[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

An Indiana man pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after admitting he poisoned his wife. And the story behind that is… even more shocking.

According to newly revealed court documents accessed by USA Today and other outlets, 71-year-old Alfred Ruf (pictured above) pled guilty to aggravated battery during a court hearing in Richmond, Indiana back in July. Then, on Monday of this week, he was sentenced to four years in prison and five more years of probation.

According to prosecutors, the whole thing came about after Ruf got the idea to kill his longtime wife… so that he could marry his stepdaughter!

Per multiple outlets, Ruf told cops that he began “spiking” his wife’s drinks in January 2022. The substance he used, which authorities later determined to contain cocaine, MDMA, and benzodiazepines, was first given to him by his stepdaughter — the woman’s very own daughter.

The whole plot came undone when the wife began to suspect she was being drugged. She went to the cops with a pill bottle she found in her house that contained an unknown powdery substance with an “off-white residue.” They tested it, and also her blood and urine, and all samples came back with those three drugs. She denied ever using drugs herself — and so, the investigation was on.

The whole thing began to unravel rather quickly after that. When questioned, Ruf admitted he had been poisoning his wife in a wild bid to get with her daughter from a previous marriage. Ruf’s defense attorney told USA Today:

“Once the state changed the nature of the offense, he took responsibility for what he did wrong. That’s the appropriate thing to do.”

Uh… sure… better late than never, we suppose.

The motive for Ruf’s poisoning attempt is even crazier. Per prosecutors, Ruf admitted to being sexually involved with his stepdaughter, who is — thankfully — an adult at 31 years old. She was the one who gave him the pill bottle, he claimed, and she ordered him to put the substance in her mother’s Coca-Cola. But the stepdaughter has not been charged in connection with the crimes.

As for the reasoning behind it, prosecutors said Ruf and the stepdaughter, who has not been named publicly, were having sex — and were even keen on getting married after his wife was out of the picture. At various times, the stepdaughter — as well as an unidentified friend of hers — would call Ruf and ask him to come sprinkle the poison into the Coke cans. At that point, according to a police affidavit, all hell would break loose:

“Alfred would then sprinkle some of the white powder in (his wife’s) Coca-Cola can and then wait for her to fall asleep. [The two women] would then come to Alfred’s residence and put more of an unknown substance in (Ruf’s wife’s) drink and have her drink it.”

Then, with his wife knocked out cold — Ruf told cops she would usually be unconscious for 12-13 hours — the daughter and her friend would put on a “show” for the old man. Per court docs, the two younger women would wear the wife’s lingerie and perform “sex acts on each other” for Ruf to watch.

WTF?!?!?!

Ruf would pay the women for the sex acts, per cops. And to top it all off, the two women allegedly stole some of the unconscious wife’s personal items during those sex sessions, as well. Per the affidavit, the stepdaughter in question wanted to “get mom out of the picture” after first learning that Ruf and his wife were planning on selling their home. (Seems like we’ve been hearing a lot of unsettling news in that realm lately…) The stepdaughter was also apparently interested in a life insurance policy that was in place for her mother.

Ruf’s stepdaughter kept telling him they would get married after they “took care” of his wife, per court docs. So yes, Ruf did realize his wife would eventually die from the persistent powerful drug cocktails. In the end, he told interrogators he “felt bad” about what was going on and decided to come clean. Now he’s facing the prospect of spending some time in prison on these horrific charges.

It doesn’t get more savage than this!

Kaia Gerber just posted the ultimate diss at an ex on her Instagram! On Tuesday, the model posted a photo of herself rocking a skinny black bikini while sunbathing on a dock. Normally, that kind of thirst trap alone would be enough to send a signal — but she added way more oomph! In the photo, she was holding a book titled DEAR D**KHEAD — and in the caption she wrote that it was “a book for someone i used to know.” DAMN! But that’s not all! In a second photo, she highlighted a passage from the book, which read:

“At this point, your sheer dumbf**kery commands a certain respect. But it doesn’t change the basics: I don’t give a s**t about you. All my love to your sister, she was a wonderful friend.”

Damn!!!

Related: Kaia Gerber Didn’t Know How ICONIC Her Mom Cindy Crawford Was?!

Now that’s shady AF!!! Check it out (below):

BTW, the book is a French novel by Virginie Despentes about a “B-list novelist” who insults an actress online and they “strike up a combative correspondence.” And get this! The guy gets “accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist.” The book touches deeply on the patriarchy and addiction, per Macmillan Publishers. It’s the September pick for Kaia and Alyssa Reeder‘s Library Science book club, too, which was also announced on the day this was posted.

But adding in a subtweet of “someone” she used to know is… another level! Obviously with the sexual politics the book is playing in, we have to think she’s blasting a guy she dated.

In recent years, Kaia’s been linked to Jacob Elordi and, briefly, Pete Davidson. She’s currently dating Austin Butler — at least, if they’re still good. Who is this book message for? Well, they all have sisters, so that won’t help narrow down the mystery man! Who do Y’ALL think she could be calling out?? Is she referencing a former beau — or did the Elvis star just do something to piss her off?!

They’ve been linked since 2021 and were last spotted holding hands while out and about in NYC almost two weeks ago. So far as we know, everything’s been going well in the romance… but maybe s**t just hit the fan and she’s subtly hinting at it?? We hope not!! Also with the “used to know” thing we’re thinking ancient history. Then again… it is a pretty fresh-feeling attack!

The hits just keep coming for Blake Lively!

Amid her feud with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, the 37-year-old actress has faced a ton of backlash on social media over the past few weeks. It isn’t just the IEWU promo stuff — several old interviews painting her in a pretty bad light have resurfaced. And it isn’t over yet! Fans slammed Blake for another one of her interviews, this time for a comment she made 10 years ago during a Vogue “73 Questions” video!

Related: Did Blake Lively Accidentally Get Ryan Reynolds In HUGE Trouble?!

In the footage, posted in July 2014, the interviewer asks which movie she “laughed the hardest through.” And her reply? NOT a comedy! She said with a completely straight face:

“Shawshank Redemption.”

What?! The Shawshank Redemption is not a laugh riot! We’re talking about a tearjerker about men doing everything they can to endure a hellish, unfair prison system. Fantastic movie, one of the best. But not a comedy.

In her defense, it sounds like Blake was attempting to be funny here. However, fans did not take it that way! When a social media user posted the clip on TikTok this month, people swarmed the comments section to drag Blake. Some thought she was genuinely being sociopathic, others just thought her humor was falling flat. See what fans thought of her little joke (below):

“The Shawshank Redemption? I cried watching it.”

“Even as a joke I would not have picked Shawshank Redemption. Something like The Human Centipede or Silence of the Lambs would be better suited.”

“I think she was trying to answer like Ryan Reynolds’s but missed completely lol”

“​​I don’t think blake and i saw the same shawshank redemption”

“it just gets worse and worse AND WORSE”

“Shawsank redemption literally made me cried and stressed.”

“Maybe she heard “movie you cried the hardest through” because I’m flabbergasted”

“Shawshank is one of my favorite movies but to LAUGH through it is INSANE! I cry literally every time I watch it.”

@saronthings

Replying to @Alma Dominguez no becuase admitting that the shawshank redemption is a movie you laughed all the way through is an admission that #blakelively is … problematic if im putting it nicely. #popculture #popculturenews #greenscreenvideo #greenscreen #itendswithus #colleenhoover

What are your thoughts on the resurfaced interview? Is everyone just piling on at this point over a silly joke? Or is this another piece of evidence to you that Blake is kind of a jerk? Sound OFF (below)!

Scotty McCreery won’t stand for any violence at his concerts — especially towards women.

According to footage posted on social media, the 30-year-old country singer was performing the track It Matters To Her during a show at the Colorado State Fair on Saturday. However, he stopped in the middle of the song and called out a male audience member when he apparently saw the guy hit a woman! OMG! While pointing out into the crowd, Scotty shouted:

“Hey! Right here, right here. That’s a lady you just hit, sir. Absolutely not, you just hit the lady.”

The American Idol alum immediately asked for event police and security to take the man out of the venue, saying:

“Get the heck out of here. On God’s green Earth, at a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing? Y’all let the cops know who hit the lady ‘cause that’s absolutely unacceptable. Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward, hitting a lady. Get the heck out of here.”

Crew members went on to shine spotlights into the front of the crowd to help officials locate the guy. Eventually, the man was removed from the area, and the concert continued. Scotty told the audience before playing again:

“Well, if we’re all set, let’s get on back to the show.”

We’re glad Scotty came to that fan’s aid. No one should ever get attacked like that on what should be a fun night out enjoying music. Watch a clip of the incident (below):

Damn!!

On Tuesday, Scooter took to his Instagram Story to share a poster of the Max documentary Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood, revealing:

“I finally watched it…”

But why did he even want to watch it!? It was just a recap of what he already knows, right? He was referencing this doc, BTW:

Now that he’s retired, he’s just trying to cause trouble, we guess! And it didn’t end there…

Justin Bieber‘s ex-manager followed up by sharing a TMZ post about the singer’s Rhode Island weekend festivities (below), in which she had lots of A-listers over after ending the European leg of the Eras Tour. He jokingly asked:

“How was I not invited to this?!?”

And he added the hashtag “#laughalittle.” Ugh.

He’s clearly not over this feud — and maybe looking for a little attention!! Just leave her alone, dude! You’ve done enough already!

After going through hell in the royal family, Meghan Markle has found her new path in life!

In a lengthy Us Weekly cover story on Wednesday, sources opened up about how the Duchess of Sussex has found her new purpose after taking her Prince Charming and going home. Noting that she’s gone through many career changes in her past, a family friend told the outlet:

“You’re established in one world and then you enter another and your narrative is dictated by external forces.”

Not easy to navigate!

Related: Prince Harry Is Making This BOLD Move To Reconcile With His Family!

After leaving the royal family, Meghan and Prince Harry made a splash by doing several media projects and interviews, but it quickly became apparent none of it was panning out the way they had hoped. Their podcast, their Netflix deal, nothing was hitting.

In recent months, however, the Suits alum has clearly been preparing for her next shot. Not only is she teasing the launch of her lifestyle company American Rivera Orchards, but she’s also taking pointers from Hollywood powerhouses like Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow. She joined them and others at the house of broker Amy Griffin for a one-day business summit in July, an insider dished:

“Meghan was there to network. She was very kind and humble and eager to learn.”

Over the summer, she’s also gotten more involved with various charity organizations, like The Parents’ Network, a campaign to protect kids from online harm. She and her hubby also made a trip to Colombia. A second insider reflected:

“Meghan has transitioned from actress to royal to entrepreneur. She’s worn many hats, but she believes age and experience have [prepared her] for a bigger purpose in life. She’s very happy with the role she’s carved out.”

It was important for her to take the time to process everything and come up with a new plan of action after her initial media blitz post-royals, the family friend acknowledged:

“After Spare, [Harry and Meghan] realized, ‘OK, we’re ready to move on. We want to focus on our future. We can have meaning and importance separate from the lives we had previously.’”

They added:

“Meghan doesn’t harbor any negative feelings. She just wants peace, and knows you can’t find peace if you harbor resentments.”

She seemed to address this herself earlier this month in Colombia, saying:

“So much of how I approach things is less about the fight and more about how do we show up in the space and wash things over with love and kindness and generosity.”

Take her feud with Princess Catherine, for example. While she was happy to wish her well amid her cancer diagnosis, Meghan and Harry have not spoken out about other royal matters — and that’s on purpose. The family friend dished:

“Meghan’s team gets asked daily to comment on stuff that has nothing to do with their lives now. They have left it behind.”

She’s also left some of her own family members behind, like controversial father Thomas Markle, the first source said:

“Meghan still has no contact with her dad. She does not plan on having a relationship with him, and he has not met his grandkids. That ship has sailed.”

Instead, she leans on her pals and “has a great group of friends who are all successful in their own ways who she really trusts.” This includes Serena Williams and Ellen DeGeneres plus other local moms she meets up with regularly. The first insider added that she’s “very close” with neighbor and Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd while a second insider said she’s befriended entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, cofounder of IT Cosmetics.

Things are a bit more difficult for Harry. He “has a small [group] of close friends,” the second source shared, claiming he prefers to keep his inner circle small for “understandable reasons.” While that may be true, we have been hearing his UK friends don’t like his wife and that’s a big reason he’s become more lonely. Not to mention, most live in the UK, and he had to move to California — so that can’t be easy! Regardless, it sounds like he’ll always put his family first, the source went on:

“He’ll always be fond of his home country, but the way he views it, his wife and kids are his priority. If that means making sure they’re safe and happy in Montecito, then he supports that.”

The husband and wife are both very hands-on parents who want their kids Archie and Lilibet to have normal childhoods despite their fame, the family friend continued:

“They take the kids to school, they pick them up, and they are very active and present with them throughout the day.”

Referencing the Duke’s battle for security in the UK, the family friend insisted the children are going to stay out of the spotlight for their safety, noting:

“I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can’t. … [Prince] William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does.”

It sounds like the kids may not even understand their royal heritage yet, as the friend pointed out, “they’ll have those conversations in due time.” Right now, Meg and Harry want the little ones to feel loved for who they are:

“They’re so well-mannered. Archie is sweet and curious and playful, and Lili is vibrant and happy.”

The second source added that the parents are happy just being parents right now. Thankfully they apparently have plenty of time despite working on their Archewell Foundation campaigns and launching their business ventures. But as the kids get older, anything is possible:

“Afterwards who’s to say? But I think the focus is very much on raising their two children.”

And staying on the same page really helps. Meghan and Harry have been leaning on each other for support this whole time, the friend shared:

“They’re so in sync. Throughout their relationship, they’ve stood together no matter what.”

The second insider revealed that they enjoy downtime together and try to keep a positive mindset and are motivated to do their best work always, saying:

“It’s rooted in the bonds they share together.”

As for their new life in California, they do a lot of low-key activities like gardening, hiking, and cooking. The second insider described it as “a California lifestyle.” What, they don’t garden in Merry Old England??

While it was no doubt difficult to walk away from the royal family, they do have a big bonus now. They can work on “projects they are passionate about as opposed to being given projects to do,” making the work “more personal,” the second insider dished. Good point!

Along with The Parents’ Network, Meghan is working on her new initiative, the Welcome Project, which helps empower female refugees from Afghanistan. A third source who has worked with the former actress told the outlet:

“Female advocacy remains a centerpiece of her philanthropic intent.”

She’s also looking forward to launching her lifestyle brand sometime early next year, around the time her new Netflix series is supposed to premiere. The second source expressed:

“[ARO] will likely be very much in line with who Meghan is as a person. She loves hosting events, and she’s very thoughtful about how she treats her guests whenever they come over.”

The third insider said her series “is going to be a take on her and the joy of living,” including “little things she’s learned in terms of being a modern-day hostess.” It’s been rumored Harry may make an appearance. For now, the sources just promised there would be many familiar faces joining in.

So, Meghan has a lot on her plate coming up — but she’s NOT planning to run for office, return to acting, or write a memoir despite rampant rumors, the third confidant maintained. She’s just being Meghan:

“Meghan’s in the middle of her story right now.”

Maybe one day! Right now, a big passion of the 43-year-old’s is simply to give back, the family friend added:

“She knows her life would be extraordinarily different if she did not marry who she married. There is privilege and so much room to do good. She wants to meet the moment and make good on her good fortune.”

The friend noted that it was hard for her to “be herself” in the royal household which is why this change of pace is so refreshing, they shared:

“Most people are not really allowed to be themselves — if you’ve watched The Crown, I think that’s pretty understood.”

That’s why she’s so excited about this moment:

“There’s air and space and room. She can just be who she is.”

It’s certainly an exciting time with so much still to come from Meg! We just hope her business ventures and media projects are more successful this time around! Otherwise, she’s gonna have to come up with a whole new plan!

Thoughts?? Sound OFF (below)!

If you’re tuning into Celebs Go Dating for the bare, naked reality of it, then you might want to find another show…

Anglophiles may be familiar with the British dating show where celebs try their luck at love through the Celebrity Dating Agency. And as you might imagine, there’s one big non-negotiable rule for the show: BE SINGLE. But it sounds like the current season’s Helen Flanagan plays by her own rules!

On Tuesday, The Sun reported that while being a part of the show and going on dates, the soap star has secretly been nurturing a new romance off cameras! That’s right, the 34-year-old is apparently dating former soccer star Robbie Talbot, which goes against the show’s rules. But guess what? Network execs at E4 apparently know about it, and they are working with her to come up with a plan to keep her on the show!! A source told the outlet:

“Helen tried to keep the relationship under wraps because of Celebs Go Dating. But that’s become difficult as their feelings have grown for each other. It came to a head when she was quizzed by the dating agents about why she was failing to pursue connections on the show. The one rule of CGD is stars must be single. But E4 bosses were desperate to keep her, so found a way to write Robbie into the show.”

Whoa! They really do seem “desperate”! The insider continued:

“Sources on set have seen him filming alongside Helen. While it’s not known how E4 will justify the fakery, viewers will feel they’re trying to pull the wool over their eyes.”

Yikes! That won’t be good!

Helen reportedly went public with Robbie during her birthday party on August 10, where she shared posts on social media of her and the retired athlete dancing the night away. All the while she’s been on the show pretending to be single, even kissing a fellow cast member! Yeesh!

A Celebs Go Dating spokesperson told The Sun:

“During the filming of Celebs Go Dating, the executive producers discovered that Helen Flanagan was in a relationship outside of the CGD process. Once this came to light, Helen was asked to be transparent with the agents and her fellow celebrities during her next filming day. As per the show’s guidelines, all participating celebrities must be single. After discussing the situation, it was decided that Helen and her partner, Robbie, would meet with the agents to assess their compatibility, and Helen would no longer date members of the public. These developments will be featured on the show starting from episode 10.”

Wow! What are your thoughts on this situation, Perezcious readers?? Should she even be allowed to stay on the show? Let us know in the comments down below!

The decision Brittany Cartwright made to file for divorce from Jax Taylor wasn’t an easy one, but it was a “long time coming.” That’s according to a new source who spoke out very late on Tuesday night about the dynamic ongoing between the two Bravo stars who are now estranged from each other and must co-parent their 3-year-old son Cruz while splitting off the rest of their lives.

As we’ve been reporting, the 35-year-old Cartwright filed for divorce earlier on Tuesday. It wasn’t a complete shock — the couple’s problems had been well-documented for a very long time — but it still landed with a major thud when word of the divorce hit the news. So, it’s really over.

Related: Brittany Posts HOT Thirst Trap After Leaving Jax Taylor For Good!

And now, an insider is speaking to People about what went into that decision by the Kentucky native. Speaking carefully about the process, the source began by saying:

“[Divorce is] something Brittany knew she had to do for the best interest of herself and her son … in order to move forward and put a stop to this tumultuous cycle they’ve been living in.”

Whoa. That last part is certainly cryptic. And the comments only got even more cryptic from there! Noting that “a lot has transpired” in recent months, the insider reasoned that Brittany simply couldn’t go on as she had been:

“There’s a lot that has transpired over the past few months that she could not look past. This decision wasn’t made lightly but she feels adamant that it was the right one.”

Yikes…

Meanwhile, that same source says that Jax is “feeling mixed emotions” about the divorce. But Brittany is going headlong into the future, and committed to seeing it through. The insider concluded:

“She knows this is ultimately the right decision but is sad that things ended up the way they have. It’s been an emotional month for him and he’s trying to stay strong for his son.”

And really, Cruz is the most important part here. As long as both parents can stay strong for the little guy and do what needs to be done to give him the love and support he’ll so desperately need, then it’ll all work out in the end. We hope.

Still, these new cryptic comments really have us feeling some type of way. What were the things that went down over the last few months that “she could not look past”?? Is there more going on behind the scenes than even all the stuff that the world already knew about?! Guess we’ll have to wait and see on that…

Uhhh, did Blake Lively unintentionally out Ryan Reynolds for breaking a HUGE Hollywood rule?! This is serious!

As we’ve been following, Blake was proud to tell everyone about how the Deadpool and Wolverine star contributed to It Ends with Us in a major behind-the-scenes way: he rewrote the famous rooftop scene!

During the film’s New York premiere earlier this month, Blake gushed to E! News:

“We help each other, we work together so much. The iconic rooftop scene in this movie, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that but you now. But he wrote it, he works on everything I do, I work on everything he does so his wins, his celebrations are mine, and mine are his. He’s all over this film.”

Hear her talk more about it (below):

We mostly had been thinking of Ryan’s little rewrite as it pertained to the It Ends With Us drama. You know, how she and Ryan allegedly took over the movie from director Justin Baldoni? But we apparently missed the bigger scandal!

IEWU began filming in May 2023 — just three days prior to the Writers Guild of America strike. You know, the one which barred guild members — like Ryan — from writing for Hollywood productions until the strike ended in late September??

If Ryan truly rewrote the scene during filming, as she said, he did so against strike rules! That’s right! Her so-called superhero was actually being a SCAB! Heck, it’s possible she went to her hubby because the film’s actual writer wasn’t allowed to touch up the scene! If that’s true, Ryan could get in big trouble! All because Blake wanted to brag about how cool and funny her husband was? Oof.

The WGA hasn’t officially commented on the matter, but a source told Variety he put in his writing efforts for the film in April 2023. Oh, well isn’t that convenient? We guess it would be tricky to prove when he put pen to paper. But damn. That’s messed up if true!
