Lohan, other celebs pay up with SEC in crypto case

Actress Lindsay Lohan, rapper Akon and several other celebrities have agreed to pay tens of thousands of dollars to settle claims they promoted cryptocurrency investments to their millions of social media followers without disclosing they were being paid to do so.

Lohan, Akon, recording artists Ne-Yo and Lil Yachty, and boxer and internet personality Jake Paul agreed to pay more than $400,000 combined to settle the claims, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday. None admitted or denied the SEC’s findings as part of the settlement. Two other celebrities named in the complaint, rapper Soulja Boy and pop singer Austin Mahone, did not reach a settlement with the SEC, the agency said.

Bündchen breaks silence about split with Brady

Gisele Bündchen is finally opening up about her divorce from Tom Brady and the rumors that have plagued her ever since.

The model, who was married to the now-retired NFL great for 13 years, referred to the highly publicized split as “the death of my dream” and put the kibosh on claims that she gave Brady an ultimatum about choosing between their marriage and his football career.

“Wow, people really made it about that,” Bündchen said in a Vanity Fair interview published Wednesday.

The 42-year-old mother of two called the scuttlebutt “very hurtful” and “the craziest thing” she ever heard.

“Listen, I have always cheered for [Brady], and I would continue forever,” she said. “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”

After the couple’s divorce was finalized in October, rumors circulated that the Brazilian beauty was dating her jiujitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente.

Of that, Bündchen said: “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.”

Bündchen was also romantically linked to 55-year-old real estate developer Jeffrey Soffer in rumors that she referred to as “absurd.”
