Flabba’s killer Sindisiwe Manqele admits as she shows her face in public after parole release

Peter Griffin‘s great aunt, Legs Go All the Way Up Griffin, was a gag enjoyed by more than just “Family Guy” fans, but Chloë Grace Moretz didn’t find the joke funny. In an interview with Hunger magazine, the “Miseducation of Cameron Post” star shared that memes comparing her to the short-lived “Family Guy” character — whose body is nothing more than a pair of long legs under a face and arms — negatively impacted her self-image. “Everyone was making fun of my body and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the f— up, it’s funny,’” she told Hunger. “And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram.” In the interview published last Tuesday, the actor recalled being in the public eye for a majority of her life, and how her body garnered attention on social media. Moretz spoke specifically about a paparazzi photo in 2016 that captured her carrying leftover pizza into a hotel. In the photo, the actor was dressed in a black shirt, shorts and high heels. But when Moretz’s photo circulated the internet, trolls had their way with it, altering the photo to look like Moretz had a shorter torso. They then compared the actor with the “Family Guy” character, who appeared in the 2011 episode “Amish Guy.” “It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers,” she said. “And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome.” She said she “was kind of sad” and felt “super self-conscious” getting dressed and appearing in front of cameras after the meme poked fun at her body. “I think that body dysmorphia — which we all deal with in this world — is extrapolated by the issues of social media,” said Moretz. “It’s a headf—.” Since becoming a “recluse” as a result of the jokes about her body, the “Hugo” actor eased her way back into the spotlight. She most recently appeared in the films “Mother/Android,” “Tom & Jerry” and “Shadow in the Cloud.”

One of The Try Guys, Ned Fulmer, has been released from the show after he admitted to cheating on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, with an employee of the show. "Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship," Fulmer said. "I'm sorry for any pain my actions have caused to the guys and the fans but most of all to Ariel. The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that's where I am going to focus my attention." The show, in which four guys try things like colonics, wig making and tap dancing for the first time, has since severed ties with Ned Fulmer, saying in a statement, "As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together. We thank you for your support as we navigate this change." Who are The Try Guys? The Try Guys was started by former BuzzFeed employees Fulmer, Eugene Lee Yang, Keith Habersberger, and Zach Kornfeld during their time at the company. They made their first video trying ladies' underwear for the first time in 2014. Their videos amassed about 100 million views on the BuzzFeed YouTube channel. The quartet left the outlet in 2018 to start their own production company and channel. Their independent channel has almost 2.2 billion views and 7.8 million subscribers. Ariel Fulmer appeared alongside her husband in several videos doing DIYs, and as part of the group's "Try Wives" series.
