Violet Affleck Speaks Out Against L.A. Mask Ban at Supervisors Meeting: ‘Bans Do Not Keep Us Safer’
In Touch Weekly - Whitney Danhauer
Violet Affleck is using her voice! The eldest child of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took some time to give her views on the potential ban on masks in Los Angeles, California. Violet, 18, spoke at the L.A. County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, July 9, and opposed the potential new law that would prohibit people from wearing masks. “I’m 18. I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019. I’m okay now, but I saw firsthand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses,” Violet stated. “One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological cardiovascular illness that can take away people’s ability to work, move, see and even think stands to exacerbate our homelessness crisis, as well as the suffering of many people in our city.” Tot to Adult! Pics of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Daughter Violet Officials in New York City and Los Angeles have recently seemed open to the idea of banning masks due to an increase in violence surrounding public protests and demonstrations. Several tense protests regarding the Israel-Hamas war have resulted in local authorities claiming that people are wearing masks as a way to conceal their identity, as opposed to protecting themselves from any potential illnesses. However, Violet voiced her beliefs that banning masks would only harm those in marginalized communities. Violet continued, “It hits communities of color, disabled people, elderly people, trans people, women and anyone in a public-facing essential job the hardest. To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. We must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment.” Violet ended her passionate speech by saying, “And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason they do not keep us safer. They make them vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together.” Along with Violet, Ben, 51, and Jennifer, 52, share children Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. While the exes have mostly kept their kids out of the spotlight, Violet has been seen sporting a mask around Los Angeles. The teen recently graduated from high school and, according to People, it looks like Violet has an Ivy League in her sights. She was seen in a photo from her school’s Instagram page that …

Larry King’s Widow Shawn Is Unrecognizable, Looks Bruised Up in 1st Public Outing in 4 Years
In Touch Weekly - Beth Shilliday
Shawn King, the widow of late TV icon Larry King, stepped out with cuts and bruises on her face as she was spotted out and about for the first time since his death three and a half years ago, as seen in video and photos exclusively obtained by In Touch. “She looked very tired, and it seemed like she was stressed out,” an eyewitness exclusively tells In Touch. “It was hard to recognize her, like she’d aged 10 years. I had a hard time recognizing her. And the bruising on her face was sad to see. Who knows what happened there.” For her outing on Wednesday, June 26, Shawn – who appeared to be moving out of a house as she instructed removal trucks who were taking away luggage – wore a large straw hat to shield herself from the California heat, jeans and a stripped gray shirt. She appeared to have a cut on her chin and what looked like bruising on one of her eyes. Singer and actress Shawn, 64, has kept an extremely low profile since her late husband’s death from sepsis on January 23, 2021, at the age of 87. She’s the mother of the former couple’s two sons Chance, 25 and Cannon, 24. Shawn has not appeared on social media since Easter 2023. She shared an Instagram Boomerang video blowing a kiss to the camera next to one of her sons, along with a photo of their dinner table. “I just finished doing the dishes,” she captioned the post. Since Larry’s death, Shawn has been embroiled in messy legal battles after vowing to fight for a share of his $144 million estate, which was originally ordered to be divided equally amongst his five surviving children. She filed a lawsuit against business managers Blouin & Company seeking $100 million in damages for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, professional negligence, and fraud in October 2022. In her lawsuit, late estranged husband’s son from his second marriage, Larry King Jr., as well as former Larry King Live producer Greg Christensen, who worked on her late estranged husband’s CNN show, were listed as defendants. Shawn claimed that the firm, along with her late estranged husband’s son Larry King Jr., were improperly transferring millions of dollars to third parties and companies behind her back and without her permission. She also claimed Blouin had a secret bank account which allowed them to funnel money to Larry’s son. The firm has denied any wrongdoing and has asked for the lawsuit to be thrown out.

In Touch Weekly - Katherine Schaffstall
While June “Mama June” Shannon has been open about taking injections to lose weight, her daughters Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird and Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon share their thoughts on Ozempic during an exclusive video interview with In Touch. While promoting season 6 of Mama June: Family Crisis, Lauryn, 24, explains that she previously considered taking Ozempic. However, she says she has been working on her weight loss journey “on [her] own” in recent years. “I don’t have any bad thoughts,” she says about the medication, which was originally intended for diabetics. “I know there’s some people who had really, really bad experiences with it, but there’s also that side of people who haven’t had any. If it works for you, it works for you.” Meanwhile, Alana, 18, says she “would probably never take” Ozempic. “But if you want to take it, go right ahead,” she continues. “More power to you. More for you, cause I’m not taking it.” June, 44, also shares advice for those considering using medication to lose weight. “Do your research on the companies. Make sure they’re getting it from the right pharmacies, all that, cause it is expensive,” she explains. Which Reality TV Show Would You Want to Join? Fans have watched June struggle with her weight over the years, and she even underwent weight loss surgery in 2015. The longtime reality star revealed she was taking weight loss injections in an April Instagram post, explaining she gained 130 pounds since the procedure. While June kept the weight off for years, she said she lost track of her fitness goals when her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell was diagnosed with cancer. Anna later died in December 2023 at the age of 29.

In Touch Weekly - Katherine Schaffstall
June “Mama June” Shannon reveals how her weight loss journey is going after sharing she was taking injections during an exclusive video interview with In Touch. “I’ve been on weight loss medication. I was first on Semaglutide, which is like Ozempic. And now I’m on Triglycerides for the last three weeks,” June, 44, tells In Touch, adding that she likes the current medication “better” and hasn’t had any side effects. She explains that she lost 30 pounds, and has also been working out at the gym “three or four times a week.” “I was one of those girlies that was like, ‘Oh no. I don’t want to be sick. I don’t want to be on the toilet. I don’t want to be throwing up’ because I experienced that with the gastric bypass – the gastric sleeve,” June continues about the mediation, referencing the weight loss surgery she had in 2016. “For me, I’ve had no side effects. I don’t eat sweets. I don’t drink sodas.” Which Reality TV Show Would You Want to Join? While Triglyceride is often treated for diabetes, June says she has had “no low blood sugar” since starting the medication. “I’ve just been really good and consistent,” the longtime reality star continues. “The only difference [for] this medicine and the gastric sleeve is I lost 160 pounds in four weeks [with the surgery] and with this I lose four pounds a week.” Fans have watched June’s weight fluctuate over the years, and she revealed she was taking weight loss injections in April after she gained 130 pounds. In an Instagram video, June told fans she underwent weight loss surgery in 2015. She went from weighing 550 pounds to 311 pounds on the day of the surgery, and she ultimately weighed 195 pounds. Mama June and Justin Stroud Argue Over Marriage Counseling: See If They're Still Together After noting she was able to keep the weight off for years, June said she started gaining weight due to the stress she felt amid her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s cancer battle. Anna eventually died at the age of 29 in December 2023. Shortly after June revealed her new weight loss plan, fans slammed the TV personality for using the weight loss injections as a “quick fix.” The drama began when June announced she lost 7.4 pounds in an Instagram post on April 28. “Didn’t you have gastric bypass a few years back?? You were looking good. What happened?” one troll wrote in the comments section, while another added, “You keep talking about how this is a lifestyle change. Your weight loss surgery was also a lifestyle change. But you didn’t …

I do carry her. She’s actually with me today,” June 44, exclusively tells In Touch about Anna while showing off a tribute bracelet she has for her eldest daughter, who passed away in December 2023 following her battle with cancer. “We have jewelry and stuff that we carry.

Learn All About the Father of 4 “We try to sit down and, like, speak with her and everything and we’re like, ‘Life looks …. the picture looks a little bit different now that your mama’s not here,’” June explains. “I don’t think it’s honestly fair that Anna’s not raising Kylee and Kaitlyn. Like, I shouldn’t be doing it and Michael shouldn’t be doing it. It should be Anna. Period point blank. I said it. I’ve always said it to people.” While the family says that Kaitlyn is doing well in light of the situation, they add that they have not been in contact with Kylee. “Anna and Michael had a rocky past and things like that, so I mean, it is what it is,” Pumpkin says about the former couple, who split in 2017. “I respect his wishes, but I do think that Kylee and Kaitlyn really struggle with that because they’ve always been together.” What's Mama June’s Net Worth?
