Duane Roberts
Billionaire Who Invented Frozen Burrito Dead at 88
Published
Duane Roberts — the billionaire businessman credited with inventing the frozen burrito — has died … TMZ has learned.
In a statement, his wife, Kelly J. Roberts says he passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday night, just days shy of his 89th birthday. He was surrounded by family and their three dogs when he died.
Kelly called her husband “a visionary entrepreneur, devoted husband, and a man whose heart and generosity forever shaped our family and community.”
She continued, “I feel so blessed to have shared 35 wonderful years of marriage with Duane. Together, we built a beautiful life working side by side.” She shared Duane was an incredible husband and stepfather and a loving grandfather whose wisdom and warmth touched every generation of their family.
Fun fact — his stepchildren, Doug and Casey Reinhardt, both appeared on MTV’s “The Hills.”
After serving honorably in the U.S. military, he went on to revolutionize the food industry with the frozen burrito in 1956.
Beyond business, Duane was a proud philanthropist and developer … best known for restoring the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside, California. His generosity also extended to animal welfare, education, veterans, and the arts.
Duane was 88.
RIP.

Handles Bodyguard After Door Slam Fail!!!🫣

Rihanna wasn’t about to stay shut out — after her bodyguard let a door hit her in the face, she fired off a perfect clapback, all caught on cam!
The singer was stepping out of NYC’s Four Seasons on Friday when a door swung straight into her face as her bodyguard strolled right on ahead — prompting her to laugh it off and clap back, “Such a gentleman you are!”
TBF, he wasn’t totally checked out — he just seemed way more focused on the pack of paps rushing in and forgot Rihanna was right behind him.
The video’s already making the rounds online — and yeah, no clue if the bodyguard’s cringing over that door-slam fail.
One thing’s clear though … Rihanna can handle herself, and no door’s bold enough to shut her down!
St. Paul Church ICE Protester
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures!!!

Local and federal authorities are investigating after a group of anti-ICE protesters crashed a Minnesota church service … and one of the demonstrators tells TMZ she’d still do it all over again.
Here’s the deal … the DOJ and local police are investigating after protesters interrupted a service at the Cities Church in St. Paul … which is getting major headlines because Don Lemon was in the mix live-streaming the incident.

Chauntyll Allen, leader of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, who was among the group, tells TMZ … the jarring protest inside the church was necessary to make clear to the parishioners that having a pastor who is also an ICE official is unacceptable.
Chauntyll, who’s also a St. Paul School Board member, argues the community is being ripped apart by ICE … so the group disrupting a church service — and upsetting some parishioners — in comparison is pretty small potatoes.

The protesters have been dragged by people on the Right for going inside the church … but Chauntyll tells us she doesn’t think a line was crossed … and she would do it again if given the opportunity.
As for the threats of possible criminal charges … as you can see in the video, Chauntyll couldn’t care less, and argues the feds have vastly bigger fish to fry.
We spoke to a Cities Church member who feels the complete opposite … and who welcomes authorities sending a message that this type of behavior is unacceptable. And it seems President Trump agrees … sharing a social media post that Lemon specifically should be locked away.
