University of Pittsburgh Student Reportedly Drowned In The Ocean … After Taking Stroll On Beach
Published
The University of Pittsburgh student who disappeared while walking on the beach in the Dominican Republic is believed to have died after she apparently drowned in the ocean, according to a report.
ABC News, citing a police document, says the tragedy unfolded on March 5 … Sudiksha Konanki, 20, and five friends were taking a stroll along the beach in Punta Cana, a resort town on the Caribbean coastline.
Four members of the group returned to their hotel in the evening, leaving Konanki and one of her friends on the beach. The pair then took a dip in the ocean, during which Konanki got swept up by a huge wave and apparently drowned.
The Dominican Republic Public Ministry told ABC News that surveillance cameras recorded Konanki on the beach around 4:15 a.m. on March 6 — and it was the last time she was seen alive.
Police questioned Konanki’s friends after she vanished and eventually released them with no charges filed.
Konanki’s dad, Subbarayudu, was interviewed by CNN, and he told the network his daughter was vacationing with her friends in Punta Cana.
Subbarayudu also told CNN Konanki was enrolled in pre-med courses at University of Pittsburgh, adding that she was ambitious and wanted to pursue a career as a doctor.
Odell Beckham Jr. Accused Of Rape In Diddy Lawsuit … Diddy, NFLer Call B.S. On Allegations
Published
A woman is now alleging Odell Beckham Jr. was one of several men who raped her alongside Diddy during a violent 2018 encounter … but the rap mogul’s legal team is calling B.S. on the allegations — and so is the NFL superstar, who says they’re straight up “stupid.”
The woman — Ashley Parham — first described the incident in a lawsuit that was filed in a federal court in California back in October 2024. She initially stated that Diddy and several John Does brutally sexually assaulted her at a Northern California residence after she had made a comment about Tupac‘s murderduring a FaceTime call with Diddy at a bar about a month prior.
In an amended version of the complaint that Parham’s attorneys submitted on Friday … she claimed that two of the Does were Beckham and comedian Druski.
She alleged that after Diddy held a knife to her face, covered her with lubricant, and raped her with a TV remote, Druski eventually “jumped on top of” her and knocked the wind out of her when he treated her body “like a slip and slide.” She claimed he then began raping her vaginally.
A short time later, she said Beckham participated in the rape too — alleging some of the men in the room called him “Cornelius.”
At the time of the first filing, Diddy’s legal team denied the allegations in a statement to TMZ … and on Monday, they called the amended complaint “an even wilder narrative.”
“Her far-fetched tale contains it all: fake cops, cash bribes, and an alleged victim of the late Michael Jackson who was purportedly kidnapped across state lines and forced to ‘sign paperwork at gun point’ while shepherded through a web of ‘safe houses,'” they said.

“No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies — and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed.”
Druski and Beckham issued their own denials on Sunday evening.
“This allegation is a fabricated lie,” Druski said in a statement on X. “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.”
“My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I’m fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.”
Beckham commented on the post … writing, “Boy I’ll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I, I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid.”
Beckham played this past season with the Miami Dolphins, logging just nine catches in nine games. In 2018 — at the time of the alleged incident with Parham — he was a member of the New York Giants.
Parham’s suit alleges she went to cops with her claims … but Diddy’s legal team stated Monday authorities found her story “to be unfounded following a thorough investigation.”

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were all kissy-kissy while taking in a professional tennis tournament over the weekend — and Kendall Jenner also made a cameo at the event.
Timothée and Kylie appeared totally in love as they sat all cozy together in the stands watching a match Sunday at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, California.
Check out the video … it starts with Kylie cupping Timothée’s face and kissing him on the lips. Kendall is seen standing in front of the couple with her back to the camera.
Then the video cuts to Kylie rubbing Timothée’s tummy as they’re giggling and chatting. It ends with Timothée jumping to his feet and yelling something — presumably at one of the players on the court.
As you know, Timothée and Kylie have been an item for a couple years, going public with their romance at Beyoncé‘s 2023 concert in L.A.’s SoFi Stadium.
Since then, the pair have been seen out and about at the movies in Hollywood and the U.S. Open in New York, among other spots.
We’ll have to see where this relationship goes next. Stay tuned.
Brian Littrell Chokes Up As Son Baylee Auditions for ‘American Idol’
Published
Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrellcould barely keep it together as he stood outside the doors during his 22-year-old son Baylee’s audition for “American Idol” on Sunday night’s show.
Brian got visibly emotional as he told cameras how “proud” he is of his son during the Season 23 premiere of the singing competition, explaining … “He’s obviously grown up in the business and I think he’s cut out for it.”
The proud papa was also thrilled to join his son in his audition at judge Luke Bryan‘s request. They seamlessly harmonized to the chorus of Baylee’s original song “Waiting on Myself to Die” … and Brian choked up again as Baylee was praised by all three judges — including Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood.
He exclaimed, “I’m crying!” before Baylee seemed to tear up as he thanked the judges.
Country crooner Carrie told Baylee he can go far in the comp … so fans will have to sit back, watch and — of course — vote when it comes time for that phase of the show.
Baylee sang his father’s praises during the audition process, also … saying he thinks Brian’s career “is one of the most extraordinary in music history.”

He also recalled opening up for the Backstreet Boys as a kid, saying …”I just had my two little songs and I came off stage and when the guys went on, the screams and the lights went down. I was just mesmerized.”
Baylee also opened up for the ’90s boy band when he was a teen during the North American leg of their “DNA” world tour … so it seems like he’s had plenty of practice to hone his craft before taking this next big step.
