ADAM Peaty’s troubled brother James has made a bizarre move as he joins social media amid a family feud.

Adam, 30, recently took to social media and accused his family of “encouraging” false claims about him and his fiancée Holly Ramsay, 25.

Now, his brother James has joined Instagram and posed topless for his profile picture with Adam’s photo in the background.

Adam has uninvited his whole family, bar his sister, from the couple’s imminent winter wedding over their family rift.

Guests at the event in Bath are expected to include Holly’s chef dad Gordon, as well as David and Victoria Beckham.

Adam’s aunt Louise branded his fiancé Holly “divisive and hurtful” after his mother Caroline wasn’t invited to her hen do at Soho Farmhouse.

Holly later called the police while her husband-to-be was on his stag do in Budapest over concerns he could be assaulted by his brother when he got back to the UK.

Five officers met 30-year-old Adam’s plane when it arrived at Manchester Airport and escorted him through passport control.

It has since emerged that James, 34, was arrested at his Staffordshire home and later bailed.

A source close to Adam and Holly said: “This feud is heart-breaking from both sides.

“But the reality is that Adam sees his mum Caroline to be enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons.

“Poor Caroline must feel utterly torn and it’s just very hard for everyone.

“Gordon has been incredibly supportive of Holly and Adam; after all, he’s been through similar issues with his own brother.”

Adam’s father Mark previously told The Sun: “They’re brothers.

“They’ve always been close but like any normal family, brothers fight, argue, fall out, make-up and start all over again. But it’s got out of hand.

“There’s been very little empathy towards Jamie’s genuine mental health difficulties.”

However, Adam recently assured fans there were two sides to the story and insisted he only has good intentions.

It follows claims that he has changed since meeting Holly and becoming part of the Ramsay clan, distancing himself from his working class roots.

He continued: “Bethany, Holly and myself cannot go into detail given an ongoing police investigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events.

“For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place.

“I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times.

“Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story.

“To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.”

SQUEALING on camera last week, TikTok star Yasmin Hadfield couldn’t wait to tell her followers she had a coveted invitation to the opening of the Sephora store in Wales.

After months of controversies followed by a devastating miscarriage, what should have been a happy moment for the influencer mum, 32, quickly turned sour as former fans accused her of faking her involvement with the brand. Here we take a look at what went wrong for Yaz – plus the truth behind THAT controversial invite.

Our insider said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult few months for Yaz – she has battled addiction and had a tragic miscarriage, which she has really struggled to come to terms with.

“That all happened only months after she had overcome not just one but two cheating scandals, which really saw a lot of the internet turn on her.”

The invitation to Sephora opening was a real turning point for her, she felt she was finally being accepted back into the fold of TikTok fame.

But things quickly turned sour, and she was mercilessly mocked when people claimed she had pretended to be invited to the event in Wales. We can reveal she was invited to the opening – but just not by Sephora. 

It’s certainly not been trouble free and at times things have become very murky for the girls.

Insider

Yaz was taken to the event by the marketing team Capsule, who work with a variety of brands, including luxury skincare line Mario Badesco.

She attended alongside her best friend Chloe Birdsall, who has told us what really happened that day.

Chloe explained: “It was so lovely, we got a little lesson about the brand and all the products from their rep, who invited us to the spa in New York which apparently Martha Stewart loves.”

She says the backlash towards Yaz “broke her heart”, adding: “ I think people online got confused by a “collab” and a PR invite? They’re not the same thing. 

“Loads of lovely people got photos with Yaz and it was so lovely after the horrid few years she’s had, seeing her in her element.”

Chloe added: “She would do anything for anyone; she has a heart of gold. We all make mistakes and life tests us but she’s held to a different standard online. It’s horrid to see.”

Yaz lives in Wales and is married to Lee Hadfield – they have a son called Wolf. Eden is married to Lloyd, and they share a son called Sonny. On screen, they had the picture-perfect families. 

Drink and drug addiction

Behind closed doors, something much darker was going on – Yaz was secretly battling drug and alcohol addiction.

Today, she is nine months sober, but at one point, there were fears that addiction could take over her life. Her dad, from Tunbridge Wells, stepped in last Christmas and told her it was time to take action.

Recalling that moment, she explained: “I was just like, right, Yasmin, you literally have one more chance at this beautiful life you and Lee have built. You either take it or you just continue on the path you were on.

“My dad was the only person who could get through to me on Christmas night and he spoke to Lee.”

She credits Lee as helping to ‘put her back together’, and admits she considered wiping her online history – riddled with embarrassment and shame about her dishonesty for all those years.

She said: “I could have so easily removed all the content from the last few years and started from scratch. And not allow people to go back through fishing and trying to look where they can see me a bit bug-eyed or where they can see me looking a bit worse for wear. But I don’t want that. I want to be real.”

She suffered heartache a few months ago when she discovered she had miscarried – leaving her in a state of disbelief and although she shared what was going on with her followers online, Yaz took a real step back.

Yaz and her sisters Eden, 27, and sister Freya are not new to the internet – they’ve been making content for years and have over three million followers between them, but it’s been far from easy.

Shocking claim rocks the family

Our insider said: “Almost straight away, Eden was subjected to backlash and trolling. She was rapidly gaining followers, and while she had millions of fans, there were, of course, some people who picked fault with everything she said or did.

“It’s not been much better for her sisters, and all three of them have come offline at various points to reevaluate their careers.

“Yaz has been painted as a homewrecker, while Eden has dealt with allegations of being a predator. It’s certainly not been trouble-free, and at times things have become very murky for the girls.”

The online barrage was nothing new to Yaz – having been through it all before with her sisters.

Yaz can’t escape Eden’s comments and often feels like she spends a lot of time and energy defending her.

Insider

The first major controversy came when Eden made an off-the-cuff remark about ‘fancying’ a young boy in a play. 

In a video, she said: “The lead was 10 and I fancied him. I’m not ashamed.”

She said she was 18 at the time, and her comment went viral, sparking the first attempt to cancel her for being a ‘predator’. 

Eden later backtracked and apologised, insisting she hadn’t meant what she said. In one of her many apology videos, she said: “To have to say those words is absolutely disgusting. But this is the bed I laid for myself.”

Soon, people picked up on every wrong move she made – and there were a number of instances when she left viewers gobsmacked when she made risky comments in front of kids, which many felt were inappropriate.

Our insider said: “The whole thing caused such a drama and keeps coming back to haunt them both. Yaz can’t escape Eden’s comments and often feels like she spends a lot of time and energy defending her.”

VERY close with her brother-in-law

More recently, wild rumours spread that Yaz was in love with Eden’s husband Lloyd.

Our insider said: “Lots of people think the relationship Yaz has with Lloyd is weird, and they can’t understand how they could be so close.”

She has fueled the speculation, admitting she is indeed obsessed with him.

Yaz told Eden in one video: “I was obsessed with Lloyd. I was honestly obsessed with Lloyd from the second I met him, wasn’t I? 

“I have always loved him. Always will love him. Not having an affair with him, but do have an abnormal obsession with Lloyd.”

Eden became so enraged by the constant comments, she hit out in a fiery video online, but insiders have told us the constant speculation is, in fact welcomed by the girls.

They said: “There is the idea that Eden and Yaz say things they know could get them cancelled because it leads to lots of engagement.  TikTok is their job, so they do need to make money and stay relevant, and this is a great way to get people talking.”

Yaz was caught up in another scandal when an Instagram user accused her of sleeping with her husband while she slept upstairs with their baby.

She fiercely denied the ‘vile’ claims and said she was most upset about being branded a bad mum amid all the drama. 

If anything, Yaz and Eden are hyper-aware when it comes to their children, and despite sharing their lives on camera, Eden will not reveal her little boy’s face.

They are aware of the damage their jobs could cause to their little boys, Yaz previously said: “I think the internet’s got enough damage towards my little boy that he’s going to see one day. It’s all my fault.”

She added: “I’ll be hiding an iPhone from him until he’s 60.”

It’s easy to forget amid all the mess, the good the pair have done – Eden’s videos during the pandemic, where she sat and ate food while chatting to the camera, were lauded, and now Yaz’s sobriety journey has inspired others.

But can they avoid any more drama? Only time will tell – and as they’ve learnt only too well, the internet never forgets. 

Richardson is the second interim official US President Donald Trump has appointed to lead FEMA since the start of his second term.

David Richardson, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is stepping down, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Monday’s announcement ends a troubled tenure. It comes just six months after Richardson took the job and while the Atlantic hurricane season is still under way.

Richardson, a former Marine Corps officer, is the second FEMA head to leave or be fired since May. He departs amid criticism that he kept a low profile during the deadly Texas floods in July that killed 130 people and baffled staff in June when he said he was unaware the country had a hurricane season.

A DHS spokesperson gave no reasons for why the FEMA chief was departing. The Washington Post was the first to report that Richardson was leaving.

The DHS spokesperson said in a statement that FEMA chief of staff Karen Evans will replace Richardson, and that FEMA and DHS appreciate Richardson’s service.

Richardson’s predecessor, Cameron Hamilton, was fired in May, after pushing back against efforts under President Donald Trump to dismantle the agency.

President Trump has said he wants to greatly reduce the size of FEMA — the federal agency responsible for preparing for and responding to natural disasters — saying state governments can handle many of its functions.

FEMA plays a central role in the US response to major disasters, including hurricanes. The Atlantic hurricane season is due to end this month.

Richardson kept a low public profile compared with FEMA leaders under previous presidents, appearing rarely in public. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has served as the face of the administration’s response to natural disasters during Trump’s second term.

Richardson’s abrupt departure is an ignominious end for an official who told staff when he first arrived in May that he would “run right over” anyone who resists changes and that all decisions must now go through him.

“I, and I alone in FEMA, speak for FEMA,” he said at the time.

FEMA has lost about 2,500 employees since January through buyouts, firings and other incentives for staff to quit, reducing its overall size to about 23,350, according to a September Government Accountability Office report.

The cuts are part of Trump’s broader push to cut the cost and size of the federal civilian workforce.

“I’m born alone and I’m going to die alone, so go on your own journey.”

That statement from British light-middleweight Ishmael Davis might appear blunt at face value, but his harsh view on life was developed through some difficult formative years.

By the age of 14, Davis had been kicked out of school, kicked out of his childhood home and was adapting to the responsibility of caring for newborn twin sons.

“I had a bit of a rough upbringing,” Davis tells BBC Sport.

“I was living with my first baby’s mum at 14, went into a hostel until I was 15 and then I got my own flat.

“Because I wasn’t making money it was hard. I was only getting around £100 every two weeks. It was a hard time in my life but these are the things I’ve had to come through.”

Davis, now 30, first stepped into a boxing gym aged 12 and took part in an unlicensed amateur fight the following year, but any dreams of pursuing the sport further were shelved as he tried to provide for his children.

Despite still being a child himself, Davis turned to the streets of Chapeltown in Leeds to make ends meet.

“I was year nine when I had my first kids. After that I wanted to be out on the streets all the time and I got into gangs,” Davis says.

“Because I had kids young, I started selling drugs.”

Davis would land himself in prison not long after and was on the path some of his closest friends and family were walking.

On 15 November he faces Sam Gilley for the British and Commonwealth light-middleweight titles on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he looks to get his career back in track after three losses in his past four fights.

Davis discusses how differently his life could have been if not for boxing and his personal drive.
