@DJRTistic Drake’s appeal to a lot of his male fanbase is he was the “nerd” that became extremely popular. So threats to his image can feel super personal. They’re not merely defending him, they’re defending an aspirational version of themselves.

She filmed herself masturbating with a sex toy on live video chats with teens under 16. She had sex with a student in the back of a truck at a golf course.
This is Maris Nichols.
The 25-year-old former biology teacher and football staffer at Alexander High School in Georgia is back in custody and the details only get worse from here.
She was already out on a $40,000 bond for a child molestation charge. That apparently wasn't the end of it. It was barely the beginning.
Now she's facing 11 new charges as the victim count climbs to six. The lineup reads like a nightmare: tampering with evidence, two counts of child molestation, four counts of improper sexual contact by an employee, and four counts of grooming a minor.
Investigators say the encounters happened in school closets, in vehicles, and in a golf course parking lot. One incident played out inside a student's Hummer. At least four of the six alleged victims were students at the school.
And when she sensed it was closing in? Just three days before her original arrest, she allegedly told one of the teens to delete their entire message history. That single move bought her the evidence-tampering charge.
Her new bail has been set at $74,000. The investigation is still wide open.
The closet. The truck. The golf course. The cameras. The cover-up. One by one she was busier than a Burger King bathroom.
