Sophie Cunningham isn’t one to keep her mouth shut or her hands to herself, apparently. The Indiana Fever guard found herself in the middle of a heated exchange during Tuesday night’s matchup against the Connecticut Sun.
The drama started when Sun rookie Jacy Sheldon caught Caitlin Clark in the eye, earning a flagrant foul. Things escalated moments later when Marina Mabrey shoved Clark to the ground. But Cunningham waited until the final minute of regulation to send her own message, dragging Sheldon to the floor on a fast break and setting off a near-brawl. Both players were tossed from the game.
Connecticut head coach Rachid Meziane didn’t hold back in his postgame comments.
“When you are winning a game by 17 points and you doing this stupid foul, this is just disrespectful,” he told reporters. “I don’t know how Jacy and Lindsay [got] ejected from the game when they did nothing.”
Cunningham Responds, Fans React

Cunningham didn’t offer a traditional apology. Instead, she turned to TikTok.
On Thursday night, she posted a video of herself lip-syncing to Selena Gomez’s “Hands to Myself,” clearly aiming the message at Sheldon. She captioned the video, “It’s a joke… the sound was too fitting! happy game day.”
The post struck a nerve, but mostly in a way that worked in Cunningham’s favor. Her TikTok following soared to one million, and the video racked up praise from fans.

“This is gold,” one comment read.
“Legend,” said another.
One user called it “the best TikTok in the history of ever.”
Despite the on-court tension and postgame antics, the league stopped short of suspending Cunningham. She received a fine for her role in the altercation, but she remains eligible to play.
And she’ll need to stay ready. The next showdown between Cunningham and Sheldon is already circled on the calendar: July 15. Whatever happens next, but for sure Sophie Cunningham isn’t interested in playing nice.
Social Media Is Sending Their Prayers To Clint Eastwood Today

Clint Eastwood turned 95 recently, but it hasn’t been an easy year for the legendary actor and director.
On Tuesday, fans across the country poured out messages of support as news spread about his recent struggles. Eastwood has been mourning the sudden death of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera, who passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.
The Hollywood icon has kept a low profile since her passing. For fans who’ve followed his career for decades, seeing Eastwood go through this personal loss has struck a chord. Though the actor has rarely been seen in public in recent months, his son Scott Eastwood shared a welcome update that gave many people a reason to breathe a little easier.
Fans Rally Behind Eastwood

Scott Eastwood, in a recent interview, reassured fans that his father is holding up. “He’s doing good,” he said. “He’s a survivor, a trouper. He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.” That perspective seems to be carrying Eastwood through yet another chapter of hardship.
Supporters didn’t hesitate to show their love. Social media lit up with tributes, memories, and heartfelt messages. Many highlighted not only his contributions to film but also his resilience as a person.
“There are literally hundreds of reasons why a man doesn’t get better with age,” one fan posted on X.
Another fan commented, “HE IS NEVER GONNA STOP!!!!”
Another fan chimed in, “I hope he blesses us with his presence for many more years!”
Photographs from December 2018 show Eastwood attending the premiere of The Mule with Sandera by his side. The two had been together for years, and her sudden loss clearly left a mark on him. Though the grief remains, Eastwood isn’t ready to slow down completely. In an interview with Kurier on May 30, he reflected on aging with intent. “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” he said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”
Clint Eastwood, who has eight children- Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Francesca, Kyle, Kathryn, Scott and Morgan- continues to lean on family during this time. For fans, the hope is simple: that he keeps creating, keeps going, and, most of all, keeps finding strength in the days ahead.
