Andrew Tate has claimed the conditions of his detention are "cruel and unusual", alleging the water available in his jail cell is making him ill.

The social media influencer made the claims in a series of posts over the weekend, alleging that the only water available in his cell comes from what he described as a "brown and filthy" shower tap.

Tate claimed he is not permitted to drink bottled water and is instead being "forced to drink poisoned water." He alleged the water is unclean and has caused him "persistent stomach problems."

The claims come after Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested earlier this month in Miami after US Marshals executed a UK extradition warrant seeking their return to Britain. The brothers are wanted in connection with charges including rape, sex trafficking and child pornography, which they deny.

Tate also claimed he is being held in a Special Housing Unit, alleging he has no access to the prison commissary, no phone calls and no time outside his cell. His lawyer, Joseph McBride, said a court hearing was scheduled for Monday and that the legal team would seek to address the brothers' detention conditions.

"We'll exhaust all appropriate measures at this time to ensure that Andrew and Tristan are well taken care of," McBride said. He added: "We are gravely concerned about Andrew and Tristan's physical, spiritual and psychological health in solitary confinement."

Meanwhile, the White House has ruled out any intervention in the brothers' legal case. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week that US President Donald Trump has no plans to intervene while Andrew and Tristan Tate await extradition proceedings to the UK.

Ryan Gosling shocked fans over the weekend, revealing himself as Marvel's next Ghost Rider during a surprise Comic-Con appearance, and Mendes, 52, made clear she'd called it years ago. 

 

The couple, who share daughters Esmeralda and Amada, first met back in 2011 while filming "The Place Beyond the Pines."

On Sunday, July 26, Mendes reshared a fan-edited clip from that very film, layering the newly unveiled Ghost Rider logo over a tracking shot of Gosling as motorcycle stunt driver Luke Glanton. 

The edit's caption read, "from this intro only i thought ryan gosling can be a perfect casting for ghost rider role," and Mendes signed her own post, simply, "Love, Roxy." That nod referenced Roxanne Simpson, the character Mendes played opposite Nicolas Cage in 2007's original "Ghost Rider" film.

Ryan, 45, made his casting official at Marvel's Hall H panel, where studio president Kevin Feige brought him onstage, sending the crowd into a frenzy. "Wow, is this really happening?" Gosling asked, visibly emotional, before adding, "As you know, this is a character I've wanted to play for a very long time." He appeared dressed in a red jacket and black pants, a clear visual nod to the character's fiery aesthetic.

The role marks Gosling's second collaboration with director Shawn Levy, following their work together on the upcoming "Star Wars: Starfighter." Plot details remain under wraps, but the parallel between Gosling's new role and Mendes' own Ghost Rider history clearly wasn't lost on either of them, given the pointed social media tribute. Mendes later posted a montage of the couple's "Pines" scenes to her Instagram Stories, thanking the original edit's creator for spotlighting what she called "this beautiful parallel universe connection."

The pair began dating shortly after wrapping "The Place Beyond the Pines" and have kept their relationship largely private, though both have shared warm tributes over the years. Gosling once told Hello magazine that Mendes embodies everything he could want, adding simply, "There's nothing else I'm looking for." Marvel has set Ghost Rider for a 2028 release, giving fans plenty of time to watch the couple's real-life love story echo its own strange, cinematic parallel.

Savannah Guthrie has released a heartbreaking new video plea nearly six months after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home.

Savannah posted the message to Instagram on July 27, directly addressing the kidnappers. "It has been months since our mom was taken from us. Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed," she said.

Joined in the search by her siblings Annie and Camron Guthrie, Savannah emphasized their determination: "We have done our part and we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts."

Turning her words toward those responsible, she pleaded: "The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way. So I'm asking you, begging you to do the right thing now. Make the right choice. Help us find her, tell us where to look for her. I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing."

Savannah concluded with one final appeal: "No matter where we've been or what we've done, I believe there is always a way home. Please make the right choice."

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was abducted on February 1. Doorbell footage released by the FBI showed a masked intruder entering her home, but no suspects have been identified. Investigators have also confirmed several ransom notes demanding millions in bitcoin, with threats that Nancy would be killed if deadlines were not met.

Despite the threats, Nancy has not been found, and the case remains unsolved. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department continue to investigate, with rewards for information raised to $1 million earlier this year.

Savannah, currently on hiatus from Today while filming NBC's upcoming Wordle game show, has vowed to keep speaking out until her mother is found.
