A health update is being shared by Jiggly Caliente's close ones.

After she experienced a serious health setback, the RuPaul's Drag Race season four participant, whose real name is Bianca Castro, had her leg amputated, according to social media confirmations from her family.

Her family posted a message on Instagram on April 24 stating, She was hospitalized due to a severe infection and, as a result, has undergone the loss of most of her right leg. Her recovery will be extensive.

Jiggly, who joined RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines as a permanent judge in 2022, will not be returning for the next season; they noted, Nor will she be participating in any public engagements for the foreseeable future.

We respectfully request privacy for Bianca and her family at this time as they navigate this difficult journey together, the statement continued. Bianca's family and drag house are deeply grateful for the continued outpouring of support, strength, and prayers.

The post further asked that While Jiggly concentrates on healing, we invite her friends, fans, and community to uplift her with messages of hope and love on her social media channels.

Jiggly, I love you so much,  wrote Bob the Drag Queen, the season eight champion, in an outpouring of support from other Drag Race alumni. You're always very honest. A real diva. Get better, sis.

Ginger Minj, meanwhile, underlined, I love you more than words can say.

You're always on my mind, the runner-up from season seven went on. I'm thinking of you in the best possible way!

After returning for the spin-off series All Stars in 2021 with a butterfly-inspired ensemble, Jiggly, who finished eighth on RuPaul's Drag Race in 2012, was first chosen to serve as a judge for the Filipino version of the show.

It became such a big deal, she said in 2022 in an interview with Gay Times. I simply thought that because I was only on for two episodes, I didn't get to showcase much of my Filipino side during the season! I wanted to bring a little bit of the Philippines to the promotion because I didn't get to wear what I truly wanted to

NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN personality Shannon Sharpe is facing a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada by a woman identified as Jane Doe. The lawsuit alleges that Sharpe committed sexual assault, battery, and emotional distress during their nearly two-year relationship, which began in 2023 when she was 20 years old. In response to the allegations, Sharpe's attorney, Lanny Davis, confirmed that Sharpe had previously offered a settlement of at least $10 million during mediation before the lawsuit was filed. He claims that they were surprised that Jane Doe walked away from what they had offered and decided to file the lawsuit “without warning.”

Davis stated that the settlement offer was made in an effort to resolve the matter privately. However, the plaintiff declined the offer, and the lawsuit was subsequently filed without warning. Sharpe has vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that the relationship was consensual and included role-playing scenarios. He has characterized the lawsuit as a shakedown and accused the plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, of targeting Black men, citing similar lawsuits involving celebrities like Sean Diddy Combs and Jay-Z .​

The lawsuit has garnered significant media attention, particularly after the release of audio recordings in which a voice, purportedly Sharpe's, is heard making threatening statements towards the plaintiff. Davis contends that the recordings were taken out of context and were part of consensual role-play between the two parties. He claims Sharpe's remarks "came during the heat of the moment and he did not mean what he said. He has also called for the release of the unedited recordings to provide full context .

Sharpe has continued his professional engagements amid the legal battle, including appearances on ESPN and at public events. His decision to maintain a public presence has sparked debate about accountability and the responsibilities of public figures facing serious allegations.

Super Bowl champion and popular podcast host Shannon Sharpe is facing a sexual assault lawsuit in Nevada. The lawsuit alleges that Sharpe used his fame to manipulate, control, subjugate and violate women.

The accuser, who was 19 at the time she met Mr Sharpe in 2023, says in a legal filing that the pair had a nearly two-year relationship, during which time Mr Sharpe was aggressive and allegedly raped her. Mr Sharpe has denied the allegations and said he is the target of a shakedown. The suit seeks more than $50 million (£37.6 million) in compensatory and punitive damages.

The accuser is the only person suing, and she does not provide details on her accusation that Mr Sharpe hurt more than herself. According to the suit, the woman met Mr Sharpe, currently aged 56, in a Los Angeles gym and had a rocky consensual relationship.

After many months of manipulating and controlling Plaintiff — a woman more than thirty years younger than he — and repeatedly threatening to brutally choke and violently slap her, Sharpe refused to accept the answer no and raped Plaintiff, despite her sobbing and repeated screams of no. the complaint alleges.

The woman alleges that Mr Sharpe raped her as recently as January. In addition, she alleges in the suit that Mr Sharpe insisted on recording some of the sexual encounters, sometimes without her consent or knowledge, and shared the videos with his  friends and associates.

Mr Sharpe has 4 million subscribers to his Club Shay Shay podcast, and is reportedly in negotiations on a $100m deal for his network of shows. This is a shakedown, he said in a video posted to Instagram late Tuesday, addressing the lawsuit. I'm going to be open, transparent and defend myself, because this isn't right.

In a sharp legal turn, the woman who accused Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter of raping her in 2000 has filed a motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit he launched against her. The filing comes just two months after she voluntarily withdrew her original complaint that had named both Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs in the alleged assault.

The woman, known as Jane Doe, initially made the claims in December 2024, alleging that the assault occurred at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty when she was 13. The case quickly drew national attention, prompting Jay-Z to file a counter-lawsuit in March 2025. His legal team, led by attorney Alex Spiro, accused Doe and her attorneys—Tony Buzbee and David Fortney—of malicious prosecution, civil conspiracy, abuse of process, and defamation.

On April 22, Doe responded by filing to dismiss the suit. Her motion argues that Jay-Z "fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted" and that his allegations don’t meet the legal threshold for defamation or conspiracy. "Carter has not alleged facts that would support an abuse of process claim," her attorneys wrote, also asserting that statements made in legal proceedings or court documents are "absolutely privileged" under California law.

Further undermining the conspiracy claims, the motion notes, “Since a conspiracy requires more than one party, Doe cannot be liable for civil conspiracy.” The legal team also emphasized that her media comments were rooted in claims from official filings, and thus, shielded from defamation liability.

Jay-Z’s complaint stated that the allegations were “knowingly false” and “strategically calculated” to damage his reputation and extort him. He claimed over $20 million in losses to his business, Roc Nation, along with reputational harm and emotional distress.

A crucial point in the case hinges on a recording cited by Spiro, allegedly featuring Doe stating, “Mr. Carter did not do this,” and accusing Buzbee of pressuring her to include Jay-Z in the original complaint. “The truth had to fully come out,” Spiro said on Good Morning America, calling the suit “a lie from the start.” Buzbee has publicly refuted this, calling the accusation “a blatant lie.”

Doe’s motion seeks dismissal with prejudice, preventing any refile. As the legal battle unfolds, the case continues to blur the line between public reckoning and legal consequence, raising pressing questions about justice, accountability, and the weaponization of lawsuits in high-profile conflicts.
