Nicole Byer is many things: an actor, an author, a comic, a podcaster, a historic Emmy winner, and an expert judge of amateur baking, just to name a few. Now, she’s adding another accomplishment to the list: swimwear designer. Launching on July 18, the Nicole Byer x Kitty and Vibe collaboration consists of 12 pieces in three different prints (or “vibes,” in KV parlance).

Porn isn’t exactly known for its complex plotlines, but one adult film has spawned a whole manner of twists and turns. We’re referring to the now infamous collaboration between podcaster Lena the Plug and blue movie star Jason Luv. At the end of June, the pair teamed up for a wildly explicit sex scene with the blessing of Lena’s huband Adam22. However, three weeks on from the steamy encounter, Adam22 posted a diatribe against Louisiana-born Luv, telling him he was “officially blacklisted from smashing [his] wife again”. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter So what’s gone down between the three of them? And how did this ridiculous situation all come about? Here’s everything you need to know (and a lot that you probably don’t) about porn’s latest big fallout. How did this all begin? In a recent episode of his ‘No Jumper’ podcast, Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison) and Lena (full name Lena Nersesian) revealed how the seeds of the scene were planted at the very start of the year. Adam22 explained that they were in Las Vegas back in January when they bumped into Luv. Addressing his wife, the YouTuber recalled: “I said, ‘Who's the hottest girl here?’ And then [Luv] put his arm around you and walked away with you.” He then noted that the clip racked up nine million views and saw Lena flooded with requests to film a scene with the porn legend. So, just before their wedding in May, Lena said she messaged Luv and told him: “Hey, I'm going to get married and [go] on my honeymoon, but when I come back we should shoot’. “And he was like, ‘OK’.” However, it wasn’t until June, when they all ended up in Las Vegas again, that they finally got down to business. Lena said she and her hubby were having breakfast one morning when she pointed out that Luv was in town. “I was like, ‘I think I'm going to shoot with Jason tomorrow,’ and you were like, ‘OK’, and I walked away,” she recollected. “I went to wash the dishes or something, and then I come back and you're just like, ‘No facial, no kissing,’ – that was the extent of the conversation. “And then I left the next day to do it. And you barely said bye to me because you were playing poker.” Why was it a big deal? Adam22 and Lena are known for their ‘Plug Talk’ show, which sees them interview a female porn actor, then have sex with her at the end of the episode. But this was the first time she’d had sex with another man since the start of her relationship with the YouTuber seven years ago. During their ‘No Jumper’ chat, the couple estimated that they’d had around 200 threesomes together over the years – almost 100 for ‘Plug Talk’, plus “a bunch in our private life, plus a bunch for [Lena’s] OnlyFans”. However, her tryst with Luv was her “debut scene with another man”, they said. What was the response to the sex scene? According to Lena, she’d received “a lot of positive reaction”, while Adam22 had been subjected to a lot of “hate”. "He can handle it, he's a big boy,” she told TMZ in the immediate aftermath, before stressing: "There's way weirder sexual things out there than what we currently have going on." The content creator then defended her fella against taunts that he was a “simp” for allowing his wife to sleep with another man. "I've had 200 threesomes with him and women. Is that a simp?” she asked. "Someone who's been given all of this sexual experience and I get one guy and it's like a big deal?" In a separate interview for Adin Ross' YouTube channel she admitted that she found her experience with Luv "interesting and fun." Asked if she would “choose Jason over [her] husband”, she replied: "I have had sex with one person for seven years, and although Adam is very exciting to me sexually, a new experience is always going to be a little more interesting and different. "Adam could attest to that,” she continued. “A lot of the threesomes we have are probably a lot more fun than him just f**king me on a regular night." Still, she stressed, she was happy with her lot. Telling Ross: “I had fun with Jason, but I still have a lot of fun with my partner and I don't prefer Jason's d**k over Adam's." How did Adam22 feel once the scene was done? “I felt a little jealous at first,” he admitted in a tweet a week after the collaboration. “But overall it wasn’t that big a deal. “She’s watched me sleep with hundreds of girls and it’s never affected our relationship,” he continued. “Sleeping with that gentleman has been amazing for both her career and our business [‘Plug Talk’]. Overall I’m glad we did it.” He later proved that he fully embraced the whole thing by lavishing his wife with an extravagant gift. The self-styled hip-hop expert posted a video to social media showing Lena standing with her eyes closed next to a green Lamborghini. Addressing the camera, he then announced: “OK, Lena, I’m so proud of you doing your first ever BBC scene that I decided that I wanted to get you a little something nice.” She then opened her eyes and shrieked: “What? This? For me? Babe!” before embracing her husband. (For the avoidance of doubt, “BBC” does not refer to the British Broadcasting Corporation here but to a very explicit slang term that we most certainly don’t endorse.) @adam22 Got my baby something nice to celebrare her new scene! Love you boo ❤️ @Lena The Plug What has Luv had to say about it all? In an interview for the X-rated YouTube show ‘The Fan Bus’, Luv was initially full of praise for Adam22 and Lena, saying he felt “honoured that they think so highly of me that they would want me to be the first male she shoots with after so long”. He bragged that he hit the podcaster with “all the best moves” during their scene, adding that he “was catching cramps in places I didn't even know I could catch a cramp”. Luv admitted that the mum-of-one was “mad nervous” in the run-up to the big moment, telling his host that she was “shaking” and “giggly” and told him: “I feel like I'm cheating on my husband.” He said he reassured her that she wasn’t cheating – that she had “permission” – and helped her to “calm down”. The 38-year-old then acknowledged that there’d been some discussion of a threesome between Adam22, Lena and him, and confirmed that he was on board with the idea. “[It’s my job to make money,” he said. However, any hopes he harboured for a “round two” with the couple were swiftly, and categorically dashed, thanks to his next comments. Asked, in the most direct way possible: “Do you think that you f**ked [Lena] better than Adam did?” he replied: “Well, obviously, yes.” But, he acknowledged: “I'm pretty sure [it] probably feels different with Adam, for her, because love is involved – emotions – but as for the physical aspect of getting fucked, obviously.” The interviewer then asked Luv if he still thought he’d be a better lover to her during a threesome involving Adam22, to which he responded: “100 per cent. “It would be like [...] about. And obviously I'm the stronger fighter, so I'm away.” How did that go down with Adam22? Perhaps unsurprisingly, he didn’t take too kindly to Luv’s assessment. Positively seething with rage in a video uploaded to Twitter on Monday night, he said: “Hey, Jason Luv, I trusted you to p**k my wife and it seems like that clout is getting to your head. I'm talking real, real spicy and I ain't really feeling it.” Defending his own honour, he chose to make two key points, the first being that “the angle of the dangle is more important than the cubit of the pubic.” “Number two,” he continued: “My D game, when I'm serving it, man, it's just like your mum's home cooking because there's a special ingredient – it's called love. You ever heard of it?” He then moved onto an ominous third point, threatening Luv: “Don't make me expose you, and you know what I'm talking about – it could get real, real messy out here.” Wrapping up his tirade, he warned: “You don't want problems moving around in these LA streets cause I can make that happen. I'm very, very well connected.” He then concluded with his final point, telling the porn star: “You are officially blacklisted from smashing my wife again.” What happens next? So far, there’s been silence from the Luv camp in response to Adam22’s threats. But everyone wants to know the secrets the ‘No Jumper’ host claims he could easily “expose”. All we can say at this stage is that a threesome is definitely off the cards. And, clearly, there’s no luv lost between them all now. Have your say in our news democracy.

Former Manchester United winger and Wales boss Ryan Giggs is hoping to revive his career in the game after being cleared of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend. Giggs, who left the Wales job in the run-up to the last World Cup while facing trial, has “unfinished business” in football, a source close to the former player said. The 49-year-old was said to be “relieved” at being found not guilty of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville after prosecutors offered no evidence and withdrew the prosecution on Tuesday at Manchester Crown Court. A source said: “His intention is to resume his managerial and coaching career. He’s got unfinished business in the game. He’s been found not guilty and wants to get back into the game. He’s football through and through “The last three years his life has been put on hold, but he’s a huge football man. “He’s been found not guilty and wants to get back into the game. He’s football through and through.” Greville told police and lawyers she did not want to go through the ordeal of a second trial after jurors failed to reach verdicts in the high-profile first trial last year, the court heard. Lawyers said there was no longer any realistic prospect of conviction and it was not in the public interest for Giggs to go on trial for a second time over allegations made by Ms Greville and her sister Emma. Peter Wright KC, prosecuting, offered no evidence against Giggs, who was not present for the 20-minute hearing as the allegations were formally dropped. Judge Hilary Manley entered “not guilty” verdicts on the charges of coercive and controlling behaviour and assault against Kate Greville and common assault of her sister. Giggs had been accused of controlling behaviour over a three-year period involving Greville. He was also accused of assault by “losing control” and headbutting Kate Greville and the common assault of Emma Greville by elbowing her in the jaw, during a row at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on November 1 2020. Giggs denied the offences and underwent a month-long trial, ending last August when the jury failed to reach any verdicts, and a retrial was scheduled to begin on July 31. But on Tuesday, Wright told Manchester Crown Court that the case had been considered at the highest levels at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and a decision had been made not to proceed with a second trial. Wright said Giggs’ ex-girlfriend Kate Greville had “indicated an unwillingness” to give evidence in a retrial as giving evidence in the first trial had “taken its toll” on her and her sister Emma. Wright said: “This is not a decision taken lightly.” Chris Daw KC, defending Giggs, said: “Mr Giggs is deeply relieved the prosecution has finally come to an end after almost three years in which he’s been fighting throughout to clear his name. “He has always been innocent of these charges – there’s been very, very many lies told about him in court.” At a series of hearings earlier this year, the court was told of difficulties the prosecution had faced in proceeding with the retrial. These included Kate Greville’s reluctance to now go through with a second trial. Earlier this month, Wright, at a court hearing which could not be reported at the time, said: “What she (Greville) has indicated is a wish not to give evidence by reason of her own mental and physical wellbeing, so seriously affected by the process. “You may recollect at the previous trial for example she gave evidence over a considerable period of time, cross-examined for what was three days, and during the course of that process she was both visibly distressed, weary, and expressed the view that she had felt violated by the defendant’s conduct and in giving evidence while maintaining her account, demonstrating a growing frustration in terms of the process.” Wright added: “What is underlying this is the further general principal consideration of the prosecution of the alleged abusive men so far as coercive and controlling behaviour is considered, the wearing down of complainants, is not to be interpreted by the public and by men as a passport to an acquittal – is that underlying question of considerable public interest that we are continuing with.” But Daw, defending Giggs, told the hearing: “As it stands, the prosecution has no case. “The position we submit is: what matters is the interests of justice. “What we have here is an attempt to cobble together a case built on hearsay and an unwilling witness almost three years after the event. “This is not about the public interest.” A spokeswoman for the CPS said: “It is not the function of the CPS to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make fair, independent and objective assessments about whether it is appropriate to present charges for the criminal court to consider.” During Giggs’ time at Old Trafford, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups. Giggs stood down as Wales manager following a period of leave since November 2020. He won 64 caps for Wales and is co-owner of Sky Bet League Two side Salford.

Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans has signed a short-term deal with Manchester United and will be in the squad for their upcoming pre-season fixtures. Evans, 35, came through the ranks at United after joining as a youngster, and had been training with the club in recent days while considering his options after leaving relegated Leicester. Speculation had linked the veteran centre-half with Everton, but Evans has now signed a deal which will allow him to take part in United’s pre-season friendly against Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday before heading to San Diego with United’s academy while the first-team squad are in New York. Evans, capped 102 times by Northern Ireland, made 198 appearances for United before leaving for West Brom in 2015. During his Old Trafford career, Evans won the Champions League, Club World Cup, three Premier League titles and two League Cups. United have also revealed that Tyrell Malacia and Rhys Bennett have been ruled out of the Lyon match and the United States trip through injury.
