In Week 6 of Big Brother 28, Yash Patel wins the Head of Household for the first time and initially nominates Haley Thogmartin, Angela Murray, and Dee Valladares. Rick Devens uses the Diamond Power of Veto to save Dee, naming Kamu as the replacement nominee. The house then heads into the BB Blockbuster eviction, with Haley, Angela, and Kamu facing eviction as votes are counted.
Haley wins Week 5's Blockbuster, but the real shift comes with Chuk's eviction: a 9-1 vote in which Haley is the sole vote to keep him, signaling ongoing fractures in the Toolshed and prompting houseguests to reconsider targets as the season heads toward the jury phase.
Israeli forces in the West Bank village of Qusra ordered about a dozen Palestinian families to evacuate as settlers besieged several homes, with 11 other houses also told to leave. The army said the operation aimed to protect residents, while clashes and disruption were reported, and the IDF later said it dismantled two outposts and was in contact with local leadership.
During a 40°C heatwave in Rome, about 300 people—including around 100 children—remain camped on the pavement outside the seven‑storey Spin Time building after it was sealed for safety and deemed unfit for occupancy. Residents, who have lived there since 2013, are pressing the city and the involved fund to negotiate a sale and housing solution, while authorities say an interim arrangement is not possible. Volunteers, politicians and notable supporters, including Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi, have rallied to their cause, turning the sit-in into a high‑profile dispute over housing rights and eviction.
Lyric was evicted in Week 4 by an 8-3 vote, with only Chuk, Kamu, and Yash voting to keep her; Dee and Devens’ plan to influence the eviction was thwarted when Drew won the Blockbuster puzzle, rendering their strategy moot and preserving the Toolshed’s four-week dominance. Haley reacted with surprise to Lyric’s exit, while Lyric shared a hopeful farewell and highlighted her romance with Rome, including a wedding song from her father.
In Big Brother 28’s Week 3 eviction, Mallory won the Blockbuster and Jason faced a potential flip, but the house ultimately stuck with the status quo, sending Jason home by a 12-0 vote. The pre-eviction chatter about flipping with Melody’s group didn’t materialize, and the Toolshed alliance extended its power. Jason left emotionally, urged others to target the dominant faction, and later reflected on his weekly strong vote-getter status during his Q&A with Julie Chen Moonves.
World Series of Poker player Wendy Weissman rented her $1.9 million Hermosa Beach townhouse for 30 days to a French tenant who stayed 48 days, refused to leave, and leveraged California occupancy laws to become a tenant, risking thousands in lost rent and damages. Airbnb removed the guest after the dispute, police called it a civil matter, and a later water leak helped trigger action, underscoring the eviction hurdles and the host’s losses.
Big Brother 28 star Ashley Trail says her eviction was sparked by a misstep: she told Melody Morris’s side about Dee Valladares’ alliance’s plan to keep her, assuming the two sides were already implied. That disclosure caused Valladares’ group to back out and vote Trail out first, as she lacked enough votes without Melody, Lyric, or Mallory on her side. Trail says she should’ve played harder and acknowledges the rest of the cast didn’t take her gameplay seriously. She’s now watching the season and rooting for Angela Murray, though she believes Valladares or Rick Devens have the best shot at winning.
New York City saw more than 8,000 renter evictions through June 2026 (about 1,345 per month), underscoring a widening housing affordability crisis as rents rise. The city’s 2025 evictions reached 17,791—the highest since 2018—amid court backlogs and limited rental aid. Advocates call for expanded aid and faster emergency relief, while officials push broader housing vouchers (CityFHEPS) and greater access to legal counsel, though programs remain underused and lengthy proceedings persist. Eviction Lab data add context, showing roughly 112,000 eviction filings in the past year (~5% of renter households).
New York City’s affordable-housing rent collections remain well below pre-pandemic levels, with about 89% collected last year versus 95% previously, jeopardizing nonprofit-built buildings that run on tight margins; while some tenants may be deliberately withholding payments, many face ongoing financial strain as costs rise and wages lag. City officials are pushing to expand emergency rental aid and subsidies and are weighing rent-relief measures for extremely low-income and rent-stabilized units, including potential rent freezes, but relief is complicated by housing-court backlogs and the lingering aftereffects of pandemic-era policies.
Ken and Stacy Mattson must vacate their 50-acre Castle Road estate by June 15 as the LeFever Mattson bankruptcy estate takes control and begins liquidating assets; the eviction coincides with Ken Mattson's federal indictment for wire fraud and related charges, with prosecutors expecting him to plead guilty to a single count of fraud and face up to 12 years in prison. The property is valued around $6.85 million, and the ongoing liquidation aims to compensate investors, with interim distributions anticipated by late summer.

A Tulare County sheriff’s detective was killed after responding to an eviction-service call in Porterville when a gunman barricaded himself in a home and opened fire; the suspect, 59-year-old David Morales, remained barricaded as negotiators worked the scene, and three nearby schools were placed on lockdown as the deputy died at Sierra View Medical Center.
Mickey Rourke was evicted from his Los Angeles three‑bedroom home after a March 9, 2025 default judgment found him owing $59,100 in unpaid rent. The landlord accused the house of being rat‑infested and in disrepair (no running water, broken AC, rotting floors). Rourke had rejected a GoFundMe that raised about $100,000, calling it a scam, and argued the landlord hadn’t fixed the problems.
Actor Mickey Rourke was evicted from a Beverly Grove home in Los Angeles after falling behind on about $60,000 in rent. A GoFundMe to help him stay—over $100,000 raised—was rejected by Rourke, who called the fundraiser humiliating, and a judge ruled in favor of the landlord, ending the lease.
