James Blunt Denies Online Links to Hayden Panettiere Yacht Allegations

James Blunt pushed back on online speculation that he’s the unnamed British singer Panettiere described on a yacht when she was 18. The singer shared a Dean Piper Substack post on X amid the chatter; Panettiere did not name him in her memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning, and columnist Piper argued the timeline doesn’t fit Blunt’s, noting Panettiere was 18 at the time and photographed with Blunt in Cannes in 2009. Panettiere had spoken about the yacht incident before, choosing not to identify people, and Blunt’s post signals he’s not engaging with the rumors.

"Multiple Arrests Made in Connection with Jan. 6 Capitol Riot"

The FBI has arrested Andy Steven Oliva-Lopez, a Jan. 6 rioter known as "Blue Plaid Sprayer," who was featured in a Biden campaign ad for assaulting law enforcement officers with chemical spray during the Capitol attack.
