Sports Illustrated model stalked with Apple AirTag

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Supermodel Brooks Nader says she was stalked by a stranger using an AirTag, who followed her around New York City for five hours. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 26-year-old said she only realised she was being tracked when her iPhone alerted her to the fact that an “unknown accessory” was moving with her through the city.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The AirTag, which was first released in April 2020, is a coin-shaped device that acts as a key tracker, with users connecting the small device to their smartphone to track lost items. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the AirTag’s innovative technology, there have been numerous reports that the $45 device has been used by stalkers and thieves, to track people and their belongings without their knowing. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brooks Nader appears to be the latest victim of this tracking, as she shared her terrifying ordeal with her online following of 827,000 people. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This ‘device’ followed me for the last five hours to every location and (it belonged to) no one in my ‘network.’ It also wasn’t a phone or tablet, it was an ‘item,’” she explained.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The model subsequently shared a screenshot of an AirTag via Instagram Stories: “@Apple, did you take into consideration the danger and potentially fatal consequences this device has?”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She added, “For those asking, it’s not my AirTag, it’s someone randoms, who must have slipped it into my belongings while out. Thank you all for checking in and sending helpful articles. I want this to be a PSA to all my ladies to please please check your belongings.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Apple, they have introduced a system to prevent stalking by notifying people if their smartphone detects an unregistered AirTag in their vicinity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“AirTag is designed to discourage unwanted tracking,” the tech company states on its website. “If someone else’s AirTag finds its way into your stuff, your iPhone will notice it’s travelling with you and send you an alert.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The alert is what tipped Nader off to the fact an AirTag was in her coat pocket.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A spokesperson for Apple told </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/07/sports-illustrated-model-is-latest-victim-of-airtag-stalker/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New York Post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “We take customer safety very seriously and are committed to AirTag’s privacy and security. AirTag is designed with a set of proactive features to discourage unwanted tracking – a first in the industry – and the Find My network includes a smart, tunable system with deterrents that applies to AirTag, as well as third-party products as part of the Find My Network accessory program.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Due to the safety concerns of AirTags, several Aussie retailers including Big W, JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks have banned the sale of the devices. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image credits: Instagram @brooksnader</span></em></p>

Brooke Shields reveals pickup line Donald Trump used on her

<p>Donald Trump may hold the most powerful office in the world, but when it comes to his interactions with women, the US President doesn’t exactly have the best track record. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Don once asked ‘80s it girl Brooke Shields on a date – but was promptly turned down.</p> <p>Speaking on the E! talk show <em>Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen</em> on Tuesday, when pictures emerged of the two together, the actress was asked if Trump had hit on her. Shields replied, “No, but he did ask me out later.”</p> <p>“I didn’t go out [with him], he called me,” the 52-year-old actress and model clarified. “I was on location doing a movie, and he called me right after he had gotten a divorce [from Marla Maples] and said, ‘I really think we should date because you’re America’s Sweetheart and I’m America’s richest man and the people would love it.”</p> <p>Cringing as she recalled the awkward moment, Shields shut the future president down, saying, “I have a boyfriend and he’s not going to be happy about it.”</p> <p>The revelation comes just one week after an unearthed interview showed Trump making a number of disgraceful jokes and comments about Princess Diana, even after her death. <a href="/news/news/2017/09/donald-trumps-appalling-joke-about-princess-diana/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Click here</strong></span></a> to read more.</p>

Gene Wilder passes away age 83

<p>The world has lost another irreplaceable icon with confirmation that legendary actor Gene Wilder has sadly passed away at age 83.</p> <p>Wilder, perhaps best-known for his role in the 1971 film <em>Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</em>, passed on Monday at his home in Stamford, Connecticut. Confirmation of his passing came from the actor’s nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman, who said the passing was due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease in a statement to <a href="http://www.variety.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Variety</strong></span></a>.</p> <p>Walker-Pearlman wrote, “We understand for all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones — this illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognise those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality.</p> <p>“The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn’t vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him ‘there’s Willy Wonka,’ would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion. He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world.”</p> <p>Tributes have started to flow in for the two-time Oscar-nominee who started in classics like <em>The Producers</em>,<em> Blazing Saddles</em> and <em>Young Frankenstein</em>.</p> <p>Our thoughts are with his family at what must be a difficult time.</p> <p>Share your favourite Gene Wilder moment in the comments below.</p> <p><em>Video credit: YouTube / beralts</em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/entertainment/art/2016/08/make-up-artist-can-transform-herself-into-anyone/"><strong>Make-up artist can transform herself into anyone</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/entertainment/books/2016/07/5-authors-who-hated-the-film-adaptation-of-their-book/"><strong>5 authors who hated the film adaptation of their book</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/entertainment/books/2016/04/best-childrens-books/"><strong>5 all-time best children’s books</strong></a></em></span></p>
