A New York City Council member shared a leaked video on social media Sunday night that showed multiple students beating a police officer at Hillcrest High School. Councilwoman Vickie Paladino‚ a Republican‚ shared the video on X after a source in the city’s Department of Education gave her the video. The release of the video comes after the high school garnered national news headlines last week after a large group of extremists in the school forced a pro-Israel Jewish teacher to lock herself in her office as they rampaged through the halls searching for her. The New York Police Department (NYPD) was forced to send dozens police officers‚ including its counterterrorism bureau‚ to quell the uprising at the school. Paladino said that the incident happened the week before the anti-Semitic riot at the school. “The school administration tried to cover this up in the same way they tried to cover up the riot‚” she said. “It’s clear that the administration of Hillcrest is totally compromised and either unwilling or unable to do what’s necessary to provide a safe environment to their students or their faculty. Furthermore‚ they seem more than willing to cover up crimes committed by their students in service of a political narrative‚ and to prevent these criminal students from facing consequences.” She said that had someone not come turned the video over to her office that no one would know what happened and that at this point it’s unclear “what else they’re hiding.” “This cannot continue‚” she said. “Hillcrest High School must be shut down pending a full and thorough investigation‚ and the administration must be held accountable. Furthermore‚ the students who committed these acts must be arrested immediately and face appropriate criminal charges.” The NYPD said in a response to the post that the department was “aware of this incident.” “Violence in our schools will not be tolerated‚” the NPYD said. “The individuals responsible for assaulting the @NYPDSchools agents were taken into custody &; charged according to NYPD procedures. If further information is needed‚ please contact DCPI.” WATCH: An anonymous source within the DOE shared video with my office of students at Hillcrest High School brutally attacking a uniformed school safety officer.

A Vermont Christian school that pulled out of a basketball game over a trans-identifying male player is suing the state for barring it from state tournaments as well as a state tuition program. Mid Vermont Christian School in Hartford filed a federal lawsuit against the state in Burlington on Tuesday‚ alleging that the Vermont Agency of Education committed religious discrimination when it refused to designate the school as an approved independent school. “Mid Vermont Christian and its students are being irreparably harmed by being denied participation in the Town Tuitioning and Dual Enrollment Programs and middle school and high school athletics‚” the lawsuit states. “This civil rights action seeks to protect a Christian school and its students and parents from unconstitutional religious discrimination and hostility‚” the complaint reads. Back in February‚ Mid Vermont Christian forfeited a girls basketball playoff game‚ saying a trans-identifying male player on the opposing team jeopardized “the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.” The opposing team from Long Trail High School automatically won the game. The next month‚ the body that governs school sports‚ the executive council of the Vermont Principals’ Association‚ banned the Christian school from future tournaments. The council ruled the school had violated the council’s policies on race‚ gender and disability awareness. Meanwhile‚ the Vermont State Board of Education requires independent schools to provide the board with a nondiscrimination statement and post the statement on their websites. If the board does not approve a school‚ that school may not participate in the state’s town tuition program‚ which funds private school tuition for students in areas without a public school. “The State is entitled to its own views‚ but it is not entitled‚ nor is it constitutional‚ to force private‚ religious schools across the state to follow that orthodoxy as a condition to participating in Vermont’s tuitioning program and the State’s athletic association‚” the school’s lawsuit says. The school’s girls basketball coach‚ who has coached the team for the last 10 years‚ said he could not have imagined telling his daughter she could not play sports due to her religious views. GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS “No one‚ including our student athletes‚ should have opportunities taken away from them because of their religious beliefs‚” coach Chris Goodwin told Fox News. The lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). “Vermont has repeatedly discriminated against Christian schools and their families for following their religious beliefs‚” ADF senior counsel Ryan Tucker said. “Put simply‚ Mid Vermont Christian School believes that boys are boys and girls are girls. They have been punished for this belief. No school or parent should have to change their beliefs to participate in athletics or a state tuitioning program‚” Tucker said.

A coalition of religious leaders is pushing Congress to pass financial support for Israel’s war on Hamas as well as take steps to combat anti-Semitism. Fifteen leaders of religious organizations and institutions signed a letter sent to Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders on Monday urging legislators to step up support for Israel and the Jewish people. “We represent many faith traditions and have come together‚ in one united voice‚ to defend our shared humanity against barbarism and terror‚” the letter says. Israel declared war on Hamas after an October 7 attack by the terror group left over 1‚200 people dead and roughly 240 people taken captive‚ most of them Israeli civilians. The letter calls the massacre the “most significant massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.” The letter‚ expressing support for Israel’s war against the terrorists‚ is signed by religious leaders such as Faith &; Freedom Coalition chairman Ralph Reed and Israel365 director Rabbi Tuly Weisz. “As we’ve said many times‚ we support our Jewish brothers and sisters both here at home and abroad. As Christians and as human beings it is our duty to do so. The nation of Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East and the United States must stand by our ally‚” Aaron Gulbransen‚ executive director of the Tennessee Faith &; Freedom Coalition‚ told The Daily Wire in a statement. “Hamas must be defeated and state sponsors of terror like Iran ought to be neutered by the foreign policy of the United States‚” Gulbransen added. “Additionally‚ antisemitism has no place in our society and must be condemned at every turn. We are proud of our national leadership and allies that have presented this letter to the leadership of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.” The religious leaders call on Congress to “fund Israel’s defenses as soon as possible” and pass a series of bills that would aim to combat antisemitism‚ such as the Countering Hate Against Israel by Federal Contractors Act and Antisemitism Awareness Act. The letter also calls on the “Department of Justice‚ Department of Homeland Security‚ and other relevant agencies to take all necessary measures to prevent‚ prosecute‚ and punish antisemitic hate crimes in the United States.” GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS The faith leaders also call on the Biden administration to take stricter approach with Qatar‚ an Arab nation that has made inroads with the West while maintaining deep connections to the Middle East’s terror groups. “[F]orce Qatar to choose between remaining a major non-NATO ally of the United States or continuing its support for Hamas leadership and terrorism‚” the letter says. Qatar has close ties to Hamas and has granted the terror group’s leadership safe Haven in Doha‚ where Hamas’ main decision-making body meets.

Rock and roll singer Ozzy Osbourne recently gave an update about his health status‚ saying he’d like to perform in concert at least one more time. The 74-year-old British musician was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease‚ a progressive disorder which affects the nervous system‚ in 2003. He discussed his feelings about his public image during an interview with Rolling Stone UK. “I’m getting pissed off reading the papers‚ and they’re saying things like ‘Ozzy is fighting his last battle. He’s sung his last ‘Paranoid.’ You know‚ I don’t even think about Parkinson’s that much‚” Osbourne said. The interviewer noted how Osbourne demonstrated how his tremors were barely noticeable‚ even after all this time. “I said to [my wife] Sharon that I’d smoked a joint recently and she said‚ ‘What are you doing that for! It’ll f***-ing kill you!’” he continued. “I said‚ ‘How long do you want me to f***ing live for?!’ At best‚ I’ve got 10 years left and when you’re older‚ time picks up speed.” The “Crazy Train” singer also discussed the aftermath of his fourth back surgery‚ which he had in 2019. “It’s really knocked me about‚” he said. “The second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled. I thought I’d be up and running after the second and third‚ but with the last one they put a f***ing rod in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae‚ so they had to dig all that out too. It’s pretty rough‚ man‚ and my balance is all f***ed up.” Osbourne said despite his many health setbacks‚ his goal is to take the stage at least one more time. “I’m taking it one day at a time‚ and if I can perform again‚ I will‚” he said. “But it’s been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life. At the start of my illness‚ when I stopped touring‚ I was really pissed off with myself‚ the doctors‚ and the world. But as time has gone on‚ I’ve just gone‚ ‘Well‚ maybe I’ve just got to accept that fact.'” “I’m not going to get up there and do a half-hearted Ozzy looking for sympathy‚” he added. What’s the f***ing point in that? I’m not going up there in a f***ing wheelchair. I’ve seen Phil Collins perform recently‚ and he’s got virtually the same problems as me. He gets up there in a wheelchair! But I couldn’t do that.” The former lead vocalist of Black Sabbath said he wishes he could have said goodbye and thank you to his fans‚ calling that fact‚ “one of the things I’ve been the most f***ing pissed off at.” “If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis‚ I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say‚ ‘Hi guys‚ thanks so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m working towards‚ and if I drop down dead at the end of it‚ I’ll die a happy man‚” Osbourne told the outlet.

Asked about the extraordinarily high casualty numbers claimed by Hamas as Israel has conducted its war effort against the terrorist group. Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus asserted that the numbers given by Palestinian sources were exaggerated. “We will expose the Hamas lie of inflated civilian casualties in Gaza‚ just like we have dismantled all their other lies‚” he tweeted. “As every day goes by‚ we learn of additional Hamas combatant deaths. We will continue to fight Hamas while respecting humanitarian law.” Interviewed by Emily Schrader of ILTV News‚ Conricus declared‚ “I think those numbers issued by the Hamas-controlled entities in Gaza are‚ simply put‚ false. They are exaggerated numbers of women‚ children‚ and the elderly. The biggest age group‚ the part of the demographic of Gaza that you see heavily underrepresented in the Palestinian figures‚ are men at the age of 17-35‚ which is the combat age of men. They’re not there. And it doesn’t compute with the general population of Gaza; men are at least 49% or 50% of the population yet they are very little to be found in the list of casualties; that doesn’t compute.” “And I think what the Palestinians are trying to do‚ what Hamas is trying to do‚ is to inflate the amount of civilians killed and deflate and hide the amount of combatants killed‚” he contended. “Not the first time Hamas has tried to do this.” Hamas has been accused of lying about civilian deaths for nearly a decade. “What we are busy doing is fact-checking and referencing dead terrorists that we are aware of and then comparing that to the list of names and numbers that Hamas has given out; finding the discrepancies and then we will be showing that to the world and again exposing another lie: of how Hamas manipulates information; how they like and try to deceive‚” Conricus explained. Conricus criticized the leaders and organizations globally who accepted the word of the terrorist group‚ saying‚ “The sad thing is that so many organizations and even decision-makers around the world take these numbers at face value as if they are true without putting them into proper context of these are numbers and figures that have been disseminated by a terror organization. These are people that lie and deceive and kill and murder for a living‚ and they don’t have any issues about it. So why trust the data that they give? I think it’s very sad that UN institutions‚ international governments around the world are taking it at face value; that needs to change and there needs to be a lot of skepticism regarding anything that is handed out by Hamas in Gaza.” Asked if the data the IDF had gathered had given them an estimate of the civilian to combatant ratio among those killed in Gaza‚ Conricus answered‚ “When you look at other conflicts in urban terrain of the last decades‚ usually the ration is 1 to 10; 90% of casualties in urban terrain‚ sadly‚ are civilians. I think that the ratio here is different‚ and our preliminary analyses speak of thousands‚ three and more‚ thousands of dead Hamas combatants; many of them are still underground in the bunkers where they were hiding. We are talking about thousands of dead enemy combatants as opposed to the civilians that have been killed in the fighting.” “I want to emphasize we try our best not to kill civilians; we give early warnings; we have them move out of the combat area‚” he noted. “We even do roof knocking and we give warning shots and wherever feasible‚ we try to minimize what we call collateral damage‚ but basically‚ in plain language‚ killing civilians. That’s not what we’re after. We’re after Hamas. The sad situation is that Hamas uses women and children‚ schools‚ hospitals‚ mosques‚ in order to hide behind. That is why there are civilian casualties. We will continue to fight according to humanitarian law; we will continue to restrict our forces and fight only against the enemy.” He concluded‚ “Against the enemy we will continue to fight very hard. That shouldn’t be confused. We will be very forceful against the enemy but we will focus our combat capabilities on the enemy alone.” We will expose the Hamas lie of inflated civilian casualties in Gaza‚ just like we have dismantled all their other lies. As every day goes by‚ we learn of additional Hamas combatant deaths. We will continue to fight Hamas while respecting humanitarian law.

Pop star Katy Perry has received some negative attention (not enough) for her disturbing battle with elderly nuns over a property‚ a former convent‚ in Los Angeles. But Perry’s suspect actions don’t come close to ending there. Here’s a list of five jarring moves from the sometimes-malfunctioning 39-year-old “Teenage Dream” singer: ‘Blood On Her Hands’  Perry in 2015 tried to buy a property in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that was previously bought and used as a convent and public place of prayer by some 50 nuns known as the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to sell the property to the singer without the remaining living nuns’ consent. The nuns‚ in fact‚ felt very strongly that they did not want Perry to acquire the property after looking her up online‚ specifically referencing a video where the entertainer quips about selling her soul to the devil for fame.  “In selling to Katy Perry‚ we feel we are being forced to violate our canonical vows to the Catholic Church‚” Sister Catherine Rose Holzman said in 2015. Sister Rita Callanan also commented publicly‚ “I thought‚ is that a way to make money?”  Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg via Getty Images Perry attempted to win over the nuns through a personal meeting where she sang gospel music and showed the sisters a tattoo on her wrist that says “Jesus.” They were not won over‚ and quickly moved to sell to another person‚ Dana Hollister‚ whom they did feel comfortable buying the property‚ in part because Hollister would turn the convent into a hotel‚ which the public could still have access to.  In response‚ the archdiocese sued the two nuns‚ arguing that Perry deserves the property. And Perry sued Hollister for interfering with her purchase. A judge decided against the sisters and Hollister‚ who was being targeted for even further punitive damages from the ordeal.  The nuns begged Perry to stop going after them and Hollister‚ but Perry did not relent. Hollister‚ shortly after‚ had to declare bankruptcy‚ and the two nuns accompanied her in court to show their support. Outside the courtroom‚ Sister Rose pleaded‚ “Katy Perry‚ please stop. It’s not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people.” Hours later‚ the sister collapsed and died inside the courtroom. Sister Callanan said publicly that Perry “has blood on her hands.”  The court outcome said Perry could have the property after Vatican approval. It’s still unclear if she’s received such approval. Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg via Getty Images ‘I Was Uncomfortable Immediately’  In 2018‚ Perry kissed a young man without his consent on live television – an action that would have set the media on fire had the genders in this situation been reversed. Perry was acting as a judge on “American Idol” when a 19-year-old contestant named Benjamin Glaze was talking about his job as a cashier. Fellow judge Luke Bryan jokingly asked Glaze if he had ever “kissed a girl and liked it” – a reference to one of Perry’s hit songs. Perry then had Glaze kiss her on the cheek. She asked him for another peck‚ but tricked him by turning her head so the boy was locking lips with the pop singer.  “Would I have done it if she (Perry) said‚ ‘Would you kiss me?’ No‚ I would have said no‚” Glaze admitted to The New York Times in the aftermath of the incident. “I know a lot of guys would be like‚ ‘Heck yeah!’ But for me‚ I was raised in a conservative family and I was uncomfortable immediately. I wanted my first kiss to be special.”  Glaze was so shaken up by the experience he spoke to his friends about it‚ and they reassured him that it was technically not his first kiss‚ since it wasn’t romantic. “It was lip contact versus a romantic situation with someone you care about‚” Glaze said. “That’s what a real first kiss is.” Mark Levine/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Mom-Shaming Bully Earlier this year‚ Perry made waves for bullying and mom-shaming “American Idol” contestant Sara Beth Liebe. Before her audition‚ Liebe revealed that she had borne three children by the time she was 25-years-old. That prompted Perry to pretend she was going to faint. Liebe commented‚ “If Katy lays on the table‚ I think I’m going to pass out‚” to which Perry replied‚ “Honey‚ you been laying on the table too much.”  The awkward moment clearly made Liebe uncomfortable‚ but for good measure‚ Perry closed by telling the young mother‚ “Look‚ if it’s not your dream‚ you’re not gonna go far.” The comment was taken by some as a scolding from Perry because Liebe prioritized motherhood at a young age. As for Liebe‚ she addressed Perry’s remarks online: “I don’t really have too much to say on my feelings about it because I feel like it’s probably pretty self-explanatory‚” she said. “I mean‚ it was embarrassing to have that on TV and it was hurtful and you know‚ that’s that. But I did want to take this opportunity to just say that I think that women supporting and uplifting other women is so cool and I think that mom-shaming is super lame and I think that it’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman. And I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that I see all of the young moms and just moms in general who have commented on all of the videos and posts and everything and I just wanted to say that I see you and I hear you and I am grateful for you and you’re worthy and keep loving your babies.” “Nobody deserves to feel crappy about that‚” she declared. “Like I mean‚ bottom line‚ I don’t think there’s anything really more to it. And I think if you’re a good mama and you love your babies that’s all that really matters and other comments just don’t feel necessary and that’s all I have to say on the matter.” Eric McCandless/ABC via Getty Images Target: Elderly Vet With A Brain Disease  Perry’s real estate woes did not stop at her years-long battle with aging nuns. The pop singer is now entangled in more drama‚ this time with an elderly veteran named Carl Westcott‚ the founder of 1-800-Flowers‚ who says he never meant to sell Perry and her husband‚ actor Orlando Bloom‚ his $15 million Santa Barbara estate. Westcott‚ an 83-year-old battling Huntington’s disease‚ reportedly said he signed sale documents in July 2020 when he was under the influence of painkillers after having major back surgery‚ The Daily Wire’s Amanda Harding recently reported. Westcott tried to back out of the sale days later when he said the influence of the painkillers wore off‚ but Perry and Bloom refused his request and threatened to sue if he did not go through with the sale.  A representative for Perry and Bloom sent a letter following Westcott’s request to rescind the documents‚ saying he was legally obligated to complete the sale of the home. Westcott claims he never listed the home for sale and never asked a real estate professional to help sell it. He said he purchased the 9‚285 square-foot‚ eight-bedroom‚ 11-bathroom home in May 2020‚ just two months before selling it to Perry and Bloom. Westcott further stated he had purchased with the intention of staying there “for the rest of his life.” The plaintiff had back surgery in July 2020 and three days later signed the sale paperwork. Westcott was allegedly presented with a written offer from Perry and Bloom for more money than he paid for the property in May. “Upon discharge from the hospital‚ Mr. Westcott was prescribed at least two opiates in pill form that he was to continue taking for pain‚ which he took as prescribed several times each day‚” the complaint states. “’The combination of his age‚ frailty from his back condition and recent surgery‚ and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind.” The veteran’s lawyers argue he was “unable to understand the nature and probable consequences of his actions” due to being on pain medication. They say their client is “in the final years of his life and cannot sell his home.” Westcott will not attend the trial because he is mentally incapacitated and bedridden‚ leaving his family to fight the celebrity couple over who should be the rightful owners of the estate. A nonjury trial is scheduled for August 21‚ 2023‚ per USA Today.  The current status of the home’s occupants‚ if any‚ remains unclear. Phillip Faraone/Getty Images ‘I Sold My Soul To The Devil’  More than a decade ago‚ Katy Perry talked to Australian model and actress Ruby Rose about her transformation from gospel music to secular pop music. Perry noted that she grew up in a Christian church and wanted to dominate the Christian music industry‚ but the label she was working with went bust. That’s apparently when she made her switch over to secular music. “I swear‚ I wanted to be the Amy Grant of Music‚ but it didn’t work out‚ and‚ so‚ I sold my soul to the devil‚” Perry says during the interview. The joke‚ or the metaphor for her transformation‚ has been criticized online‚ particularly by Christians. Perry‚ of course‚ is not the only Hollywood celebrity to engage in suspect actions‚ but she has routinely evaded a “cancellation.” Others‚ who don’t hold Perry’s views‚ would surely not have the same fate.

Hamas official Hisham Qasem spouted a new propaganda talking point for the terrorist group this week‚ claiming that Hamas terrorists had kidnapped Thai nationals “for their own protection” during their October 7 attack on Israel. Qasem’s remarks come after Hamas terrorists murdered 39 Thai nationals during their attack and took an unknown number hostage. Qasem falsely claimed that the hostages were only “detainees” and that Israel was “shelling” houses located in the kibbutzes. “[Turkey and Hamas] discussed the release of some of the [Thai] detainees‚” he said. “As we said at the beginning of the October 7 operation‚ these [Thai nationals] were detained for their own protection‚ because on October 7‚ the forces of the Zionist army was shelling the houses with people inside – whether members of the Al-Qassam Brigades‚ [foreign] laborers‚ or even the Zionist inhabitants of those settlements.” The Associated Press reported last week that Hamas freed 10 Thai nationals as part of a temporary ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel as Israel seeks to gain the release of as many innocent civilians as possible. “Thais were the single biggest group of foreigners taken hostage when Hamas took some 240 people during its Oct. 7 surprise attack on southern Israel‚” the AP said. “Thais working in Israel are mostly employed as semi-skilled farm laborers‚ at wages considerably higher than those at they can earn at home.” Four of the Thai nationals who were released were not known by officials to have been taken hostage by Hamas — and officials believe at least 20 more Thai nationals remain hostage.

Disney acknowledged risks due to a “misalignment” between the company’s products and the public that are hurting its bottom line in recent filings with the government. Disney filed its annual SEC report for the year ending on September 30 last week. George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley pointed out the report in a column with The Hill on Saturday. “We face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment‚ travel and consumer products‚ which impact demand for our entertainment offerings and products and the profitability of any of our businesses‚” the SEC filing states. Disney says that the “success of our businesses depends on our ability to consistently create compelling content.” One of the chief hurdles it faces is “consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways‚” the filing says. “Generally‚ our revenues and profitability are adversely impacted when our entertainment offerings and products‚ as well as our methods to make our offerings and products available to consumers‚ do not achieve sufficient consumer acceptance. Further‚ consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest‚ including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals‚ often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands‚” the filing says. The SEC report shows that “Disney appears concerned that [the] ‘invisible hand’ of Adam Smith is effectively giving the ‘House of Mouse’ the middle finger‚” according to Turley. The filing comes after Disney postponed the release of its remake of the classic children’s fairy tale “Snow White” following public backlash to a characterization of the film by its lead actress‚ Rachel Zegler. A photo release of the seven dwarves for the live-action remake drew skepticism‚ as well. “She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love‚” Zegler said of the film earlier this year. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless‚ fair‚ brave and true.” Turley notes that Disney has gone through a rough series of releases. “Disney has reportedly lost a billion dollars just on four of its recent ‘woke’ movie flops‚ productions denounced by critics as pushing political agendas or storylines. Yet until now‚ the company has continued to roll out underperforming movies as revenue has dropped‚” Turley said. GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS “For shareholders‚ it may seem counterintuitive that corporate executives would trade off profits for political or social agendas. However‚ it does serve as a rationale for individual corporate executives who are professionally advanced when they champion such causes‚” the law professor continued.

An adult male guest at Disneyland was arrested on Sunday after he stripped down fully naked and caused havoc in the California park during the Thanksgiving holiday — boarding a boat on the “It’s A Small World” ride before he was apprehended and removed from the property. Anaheim Police Department spokesperson Jonathan McClintock told People magazine that officers “responded to Disneyland to assist Disney security with a guest who removed his clothes and was naked in or near the ‘It’s a Small World’ attraction.” “Upon officers’ arrival‚ they arrested a 26-year-old man for indecent exposure and for being under the influence of a controlled substance‚” McClintock added‚ noting that the guest was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.

Various clips later surfaced on social media of the fully naked man. In one video he’s seen walking around in the water near the attraction. In another video‚ he had on what appeared to be a pair of shorts and was off the ride touching the animatronics as a women’s voice — fellow guest Maegan Carmona — could be overheard pleading with him to stop. “We noticed he started climbing onto the different parts of the ride‚ and we noticed that he was undressed‚” Carmona told Entertainment Weekly. “He just looked out of it‚” she added.  “He just didn’t look like he knew where he was. He looked worried.
