Little girl’s complaints of hearing ‘monsters’ in her bedroom wall leads to horrifying discovery

A father’s life was upended after a DNA test confirmed his suspicions that his daughter, who was “too pretty,” was not his own.

A man in Vietnam, whose identity remains unknown, expressed doubts about his biological paternity due to his children’s physical differences from both himself and his wife, The Mirror reported.

The father relocated to Ho Chi Minh City with his wife, Hong, and their young daughter, Lan, several years ago.

As Lan grew up, the man began to question her striking looks. As he was unable to dismiss these doubts, he decided to take a DNA test which ultimately revealed that his daughter was not his biological child.

The revelation left him deeply unsettled and withdrawn, leading to reported alcohol abuse as he struggled to cope with the heartbreaking truth.

The distressed man eventually confronted his wife about the results and she vehemently denied that she’d ever been unfaithful to him and ended up moving out of the family home with their daughter.

According to The Mirror, Vietnamese media outlet Docnhanh reported that Yan enrolled in a new school and found out that she shared a birthday with a classmate. She also discovered that they were both born in the same hospital.

The pair became really good friends and even invited each other to their birthday parties, where their parents met for the first time.

The classmate’s mother was equally astonished by the resemblance between her daughter and the new friend, prompting her to undergo a DNA test of her own.

It was subsequently discovered that a mix-up had occurred at birth, resulting in the two girls being raised by the wrong families.

The families have since formed a close bond and have agreed to reveal the truth to their children at an appropriate time.

According to The Mirror, many readers were left stunned by the story and shared their reactions on Docnhanh’s website.

“The medical staff made a ridiculous mistake. Fortunately, the truth finally came out. Otherwise, even jumping into the Yellow River could not clear the wife’s name,” one person penned.

Another reader added: “It tells us that if it is not necessary, do not randomly test DNA, as it can just cause yourself unnecessary trouble.” It has not been shared whether the families will take legal action against the hospital.”

At this time, it remains unclear whether the families plan to pursue legal action against the hospital.

A woman has opened up about the reason she got rejected from a job interview after asking the recruiter what the decision was based on.

Jobhunting can be a bit of a minefield, from finding the perfect opening to making sure you stand out among the often hundreds of other applicants.

So you’d hope by the time you got to interview, you’d have a pretty good shot of getting the job, right?

Well, one woman has revealed the reason she fell at the final hurdle after recent job interview.

Her experience, shared by workplace commentator Ben Askins on his TikTok account, has sparked a heated debate on the propriety of salary discussions during job interviews.

Katherine, after a seemingly successful interview, was shocked to learn she didn’t get the job. According to the recruiter’s message, the reason was her “financially oriented” questions.

“Yeah, they said they absolutely loved meeting you, but your questions were too financially orientated,” the recruiter explained, leaving Katherine bewildered and frustrated.

When she asked “what on earth” that was supposed to mean, the recruiter replied: “Apparently you asked about money a lot?”

She defended her inquiries, emphasizing they were minimal and mostly focused on the benefits package included with the position. However, the feedback was clear: the company felt she seemed more interested in the salary than the role itself.

Askins, known for his critical takes on toxic workplace cultures, lambasted the company’s stance.

He argued that it’s perfectly reasonable for candidates to inquire about compensation.

“It is a job interview, of course, people are going to be interested in the price and package that comes with it. That is the sole reason the person is in that room,” he stated emphatically.

Askins’ sentiment resonated with many online, sparking a flurry of support for Katherine’s straightforward approach.

However, not everyone agrees that discussing finances during an interview is appropriate. Some argue that it’s better to focus on the job’s responsibilities and company culture, suggesting that bringing up compensation too early can be seen as tactless.

“I know this is an unpopular opinion but the interviewer was right – the financial questions shouldn’t be asked in the interview,” one commenter noted, echoing a sentiment that has persisted in the job market for decades.

Workplace expert Roxanne Calder offered a middle ground, advising news.com.au that salary discussions are necessary but should be approached delicately.

“It is okay to talk about salary. We should, everyone needs to pay the bills,” Calder said, recommending a strategic approach to the timing of such questions to avoid seeming overly money-focused.

She suggests a “sandwich” method: start with a question about the role, follow with a query about salary, and conclude with another role-related question.

Moreover, Calder emphasizes the importance of letting the company initiate the conversation about compensation, or at least waiting until the end of the interview to broach the topic gently.

This approach can help candidates navigate the tricky waters of salary discussions without coming off as greedy or disinterested in the job itself.

A bride has revealed her heartbreak after spending a huge amount of money curating a vegan menu for her wedding guests, only for them to pull a disrespectful stunt.

Organizing a wedding can be pretty stressful, from deciding who does – and doesn’t – make the guest list, to picking out flowers, and of course the all-important menu to feed your guests, too.

All of which also comes with a hefty price tag, but hopefully the happy couple ends up with a day that is perfect for them.

One bride revealed that things went a bit wrong for their big day when their vegan menu – which had cost them $15,000 – was about to be served up to their friends and family.

Taking to Reddit’s famous Am I The A**hole? forum, the bride asked: “AITA [Am I The A**hole] for serving only vegan food at my wedding without telling anyone, then getting upset when my family ordered 20 pizzas during the reception?”

The 28-year-old bride revealed that she and her 30-year-old husband have been vegan for the past three years and decided not to include animal products in their menu for their big day.

She explained: “We spent months working with an amazing chef to create a gourmet 5-course meal that just happened to be vegan – think mushroom wellington, truffle risotto, roasted vegetable tarts, etc. We spent nearly $15,000 on the food alone.

“We deliberately didn’t mention the food was vegan on the invitations because we wanted people to enjoy it without prejudice. Every dish was designed to be delicious and satisfying, regardless of dietary preference.”

She revealed that their “beautiful” wedding ceremony went off without a hitch, but she spotted that her older brother Tom wasn’t at his table during the reception.

The bride then revealed: “Twenty minutes later, I watched in horror as he and my cousins walked in carrying 20 large pizzas. They started distributing them to guests, announcing ‘Real food for anyone who wants it!'”

She said the stunt left her “mortified” and the caterers were left looking “so embarrassed” as several of the guests hadn’t even tried the “carefully planned” menu yet.

When she confronted Tom, he told her that their aunt had texted him that “all the food is just vegetables” and they “couldn’t let people go hungry at a wedding.”

She added: “The pizza completely upstaged our expensive gourmet meal. People were taking photos and treating it like a joke.

“My mother-in-law posted on Facebook about how her son’s wedding was ‘saved by pizza’ because the bride tried to ‘force everyone to eat rabbit food.'”

The shock of the unexpected pizza delivery left the bride upset, as she revealed: “I ended up crying in the bathroom, and my husband asked Tom and the cousins to leave.

“This caused a scene, and now half the family is calling us stuck-up and saying we ruined our own wedding by ‘pushing our beliefs’ on everyone. They’re saying we should have warned people about the vegan menu.”

People in the comments were left divided, writing: “Be honest, you didn’t tell anyone about the menu because you knew they wouldn’t like it/come if you did. This doesn’t make you an AH [a**hole], but people could have eaten beforehand if they knew the menus weren’t to their liking.”

Another added: “ESH [everyone sucks here]. I mean ordering pizzas was out of line but you hid it on purpose knowing people wouldn’t like the idea of it. Yes it’s your special day but being deceptive doesn’t help anyone.”

Someone else commented: “ESH. Listen, I’m a vegan, but this is classic self-righteous noob vegan bulls**t that you tried to pull. I wouldn’t eat most of that rancid s**t you served.

“When you’re catering to a crowd you actually have to cater to them. You don’t treat it like some kind of gastronomic lecture. It was a d**k move of your brother to do that, but I am not surprised at all. Edit: I’ll just point out that it sounds like people were pretty f**king delighted to see the pizza. Am I wrong?”

Others added: “You tried to trick them, they tricked you. But how hard is it to eat a vegan meal once in your life!?!? And $15.000 on food? How many people did you invite? 200? ESH,” and: “I’ve always been under the impression that the wedding is about the bride and groom. But the reception is for your guests. Just saying.”

A young woman who has welcomed 22 biological children has revealed that she plans to have over 100 kids.

Parents can have their hands full with just one baby, so raising 22 at once seems almost unbelievable.

However, one mom dreamed it and is now living that reality at just 26 years old.

Kristina Ozturk and her husband Galip Ozturk have spent more than $260,000 on surrogates between March 2020 and July 2021, welcoming 22 children into their family.

The couple spends a further $124,000 yearly on 16 live-in nannies who care for their large family. In addition to this, the businessman spent $7,000 a week on essentials for the babies, including 20 large bags of nappies and 53 packs of formula, per NZ Herald.

The children are named: Victoria, Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, Alparslan, and Olivia, The Sun reported.

The couple met in the Georgian city of Batumi when Kristina was a single mother-of-one and was on vacation there from Russia.

“I’ve dreamed about this since childhood,” Kristina told The Sun about having a large family. “My husband also dreamed about having a big, happy family. So after we met, we started to put our dream into action.

“Our romantic relationship has changed but then our whole lives have changed, not just the romantic part,” she continued.

The supermom revealed that she and her husband dream of having a “big family” and are hoping to have 100 children in the future. They are waiting until their current children are slightly older before beginning another surrogacy journey.

“I’m not sure if we will be the biggest family in the world, but we are planning to be the happiest family in the world for sure,” she added. “I’m planning my pregnancy, but not straight away, because for now I need to be close with my babies.”

Another reason why the baby plans are put on hold is most likely because Kristina’s husband – a businessman who owns the bus company Metro Turizm – was arrested in 2023.

Galip has been sentenced to eight years in prison after being found guilty of illegal purchase and possession of drugs and psychotropic substances, according to Agenda.

News.com.au reported that this isn’t the first time Ozturk was caught by law enforcement as in 2018, he fled to Georgia after being sentenced to life imprisonment for the 1996 murder of a man named Kuvvet Köseoğlu in his home country of Turkey.

A man who has spent an estimated $2 million a year on anti-aging has revealed the terrifying side effects of a recent procedure.

Bryan Johnson is a multimillionaire biohacker on a mission to become 18 again.

At the age of 20, Johnson, from Utah, founded Braintree, a payment gateway that lets customers pay using credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo.

In 2013, the payment gateway company was sold to PayPal for a whopping $800million. Johnson personally made around $300,000,000 from the sale.

The businessman, now 47, has taken on a new full-time job: himself, spending $2 million per year on his lifestyle and starting Project Blueprint.

The self-proclaimed “world’s most measured human” took to his X (formerly Twitter) profile to share a candid post about his project.

“As Blueprint grew into a global movement, the scrutiny increased. Facial fat, we discovered, is pretty important for how people perceive youth. It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have face fat,” he wrote.

“So, we started ‘Project Baby Face,’ to explore whether we can restore lost volume,” Johnson added.

Read Johnson’s thread below:

Here’s where things took a turn for the dramatic. Johnson selected “a first therapy: injecting a fat-derived extracellular matrix to restore volume by stimulating my body’s natural fat growth”.

He decided to opt for donor fat as he didn’t have enough, and this caused his face to swell to alarming proportions, blurring his vision and almost rendering him unrecognizable.

“Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up,” he penned in the post, outlining the unexpected ordeal.

It was a severe allergic reaction that puffed up his face to the point where he was prepared for the worst during an imminent interview with Bloomberg’s Ashlee Vance.

“I called him and said, ‘Hey, so that you’re not alarmed, you may not recognize me today. I think I’m ok. I hope I’m ok. If I’m not ok, are you by chance trained to perform any life-saving actions?'” he shared.

Many people were left stunned by the results and shared their reactions. “Our mission statement is to do literally everything the complete opposite of this guy,” one person wrote.

“I really appreciate this guy’s efforts, but did he really just say he injected someone else’s fat in his face for purely cosmetic reasons?” another questioned.

Fortunately for Johnson, his facial features deflated back to normal after a nail-biting seven days.

Unfazed, he and his team went back to the drawing board and started “reformulating plans for our next attempt”.

“Building a product is one thing; being the product is a whole different thing,” he concluded in the post.

A plus-sized model has called out theme parks for not having bigger seats for larger people.

You may have heard of Gracie Bon, a model who boasts a staggering 9.6 million followers on Instagram and 452.8K followers on TikTok.

The 27-year-old, from Panama, has been very outspoken about how her voluptuous curves have led to several challenges in public spaces.

She highlighted one of those challenges on Monday (November 11) by taking to TikTok to share a clip of herself at a theme park.

The video showed Bon trying to sit in the “small” seats on a rollercoaster. She then moved the camera closer to show her backside before she pulled a stunned face to the camera and shook her head.

Watch Bon’s TikTok below:The plus-sized model captioned the video: “Please just make the seats bigger,” in both English and Spanish.

She also had a voiceover over the No Doubt ‘Just A Girl’ song, saying: “When you want to get on the roller coaster. I tried to do the seat test, only size XL girls will understand. The seat belt didn’t close, these things happen to me because I have big legs.”

Many viewers flooded the comment section with mixed responses to her plight. “Stop making everything a problem!! the world doesn’t revolve around you!!” one user slammed.

Another echoed: “The world is not the problem n does not have to cater to you. Do better big homie,” and a third blasted: “Sucks to be you. That’s your own fault.”

A fourth commented: “Why should they spend a fortune to make bigger seats for people who have no self-control, the entitlement is ridiculous.”

However, some people agreed with her as one user penned: “They should make them bigger!! It’s 2024 we come in ALL SIZES!!”

The content creator is no stranger to controversy as she previously made headlines after sharing a video of her struggling to fit into her plane seat.

“Airplanes should have bigger seats,” she told her followers. “So today I had a flight, and even if I was flying in first class, I couldn’t fit on the airplane seat. So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me can fly. It’s not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger!”

As she was allegedly banned from airlines after asking them to accommodate to her figure, which she has claimed is all-natural, she has no choice but to travel in a private jet.

The model posted a clip about her expensive solution, which showcased the aircraft’s spacious interior, including a “VIP” bathroom where she could easily freshen up.

She reflected on her new mode of travel, saying it is “the best thing that has happened” since her alleged airline ban.

Is it possible that Bon will now purchase her own theme park so she can design seats for her derriere? Let’s wait and see.
