Kamala Harris' campaign finally breaks silence on multi-million celebrity payments

A member of Kamala Harris' campaign is finally speaking out amid accusations by critics that celebrities were paid millions to endorse the vice president during her failed presidential campaign.

Adrienne Elrod, who served as a senior spokesperson for the campaign, told Deadline they do not pay celebrities.

'We have never paid any artist and performer. We have never paid a fee to that person,' she said.

According to her, the campaign is required to pay for 'any ancillary costs for that performance' which could include paying for travel to band members.

'There are laws that have to be followed that we have followed religiously on this campaign,' she said.

The laws she was referring to involve Federal Election Commission rules which require campaigns to pay fair market value for the costs of events.

Companies cannot pay campaigns directly without being reimbursed and when an individual does pick up the cost, it is still considered an in-kind contribution which faces legal limits.

Elrod's comments to Deadline come after Oprah Winfrey spoke out this week to explain the $1 million fee paid to her production company for a town hall event supporting Harris.

Before the election, Winfrey's Harpo Productions helped stage a star-studded town hall event for the vice president in Michigan as the billionaire entertainment mogul enthusiastically endorsed Harris to be the next president.

The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.

When first publicly confronted by TMZ with the news on Monday, Winfrey appeared to give a denial.

'Not true' she said, when a cameraman asked her about the payment. 'I was paid nothing. Ever.'

But Winfrey then clarified her remarks in an Instagram post on The Shade Room show account.

'Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you donโ€™t stop a lie, it just gets bigger,' she wrote.

Winfrey said her production team billed the $1 million fee to the Harris campaign to host the Michigan event on her behalf.

'[M]y production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,' she wrote.

'Winfrey clarified that she personally did not get 'one dime' from the campaign.

'I did not take any personal fee,' she said. 'However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.'

On the bicep of his right arm the boxer has an tattoo of Chairman Mao Zedong, the former Chinese leader. Despite the obvious contradictions in the link with him and the communist icon, Tyson is said to have identified with him during his time in prison in the 1990s after he was convicted of sexually abusing an 18-year-old girl. The fighter began to read voraciously when locked up and one of the books that had a big effect on him was that of Mao, and so he decided on the tattoo. Later, in 2006, Tyson visited the memorial museum for Chairman Mao in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. There he paid his respects at the mausoleum and reflected that: โ€œstanding in front of Chairman Maoโ€™s remains, I felt really insignificant.โ€

Tyson also has a portrait of Ernesto โ€˜Cheโ€™ Guevara, whom he described during an interview as an โ€œincredibleโ€ person who โ€œhad a lotโ€ but who โ€œsacrificed everything for the benefit of other people,โ€ on his abdomen.

The Onion's purchase of Infowars under review after Alex Jones and his lawyers complain

Satirical news outlet had been announced as winner of bankruptcy auction on Thursday

The Onion's winning bid for Alex Jones's Infowars platform is under review by a U.S. federal bankruptcy judge after Jones and his lawyers complained about how an auction was conducted.

The satirical news outlet was announced as the winning bidder on Thursday in an auction that is part of Jones's personal bankruptcy.

Hours later, Infowars headquarters in Austin, Texas, and its websites were shut down and Jones was broadcasting from a new studio he had set up before the bankruptcy auction. By Friday morning, Infowars and its websites were back up and running for reasons that were not entirely clear.

At a hastily called court hearing in Houston on Thursday, Judge Christopher Lopez ordered another hearing to be held next week. He wants to know what happened with the auction and how the bankruptcy trustee chose The Onion over the only other bidder โ€” a company affiliated with a Jones product-selling website.

A court hearing is typically held after a bankruptcy auction to finalize the winning bids and sales, and to hear any objections, so the process in Jones's case hasn't strayed far from the usual โ€” yet.

A Bavarian man's home was raided for retweeting an image calling Economy Minister Robert Habeck an "idiot"

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has pressed charges against a 64-year-old man from Bavaria for sharing a meme calling him an idiot.

Sometime in June, Stefan Niehoff shared a meme featuring a photo of Habeck with an altered logo of a popular shampoo brand, changing it from Schwarzkopf (black head) to Schwachkopf (weak head). Police raided his home in Lower Franconia at dawn on Tuesday and seized his tablet.
