From Amish to AI Slop: Wild Week Sees OnlyFans Exit, ICE Arrest, and Disney Shakeup

Disney Appoints Josh D'Amaro as New CEO Amidst Other Developing News

Walt Disney Co. named Josh D'Amaro, head of its amusement park business, as its new chief executive, according to BBC Business. The announcement came as officials in Tucson, Arizona, continued to search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her home on Saturday night, according to Fox News. In other news, a right-wing Brazilian influencer who supported Donald Trump's immigration policies was arrested by ICE in New Jersey, reported The Guardian, and a former OnlyFans model left Los Angeles to join an Amish community, calling the move "an opportunity from God," Fox News reported. Meanwhile, AI-generated content, dubbed "AI slop," is transforming social media, sparking a backlash, according to BBC Technology.

D'Amaro, a 28-year veteran of Disney, will replace current CEO Bob Iger, BBC Business reported. He is scheduled to begin his new role on March 18. The decision to appoint D'Amaro, the head of the part of Disney's business that has delivered the most reliable profits in recent years, ends a succession puzzle for the entertainment giant, according to BBC Business. Iger had led the company for roughly two decades, except for a brief interlude that ended in 2022 when the board ousted his successor and asked Iger to return.

Meanwhile, the Pima County Sheriff's Department was searching for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen at her Tucson residence around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Fox News reported. Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Monday that "we do, in fact, have a very serious case," according to Fox News.

In immigration news, Júnior Pena, whose full name is Eustáquio da Silva Pena Júnior, was arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey, The Guardian reported. Pena, a right-wing Brazilian influencer, had declared his support for Trump in a recent video message to his hundreds of thousands of social media followers, according to The Guardian. He had falsely claimed that migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were all crooks, The Guardian reported. Pena has reportedly lived in the U.S. since 2009.

Kendra Bates, a dancer and former OnlyFans model, left Los Angeles to experience life in an Amish community, Fox News reported. The 33-year-old is one of six participants featured on TLC's "Suddenly Amish," a reality TV series where people leave their modern lives behind to live in rural Pennsylvania, according to Fox News. Bates told Fox News Digital that faith and her Amish experience reshaped her values and sense of identity.

On social media, AI-generated content is transforming the landscape, according to BBC Technology. Théodore, a social media user, described an AI-generated image of two emaciated, impoverished South Asian children with beards, one with missing limbs, sitting in the rain with a birthday cake, as the "AI slop that tipped him over the edge," according to BBC Technology. The image went viral on Facebook, garnering nearly one million likes and heart emojis, BBC Technology reported.
