Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The dude is a bit of a weirdo and a domestic abuser, but holy crap he's led an interesting life.

Was married to Madonna, beat up both her and some paparazzi, relationship exploded dramatically.

Got his own boat together and personally rescued people stranded during Katrina.

Interviewed El Chapo in person, and committed enough opsec violations in the resulting article to get Chapo arrested (and is still alive).

The world is a more interesting place with him in it, that's for sure.

Married to Madonna and beat the shit out of her.

Sean Penn got El Chapo arrested?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not on purpose. He was likely tracked by the DEA.
