Sean Hjelle's wife accuses Giants pitcher of abuse; team in contact with MLB
A day after San Francisco Giants' reliever Sean Hjelle's wife, Caroline, accused him of infidelity, family abandonment, and abuse in a viral TikTok, posted Friday, June 20, the team released a statement on the matter. "We are aware of these serious allegations," the statement read. "We have been in contact with MLB. These type of allegations fall under their jurisdiction and we won't be commenting further." The TikTok, which has garnered more than 3.5 million views and over 230,000 likes in less than 24 hours since it was posted, includes a caption that says, "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone." Hjelle did not comment to reporters before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Chronicle reported. Before the game, Giants manager Bob Melvin said Hjelle was available to pitch on Saturday. Melvin acknowledged he was aware of the accusations. "He told me about it last night," Melvin told reporters. "We've talked to MLB and at this point, it's in their jurisdiction so we can't comment on it any further." MLB News: Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski begins MLB career with 11 no-hit innings What else has Caroline Hjelle said on the matter? The San Jose Mercury News cited a Giants spokesperson, who said the couple is divorced. It is unclear when the couple officially ended their marriage, but Caroline has several posts on her TikTok alluding to her struggles as a solo parent, dating back to October 2024, when she posted this video for the "17 Diapers" trend, meant to detail the struggles of early parenthood. On April 8 of this year, Hjelle posted another TikTok with the hashtag "divorce", claiming she was "devastated" after "finding out all the lies." Has Hjelle been important to the Giants' success? The Giants have been one of the surprise teams of 2025 with a 42-34 record while sitting in second-place in the NL West. A large reason for that success has been their bullpen, which has posted an MLB-best 2.60 ERA. Hjelle played a sizable role in the Giants' bullpen in 2024, when he recorded a 3.90 ERA across 80⅔ innings. However, he's taken a large step back in 2025, with his ERA ballooning to 4.66, while his BB/9 has increased massively from 1.6 in 2024 to 6.5 this year. Hjelle has pitched only 9⅔ innings this season. MLB News: Padres' Robert Suarez suspended three games for hitting Shohei Ohtani with pitch

Is ‘North Shore' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
North Shore , the Aussie crime show, grabbed viewers with its juicy murder plot and sweet Sydney Harbour scenery. You've got Joanne Froggatt as Abigail Crawford, a tough UK Trade Minister, and John Bradley as Detective Max Drummond, a Brit cop teaming up with an Aussie partner to crack the case of Abigail's daughter Sophie's death. Since it dropped on Network 10 in Australia in May 2023 and hit ITVX in the UK in December 2024, fans are dying to know: Is Season 2 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Is North Shore Season 2 Happening? As of June 2025, Network 10 and Paramount+ haven't said yes or no to North Shore Season 2. There's a glimmer of hope, though. Back in August 2023, the Nilsen Report claimed filming was set to start in Sydney that October, with Beach Road Pictures, ITV Studios, and Screen Australia in the mix. But no one's followed up with hard news, so we're left hanging, wondering if it's a go or a bust. Season 1 pulled a 6.8/10 on IMDb, and fans loved Froggatt and Bradley's chemistry, plus the crime-meets-drama vibe. Some weren't stoked about slow pacing or side characters who didn't shine, which might weigh on the decision. Until we hear more, it's all guesswork. North Shore Season 2 Potential Release Date No Season 2 confirmation means no release date yet. If that October 2023 filming rumor panned out, they might've wrapped by early 2024. Going by how long Season 1 took, we could see new episodes by late 2025 or early 2026. North Shore Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 dug into Sophie's murder, with Max and Aussie cop Meg Driscoll (Kirsty Sturgess) unraveling political dirt and dark secrets. It tied up the main case but left some questions. No official plot for Season 2 yet, but here's what might go down: New Case, Same Duo: Max and Meg, with their Brit-Aussie banter, could tackle another Sydney murder, maybe tied to some shady international deal. Old Clues: Season 1 dropped hints about dodgy businessman Lloyd Macklin and a mystery caller tipping off Max and Abigail. Those could spark a new mess. Real Feelings: Abigail's still hurting from her loss, and Max's got issues with his partner, Anna, which could add depth to a fresh case. Mike Bullen, who made Cold Feet , knows how to blend grit and heart, so expect any new season to pack a punch. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

ATO warning for nearly one million Aussies after major change: 'Significant amount'
Australians who have taken up a side hustle in the last 12 months are being warned they could soon have a tax bill on their hands. The latest data shows nearly one million people have more than one job, and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has already said it will pay very close attention to them. If you've been doing some Uber Eats delivery, OnlyFans content, or e-commerce selling on the side, you could get a 'shock' after July 1. CPA Australia tax lead Jenny Wong said this could be huge for some people. 'Until this year, individuals have been required to self-declare the income from their side hustles," she said. "Now nothing will go under the radar." $1537 tax warning as Aussies get ready to submit returns Centrelink age pension changes coming into effect from July 1 Rare 10 cent coin worth up to 70 times more due to tiny detail The Sharing Economy Reporting Regime has been expanded, and it means any company you make money from, be it Airtasker, Doordash, or YouTube, will report that income to the ATO. The tax office will have a much wider understanding of your income than ever before. "These rules apply to a broad range of services, not just the most well-known," Wong said. "If you use a website to rent out a car parking space or your designer handbag, this income will be recorded, and you'll need to pay tax.'Wong predicted influencers and X-rated content creators could be in for the biggest tax bills because of the enormous amount of money they can make. These creators have been reminded that they have to declare any gifts or gratuities they received been July 1 to June 30 as a form of payment. You have to start paying tax for anything earned over $18,200. "If you've had a successful year earning money through advertising revenue and streaming subscriptions, as well as through gifts and gratuities, the ATO will be expecting you to cough up," Wong said. "Yes, this even includes free cars, holidays, clothes and anything else you're lucky enough to receive as a form of payment. 'Depending on how much you've earned during the year, this could be a significant amount, maybe even tens of thousands of dollars.' Yahoo Finance contributor and director of tax communications at H&R Block, Mark Chapman, said many people haven't been properly declaring their extra cash from their side hustles. "You might think your side hustle is just a hobby but the ATO will disagree," he said. Even if you do the odd job here and there that generates tens to a few hundred dollars, it still needs to be declared. He warned those renting out properties, or even part of one, through platforms like Airbnb or Stayz, the ATO will be on your case. "The ATO has numerous third-party sources of data which it can use to identify if you are receiving rent and they are on the lookout for mismatches with the tax return data that you report," Chapman said. But the ATO said having a side hustle isn't all bad news. "Each source of income you have will have different deductions available to you, depending on the nature of the income and your occupation," it said. You can find a list of all the deductions related to different jobs, side hustles, and income-producing hobbies here.
