Vitaly gets bail but remains detained amid ongoing criminal charges for vulgar pranks in the Philippines

(Image via X/@KCMontero)
Controversial streamer Vitaly just pulled a move that's making headlines again. After being transferred to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) last week, the Russian-American Kick streamer has now reportedly posted bail and bounced straight back into the hands of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI).
However, it's not as simple as you think.
From BJMP to BI: What Just Happened?
As per local sources, Vitaly posted bail on June 18, 2025, barely a week after being placed under BJMP's custody. But instead of walking free, he's been immediately handed over to BI. Why? Because the streamer isn't just facing criminal charges; he's also staring down a deportation case.
According to BI officials, Vitaly is now classified as an 'undesirable alien.' Harsh? Maybe.
But considering the list of things he allegedly did while IRL streaming in the Philippines, not surprising.
Why Is Vitaly Even in Trouble?
Vitaly's recent visit to the Philippines went
off the rails
. During an IRL stream in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) back in April 2025, he was seen doing things that landed him in serious trouble:
Harassing locals on camera
Snatching a guard's cap
Allegedly stealing stuff
Filming people without their consent
And even taking a joyride on a cop's bike
All of this was caught on livestream, and let's just say, the Philippine Interior Secretary wasn't having it. He slammed Vitaly's actions as 'disruptive and inappropriate,' and legal charges quickly followed. Vitaly is now facing multiple cases, including:
Vandalism
Unjust vexation
Burglary
Theft
Unauthorized recording
Each charge reportedly carries a potential sentence of five years
minimum
if he's found guilty.

He's Facing Deportation Too
So even though Vitaly's posted bail for the criminal cases and technically could've been out, he's now being detained by the BI because of an active deportation case. But here's the kicker: his deportation isn't happening right away. First, he needs to face all the pending criminal charges. If found guilty, he'll have to serve his time in the Philippines before any plane ticket back home is even considered.
So, What's Next for Vitaly?
Vitaly posted bail, but he's far from free. The BJMP may have let him go, but the Bureau of Immigration stepped in immediately. This saga's far from over, and all eyes are on what the courts decide next. For now, Vitaly's bold (and reckless) streaming tactics have landed him in one of the toughest spots he's ever streamed from: Philippine custody.

Antonio Brown leaves country after attempted murder warrant but he can't run forever

(Image via Getty) Antonio Brown just crossed another line and this one might be the hardest to come back from. The former NFL wide receiver, once known for his record-breaking catches, is now making headlines for something far darker: facing an attempted murder charge and fleeing the country before the warrant could be enforced. But instead of laying low, AB is doing what AB does best, making it worse. Antonio Brown is wanted in Florida for attempted murder but he left the country instead On June 11, Florida authorities issued a warrant for Brown's arrest on second-degree attempted murder charges after a violent altercation outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami. Reports allege that Brown punched a man, disarmed a security guard, and fired two shots, one of which grazed the victim's neck. The bond was set at $10,000, and Brown was ordered to remain on house arrest once taken into custody. But instead of turning himself in, he left. Authorities confirmed that Brown is no longer in the United States, with most signs pointing to Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East. Brown took to X (formerly Twitter) with a jaw-dropping message: 'I'm out the country, ain't no more child support, tell your mama get a job.' The internet's jaw dropped, and just like that, Antonio Brown reminded the world why he's no longer seen as a misunderstood star, but a full-blown PR disaster. Law enforcement is now waiting for him to return, at which point he'll be arrested. From abroad, Brown mocks child support and doubles down on his defiance If there was ever a moment to show remorse or at the very least, silence—this was it. But Antonio Brown, never one to read the room, decided to post this instead: 'Ain't no more child support, tell your mama get a job.' This comes after multiple past legal issues involving unpaid child support. And now, the post has triggered massive backlash, with fans and critics calling it 'disgusting,' 'clueless,' and 'beyond saving.' Brown also lashed out at the media, claiming he was being portrayed unfairly and that he's the victim of "racist profiling." Legally, Brown can't run forever. Miami police say they've been in touch with his legal team and plan to arrest him as soon as he returns to U.S. soil. However, without an international warrant, his stay abroad may delay the process, possibly on purpose. But legally delayed doesn't mean forgiven. And publicly? The damage might already be permanent.

Russian missile, drone strikes kill at least 10 civilians in Ukraine

Russian drones and missiles killed at least 10 civilians in Ukraine in nighttime attacks, local officials said Monday, with seven deaths reported in the capital, Kyiv, where emergency crews raced to find people believed trapped under the rubble of a partially collapsed apartment building. Russia fired 352 drones and decoys overnight, as well as 11 ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, Ukraine's air force said. Air defences intercepted or jammed 339 drones and 15 missiles before they could reach their targets, a statement said. The strikes came nearly a week after a combined Russian attack on Ukraine last Tuesday killed 28 people in Kyiv, 23 of them in a residential building that collapsed after sustaining a direct missile hit. Russian forces have for several months been trying to drive deeper into Ukraine as part of a renewed summer push along the roughly 1,000-kilometre front line, though the Institute for the Study of War said their progress has been limited. Russian forces have failed to make significant gains during this period of intensified offensive operations, however, due in part to the fact that Russian forces are largely relying on poorly trained infantry to make gains in the face of Ukraine's drone-based defence, the Washington-based think tank said late Sunday. At the same time, Russia has pounded civilian areas with long-range strikes in an apparent attempt to weaken public morale. Ukrainian leader notes role of Iran, North Korea Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said preliminary data indicated that Russian forces used North Korean missiles in the Kyiv strike. He called Russia, North Korea and Iran, which has provided drones to Russia, a coalition of murderers and warned of a potential spread of the terror if their alliance continues. Zelenskyy said Ukraine's defence and new ways to pressure Russia will be the two main topics in his visit to the United Kingdom on Monday. Zelenskyy was to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London ahead of this week's NATO summit in The Hague, Starmer's office said. French Foreign Minister Jean-Nol Barrot said the latest strikes demonstrated Russia's unlimited cruelty, by deliberately taking aim at civilian targets, and promised more European sanctions on Moscow. Rescue workers search for survivors Drones and missiles hit residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure in numerous districts across Kyiv in the early hours of Monday, emergency services said. The most severe damage was in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv, where a section of a five-story apartment building collapsed. Six people were killed in that district, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Ten others, including a pregnant woman, were rescued from a nearby high-rise that also sustained heavy damage in the blast. Dozens of vehicles, some burned out and others mangled by flying debris from the blast, formed a snarl in the courtyard in front of the partly demolished building, which had collapsed down to the second floor. Onlookers, some wrapped in blankets, watched tearfully as the cleanup operation took place. Dozens of volunteers worked to remove broken glass, downed tree branches and other debris. Oleksii Pozychaniuk, 29, who lives in the building next to the one struck in the attack, said he heard the whistle of the rocket approaching from inside his apartment and froze in terror before feeling the impact. Windows burst out, glass was flying everywhere, he said. We barely made it downstairs with my child, everything here was on fire. We didn't see the neighboring building yet because everything was covered in smoke, the cars were smoldering, tires were bursting from the high temperature which was also scary. Klitschko told reporters that rescue workers were still searching the collapsed building for survivors. The Russian attack also damaged the entrance to the Sviatoshyn subway station in Kyiv, slightly injuring two people, said Timur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration. He said more than 30 people were injured across the city. Since the early days of Russia's invasion, underground subway stations have served as shelters for those seeking protection from aerial attacks. During almost nightly strikes, stations across Kyiv are often filled with people waiting out the danger. Elsewhere in Ukraine, a Russian short-range drone attack killed two people and wounded 10 more in the Chernihiv region late Sunday night, authorities said. Three children were among the wounded, according to the regional administration head, Viacheslav Chaus. Another person was killed and eight wounded overnight in the city of Bila Tserkva, around 85 kilometers (53 miles) southwest of the capital. Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry said its air defences shot down 23 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday.

Odisha is peaceful, tourists don't require special permission: Dy CM

Deputy Chief Minister and Tourism Minister Pravati Parida stated on Monday that Odisha tourists don't require special permission from their home countries to visit the state. Answering media queries over the Level-2 travel advisory issued by the US State Department, Parida said on Monday: 'I was checking with the data and found that the number of American tourists visiting Odisha is very negligible. The US may find the rapid development of India a threat, and for this, they are making such assertions. But I don't feel Odisha or any other state in India are in such a situation that tourists will visit that region after getting permission from their country. Every country is free to make laws for its citizens. However, India is safe under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.' The Tourism Minister also highlighted the prompt action taken by police following the college student gang rape incident at Gopalpur beach in Ganjam district on June 15 that shocked the whole nation. Emphasising the state government's concerns over women's safety, she asserted that police succeeded in arresting all the accused involved in the shameful incident within just a few hours of the incident. She also informed media persons that the state government has already held two meetings mulling steps to increase security at various tourist spots and lovers' points in the state, and a decision in this regard will be taken soon. Speaking on the issue, Odisha Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan stated that the US travel advisory is a diplomatic issue which will be addressed diplomatically by the Ministry of External Affairs. Earlier, the opposition Congress and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) had targeted the state government over the travel advisory issued by the US State Department, alleging deterioration of the law-and-order situation in the state under the BJP-led government. Senior BJD leader Arun Sahoo has alleged that the advisory issued by the US government corroborates the party's claim that the law and order situation has collapsed in Odisha, and incidents of women facing sexual abuse and other atrocities increased during the last year under the BJP-led state government. He also accused that Moist activities, which were suppressed during the BJD-led government, are rearing their head again in the state. Notably, the US has recently issued a Level-2 travel advisory for several states in India, including Odisha, asking its citizens travelling to these states to 'exercise increased caution' due to crime, especially targeting women and terrorism threats.
