  • Celeste Rivas’ Father Denies D4vd Payment Rumors

    The tragic case involving Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the artist D4vd (David Anthony Burke) continues to be a focal point of online discussion and speculation. As D4vd faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with Celeste’s death, social media has been buzzing with theories and rumors. One particular rumor circulating is that D4vd may have paid Celeste’s family.

    Family Attorney Addresses Payment Rumors

    To set the record straight, the Rivas family’s attorney, Patrick Steinfeld, released a statement addressing this specific rumor. According to Rolling Stone, Steinfeld clarified that Celeste’s father, Jesus Rivas, has had no contact with D4vd or his family and has not received any money from them.

    ‘I never had any contact with this guy, and we haven’t received any money from him or anyone in his family,’ Jesus Rivas reportedly stated. This direct denial aims to counter the unfounded narratives spreading online.

    Devastation and Grief

    Attorney Steinfeld emphasized the profound grief the Rivas Hernandez family is experiencing. He described their pain as “unfathomable” and shared the devastating impact the court’s alleged details of the murder have had on them. Steinfeld recounted the heartbreaking task of informing the family about the horrifying allegations, including claims of stabbing, dismemberment with a chainsaw, and the purchase of a ‘burn cage’ to destroy evidence.

    He admitted that the gravity of these details left the family in shock, prompting him to backtrack on his initial encouragement for them to speak publicly. The family’s priority, he stated, is to grieve and heal, while also managing daily life responsibilities like paying bills and going to work.

    Ongoing Case Developments

    Recent updates in the case include a new death certificate for Celeste Rivas that reportedly suggests she may have been pregnant. Prosecutors have also allegedly presented text message evidence. The relationship between D4vd and Celeste Rivas has been a significant point of scrutiny throughout the investigation.

  • Facebook Privacy Settlement: Your Payment Update!

    Great news if you filed a claim in the big Facebook privacy class action lawsuit! The moment many have been waiting for is here: payments from the massive $725 million settlement have officially started going out this week. So, if you were part of this, keep a close eye on your inbox for an important notification.

    How to Spot Your Payment Notification

    The settlement administrators will be reaching out to recipients via email. The subject line you’ll want to look for is “Notice of Settlement Payment.” If you see that email, congratulations – your funds should be arriving within just a few days!

    These payments are being disbursed through the method you originally selected when filing your claim. Whether you chose Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or direct deposit, your share of the settlement should arrive through that channel.

    What to Expect in Your Payout

    Wondering how much you’ll actually get? The average payout is around $29. However, this amount can vary. Some individuals might receive slightly less than $5, while others could see a bit more than $38. Your specific payout amount is determined by how long your Facebook account was active between 2007 and 2022.

    The Background of the Settlement

    This significant settlement stems from allegations that Meta (Facebook’s parent company) allowed third-party firms, including the infamous Cambridge Analytica, to access user data without obtaining proper user consent. This data misuse scandal had a huge impact, affecting tens of millions of users and shaking public trust in the platform.

    While Meta has agreed to pay out the settlement funds, it’s important to note that the company continues to deny any wrongdoing or illegal activity in relation to these claims. It’s a complex situation that highlights ongoing concerns about data privacy in the digital age.

    What If You Don’t Receive Your Payment?

    If you receive the notification email but don’t see your payment within 30 days, don’t panic. The settlement administrators advise contacting the settlement team directly. You can reach them via email at [email protected] for assistance.
