Noah Kahan, SZA, and Green Day were officially announced as the 2024 headliners for Montreal’s Osheaga Festival. Set to take place from August 2 to 4, the full lineup isn’t out yet but is expected to be just as good as the currently-announced performers and past years of comparison. Because of this, here’s what to know about how much tickets will be for the fest.

Osheaga is currently only selling three-day passes at various price points. The standard General Admission tier costs $284, giving attendees the standard music festival experience. For those looking for something more exclusive, the next tier level is the Casino Montreal Gold Ticket at $536. This provides buyers access to their sponsored premium viewing area, exclusive food and beverage options, private bathrooms, and more.

The highest solo three-day option is the Platinum Ticket tier at $1,167. The festival treats you to a bunch of perks, including concierge service, makeup artists, a continental brunch, a backstage tour, a private shuttle service between stages, a massage area, and so much more.

For those heading to Osheaga in groups, they offer two package options. The Gold Table pack is $4,200 for four tickets, and the party would get their private table on the terrace viewing area. For those in a group of six, the Gold Booth is $7,400 and you would have a reserved couch up there instead.

More information on the Osheaga 2024 tickets can be found here.

It seems a little presumptuous to say that Barbie is the best film ever made, but that’s fine because it is. Greta Gerwig‘s journey into girlhood through a shiny pink lens made bank at the box office this summer, and it’s continuing the dominate the conversation. And then there’s Ken!

As of right now, the only way to watch Barbie is to purchase it on demand at your usual retailers, including AppleTV and Prime. You can also rent the movie, but if you want to stream it you’ll have to wait a little longer.

Over the summer, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said that the film would get a long theatrical release window before heading to streaming. “Take it through these windows of economics that have worked forever, and we think work extremely well, and then put it on Max,” he said. “When [Barbie] goes on Max, we think it will have a very good impact, and that will be in the fall.” Fall is coming to an end soon, so in theory we could see our girl on screen in the next month. But the company has not confirmed anything as of late.

The movie will likely hit Max before the end of the year when you can have your own Mojio Dojo Casa House party at any point you feel comfortable. For now, you’ll have to settle for watching a different pink-infused movie. Mean Girls is now streaming on Prime!

Menstrual taboos are as old as time and found across cultures. They’ve been used to separate women from men physically — menstrual huts are still a thing — and socially, by creating the perception that a natural bodily function is a sign of weakness.

Even in today’s world women are deemed unfit for positions of power because some men actually believe they won’t be able to handle stressful situations while mensurating.

“Menstruation is an opening for attack: a mark of shame, a sign of weakness, an argument to keep women out of positions of power,’ Colin Schultz writes in Popular Science.

---

The big problem with menstrual taboos is the way that males are educated on the subject leaves them with a patchwork of ideas that don’t necessarily add up to the whole picture. First, there’s the information they get from growing up with women in the house.

Then, there are the cryptic descriptions of menstruation seen in advertising and the cold, scientific way the topic is taught in sex education.

“Boys’ early learning about menstruation is haphazard,” a 2011 study published in the Journal of Family Issues reads. “The mysterious nature of what happens to girls contributes to a gap in boys’ knowledge about female bodies and to some negative views about girls.”

Unfortunately, the gaps in the average man’s understanding of a complex female health issue can put women in a difficult position. Whether it’s denying them positions of power or a failure to understand their discomfort.

That’s why it’s so important for men to become better educated about menstruation.

A group of women on TikTok are helping the men in their lives better understand the subject by showing them how tampons work on the inside of their bodies by dousing them in water. They call it the Boyfriend Challenge. Some of the guys’ reactions are clearly over-the-top, but it’s also obvious that many of them have no idea how tampons function.

A video by the Demery family has gone viral attracting nearly eight million views. It’s fun to watch, but it also shows men how tampons function and what women go through during their monthly cycle.

Rachel’s man just uttered the phrase “vagina parachute.”

@mrshillery829 Of course I had to make my husband do this! I will forever call tampons “vagina parachutes”! LMAO!! #tamponchallenge #husbandpranks #funny #fyp ♬ original sound – Rachel Hillery

Paulina’s man was completely flummoxed by the inner workings of a tampon. “You’ve been carrying this like, inside of you?” he asks. “The whole day?”

@paulinat showing him how a tampôn works😭 @fabioguerrrraa ♬ original sound – Pau Torres

This guy thinks it’s “like a butterfly.”

@amanialzubi showing my boyfriend how a tampon works 🤣😳❤️ ( @originalisrael ) #comedy #couple #couplegoals #foryou #trend #tiktok ♬ original sound – amani

@thekelleyfamily lmaoooo why 😂😭 #tamponchallenge #trend #hilariouscomedy #couple #married #foryoupage #fyp #xyzbca ♬ Quirky – Oleg Kirilkov

This guy was amazed by the absorbancy.

Let’s hope this challenge gave some men out there a better understanding of what women go through every month and a little more sympathy for the women in their lives.

Hopefully it also makes them feel a little more comfortable around period products and inspires them to pick up the correct box of tampons next time they’re at the grocery store.

Osheaga Festival is set to return to Montreal next summer. As of now, only the festival’s headliners have been revealed, and with Green Day, SZA, and Noah Kahan on the bill, fans are certainly in for a treat. Other acts are to be revealed at a later date, but fans are already dying to get their hands on tickets.

How To Buy Tickets For The 2024 Osheaga Festival:

Tickets for Osheaga Festival 2024 went on sale earlier this month. Fans can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster Canada. General admission for three-day passes begins at $395 before fees. For $745, fans can get tickets in the Or Casino De Montreal section. Platinum passes at the very front of the stage go for $1,620.

Kahan’s headling slot follows a big year, which saw him release a breakthrough hit, “Dial Drunk.” Early next year, he will embark on a headlining tour, and play a series of festivals. Kahan expressed his excitement over these slots in an interview with the Recording Academy:

“I’m so proud of the people I work with, I’m so proud of myself, because I have really worked hard for this, and I’ve sacrificed a lot of things in my life to make music happen. To get to this place, it just feels like all those hard decisions were worth it.”

Osheaga 2024 will take place August 2-4 at Jean Drapeau Park. The full line-up is set to be revealed next year.

The Milwaukee Bucks stumbled out of the gates to start the season, as they couldn’t find their rhythm on either end of the floor and were hovering around .500 for the first few weeks of the year. Despite the addition of Damian Lillard, the Bucks offense looked rather pedestrian and the drop on defense swapping Lillard in for Jrue Holiday was much steeper than expected considering the continued presence of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

However, this past week has shown some real signs of life for the Bucks, particularly on offense where they are starting to figure out how to make the Dame-Giannis partnership flourish. The two stars preached patience all camp, noting it would take some time for them to find their spots together, but the early going was even rougher than anyone on the outside anticipated. This last week as they’ve ripped off a four-game winning streak, the Bucks have started to show what the high-end potential of that pairing can be. Lillard has started to percolate, averaging 28.3 points and 9.3 assists over the last four games, while Giannis has scored 35 or more in six of his last eight games played, including back-to-back 40 point games this week.

That is a rather terrifying prospect for opposing teams, as the two superstars are starting to figure out how to play off of one another and maximize the space provided by the other. Giannis has handed Lillard the keys in the fourth quarter and the results have been pretty incredible, as the Bucks offense that for years found itself stuck in the mud late in games is now thriving. After their win over Dallas this week, Antetokounmpo offered a fascinating quote about how he’s challenging himself to embrace a lesser role to enhance the team’s impact and allow him to be the best version of himself by playing off the ball (via Jack Maloney of CBS Sports).

“I’ll be honest with you, I’m not used to it in that capacity,” Antetokounmpo said. “Like usually when Khris [Middleton] or Jrue [Holiday] had the ball, or whoever in the past, Malcolm [Brogdon], had the ball down the stretch, it was give and take. They had the ball for two, three possessions, then I had the ball for two, three possessions. We can go three, four, five minutes down the stretch without me actually touching the ball.

“I’m not used to that, but through all the new things that we are doing in this team and not being in my comfort zone I believe that I’m gonna be able to become the best version of myself. I’ve been playing throughout the whole season out of my comfort zone… I’m happy that we can have a guy that can have the ball down the stretch and make plays, create for himself, get to the free throw line, create plays for us, it takes a lot of pressure from me and a lot of attention from me too.”

The results speak for themselves, as Milwaukee’s offense has been terrific in clutch situations this year with Lillard taking on the creative burden. The defense still can be an adventure, as the Bucks are 22nd in defensive rating, but even on that end they’ve seemed to steady to boat a bit. This week will provide their biggest test yet of the newfound rhythm, as they face the Celtics on Wednesday night in a showdown of two of the East’s very best.

Where do the Bucks find themselves in this week’s DIME Power Rankings after a hot streak? Let’s find out…

1. Minnesota Timberwolves (10-3, Last week: 1)

The Wolves keep rolling right along. They did finally have their win streak snapped by Phoenix on a back-to-back the night after Rudy Gobert got thrown in a sleeper by Draymond Green, but they bounced right back with wins over the Pelicans and Knicks. Karl-Anthony Towns is starting to find his place in this offense and is taking some of the burden off of Anthony Edwards.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder (10-4, Last week: 8)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has picked up where he left off last year and looks like an MVP candidate again, putting his talents on full display as he closed out the Warriors in overtime this week, scoring 10 of the Thunder’s 13 points in the extra frame to lead them to a win. Prior to his overtime takeover, it was the Chet Holmgren show in Golden State as he had a career-high 36 points and put his full talents on display, highlighted by a spinning, fading three at the buzzer to force OT.

3. Boston Celtics (11-3, Last week: 3)

Losing in OT to the Hornets isn’t great, and they have looked a bit less machine-like of late, with their last three games all decided by one possession. That said, they are 2-1 in those games and Jayson Tatum continues to play at a truly outrageous level. They have three solid opponents coming up this week in the form of the Bucks, Magic, and Hawks that should give them a good midseason test.

4. Milwaukee Bucks (10-4, Last week: 11)

The offense is humming, but we haven’t seen them do it against a high-level opponent just yet. That changes on Wednesday against Boston where we will get a good gauge of just how far Milwaukee’s come on that end.

5. Miami Heat (9-5, Last week: 7)

Miami’s 7-game winning streak got snapped in the weirdest way possible when they blew a 22-1 lead to the Bulls, of all teams. They exacted revenge the next night in Chicago and continue to look excellent in Tyler Herro’s absence. Duncan Robinson has been terrific, Bam Adebayo is steadily dominant, and Jimmy Butler is starting to look like Jimmy Butler again after a bit of a slow start to the year.

6. Denver Nuggets (10-4, Last week: 4)

The Nuggets are still dangerous as long as Nikola Jokic is on the floor, as we saw when they dismantled the Clippers in the fourth quarter to start the week. However, they also aren’t nearly as dynamic without Jamal Murray and his absence is shining an even brighter light on their bench concerns.

7. Orlando Magic (9-5, Last week: 13)

The Magic are on a four-game winning streak led by their budding star frontcourt duo of Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, but they’re also getting some really good two-way contributions from Jalen Suggs, who is finally looking comfortable now that he’s healthy. Suggs building confidence on offense would be huge considering how important he is to Orlando’s defense, and if he can bring them some dynamism to the backcourt opposite Wagner and Banchero, they’ll be very dangerous.

8. Philadelphia 76ers (10-4, Last week: 2)

The Sixers will feel they let one get away against Cleveland on Tuesday night as Joel Embiid had a shot to win it in regulation that missed. They’re still playing well, but ended up on the wrong side of a couple coin flip games this week. A big road trip coming up with Minnesota and Oklahoma City will give a glimpse at how quickly they can regain their footing.

9. Sacramento Kings (8-5, Last week: 10)

They had a hiccup to end the week getting blasted by the Pelicans, but the Kings are back on track with De’Aaron Fox back in the lineup. The three-point shooting around Fox and Domantas Sabonis is also starting to perk up a bit, which is the difference in the Kings being a good offense and a great offense.

10. Cleveland Cavaliers (8-6, Last week: 18)

The Cavs picked up their fourth straight win with an OT victory over the Sixers on the road (without Donovan Mitchell) and with Darius Garland back in the lineup they’re starting to look like the team a lot of us expected coming into the season. They’ve also found a diamond in the rough in two-way guard Craig Porter Jr. who had a tremendous week and might find himself on the full-time roster eventually.

11. Los Angeles Lakers (8-6, Last week: 14)

The Lakers are taking care of business against the bad teams, which is a must if you want to be a playoff squad. What LeBron is doing at 39 years old is unbelievable and they’re starting to see Austin Reaves regain his form, which is critical given the role he’s being asked to take on this year. We’ll get to see if they can carry this hot streak over against three top-half teams this week as the Mavs, Cavs, and Sixers are up next for L.A.

12. Phoenix Suns (8-6, Last week: 20)

The Suns look good when Devin Booker plays. That’s pretty much been the difference this season, as he opens up the offense so much by the way he can create off the bounce in a way no one else on the roster really can. His growth as a facilitator has really shined this season, and the two-man game between he and Kevin Durant (who continues to play lights out) is the stuff of nightmares for opposing defenses. Durant’s passing, particularly out of doubles, has also been terrific and defenses have a very hard time determining how to approach him when Booker is also on the floor with him.

13. Indiana Pacers (8-5, Last week: 9)

There are a lot of teams in the NBA right now that do the “good at offense, bad at defense” thing, but no one is more successful with that model than the Pacers. Indiana is disgusted by the thought of defensive stops and every game is wild because of it. Tuesday’s 157-152 win over the Hawks to clinch a quarterfinal berth in the In-Season Tournament was the perfect encapsulation — they didn’t put up any resistance but Tyrese Haliburton and company just made sure they got more buckets than Atlanta.

14. New York Knicks (8-6, Last week: 15)

The Knicks had a three-game winning streak halted by the Timberwolves on Monday, but they’re taking care of business against the bad teams and winning enough of their coin flip games to stay above .500. R.J. Barrett is easing his way back into the rotation and the Knicks will hope he can regain his early season form when he was red-hot.

15. New Orleans Pelicans (7-7, Last week: 21)

The Pelicans were a 1-point loss to Minnesota away from a perfect week and they’ve seemingly gotten the offense back on track even in C.J. McCollum’s absence. Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson have figured out how to coexist again and what was once a painful offense to watch at times is starting to look much more dangerous. Matt Ryan had been a bright spot but he’s set to miss time, which means rookie Jordan Hawkins becomes even more important as a floor-spacer.

16. Dallas Mavericks (9-5, Last week: 5)

The Mavs had a tough week as their schedule stiffened up as they had their lone win against the Wizards, with losses to the Pelicans, Bucks, and Kings. The defense is bad and any decent-to-good offensive team will put up 125+ on them right now. Sometimes Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving’s offensive exploits are enough to still win, but at some point they’re going to have to figure out the defensive end of the floor if they’re going to be an actual threat in the playoffs.

17. Atlanta Hawks (6-7, Last week: 12)

The Hawks are doing that thing again where they just keep bouncing around the .500 mark and are currently on a 3-game losing streak. Their record in close games isn’t great and that continued on Tuesday in the wild shootout against the Pacers. In positive news, playing Indiana saw Trae Young find his form offensively, but the defense has some leaky spots and they’ve got to figure out how to close out games if they’re going to take a step forward.

18. Los Angeles Clippers (5-7, Last week: 24)

The Clippers finally snapped their losing streak with back-to-back wins over the Rockets and Spurs since Russell Westbrook volunteered to move to the bench. They get one more game with the Spurs before some real tests to see how much they’ve improved with the Pelicans, Mavs, and Nuggets all in a row.

19. Houston Rockets (6-6, Last week: 6)

Houston came back to earth with three losses this week, but those losses were by a combined 12 points. Alperen Sengun remains incredibly fun to watch, the defense seems legit, and they’re learning in real time how difficult it is to close out good teams. Still, this is a far more competitive and competent team than recent years and they are capable of beating anyone on any given night.

20. Brooklyn Nets (6-7, Last week: 17)

The Nets aren’t good and they aren’t bad. They’re just kind of floating in the middle, which is fine but not particularly exciting. They just lack some juice (and some depth) to feel like a real threat, but are also competitive most nights.

21. Golden State Warriors (7-8, Last week: 19)

Steph Curry is playing some of the best basketball of his career and the Warriors are still under .500. Draymond Green is out here throwing folks in chokeholds and getting suspended, Klay Thompson is a non-factor, and the fan base has had enough of Steve Kerr’s refusal to give the young guys a chance. The good news is Andrew Wiggins seems to maybe be shaking free of his slump, but the Warriors could really use to string together a few wins to get the vibes back up.

22. Toronto Raptors (6-8, Last week: 16)

The Raptors are the Raptors. The offense is tough to watch (unless they’re playing the Pistons or Wizards) and they want to play slow and lean on their defense, but they aren’t really good enough on that end to make that a viable strategy. Scottie Barnes has been terrific and remains the bright spot, and maybe that means they’ll finally make some moves and try to build an actual coherent roster around him as the centerpiece soon.

23. Chicago Bulls (5-10, Last week: 22)

It’s really a testament to how bad the bottom quarter of the league is that the Bulls still land at 23. They are sinking quickly, with Zach LaVine very clearly wanting to be anywhere but Chicago, and if it weren’t for the weirdest comeback of the season they’d be on a 5-game losing streak.

24. Utah Jazz (4-10, Last week: 23)

The Jazz just don’t have enough right now on offense and can’t stop anyone on defense. Lauri Markkanen is tremendous, John Collins has been solid, and Keyonte George looks like he could become a solid two-way guard if he can figure out the whole shooting thing. Other than that, there’s not a lot to be excited about right now.

25. Charlotte Hornets (4-9, Last week: 25)

The Hornets somehow beat the Celtics in overtime to snap a four-game skid, and there are some intriguing pieces on this roster, headlined by LaMelo Ball, but also with Brandon Miller showing flashes and Mark Williams looking like a solid starting center. At some point you’d expect them to look at moving Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward to try and further embrace the youth movement, barring some unforeseen big run coming over the next month or so.

26. Memphis Grizzlies (3-10, Last week: 26)

Memphis’ injury report could field a really strong starting five. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard are the latest Grizzlies to hit the injured list, and it’s just bleak in Memphis right now. Santi Aldama is letting it fly, so that’s kind of fun, and Ja Morant will be back after 12 more games.

27. Portland Trail Blazers (3-11, Last week: 27)

The Blazers have lost eight in a row, which is what happens when an already bad team is missing key players. Hopefully Scoot Henderson will be back soon and Anfernee Simons is back doing some drills after thumb surgery and should be back in December.

28. San Antonio Spurs (3-11, Last week: 28)

The Spurs are bad, but Victor Wembanyama does a couple things each night that make you laugh out loud. That’s really the ideal season for the Spurs who are learning lessons, playing through problems, letting Wemby do fun stuff, and moving towards another lottery pick at the moment.

29. Washington Wizards (2-11, Last week: 29)

The Wizards are entertaining, if nothing else. At least, they’re entertaining to an impartial observer — Wizards fans probably are going crazy watching some of the mistakes they make — and I hope the NBA’s All-Vibes Team continues to give us funny clips all year. On the positive side, Bilal Coulibaly rocks.

30. Detroit Pistons (2-13, Last week: 30)

The Pistons almost snapped their losing streak against the Nuggets, but came up just short and now sit at 12 straight losses. Ausar Thompson is outrageously fun to watch play defense, but they really need Jalen Duren back to declutter their frontcourt minutes.

If you type any famous person’s name into Google, one of the suggested fill-in options is “…height.” It’s how I know Tom Cruise is 5′ 7″, Nicole Kidman is 5′ 11″, and the tall man from It Follows is 7’7″ (RIP to a legend). With Napoleon out in theaters, I was curious to know if the real-life Napoleon Bonaparte, who was known as “Le Petit Caporal,” is the same height as Joaquin Phoenix, the actor who plays him in the Ridley Scott film.

Phoenix is reportedly 5’8” — or six inches taller than Bonaparte. 5’2” is considered short for a man in 2023, but in the late 1700s, “he was probably of average height,” according to the History Channel. So why is he considered a famous short king?

It was largely the work of one man: the British cartoonist James Gillray (1756-1815). Gillray’s caricatural depictions of the French general were so popular and influential that at the end of his life Napoleon said that Gillray “did more than all the armies of Europe to bring me down.”

One cartoon in particular, “The Plumb-pudding in danger, or, State Epicures taking un Petit Souper,” shows Napoleon as half the size of British Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. It has been described as “probably the most famous political cartoon of all time.” OK, yeah, but did the director of Alien and Blade Runner ever depict Pitt of blowing up a pyramid? Exactly.

Napoleon, which also stars Vanessa Kirby as Napoleon’s wife Empress Joséphine, is out in theaters now.

The most striking thing I witnessed when first covering Mexico City’s Corona Capital in 2015 was the rabid fanfare. Even during the festival’s first couple of hours for performances by what one might refer to as “baby bands,” massive crowds of super-fans singing along to every word descended on each stage. The scenes were inspiring — a result of many artists’ relatively rare tour routes coming through Latin America and in some cases, for the first time.

That trend has persisted into the present with audiences at this year’s edition — headlined by Arcade Fire, Blur, and The Cure and held Nov. 17-19 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez — going absolutely wild during the majority of sets from 88 bands playing across five stages. Spread out among a capacity of roughly 80,000 people per day (Mexico’s largest festival in history), these moments positioned the event as one of the country’s most significant reunions between music fans and artists since the conclusion of Covid lockdowns.

Such statistics bestow Corona Capital with the status of a crucial cultural occurrence, perhaps only slightly hampered by the fact that it’s now the most expensive festival in the world with 2023 general admission three-day passes topping out at upwards of $700 (about 12,600 pesos), meaning that attendance is ostensibly reserved for primarily affluent audiences. That said, drastic plunges in after-market ticket prices increased affordability, allowing for more widespread music-fueled catharsis among artists’ Mexico City debuts and long-awaited performances alike.

Read on for a list and images of the weekend’s standouts who fall into one of those two categories, followed by a full festival photo gallery.

Yard Act (Mexico debut), Friday on the Corona stage:

The Walkmen (first Mexico appearance in 11 years), Friday on the Corona stage:

Sampa the Great (Mexico debut), Friday in the Viva Tent:

Pulp (first Mexico appearance in 11 years), who debuted new song “Background Noise,” Friday on the Vans stage:

Kasabian (first Mexico appearance since 2017), Saturday on the Corona Stage:

Kim Petras (Mexico debut), Saturday on the Vans stage:

Fever Ray (Mexico debut), Saturday in the Viva Tent:

Blur (first Mexico appearance since 2015), Saturday on the Corona stage:

Feist (first Mexico appearance since 2017), Sunday on the Vans stage:

Sleater-Kinney (first Mexico appearance since 2015, at Corona Capital), Sunday on the Vans stage:

The Cure doesn’t fall into either category as they tour Latin America frequently (they last performed in Mexico City in 2019), but they deserve an accolade for the largest audience of the festival by far, nearly drawing the entirety of the festival’s capacity for their epic two-and-a-half-hour long, 28-song set Sunday on the Corona stage:

The Phoenix Suns took down the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night, 120-107. It was a big win for Phoenix, as the team kept itself in contention for a wild card spot to move onto the knockout round in the In-Season Tournament — the Los Angeles Lakers clinched Group A last night, too, so Phoenix’s only path forward involves being the last team to make the knockouts among the Western Conference squads.

This was also the first regular season game that Blazers center Deandre Ayton played against his old team. Ayton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, spent the first five years of his career in Phoenix, and while there were some incredible highs during his tenure, there were plenty of strange moments that led to people questioning if he’d stay there long-term. That got answered over the summer when he was moved to Portland, and after the game, Suns standout Devin Booker gave his thoughts on his first regular season matchup with ayton.

“It’s fun,” Booker said. “It’s, I think, our first time in the regular season. I’m happy we came out with the win, he played extra hard tonight, I’ve seen that. And my challenge for him is to play like that every night.”

Ayton was moved to the Blazers in the three-team deal that saw Portland send Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored 18 points with eight rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block in 31 minutes of work on Tuesday evening.

Partygoers at a California Taco Bell took the chain’s “live más” motto a little too literally.

Alana Bechiom filed a lawsuit against the restaurant after claiming that she was fired for tattling to human resources about a raucous holiday party. The New York Post reports that the alleged incident happened last December at a Taco Bell location in San Pedro, California, where Bechiom worked at the time.

Bechiom, who says she was invited to the party by her supervisor Lidia Ruiz, attended the gathering with her sister and her sister’s significant other. They were encouraged to bring food, so she made guacamole. When they arrived, they “discovered that Ruiz covered the windows of the restaurant with wrapping paper” and “also covered the cameras for the lobby in the inside of the restaurant,” according to the complaint.

Once drinks (boozy Baja Blast?) were served, things got wild:

The complaint accuses Ruiz of providing alcohol to the staffers — several of whom were “overserved,” it was alleged. At around midnight, Bechiom, who had been socializing outside the restaurant for a short while, “walked back into the restaurant” and witnessed a co-worker “having sex with his wife in front of everyone at the party,” it was alleged in the complaint. The co-worker’s wife was “bent over” and “kissing both Ruiz and another co-worker,” the complaint alleged. The co-worker was given the pseudonym “Adriana.”

Bechiom was “shocked, disgusted, and outraged by what she saw and ran outside,” the complaint alleges, but she had to go back inside to retrieve her guacamole bowl. “She saw Ruiz and ‘Adriana’ throwing up,” according to the Post. “One of them vomited in the trash while the other threw up in Bechiom’s guacamole bowl.” After reporting the party to HR days later, “Ruiz and the other co-workers involved in the alleged sex romp were fired.”

After their termination, “someone associated with” Ruiz and the co-workers “retaliated” against Bechiom by “smash[ing] out the back left window” of her car at her home in the middle of the night, it was alleged in the complaint. Bechiom is then alleged to have received numerous threatening text messages, including one from a female co-worker which read: “baby girl I wanna break your face [I don’t give a f*ck] about your car.”

Bechiom claims to have suffered from “actual, consequential, and incidental financial losses,” which is also how I feel after eating my third Crunchwrap Supreme of the week (god they’re good). The lawsuit does not specify how much she is seeking in damages.
