Singer Zara Larsson says she lost out on a $3 million brand deal after refusing to compromise on her stance on abortion rights.

Larsson made it clear that for her, the issue isn’t negotiable — saying that if someone doesn’t believe women should have access to abortion, “we’re not meant to be partners.” Her comments highlight the growing tension between personal values and commercial partnerships, as more artists and brands navigate politically charged issues.

Basketball superstar LeBron James has long been outspoken about politics, famously calling Donald Trump a “bum” and saying: “Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!”

LeBron’s remarks came amid widespread criticism of Trump by NBA players, including Stephen Curry, who declined the traditional White House visit entirely while Trump was president. The two stars’ stances reflected a broader trend of athletes using their platform to speak out against policies they disagreed with and advocate for social justice issues.

James’ comments continue to resonate as part of ongoing debates over athletes engaging in politics, the relationship between sports and government, and how public figures respond to presidential leadership.

A high school principal in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, was shot in the leg while confronting a former student who entered the school with a gun, authorities say. Principal Kirk Moore and other staff moved quickly when they spotted the armed man in the lobby, and their actions prevented injuries to students — no students were hurt, and the suspect was taken into custody. Officials, including the governor, praised Moore’s bravery and noted his prompt actions helped keep others safe. Moore is now in stable condition and expected to recover.
