The term “stealthing” is making headlines after Maine Democrat and Senatorial Candidate Graham Platner has been accused by an ex-girlfriend of repeatedly removing condoms without her consent during sex. We did a deep dive on the subject and were fascinated and frustrated by the lack of recognition from lawmakers in this country about NCCR: Nonconsensual condom removal. Several countries around the world have strict, criminal code on stealthing, categorizing it as a “rape adjacent” crime. Right now, only a handful of states allow victims to pursue civil damages, but not a single jurisdiction in this country considers stealthing a crime.

While the girls went off to play at a Fiji waterpark, the boys at the villa went to work setting up a scavenger hunt for K.C. to ask a very important question to Titi. Sure, it looked like the ladies had a blast, but there was growing tension between Kayda and Trinity: a heated back and forth played out throughout the episode on how to exactly define Zach and Kayda’s relationship, is it a situationship or not? The differing labels left Kayda in tears defending their “exclusive dating” status, while K.C. cut through all the label BS and asked Titi to be his girlfriend. It was an adorable girlfriend proposal that ended with Titi in tears of joy (along with the rest of America).

There is a concerning level of secrecy surrounding Republican Senator and former leader Mitch McConnell. The 84-year-old Senator has been in the hospital since June 14th after a disturbing 9-1-1 call that suggests McConnell was unconscious and experiencing cardiac arrest. There has been no official word on McConnell’s condition and no explanation as to what he’s being treated for specifically. While there are growing theories that McConnell may be brain dead, or in a vegetative state, several Republicans are now stepping forward detailing phone conversations they’ve had with him about current events, almost as if they’re providing proof of life, without actually providing it.

Another day, another accusation by a former girlfriend… and yet Maine Democratic candidate Graham Platner has yet to drop out of his bid for the U.S. Senate and a chance to unseat longtime republican incumbent Susan Collins. 41-year-old Lyndsey Fifield told several news outlets that while they were dating, Platner repeatedly removed condoms without her consent while having sex. The act is known as “stealthing” and is considered a crime in multiple countries and states here in the U.S. and is classified as a form of sexual assault. Platner’s camp is vehemently denying the latest accusations, in addition to a former girlfriend’s claims that he raped her while they were dating, saying they are all politically motivated.
