Tucker, who recently signed a decade-long contract extension, was suspended without pay while a Title 9 investigation is ongoing.

Brand denies any wrongdoing and questions the timing and motivation behind the suspensions. Meanwhile, in the military, the US Marine Corps is investigating the crash of a stealth fighter jet and ordered a stand down of aviation units for safety discussions. These events highlight the importance of addressing allegations seriously and the potential consequences of transparency in the digital age.
