Lizzy Musi, a race car driver who starred in the Discovery Channel’s “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings,” has died a little more than a year after being diagnosed with stage 4\u00a0triple-negative breast cancer. She was 33.<\/p>\n
Musi passed away June 27 at her North Carolina home with her family by her side, her father, fellow street racer Pat Musi,\u00a0announced\u00a0on Facebook.<\/p>\n
“Surrounded by her Family, in the comfort of her own home, Lizzy was called to heaven at 11:25pm tonight. Thank you for all the prayers and support throughout her battle,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Lizzy Musi revealed news of her cancer diagnosis\u00a0on Instagram\u00a0in April 2023.<\/p>\n
“Hey Everyone, I haven\u2019t been able to have much time to post due to an unexpected life change. A few days ago I have been Diagnosed with Triple Negative Stage 4 Breast Cancer that has moved to my lymph nodes to my liver,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a rough journey ahead of me. I appreciate everyone\u2019s messages and calls,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of invasive breast cancer that tends to grow and spread faster throughout the body, according to the\u00a0American Cancer Society. There are also fewer treatments available, so patients tend to have worse outlooks.<\/p>\n
About 10-15% of breast cancers are triple negative. Its signs and symptoms are similar to other types of breast cancer, such swelling in the breasts; changes to skin on the breast, including dimpling, redness, dryness, flaking or thickening; nipple discharge; pain in the breast or nipple; and swollen lymph nodes under the arm or near the collar bone.<\/p>\n
Musi shared updates about her diagnosis on social media prior to her death. In June 2023, she posted a photo\u00a0on Instagram\u00a0that showed her with a shaved head, explaining in her caption that she decided to shave her head because of \u201cextreme hair loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell here is the new me … some days are tough to look in the mirror but there are days where I feel stronger than ever,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
In April 2024, Musi opened up\u00a0in a Facebook video\u00a0about how her diagnosis had changed her. The video showed her receiving various treatments at a hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so very thankful to what this journey has actually taught me. I now know I have a purpose in life. I am grateful to keep going,\u201d she told fans.<\/p>\n
The longtime street racer, who also appeared on the “Street Outlaws” spin-offs “Locals Only,” “Gone Girl”\u00a0and\u00a0“Fastest in America,” made history in 2014 when she became the first woman to win a Pro Nitrous national event at the Professional Drag Racers Association U.S. Drags, according to her\u00a0official website.<\/p>\n
In 2023, she became the first female driver to win an event on\u00a0“Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings”<\/p>\n
Musi’s final post\u00a0on Instagram\u00a0featured a photo of red roses inside a hospital room. She tagged her location as Medias Klinikum Burghausen, a cancer treatment facility in Germany.<\/p>\n
“Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers Mikey!!” she captioned the shot. “Made my morning on top of great news this morning!!”<\/p>\n
The return of\u00a0Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/em> to BBC One this week has once again ignited heated debate across Britain, underscoring the sitcom\u2019s reputation as one of the most polarising comedies in modern television history. On Friday evening, the fifth series premiered after months of anticipation from loyal fans \u2014 and with it came an outpouring of complaints from detractors who flooded social media to voice their displeasure. Within minutes of the broadcast, X (formerly Twitter) was filled with comments ranging from weary sarcasm to outright demands for the BBC to cancel the show altogether.<\/p>\n For many viewers who have grown tired of Brendan O\u2019Carroll\u2019s trademark brand of slapstick humour and cheeky innuendo, the programme\u2019s return felt less like a treat and more like an unwelcome reminder of what they consider to be outdated comedy. One particularly frustrated user summed up their disappointment with biting humour: \u201cI\u2019ve had a tough week. Very tough. Then when I thought it couldn\u2019t get any worse, the man on TV said \u2018and now on BBC1 a new series of Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys.\u2019 Haven\u2019t we suffered enough?\u201d Another viewer was more concise, writing simply: \u201cNot for me #mrsbrownsboys.\u201d A third offered sharper criticism, calling it \u201ca waste of licence payers\u2019 money,\u201d echoing a complaint that has long followed the programme in an era where every penny of BBC funding is scrutinised.<\/p>\n Scrolling through reactions online, it quickly became clear that the show continues to divide audiences into two sharply opposed camps. On one side are the critics, who argue that its humour feels stale, overly reliant on toilet jokes, slapstick mishaps, and Agnes Brown\u2019s exaggerated mannerisms. On the other side are the defenders, who maintain that comedy is subjective and that those who dislike the series should simply switch the channel instead of complaining online. Supporters wrote messages such as, \u201cI don\u2019t care what anyone says, I think Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys is funny,\u201d and \u201cIf you don\u2019t like it\u2026 don\u2019t watch it.\u201d For these fans, the programme is a comfort, a familiar source of laughter in a television landscape that often takes itself too seriously.<\/p>\n The passionate debate sparked by the latest episode is nothing new. Since its debut over a decade ago,\u00a0Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/em>\u00a0has been a lightning rod for criticism and acclaim in equal measure. At its peak, the show was a ratings juggernaut. Its 2013 Christmas special drew an astonishing 11.5 million viewers, and it went on to win six National Television Awards for Best Comedy. Brendan O\u2019Carroll, who not only created the series but also stars as the sharp-tongued matriarch Agnes Brown, became a household name, and the show was seen as a rare example of a traditional sitcom breaking through in the age of streaming and digital media.<\/p>\n Yet, the glory days of record-breaking audiences have long since faded. In recent years, ratings have dropped significantly. The last time the show appeared in the UK\u2019s top ten Christmas Day programmes was in 2020, when just 3.8 million people tuned in \u2014 a sharp decline from its earlier dominance. Critics argue that the formula has not evolved, leaving the show feeling dated in a time when British comedy has diversified and moved toward sharper, more nuanced storytelling. The crude innuendo, slapstick humour, and sometimes chaotic breaking of the fourth wall are beloved by some but described by others as tiresome and repetitive.<\/p>\n Adding to the controversy, the show faced significant backlash last year after rehearsals for the 2024 Christmas special were halted when a racially charged term was implied during production. The incident prompted widespread criticism and renewed scrutiny of the programme\u2019s content. O\u2019Carroll defended the moment as satirical, explaining that Mrs Brown\u2019s ignorance was intended to reflect generational misunderstandings rather than endorse offensive views. He compared it to the character\u2019s humorous inability to fully grasp her son\u2019s homosexuality, despite loving him deeply. For O\u2019Carroll, comedy should provoke discomfort as well as laughter. Speaking on\u00a0Conversations with Gerry Kelly<\/em>\u00a0on YouTube, he argued: \u201cComedy should offend somebody somewhere. Otherwise, I\u2019m not doing the job.\u201d<\/p>\n This uncompromising philosophy is part of why\u00a0Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/em>\u00a0remains so divisive. For fans, O\u2019Carroll\u2019s irreverent approach is refreshing in a world where comedians are often accused of playing it safe. They see Agnes Brown\u2019s antics in Finglas as a reminder of simpler comedic traditions, a throwback to when sitcoms didn\u2019t shy away from broad gags and outrageous characters. For critics, however, the same qualities are what make the show feel stuck in the past, clinging to jokes that no longer resonate in today\u2019s cultural climate.<\/p>\n O\u2019Carroll himself appears unfazed by the backlash. In one interview, he bluntly dismissed those who dislike his work, saying: \u201cThe ones that love me, I love them, and the ones that don\u2019t, f*** them.\u201d This candid remark epitomises his approach \u2014 one that values the loyal fan base who continue to watch faithfully over the growing chorus of detractors.<\/p>\n Following the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing activist and co-founder of\u00a0Turning Point USA,\u00a0<\/em>his widow, Erika Kirk is continuing his legacy.<\/p>\n Kirk was shot in the neck on Wednesday, September 10,\u00a0during a debate event while speaking before a large crowd at Utah Valley University (UVU).<\/p>\n His\u00a0alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, has since been arrested and \u201cfaces single counts of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and violent offense in the presence of a child, along with two counts each of obstruction of justice and witness tampering,\u201d\u00a0People<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n Charlie Kirk\u00a0and Erika shared two children, a daughter, 2, and a son, just 16 months old.<\/p>\n The widowed mother of two\u00a0addressed the nation days following her husband\u2019s passing, thanking the emergency services who had done everything to save Charlie. She then extended her gratitude to Vice President JD Vance and his wife for bringing Charlie\u2019s coffin home.<\/p>\n She also thanked President Donald Trump, whom Charlie Kirk supported and admired.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Charlie Kirk Show<\/em>\u00a0is not going anywhere,\u201d Erika Kirk\u00a0said. \u201cMy husband\u2019s voice will live on. The show will go on. We will have rotating hosts, rotating casts, rotating people coming on. It is going to be continually the north star of the conservative movement, of the voice of the youth, of the voice of the base, and that will not end.\u201d<\/p>\n She then announced her plans of continuing Charlie\u2019s tour through college campuses nationwide, named the \u201cAmerican Comeback Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll never be silenced,\u201d Erika continued. \u201cThat\u2019s why continuing his platform in a beautiful, honorable way will reinforce that he will never be silenced. My husband\u2019s voice will go on.\u201d<\/p>\n Turning Point USA<\/em>\u00a0is believed to be the \u201clargest Conservative student movement\u201d in the US with groups at more than 3,000 universities and high schools, and Erika Kirk said it is moving \u201cfull steam ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n At her late husband\u2019s memorial in Glendale, Arizona, Erika gave a heartfelt speech. She recalled seeing Charlie Kirk at the hospital after his death and sharing her decision to forgive his killer.<\/p>\n \u201cMy husband, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do,\u201d Erika Kirk said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe answer to hate is not hate,\u201d she added. \u201cThe answer we know from the gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.\u201d<\/p>\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n Bored Daddy<\/p>\n Love and Peace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lizzy Musi, a race car driver who starred in the Discovery Channel’s “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings,” has died a little more than a year after being diagnosed with stage 4\u00a0triple-negative breast…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
