A senior Pentagon official in Donald Trump\u2019s administration had a months-long extramarital affair with a woman claiming to be \u201cthe internet\u2019s most notorious astrologer\u201d \u2013 and claims in a defamation lawsuit filed in Florida that she cyberstalked him and his wife after they split up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court papers in Palm Beach county allege that Amy Tripp<\/strong>, known as Starheal <\/strong>to her tens of thousands of social media followers, was so upset by the end of the relationship that she repeatedly threatened and harassed the victim, identified as Anthony Tata, who assumed office as the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tata <\/strong>\u2013 a 65-year-old former Fox News contributor, retired army brigadier general and author of a series of military-themed novels \u2013 has previously made numerous Islamophobic and inflammatory comments, including calling Barack Obama a \u201cterrorist leader\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tripp, it said, took the breakup badly and began a campaign of harassment that featured hundreds of calls and text messages to Tata and his wife. \u201cDuring these conversations, Ms Tripp threatened that she would \u2018beat the shit\u2019 out of John Doe\u2019s wife, that she was going to ruin both of John Doe and John Doe\u2019s wife\u2019s lives, and that they needed to \u2018watch our backs\u2019,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another message, after Tata\u2019s wife pleaded to be left alone, Tripp is said to have told Tata in a message: \u201cIf your wife texts me again she\u2019s going to be picking her teeth up. Pass it on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nThe Guardian<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A Little Bit about StarHeal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

I’m Amy Tripp, a professional astrologer and licensed therapist whose journey into the stars was unexpected yet profoundly transformative. With a background in psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill and a Master’s degree in Social Work from NYU, astrology wasn’t initially part of my career trajectory. However, a chance encounter with astrology readings sparked a curiosity I couldn’t ignore.<\/p>\nStarheal<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Plastic Surgeons Reveal How Much It Costs To Get A ‘Mar-A-Lago Face’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facelift, eyelid surgery, fillers, Botox, laser treatments, jaw implants … the list goes on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of achieving a Mar-a-Lago Face varies based on the extent of the cosmetic interventions. The fees that plastic surgeons charge for various procedures also differ significantly. Nevertheless, Nykiel estimates that it costs upwards of $90,000<\/strong> to achieve the look, with the cost rising even higher if a woman uses a top, in-demand plastic surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the spending doesn\u2019t end there. Mar-a-Lago Face requires regular maintenance with several procedures and treatments. These ongoing costs easily add up to approximately $625 per quarter, Nykiel said. Plus, the \u201csurgical lifts are typically refreshed every 10 years,\u201d he says. This adds tens of thousands more to the cost of maintaining the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women may chase Mar-a-Lago Face because \u201ca shared aesthetic can say, \u2018I\u2019m one of you,\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m part of the club,\u2019 without ever speaking a word,\u201d Whitmore said. The look can also exude confidence and control, she explained. Whitmore also thinks that the \u201cPalm Beach effect\u201d is partly responsible for the rise of Mar-a-Lago Face among conservative women everywhere \u2014 Mar-a-Lago is located in Palm Beach, where \u201cthe local culture celebrates class and glamour,\u201d she said.<\/p>\nHuffington Post<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
