Arrest made in connection to robbery of Seattle home of rapper Macklemore
Seattle detectives arrested a man in connection with the June robbery of rapper Macklemore’s home in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill, police said Thursday.
The 29-year-old man, whose name was not released, from Renton, Washington, is expected to face criminal charges related to the home invasion and robbery in the coming days. He was arrested for a separate Seattle robbery after law enforcement served a search warrant at his home on Aug. 21, police said.
Seattle police collaborated with the sheriff’s office in King County, which includes Seattle, and the Renton Police Department, who have been investigating other high-profile burglaries targeting celebrities and sports stars.
The investigation led law enforcement to a jewelry store in south Seattle where multiple items from Macklemore’s home and other homes recently burglarized were found, police said.
Macklemore’s home was robbed on June 7, police said. The rapper’s 22-year-old nanny called 911 to report two men who crept into the home through an unlocked door and attacked her with bear spray. The rapper’s three children were in bed at the time, according to Entertainment Tonight.
The suspects robbed the house and stole thousands of dollars of personal items, including “one very distinguishable Seattle Sounders ring with the owner’s name on it.”
Macklemore is a minority owner of the Seattle Sounders soccer team, according to the club, and has shown his MLS Cup ring in his music videos. In one song, he rapped, “I was supposed to be a one-hit ringer, now I’ve got too many rings and not enough fingers.”

Barbie Ferreira reveals where she stands with ‘Euphoria’ girls after exit
Barbie Ferreira hasn’t lost touch with her Euphoria girls.
In a new interview on the SiriusXM radio show The Morning Mashup published Friday, April 3, the actress — who portrayed Kat — opened up about where she stands with her former co-stars after exiting the HBO series following season 2, three years ago. While promoting her latest work, Ferreira was asked how closely she keeps up with her former colleagues — including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow — now that she’s no longer part of the show.
“Yeah, totally. People always ask me questions about season 3. I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ I don’t even think the girls know,” she said when host Ben Harlum asked how closely she follows the show now, ahead of its season 3 premiere on April 12.
Ferreira, 29, revealed she still chats with her former co-stars but isn’t looped into the details. In fact, she joked about how little even the cast seems to know about upcoming storylines.
“I was like, ‘Is Trisha Paytas in Euphoria?’ And they’re like, ‘I don’t know.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re in it. How did you not know?'” she said. “So, I haven’t seen anything until the trailers this week. They look amazing. I’m excited to see what the girls are gonna do.”
Ferreira has previously addressed speculation surrounding her exit, pushing back on rumors of on-set drama.
“When people ask me about season 2, they come at me like I was some sort of victim to season 2, and I’m always like, ‘No, it’s okay, promise. It’s good,'” she said on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair podcast. “I kind of got sucked into this drama that I never asked to be in and that I’ve never talked about. I’m of the mindset that if it doesn’t exist, I’m not going to address it because then I’m adding fuel to it.”

Blake Lively reacts to harassment claims dismissal against Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively’s legal team has hit back after a federal judge dismissed her sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni, insisting the ruling was a legal technicality rather than any kind of vindication for the It Ends With Us director.
Attorney Michael Gottlieb said in a statement shared with PEOPLE that Lively’s harassment allegations “have always been the beating heart of Ms. Lively’s case. They are why she filed her lawsuit.”
He was clear that the dismissal did not reflect the merits of those allegations.
“The Court’s ruling that Ms. Lively’s state and federal harassment claims could not go to trial was about legal issues rather than an endorsement of the defendants’ conduct,” he said, explaining that the claims were barred on technical grounds, Lively had not signed a contract, was classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee, and the alleged conduct took place in New Jersey rather than California.
Federal judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed ten of the thirteen claims Lively filed against Baldoni on Thursday, 2 April, including the harassment allegations, ahead of the trial scheduled for 18 May in New York.
What remains, breach of contract and a retaliation claim under the Fair Employment and Housing Act against Baldoni’s company Wayfarer Studios, will go before a jury.
Both Lively and Baldoni are expected to testify.
Baldoni’s side wasted no time framing the ruling as a significant win.
His lawyers described themselves as “very pleased” that all harassment claims and every claim against the individual defendants had been dismissed, calling what remained “a significantly narrowed case.”
In a separate statement to TMZ, attorney Bryan Freedman went further.
“Neither Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath nor any of the other defendants have engaged in the sexual harassment of Blake Lively,” he said, adding that his clients had “deserved a vigorous defense which was led through transparency.”
Gottlieb fired back sharply.
“Claiming exoneration based on legal technicalities while facing trial next month tells you everything you need to know,” he said, pointing out that Freedman had not even argued the summary judgment motion he was now publicly spinning, had brought in another firm for the trial, and had been reprimanded by the court the previous week for filing legally frivolous claims.
“What the Court actually decided yesterday is that Blake Lively provided evidence to go to trial on her core claims,” Gottlieb said.
Lively first filed her sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging misconduct on set and a coordinated retaliatory smear campaign, which Baldoni has denied.
Baldoni’s own counterclaims against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, alleging extortion and defamation, were dismissed by the same judge in June 2025, with his legal team choosing not to refile.
