Martin Short is opening up for the first time about the devastating loss of his daughter, Katherine Short. In an emotional interview, the actor described her death as “a nightmare for the family” while speaking candidly about her years-long struggle with severe mental health issues. Katherine died in February at the age of 42. According to reports from the Los Angeles coroner, her death was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Short said his daughter had been battling mental illness for years and did everything she could to keep fighting.

“Mental health and cancer are both diseases,” he explained, referencing the death of his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2010. “Sometimes with diseases they are terminal.”

He added that Katherine “fought for a long time with extreme mental health, borderline personality disorder, other things, and did the best she could until she couldn’t.”

Katherine was deeply involved in mental health advocacy throughout her career. She worked as a licensed social worker in Los Angeles and supported organizations focused on reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness.

She graduated from New York University with a degree in psychology and gender sexuality studies before later earning a master’s degree in social work from University of Southern California.

She also worked at UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital before moving into private practice.

The interview comes shortly before the release of Short’s upcoming Netflix documentary, Marty, Life Is Short, which looks back at his decades-long career in entertainment.

Over the years, Short has occasionally spoken about grief and loss, especially after the death of Dolman, but this marks one of the first times he has publicly addressed Katherine’s passing directly.

Fans and fellow entertainers have shared condolences online, with many praising Katherine’s advocacy work and the honesty with which Short discussed mental health.

Dwayne Johnson absolutely went off during Kevin Hart’s Netflix roast, and honestly, almost nobody was safe. The actor and former WWE star reunited with his longtime friend and frequent co-star during the live Netflix Is a Joke Fest event in Los Angeles, where he delivered an aggressively raunchy roast packed with insults, inappropriate jokes, and nonstop attacks aimed directly at Hart’s personal life. After making an over-the-top entrance with Queen’s “We Will Rock You” blasting in the background, Johnson immediately started tearing into Hart.

“I know what you’re all assuming, that I’m here to carry another shitty Kevin Hart movie,” Johnson joked before calling Hart his “little chocolate baby bird” and “burnt Oompa-Loompa.”

But things escalated fast once Johnson shifted focus toward Kevin Hart’s wife, Eniko.

“You know who else looks sexy? Kevin’s wife, Eniko,” Johnson said while Hart repeatedly yelled, “What the f—?”

Johnson continued doubling down with increasingly outrageous jokes, claiming Eniko “deserves an Academy Award for pretending she likes to f— you.”

At one point, he even joked about wanting to share tequila with her and implied Hart understood why women liked him because he was “the same size and color as their favorite dildo.”

The audience completely lost it, while Hart looked genuinely stunned throughout parts of the set.

Chelsea Handler also piled onto the chaos by joking that Eniko deserved someone “bigger” than Hart.

And somehow, the jokes only got more insane from there.

Near the end of his set, Johnson joked that he had gotten a “life-size Kevin Hart tattoo” on his genitals and teased Eniko by saying she had “already seen it.”

Hart eventually fired back on stage, asking why Johnson kept bringing his wife into the roast.

Johnson’s response was simple.

“You told me to say anything I wanted.”

The roast quickly exploded online, with clips spreading across social media almost immediately after the livestream aired.

Some viewers thought Johnson completely stole the night, while others felt he crossed the line by repeatedly dragging Hart’s marriage into the jokes.

Still, if there’s one thing people took away from the event, it’s that the chemistry between Johnson and Hart clearly remains intact after years of starring together in movies like Central Intelligence and the Jumanji franchise.

The pair are also set to reunite again later this year for Jumanji: Open World, which is reportedly being promoted as the final installment in the rebooted series.

The Netflix roast featured several other celebrities and comedians, including Pete Davidson, Lizzo, Tom Brady, Tiffany Haddish, Tony Hinchcliffe, Serena and Venus Williams, Regina Hall, and Draymond Green.

But despite the stacked lineup, Dwayne Johnson’s completely unhinged set instantly became one of the most talked-about moments of the entire night.

Celina Jaitly is currently in the news because of her ongoing divorce case with her Austrian husband Peter Haag. On Mother’s Day, the actress shared an emotional post on social media and revealed that she has still not been able to meet or speak to her children despite a court order related to custody and communication.

Sharing an old picture with her sons on Instagram, Celina wrote, “I want to wake from this nightmare… back into my world again…. In a valley of dandelions, where it is just me… & the three hearts that were made from my blood and still beat within mine…..”

She further explained the situation by writing, “This is a picture from last year. My sons have been moved to an undisclosed location. I send them letter-like messages every day, but I have been blocked on WhatsApp and phone calls.”

The actress also accused her husband of keeping the children away from her even after legal directions were given in court. Speaking about the issue, Celina wrote, “Despite an undertaking in front of the honourable court in Austria, the Austrian laws are being manipulated by my husband to stop my children from having any contact with me.”

In the same post, she also spoke about the emotional impact the situation has had on her relationship with her children. She said, “There has been repeated interference with my children’s access to me, including exposure to selective media narratives, resulting in obstruction of regular parent-child communication, as well as brainwashing & intimidation to compel them to say things against me, a mother who has done nothing but care for them since the day they were born, moving from one country to another to support the career of their father.”
