Accident

Drew was 20 years old, and a healthy youngster who enjoyed sports. He was playing softball (a game similar to baseball played with a larger ball) with his friends when he was hit in the throat by the ball, fell backwards and hit his head, but didn’t realize that he’d been concussed, so didn’t ask for medical help.

The ball damaged his vocal nerves, and without rapid treatment, his brain never recovered from the damage caused by the fall, so Drew is unable to speak normally even now. He suffers from a stutter or stammer, which is a speech disorder. Drew had a special therapy dog called Stella, that was trained to raise the alarm if Drew has breathing problems because of his throat injury, but sadly his dog died in January 2022.

However, his condition didn’t stop him fulfilling his dream, and his story is a true inspiration for many of his fans.

Love life, wife, and children

After his accident, he lost his self-esteem; the biggest support, besides his family, was his then-girlfriend, whose name he hasn’t shared, however, he spoke about her saying that she was the one who told him to sign for “America’s Got Talent“ audition. He also added: ‘My girlfriend took on three jobs so I could pursue my dreams’.

The two were together for a while after the show ended, but eventually broke up; Drew hasn’t shared the reason for their separation.

Sometime in 2017, he met his future wife, Melanie Sergeiv. She’s a soccer player, born in 1996 in the US, but of Bulgarian descent. The two haven’t shared how they met, but it’s known that they began dating on 16 November 2017. Drew and Melanie exchanged their wedding vows in June 2022; they don’t have children, but they do have a new puppy named Rakia.

Age, height, and net worth

Drew’s age is 31, he has light brown hair and blue eyes; he weighs around 145lbs (65kgs) and is 5ft 4ins (1.63m) tall.

Although he didn’t win “America’s Got Talent“, and so missed out on the $1 million prize, Drew has amassed a modest fortune from his work. According to sources, as of August 2022, his net worth has been estimated at over $2 million, earned largely from his stand-up comedy performances at around $30,000 per night, and he has an annual income from his YouTube channel of about $100,000.

He later deleted the pictures, but the media had already caught hold of them; Sarah has never addressed the rumors concerning their relationship. According to a source speaking to Us Weekly, the official reason for Sarah and Jaden’s split was that ‘They had been on the rocks for a while and stopped having shared interests.’

Sarah and Jaden’s ex-girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, reportedly had some beef. Kylie posted a photo of herself with the caption, ‘KyliefuckingJenner,’ which seemed to be a play on Sarah’s Instagram account handle. Sarah then posted a selfie along with ‘one n only.’ It appeared that their argument did not go beyond that, but fans were well-aware that the girls were taking digs at one another. Before dating Jaden, Sarah went out with fellow model Ian Connor from 2014 to 2015. She has also been linked with NBA Youngboy and Fivio Foreign

In June 2015 – when she was 19 years old – Sarah was accused of stealing a Hermes bag worth $15,995 from a Penny Pinchers store in Bedford, New York. She was arrested and charged with a third-degree count of grand larceny, which she denied. Sarah produced evidence including pictures, cellphone records, and plane tickets to support her alibi that she was in Miami at the time of the crime. Nevertheless, she spent 56 days in jail; following investigations, Sarah was released on the condition that she paid an $8,000 fine.

Soon after her release, Sarah posted a photo to her Instagram page of herself wearing a t-shirt with her mugshot printed on it. The post garnered a lot of likes and even became viral. In February 2016 she told Harper’s Bazaar, ‘I feel no one believes me but my dad. I just feel like it’s a crazy situation. So many people are like, ‘You stole a bag, you’re such a horrible person that you did this.’ I’ve gotten so much hate from this. I’ve been through so much for something I didn’t do.’ On 10 February 2016, the Bedford jurisdiction dismissed Sarah of all charges.

In November 2017 she was seen having dinner at Estiatorio in Manhattan with Leonardo DiCaprio. Paparazzi captured them walking together and laughing, but sources told Page Six that they are ‘just friends’ and were dining with a large group of friends. Sarah wore her hair in braided pigtails and Leonardo was wearing a baseball cap. When the group left the dinner, Leonardo was alone, so they likely weren’t dating.

Sarah was seen snorting a white substance with a rolled-up banknote, and subsequently accused of using drugs. The photo of her supposed use was taken down, and she never addressed the rumors.

As of late 2022, Sarah resides in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and appears to be single.

Published

on

Who is Peter Weller?

American actor, film director and art historian Dr. Peter Francis Weller, was born in Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA, on 24 June 1947 under the zodiac sign of Cancer. He’s appeared in close to 90 movies and TV series, and is perhaps still best known for his playing of the main character Alex Murphy aka RoboCop in the critically acclaimed 1987 action science fiction film “RoboCop”, directed by Paul Verhoeven, and which also starred Dan O’Herlihy and Nancy Allen. It follows the life of a cyborg police officer, and the movie won 11 of its 26 award nominations, which include two Oscar nominations for Best Sound and Sound Effects Editing.

Peter’s still today quite active in the film industry, and is currently shooting for the upcoming episode “The Viewing” of the mystery horror series “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities”.

Education and early life

American attorney and federal judge Frederick Bradford Weller and his American homemaker wife Dorothy Jean (nee Davidson) raised their son Peter in Stevens Points, alongside his sister Ann Weldon; because of Frederick’s job, the family lived in Germany for a couple of years, prior to settling in Texas.

Peter’s passion for acting was born while he was attending Alamo Heights High School; he portrayed lead characters in most of the school plays, and by the time he matriculated in 1965, Peter knew that he would eventually be pursuing a career in the film industry.

He went on to study at North Texas State University, and was interested in several activities during his four years there, including playing the trumpet, acting and sports. Peter was presented with his Bachelor of Arts degree in theatre in 1969, and he then studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

More than three decades later, in 2004, Peter graduated from Syracuse University with a Master’s degree in Roman and renaissance art, and earned his Ph. D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2014.

Peter’s debut film role was his portrayal of Lieutenant Fellows in the 1973 adventure drama “The Man Without a Country. He appeared in only two other movies in the ‘70s: the 1975 drama “The Silence” and the 1979 western comedy “Butch and Sundance: The Early Days”.

He starred as Buckaroo Banzai in the critically acclaimed 1984 adventure science fiction comedy “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”, directed by W. D. Richter, and which also starred John Lithgow and Ellen Barkin.

In 2013, Peter portrayed Marcus in the hit action science fiction adventure “Star Trek Into Darkness”, directed by J. J. Abrams, and which starred Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto.
