Inside Edition for Tuesday, October 14, 2025

Oscar weekend is here, and if you see certain winners on stage Sunday holding their gold statues upside down...it's not an accident. It's all part of a protest against a decision made by the Motion Picture Academy. And it was an attempt to keep the peace during spring break. A strict curfew was enforced on Miami Beach last night after five people were hospitalized in separate shootings last weekend. But did the curfew work? Plus, if you think Russian leader Vladimir Putin is unaware of Western pop culture think again. In an address to the Russian people he actually mentioned Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling, saying the world is trying to cancel Russia like they tried to cancel Rowling. Les Trent reports. And Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was discharged from the hospital today, a week after being admitted with an infection. His release comes as his wife Ginni finds herself in the news for texts she wrote urging an overturn of the 2020 election. So what do we know about Mrs. Clarence Thomas?

Carjackings have been on the rise in cities across America...but this is one of the most shocking. Police say a 73-year-old grandmother was attacked in her car by four teens and ended up being dragged to her death.

She admits she gave out the wrong medication leading to a patient's death but says it was an accident. Now as Megan Alexander reports, she's on trial charged with reckless homicide. Plus, it's prince William and Kate's first official overseas trip in years, but it's not without controversy.

It could be another terrifying night for people in the south, as that devastating storm system that wreaked havoc on Texas continues across the Southeast. At least 20 tornados were reported…and many of them formed so quickly people had literally seconds to take shelter. And police in New York City today arrested a 26-year-old woman and charged her with shoving an 87-year-old beloved vocal coach - who later died. The suspect turned herself into police just days after this very detailed photo of her was circulated on social media. Plus, it’s time to end the party. That's the word from police in Miami Beach where a state of emergency is in effect after spring break violence got so out of hand that five people were shot over the weekend. And the guy who's fed up with the high prices caused by shoplifters. When he saw a guy he thought was skipping out without paying…he tried to make sure he wasn't going anywhere. Now Jim Moret reports the guy who thought he was stopping crime worries he may face charges himself.

He's got the respect of the whole world...so why wouldn't the Oscar Academy want Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to appear via video link at the award ceremony this upcoming weekend? Comedienne Amy Schumer, one of three ladies hosting, says she pitched the idea but the producers said no thanks. Jim Moret has more. And we've shown you that video of Arnold Schwarzenegger sending a message to the Russian people. Well, turns out Arnold is a huge star to the Soviets. His nine minute video has now gone viral in Russia - despite the Kremlin’s best efforts to censor anyone speaking the truth about the invasion. Plus, it's a big day in Washington as confirmation hearings begin for President Biden's Supreme Court justice pick - Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson...poised to become the first Black woman on the nation's highest court. On hand was Senator Ted Cruz who almost didn't make it - after having a confrontation at an airport ticket counter. And he makes a living writing superhero comic books - but little did he know he'd become a real-life hero himself - after he stepped in to help a young girl he says was being attacked by a gang of teens. Les Trent has more on this case of life imitating comic book art.

An apartment complex in Kyiv was hit by Russian rockets today in what’s become a daily assault on civilian installations. The attack came as Vladimir Putin defiantly staged a rally in Moscow. But right in the middle of Putin's speech, the broadcast cut away to something completely different. Steven Fabian has details. And we've all heard the saying "music has charms to soothe the savage beast.” Might it also have the power to stop a war? As Jim Moret reports, across the world violinists are banding together to make a statement. Meantime over in NCAA women's swimming, Lia Thomas won gold - which has reignited a national debate. That’s because Lia was born male. After three years competing on the University of Pennsylvania men's team, she underwent hormone replacement therapy and is now on the women's team - swimming faster than any other female college swimmer. And a popular vocal coach has died after being shoved on a New York City street and authorities want the public's help in finding her alleged assailant.

Barely a week into his five month sentence for faking an attack on himself, former Empire actor Jussie Smollett is a free man. Smollett walked out of jail last night…after an appellate court said he could be free while he appeals his case. Les Trent has details of how Smollett spent his brief time behind bars. And the war in Ukraine has hit home for one American family. A 28-year-old from Minnesota was teaching English there when war broke out...and when he tried to leave, he was stopped by the Russians. Steven Fabian spoke with his worried mother. Plus, there was more bloodshed in Ukraine today. 21 people were killed when rockets slammed into a town in the western part of the country. Meantime in Russia, food shortages at grocery stores are leading to fights. And, for the first time in two years…Saint Patrick’s Day is not just a day to wear the green…but also to get out and celebrate. Around the country, parades have been stepping down the center of town, and bars are having their best business in ages.

Outrageous, horrific, barbaric. There are not adjectives strong enough to describe the reaction to the latest carnage in Ukraine…where ten ordinary citizens standing in a bread line were reportedly killed when Russian soldiers opened fire. The massacre happened just hours before Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a stirring address to a joint session of Congress. And as Russia escalates its assault…Vladimir Putin's fear of assassination seems to grow as well. As Steven Fabian reports, he's allegedly poisoned his own adversaries in the past, and seems to fear he might endure the same fate. Plus, back here at home, the recent spike in gas prices has put a real crimp in many people's wallets. And while oil prices have slipped back down, some people don’t want to be caught short if prices keep rising. But, as Jim Moret tells us, hoarding gasoline can be dangerous. And she was the shelter dog named Ruby that no one wanted...now she's a bona fide hero.
