 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

JULIA ROBERTS’ BROTHER PUBLICLY APOLOGIZES FOR SAYING HE MADE HER FAMOUS, SAYS RIFT RUMORS ARE UNTRUE. (PHOTO)


 Julia Roberts’ brother publicly apologizes for saying he made her famous, says rift rumors are untrue


Eric Roberts is putting an end to long-standing speculation about a supposed feud with his sister Julia Roberts. Speaking on April 14, the actor dismissed the idea of any deep rift, saying the narrative was never true. 


He emphasized that while they may have normal family disagreements, they respect and care for each other. 


Roberts praised Julia as both a talented actress and a “wonderful human,” making clear that the rumors of animosity have been exaggerated.


The speculation has lingered for years, partly because the siblings rarely speak about each other publicly, which fueled curiosity. 


Eric explained that they avoid discussing one another in interviews because it often gets twisted into a competition, even though they were never vying for the same roles. 


He stressed that any issues between them are simply day-to-day disagreements, not evidence of a long-running feud.


Roberts’ comments carry added weight given his past missteps. In 2018, he made headlines for claiming Julia and niece Emma Roberts owed their careers to him, a remark he later admitted was self-serving and untrue. 


In his 2024 memoir Runaway Train, he apologized directly to Julia, calling the statement “asinine.” 


His latest remarks, praising her career and character, appear to be a deliberate effort to close the chapter on years of speculation and reaffirm their bond as siblings.
