Mariano Regidor/Redferns In a “Valentine’s Day statement” shared on social madie, Antonia Teixeira, the wife of the Lemonheads co-founder Evan Dando addressed the allegations that he had sent a fan unsolicited videos of himself masturbating before being hospitalized for mental health treatment. Teixeira said that in the weeks leading up to the incident, the frontman was “struggling with heavy drinking, prescription drug abuse, and a serious mental health episode.” She said that during this period, Dando “engaged in inappropriate online exchanges.” While Teixeira said he believed he was participating in “consensual sexual messaging,” that belief “does not excuse his behavior” and that she was “not minimizing what happened.” Last week, news broke that a fan identified as “Dawn” on journalist Tony Ortega’s substack, The Underground Bunker, claimed she had reached out to Dando in social media DMs in October to congratulate him on releasing Love Chant, the Lemonheads’ first album of original music since 2006’s The Lemonheads. Dando allegedly replied, “Cool I’m sorry I’m an exhibitionist,” and the following day sent her an unwanted video of himself masturbating. Dando, who lives in Brazil with his wife Antonia Teixeira and is stepfather to Teixeira’s three children, was later admitted to a local hospital to receive help from mental health professionals, his rep previously told Rolling Stone.Teixeira said that she has reached out to the woman who made the allegation to apologize and said, “No one deserves to receive unwanted sexual content, and I am sincerely sorry for the distress this caused.” She said Dando agreed to enter treatment prior to the claims becoming public and is now in rehab to address his substance abuse and mental health. “I have made it clear that continuing treatment is essential, and I will make decisions that protect myself if he does not follow through,” Teixeira continued. “I am not defending his actions. They hurt me deeply. At the same time, I believe addiction and mental illness can lead to destructive behavior that requires accountability and professional help.” She added, “I hope there can be room for both responsibility and compassion as he takes steps toward recovery.” Trending Stories Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Announce ‘Land of Hope and Dreams’ U.S. Tour

Bhooth Bangla promo song to be attached to Dhurandhar: The Revenge: Report

A section of moviegoers is eagerly awaiting the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan in Bhooth Bangla, which is scheduled to release on April 10, 2026. While anticipation around the project continues to build, fans may soon get a glimpse into the film’s world.Industry buzz suggests that a promotional song from Bhooth Bangla could be attached to Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is slated to hit theatres on March 19.According to a report by Mid-Day, a source said, “Akshay and Priyadarshan’s 2007 horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa benefited immensely from its title song, ‘Teri Aankhein Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, which became wildly popular. So, this time, with Pritam having composed another song that has the potential to become a chartbuster, Ektaa felt it would catch on among listeners and create buzz around Bhooth Bangla. Attaching it to Dhurandhar: The Revenge made sense as it’s among the most awaited films.”The source further added, “The song was filmed on a grand scale with Akshay and over 100 background dancers. Given the film’s theme, a set of a spooky mansion was built.”However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the development. Audiences will likely have to wait until Dhurandhar: The Revenge releases in cinemas to see if the promotional strategy materialises.It is also worth noting that Bhooth Bangla has seen multiple release date changes. The film was initially slated for April 3, 2026, before being postponed to May 15 to avoid the anticipated wave around Dhurandhar 2. The makers later finalised April 10, 2026, as the release date, ensuring a relatively comfortable window. Dhurandhar 2 is expected to clash with Yash’s Toxic at the box office.For now, fans await official word on whether the promotional song will indeed be unveiled alongside Dhurandhar: The Revenge.Also Read: Bhooth Bangla has no connection with Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, clarifies T-Series
