Canadian musician Grimes has made a public plea to her former partner, billionaire Elon Musk, urging him to address what she describes as a pressing medical crisis involving one of their three children. In a series of now-deleted posts on X, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, expressed frustration over Musk’s lack of response to her private attempts to contact him.
"Please respond about our child’s medical crisis," she wrote. "I’m sorry to bring this up publicly, but ignoring the situation is no longer an option. This needs immediate attention."

Grimes did not specify the nature of the medical issue but emphasised its urgency, warning that their child could suffer "lifelong harm" if it is not addressed promptly. She also urged Musk to either communicate with her directly or appoint someone to handle the matter.
"If you don’t want to talk to me, can you at least designate or hire someone to handle this? It’s urgent, Elon," she added.

She further claimed that Musk had ignored texts, calls, emails, and meetings regarding the issue.
The couple, who began dating in 2018, share three children: X Æ A-Xii (4), Exa Dark Sideræl (3), and Techno Mechanicus (2). It remains unclear which child Grimes was referring to in her posts.
This is not the first time Grimes has publicly criticised Musk’s handling of their co-parenting responsibilities. Earlier this month, she called him out for taking their eldest son, X Æ A-Xii, to a high-profile White House event without informing her. "He shouldn’t be in public like this," she wrote at the time, reacting to event photos circulating online.
Musk, who has fathered at least 13 children with multiple partners, has yet to publicly respond to Grimes’ latest appeal. This situation has reignited discussions about the challenges of co-parenting with a high-profile figure.
Social media users remain divided on the issue. Some sympathised with Grimes, arguing that she had no choice but to go public, while others criticised her for airing private family matters online. Some also speculated whether Musk intentionally avoids direct communication with his ex-partners.
Adding to the ongoing drama, conservative author Ashley St. Clair recently claimed on X that she had a child with Musk, adding yet another layer of complexity to his personal life.
As the situation unfolds, Grimes’ public plea raises larger questions about parental responsibilities, privacy, and the difficulties of co-parenting when one parent is among the world’s most powerful figures. For now, the focus remains on whether Musk will respond and if action will be taken to resolve the medical crisis.
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
