Get a rundown of Us‘ top stories making headlines in celebrity news, sports and entertainment on September 3, 2026. Here are the key takeaways:
• Kim Zolciak‘s son Kroy “KJ” Biermann has been indicted on seven counts — aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, false imprisonment and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16 — following his August 17 arrest. His attorney Jason Sheffield has maintained his client is “100 percent innocent,” and a court hearing is scheduled for September 9.
• Randy “Rusty” Yates, ex-husband of Andrea Yates, weighed in on the Lindsay Clancy trial as jurors deliberated, telling News Nation that Clancy’s case is “a little murkier” and “not quite as clear” as his ex-wife’s, who drowned her five children in her bathtub. Clancy, who strangled her three children in January 2023, has argued she shouldn’t be held criminally responsible due to mental health struggles, while prosecutor Jennifer Sprague insisted she knew what she was doing.
• The family of Bank of America vice president Erin Piacenti spoke out after she was fatally stabbed in a random Times Square attack on August 31 — her first day back from maternity leave — by Pamela Cisneros, who also stabbed a 68-year-old man before she was shot by police and died. A GoFundMe supporting Piacenti’s 5-month-old daughter, Madison, has raised more than $560,000 of its $750,000 goal.
