A twist in the Cornell 7 case fronts fifteen TMZ uploads

The same day brought a Lil Nas X tease built on a recording of his late mother and a coffee commercial from Dolly Parton's brand released weeks after her death.

The Cornell case led. Of the fifteen videos TMZ posted this week, the most watched is a TMZ Live segment titled "TMZ Reports Dramatic Twist In Cornell 7 Case...", which passed 45,000 views in its first eight hours. The TMZ Podcast followed the story the same day with an episode on the latest developments in the Cornell case, which its title describes as an alleged gang rape case. Neither title names anyone involved, and this note does not either.

The day's full newsroom stream, with Harvey Levin and the staff working through the top stories, sits right behind the Cornell segment. Two shorter items went up on September 30 as well. One shows Lil Nas X teasing a new song, 'World's Greatest,' which uses a recording of his late mother. The other covers a commercial for Dolly's Cup of Ambition Coffee, released weeks after Dolly Parton's death. A segment titled "Diddy Is Done." arrived the same afternoon.

Across the channel, daily views are running about two and a half times their usual level. Several news channels close to TMZ in size are also busier than normal, and The New York Times is the one furthest above its own usual pace. CBC News is among the few running quieter than usual.
