Young Thug Says He Won’t Release Music For A Year Because He Wants To Live Like His Deaf Brother

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

  Prince Williams/WireImage Young Thug Isn’t Making Music For A Year, And Here’s Why Young Thug always has some pretty interesting reasoning to his actions, but his latest announcement might take the cake. After announcing just a few days prior that he wants fans to call him by his new name, “SEX,” he’s now saying that he’s taking a year off music–and he explained why he’s doing so. Thugger told fans that he isn’t planning on releasing any music until 2019 out of respect for his brother. “I’ve got a deaf brother,” he told  Hypebeast  during an interview. “I’ve got a brother who can’t hear or talk, so I want to act deaf for a year. So I ain’t going to put out no music this year.” The rapper explained that he plans to return with his  highly-anticipated  Hi-Tunes  project after that stint of not releasing anything saying, “in 2019, I’m going to put out probably  Hi-Tunes. ” It’s pretty common knowledge that Thug has been in the studio a lot lately, so it’ll be interesting to see if he stays with not releasing music, or if he comes back sooner than 2019. You can watch the whole minute-long interview below to hear Thugger’s thoughts on fashion and not releasing any music out of respect for his brother. Continue reading →

Lawsuits: Engineer Calls Out Google’s Mayo Male Privilege Work Culture, Axed For “Discrimination Toward White Men”

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

Stock Image From Getty Former Google Engineer Sue’s Over Wrongful Termination A former Google engineer is accusing the company of firing him after he spoke out about incidents of racism, sexism and harassment in a employee forum according to a new lawsuit. Mashable reports that the employee who identifies as disabled, queer and transgender, Tim Chevalier, is suing Google for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. Tim called the environment at Google in 2015  “overwhelmingly” of cisgender white men — and that “its workplace culture reflected their views.” Chevalier says he advocated for the rights of women and minorities in order to push back on the online bullying he regularly witnessed on Google’s forums, in order to make Google a more habitable place for him, as well as other minorities but, instead was told to hold off on his thoughts because that “wasn’t what he was hired for.” So what did White Men Googlers do that was so foul? Chevalier says employees openly questioned the competency of women and minorities on internal message boards. They also allegedly allowed employees to openly call coworkers “immoral” because of their sexual orientation. Chevalier’s lawyer called the company’s social networking system “a cesspool of bullying and harassment.” Yikes. Three other employees have been found in Google’s HR docs to have been terminated for being “discriminatory toward White men” — What. Are. The. Odds? Google is simultaneously facing a gender wage discrimination suit according to CNN.  They need to get it together! Continue reading →

Amanda Bynes to Remain in Mental Health Facility Until 2015?

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Amanda Bynes’ mental illness is severe enough that the troubled actress may end up staying in facility for a year and a half, according to a new report. Her lawyer was in a New York City court today asking for a postponement for up to 18 months while the star continues to receive psychiatric treatment. Everything we’ve heard up until now has indicated that she may be hospitalized for awhile, but this report is the first we’ve heard suggest 2015. Today’s hearing stems from Bynes’ arrest for allegedly throwing a bong out the window of her apartment and onto a Manhattan street this year. Her lawyer, Gerald Shargel, echoed the sentiments of the attorney in Bynes’ 2012 DUI case, who argued that Amanda is mentally unfit to stand trial . That lawyer, Rich Hutton, told a judge that his client “does not have the mental capacity” to understand the nature of the proceedings or the consequences. Assuming that’s true, and you have to believe it is based on what we know about Amanda Bynes ‘ actions in the past 18 months, it’s both amazing and sad. The judge transferred the matter to the mental health court. Amanda Bynes Faces Long-Term Hospitalization According to TMZ, it’s likely the bong-tossing case will likely end in a plea bargain and be dropped altogether, thus making her competency a moot point. The DUI case could be a different story, as the case against her is stronger and the alleged crime more serious. In any case, she’s not being tried anytime soon.

Casey Anthony Deemed Competent to Stand Trial

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Casey Anthony trial resumed this morning after a judge ruled that the 25-year-old accused murderer from Orlando is competent to stand trial. The trial was abruptly put on hold over the weekend after the judge said a “legal matter” had come up. That matter was Anthony’s mental state. Defense lawyers filed a motion to determine her competency to proceed, and after three psychologists found her competent , the trial goes on. Casey, who is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, in 2008, has pleaded not guilty. She faces the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors allege Anthony killed her daughter by using chloroform and suffocating her with duct tape, then leaving her lifeless body in the woods. Casey Anthony’s defense hinges on the theory that Caylee accidentally drowned, that Anthony and her father, George, covered up the accident. George’s prior sexual abuse of Casey when she was a child factored into this poor judgment, her lawyers have posited, to much controversy. Caylee’s remains were found in December 2008, almost six months after she was reported missing, in a wooded area not far from her home. On Friday, Casey’s attorneys showed jurors photos of Caylee climbing a ladder into a pool as her grandmother, Cindy Anthony , supported her. Cindy testified that Caylee could’ve climbed into the pool herself , and also said that she, not Casey, searched for several suspicious terms online.
