Kierra Coles’ Mother Addresses Rumors That Boyfriend Is Involved In Her Disappearance

P ostal worker,  Kierra Coles , 26, has been missing since October 2.

She passed her car, went across the street and disappeared out of the frame. Coles was also three months pregnant. Her mother, Karen Phillips, recently sat down for an interview WGCI 107.5 Radio. SEE ALSO: Black Mother Speaks Out: Girls And Women Are Turning Up Missing In Chicago Phillips said, “I felt something was wrong. I had been calling her all that day on Wednesday (Oct. 3). I said maybe she had forgot her charger and her phone is dead. So when I started calling her on Thursday it was going to voicemail. I just didn’t feel right. I went over to her house to call the police for them to do a well-being check because I had seen her car. So I said, okay she’s probably just in there, maybe she’s asleep or – I don’t know, I just didn’t feel right.” Phillips did say the Chicago police department has been conducting an investigation, along with the postal inspector, she explained, “The postal inspector, he has been calling and checking in saying, ‘We are doing all we can. There’s things that we can’t tell you right now, but we’re doing all we can.’ I’m just guessing they just want to have facts together, they don’t want to give me bits and pieces.” Karen also addressed the rumor that her boyfriend killed Kierra, she said, “I don’t think he was involved.” Her sister, Keshia Phillips, who was also in the studio said, “We’re not singling anybody out. We know he is going to be a suspect, but as far as people putting his mother, his kids — all that stuff up there — that’s just not right. We’re not asking nobody to do that, that’s not the type of help that we’re looking for.” Watch the interview below. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering $28,000 for information about Coles’ disappearance, the Chicago Tribune reports. “At this point, anything is possible,” said the postal inspection services’ spokesperson Julie Kenney . “We’re just looking for information.” It’s Been 4 Days My Heart Is Aching!!!

Racist History Of Beauty Pageants Highlighted By Mrs. America Controversy

A group of Mrs. America contestants’ complaints of racism about the pageant CEO and co-founder may open the floodgates for more allegations to come in the future. The complaints already have re-opened the door to the racist history of beauty pageants. RELATED:  Beauty Queen Stoned To Death For Being In Pageant Black women have historically been shut out of pageants and forced to create their own contests. Members of this same group found themselves shut down again, saying that  David Marmel made disparaging comments about African-Americans at the Mrs. America competition in Las Vegas in August. Four contestants — three Black and one white — called out Marmel for racist remarks that included him having repeatedly hurled the N-word. Marmel also allegedly said that Black women “need to stop having so many babies,” the women said during a press conference Monday. His other alleged offenses included saying that Black men were “drug dealers, incarcerated in jail, on welfare and killing each other.” Mrs. Delaware Kimberly Phillips , Mrs. New Jersey Crissy Timpson , Mrs. Ohio Jeri Ward and Mrs. Missouri Brandy Palacios made clear their feelings, with the help of high-profile women’s rights lawyer  Gloria Allred , USA Today reported. Four former Mrs. America contestants say the pageant's co-founder and president said that black women “need to stop having so many babies” and black men “need to stop shooting each other.” https://t.co/IVWf89gXJx — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) October 16, 2018 Adding insult to injury, the women also called out Marmel for allegedly having compared his skin tone to the Black contestants. The women reportedly don’t plan to file a lawsuit. Instead, they want an apology from Marmel and equal treatment for contestants. However, a lawsuit would be a likely move based on the claims and the painful history of racism in beauty pageants. It was 50 years ago that protesters and feminists took on the Miss America pageant to fight for women for the first time since the pageant’s creation in 1921, according to the Smithsonian . They were sick and tired of the pageant’s vain and oppressive standards of judging women on their appearance and white skin: “Rule 7″ stated that Miss America contestants had to be “of good health and of the white race” before it was thrown out in 1940. At the time of the protest in 1968, a Black woman had not been crowned winner nor invited to participate in the pageant. Black women didn’t wait for an invite; they created their own pageants. The first-ever Miss Black America pageant was born as a result of the mainstream pageant blackout that same year as the protest. The inaugural pageant celebrated Blackness as beautiful — a message that still gets lost in translation in those same spaces today. The Mrs. American contestants’ stories about Marmel indicated that some mainstream pageants were still not as inclusive as needed.

Via NY Post: A cop who responded to the scene of Whitney Houston’s death peeked at her naked body and made lewd comments, according a report last night. Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Terry Nutall allegedly removed the covering from Houston’s body below her “pubic region” and remarked, “Damn, she’s still looking good, huh?” the Los Angeles Times said, citing a complaint filed by a fellow police officer.

Paula Deen Extortion Plot Leads to Man’s Arrest By FBI

Officials from the FBI arrested a man in NYC Friday morning after he allegedly tried to extort $250,000 from embattled celebrity chef Paula Deen. He threatened to release “true and damning” statements made by Deen unless she paid up, according to a federal criminal complaint filed in Georgia. Deen’s attorney went immediately to the FBI after she received both an email and follow up phone call from a man named Thomas Paculis. The complaint claims Paculis threatened to go public with information he claimed with bring hardship and financial ruin to Paula Deen. According to the FBI, Paculis’ email to Paula ‘s attorney read: “I am about to go public with statements refuting your clients statements about using the ‘N’ word in her business practices at Lady and Son’s.” “The statements are true and damning enough that the case for [ Lisa Jackson , the plaintiff suing Deen for discrimination] will be won on it’s merit alone.” The email went on to say there is a price for such information. The revelation that Deen had used the n-word , which came from a leaked deposition she gave as part of Jackson’s lawsuit, came to light just days before. Paculis was taken into custody and will appear in court July 16. As for the lawsuit, Deen wants it dismissed on grounds that Jackson’s claims are bogus – along with her stated reasons for being discriminated against. It is not clear how Deen’s racial slur admission ever went public.
