Jon Gosselin: Kate is Exploiting Our Kids for Cash!

Reports have said that Kate Gosselin is worried that Jon might expose her toxic parenting on his own show with Hannah and Collin. It turns out that she needn’t have worried. Jon is against his kids appearing on film, and he doesn’t need a reality gig to expose Kate for what she is. Jon says that Kate is violating a court’s decision by having the kids film, all so that she can exploit them for money to fund her lifestyle. In 2018, the Department of Labor declined to grant Kate the permits that she and TLC wanted. Why? Because both the department and a judge concluded that it was not in the best interests of her minor children to film for Kate Plus 8 . And yet Kate and the network continued to film Kate’s (remaining) minor children, both at home and on location in North Carolina. Speaking to TheDailyMailTV , Jon Gosselin unloads his frustrations that his ex is breaking rules about their kids just to rake in more money. “I’m furious,” he expresses. “Absolutely furious.” “[The network] didn’t care,” Jon Gosselin laments. “It’s really upsetting that big businesses and big corporations go do whatever they want, against a parent’s legal right,” he despairs.. “The judge and the guardian ad litem both agreed that it wasn’t in my children’s best interests to be filmed,” Jon points out. A guardian ad litem is appointed by a judge to evaluate a child’s welfare as an outsider who then reports findings to a judge. Jon continues: “but my ex-wife and TLC had other ideas.” “They put profits and ratings ahead of the well-being of my children,” Jon accuses. He continues furiously: “and filmed illegally without work permits.” “They literally don’t care,” Jon says. “They’ll pay the fine.” He hates that “big business will do whatever they want to do because they have the money to pay all the fines.” Any crime or violation that is payable by fine, from parking to filming without a permit, just means legal for rich people . Remember that. “This is all about money,” Jon notes. “This is a fiduciary thing.” He accuses: “This has nothing to do with anything else other than Kate’s lifestyle, not the kids’ lifestyle.” “Go get a job,” he indirectly tells Kate. “Support your own family.” “It’s disgusting,” he bemoans. “My kids work for her lifestyle.” “Kate does nothing,” Jon continues. “Zero. Absolutely nothing.” in September, Jon spoke of how toxic and damaging a household Kate has built for the children still under her “care.” “I do know what [Kate’s] capable of, whether it’s mental or physical [abuse],” Jon stated grimly. The whole world has known for many years that Kate is a monster. Jon points out that Hannah and Collin left a lot behind just to escape. “I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind,” he noted. “They left fame and money and came to my house,” he emphasized. “They left it all behind.” He also says that, actually, none of his kids really want to be reality stars. “They have all said they have to film because they feel they need to provide a lifestyle for their mother,” Jon revealed. “They don’t want to film,” he claimed. “They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking.” “Why do my kids need to provide for themselves?” he asks. “They’re kids.” That is an extremely fair question. A lot of terrible parents exploit their children for reality fame. Networks profit from it. One day, laws need to be passed to prevent this sort of thing, be it Gosselins or Duggars or Teen Moms.

MODEL MONDAY: Nicque Marina Went From The Air Force To Fashion Week By Following MadameNoire

Excerpt from:

Source: Soils Puoane / CurvyNoire Name: Nicque Marina  IG: @nicquemarina Agency: Seeking Representation  Claim to Fame: Marina appeared in this year’s CurvyNoire NYFW event. She has also performed in critically acclaimed off-Broadway productions and is about to launch a cabaret act. Years before she pressed send on her submission to be featured in New York Fashion Week Nicque Marina envisioned herself as a star. “I’d done some modeling when I was younger I did theater and stuff when i was in high school. It was more like print stuff, like way back in the 90s ,” Marina told Hello Beautiful , in an exclusive interview about what happens when a dream refuses to be deferred.  Source: Soils Puoane / CurvyNoire The model and singer sought an education that brought her to unlikely places and tucked her talent right along in her suitcase. “I joined the military mostly out of necessity  ‘cause that was the only way I was gonna go to college. So I went to the Air Force Academy because they gave me a full ride and I just kept on performing even though I was in the Air Force . I just kept on seeking opportunities and I never let that go.” Serving in the Air Force gave Marina a chance to sharpen her skills and pick up some new ones. View this post on Instagram Christmas in the sand :p A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Dec 16, 2015 at 4:43am PST “When I was traveling, my job actually for the Air Force was to be a singer. I worked for air force entertainment. I was in a group it was a traveling show of Air Force members and we performed for other Air Force members around the world and so yea we were pretty much required to be in makeup all the time and look like Miss America all the time. But we also we were the load in and load out crew. I was in charge of constructing the stage and overseeing that and so we were doing all this heavy labor. We were screwing things together, we were doing a lot of heavy lifting and we had to be in makeup all the time. We were in heavy makeup all the time we had to look pristine and perfect while doing all of this real rough stuff.”  The strenuous experiences prepared her for what many models have learned while enduring the realities of fashion week. “You have to be pleasant and smiling all the time, even though you’re sleep deprived and tired and you just don’t wanna smile anymore.”  View this post on Instagram Minneapolis was real, but time to get back to work in The Greatest City in the World. A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Aug 4, 2019 at 3:01pm PDT It was a revelatory time for her.  “I was based out of Grand Forks, North Dakota but I traveled pretty much world wide I’ve been to like sixteen countries I deployed during Christmas time to the Middle East . We were in Kuwait, Jordan, Djibouti, Qatar and United Emirates quite a few places.”  It pushed her physical and spiritual abilities to the limit, and forced her to expand her ideas of womanhood . “It was a struggle to keep your femininity and also do all these really rough jobs, but I think it gave us a better sense of our femininity. Like to be able to feel empowered to look pretty and dance, and sing, and everything but also be there right alongside the guys. You know throwing things into the truck and putting set cases together setting up lights and everything it made no difference and so I think that was really cool.”  She found strength as apart of the group but sadly she did not find true community there even after returning to the United States . “I’ve been in North Dakota for a long time and there’s not really a lot of diversity there.”  View this post on Instagram Trying to make this monster migraine loom sexy A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Nov 9, 2017 at 8:13pm PST Marina remained engaged with media sources that catered to black women including Madame Noire and Hello Beautiful when she could and soon she saw an opportunity to comment with the outlets offline through a model search opportunity.   “I didn’t expect much to come of it I just sent an application and said okay we’ll see what happens,” she shared.  “I’m a reader of the site I follow MadameNoire on Facebook and I read a lot of their stuff day to day and I come across their traffic site quite often and I just happened to see that and I decided to go for that. I think it’s really cool highlighting all these different women some that we’ve heard of a little bit and then some we haven’t heard of just learning about their stories the unique things that they’ve had to overcome and their unique journey because there’s no one journey to success.”  “It was really it was really cool to be around Black women again and like so many beautiful, beautiful, confident, women! The energy was palpable and it was really refreshing to be in that environment,” she said about her experience at CurvyNoire.  Maui Bigelow and MadameNoire gave her an experience that she was missing while in uniform.  “I haven’t been able to do that in a really long time.”  Sitting on the smaller end of the plus-size spectrum, she wasn’t sure she would be selected. “I’m not the largest or curviest person especially compared to those models but I’m definitely heavier than I had been before.”  Engaging in a space dedicated to body positivity, where she was celebrated for her beauty meant alot to her after being criticized for gaining weight.    View this post on Instagram So this happened this weekend!

A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Sep 15, 2019 at 6:57am PDT “I’ve been told like that I need to lose weight and everything before I seek an agent and thats been kind of disheartening,” she revealed.  “It was more about being able to be confident in my body as it was at that moment and so it felt pretty cool to be able to step out and feel okay about it.”  View this post on Instagram Can't believe this actually happened. Praise the Lord for the great things He has done . #54below A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Sep 17, 2019 at 3:37am PDT The next place Marina will be stepping out in the stage. After appearing in the show “Rebirth of Rabbit’s Foot”, she is preparing for her own cabaret act, and continuing to find places to promote her talent. “I’m just looking for more opportunities to perform and get out there.”   DON’T MISS:  MODEL MONDAY: Althea Smith Doesn’t Want To Be Anyone’s Token MODEL MONDAY: Lana Ogilvie Went From The First Black Covergirl To Skincare CEO MODEL MONDAY: Tiffany’s Flame Wants To Shine A Light On All Bodies [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3058694″ overlay=”true”]

The Inspiration To Create ‘Hair Love’ Came From The Lack Of Representation Of Black Father & Daughters

More here:

Source: Sony Pictures Animation / Sony Pictures Animation When the visuals for Matthew A. Cherry’s Hair Love came across our computer screen, we rejoiced at imagery that showed a Black father and daughter in such a positive light. It was the representation we rarely see, even if it is a cartoon. MUST READ:  Animated Short Film ‘Hair Love’ Celebrates Black Father & Daughter Relationships Hair Love , an animated short film about a father who takes on the battle of doing his daughter’s hair, will premiere ahead of The Angry Birds 2 movie in theaters this weekend, broadcasting the image in front of millions of children and families. We caught up with director Matthew A. Cherry and producer Peter Ramsey, who both opened up about creating the animated short and why it is important for all to see. HelloBeautiful: What inspired you to create Hair Love? Matthew:  I was seeing a lot of viral videos of African-American dads doing their daughter’s hair hitting the timeline and I always like to share family friendly stuff like that. They were going extra viral, 100K retweets, and I would always share videos of moms interacting with their kids too and it would do OK but never as big as that. Obviously they were cute videos but I would come to learn later that part of it was that people weren’t used to seeing these images of African-American fathers doing these type of interactions with their kids (especially when the hair would be moving and breaking rubber bands and hitting dad in the eye). The idea of hair having a mind of its own was the linchpin that created this idea. HB: How does it feel to finally have your work being shown on such a massive platform after so much work to get it made and funded? Matthew:  It’s kind of surreal. This literally started with an idea through Kickstarter and for it to be a New York Times best selling book and now about to be in theaters across the country is pretty crazy. It’s definitely surreal. I just really hope that it inspires other creators. Sometimes i think we waste so much time reaching out to people thinking that they have to help us with our ideas and help move them forward and sometimes all you have to do is put it out there and take that risk and bet on yourself and trust that you can raise the money yourself and get the idea to other likeminded creatives that will be able to help you with it and bring it to market. HB: How was it for you to be involved in the short film and taking on the role as Executive Producer? How was that process for you?  Peter: It was great because from minute one, I believed in Matthew. I knew he was a really talented, energetic, inspiring guy in his work and in his life. I got to see the story he wanted to tell and it felt like it was right for the time, its got its heart in the right place, it’s going to really speak to people, all of those things made it really easy for me. Really I’ve just been a cheerleader. I’ve just been doing whatever I could, whether it’s advice or encouragement or whatever little thing I could offer to help move it down the line. It’s Matthew and a fantastic team of really talented people working on it that have really brought it to life. Matthew:  Yeah, Bruce Smith, Everett Downing, Stacey Newton, Monica Young, Karen Toliver. It’s a great team. Peter : It’s been a whole lot of work and whole lot of love What did you learn about fatherhood in the process?  Peter:  I have three kids. I’ve experienced a lot of moments like this. I think from this film specifically, the thing that jumps out at me is a lot of it is about people supporting each other in family. You can see everybody in this family in some way shape or form has supported each other. It’s about the idea of a father listening to his daughter and her communicating something that’s really important to her and him understanding why it’s so important and doing what he can to help her express who she is and what she feels. I think that’s a huge part of what drives this movie and makes it feel special. It might not be something you think about watching it but that’s what’s under the surface. That part of a parent/child relationship I think is something people need to pay a lot of attention to and think about that because even the smallest kid is still a real person deserving respect and being allowed to express themselves. Catch  Hair Love in theaters August 13. RELATED STORIES: Cornrows, Feed-Ins And Fulani Braids, Oh My!

Ricky & Morty Creators Offer Real Life Cartoon Character Kanye West His Own Episode

Read more from the original source:

Source: Bruce Glikas / Getty Kanye West right now is a walking cartoon, so this offer might be right up his alley. West, who is a well-known superfan of the Adult Swim animated sitcom Rick & Morty got an offer from the show’s creators to pen and star in his own episode. Creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland gushed over the idea of having Yeezy come through and sprinkle some of his “free thinking” on one of the 70 episodes given to them by Cartoon Network which just recently announced the show will return November 2019. When asked about getting MAGA Ye involved with the show by The Blast , the showrunners added: “We fucking love Kanye, man.[He’s] a kindred spirit, genius, visionary. If that guy had the support to do all the ideas he has in his head, it would be fucking Elon Musk 2.0.” Yeah, we don’t know about all of that, but Harmon followed that up by saying that Chicago rapper is “always welcome” with Roiland extending the invite to Ye for him to lend his voice to the show. Harmon who probably knows how much that Kanye likes to be hands-on with anything he is involved took things even farther: “I’m giving him an episode, I’m making it official. We have 70! He can have one. Kanye, you can have an episode.”  Roiland added even more flair to the invite by asking Yeezy to hang out with them and joining them in penning an episode. “Come hang out, write a  Rick & Morty  episode with us. It’ll be the Kanye episode. I’m so down. That would be fucking amazing, actually.” Kanye’s admiration for Rick & Morty is no secret, he Tweeted as much expressing his excitement for sitcoms return for its fourth season and fan art of himself and his wife Kim Kardashian West animated Rick & Morty style. pic.twitter.com/9cTZmASBkT — ye (@kanyewest) October 23, 2018 https://t.co/eUnzwhr72z       This is the greatest news      This is my favorite show     I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times each — ye (@kanyewest) May 10, 2018 It’s a safe bet that this will indeed happen, but it wouldn’t be the first time Kanye guest starred on an animated show. We cannot forget his unofficial casting on South Park back in 2009 which blasted the rapper, by mocking his love for autotune, fish sticks and monster ego. West took to his blog to clap back at the Comedy Central raunchy cartoon for its portrayal of him on the show. This time around, given that he will have creative control, he will be able to paint his own narrative. Photo: Bruce Glikas / Getty

All Charges Dropped Against Jussie Smollett

Jussie appeared outside the courthouse to give a press conference to awaiting fans, who complimented the embattled thespian. “How you feel Jussie? You feel good? You look good! You look good!” one fan yelled. Jussie took selfies with fans before addressing the controversy.

He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgement. Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions,” the statement continued. “This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion.

Alfre Woodard Stars In Netflix’s ‘Juanita’ & Shows That Women Of A Certain Age Still Got It

Read the original post:

It’s rare to see women of a certain age in a leading role like the lead character in Netflix’s Juanita. Alfre Woodard stars as the down home “ghetto” grandmother, who abandons her caretaker role to go on an life-defining adventure. She finds new love, has great sex and rediscovers what it is to put herself first. “Women tend to put themselves last. They put their needs behind their kids, their lovers, the co-workers or whoever it is,” Alfre Woodard explained during a candid conversation on our interview series “In This Room.” “We are made of strong stuff. And we always think ‘I can take it, I don’t know if he can take it’ I don’t know if she can take it, but I can take it.” But Alfre’s father offered her this piece of advice. “Just because you can don’t mean you need to!” If you haven’t watched Juanita yet, the seasoned and hunky Blair Underwood plays an interesting role and appears often in his underwear. According to Alfre, it was her husband’s idea (he wrote the screenplay) to use the handsome actor. “He said, I need a way in and I can’t quite find it. I hear him holler one day and he says ‘I got it. I got it. Juanita is low-woman on the totem pole. Working class, woman of color. Black woman. Everybody looks past her on the bus, everywhere. But every woman has a fantasy– Blair Underwood is her fantasy man. And he’s trifling because the working woman can’t get a break.” After one quick phone call, Blair Underwood agreed to do the movie and the rest was history. Watch Alfre talk about Juanita above.

Who Hurt You? Daniel Caesar Issues A Moronic Mea Culpa For “The Way He Expressed” His Heada$$ Belief About Black People

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Daniel Caesar Tries To Apologize For Comments About Black People Last week we deep-fried drunken and sunken Daniel Caesar for the self-loathing comments he made about how Black folks are “too mean” to white people like YesJulz (a caucasian culture vultress who didn’t even acknowledge his caping not a single time). This week, d!ckhead Daniel is back on Al Gore’s internet copping pleas and half-assedly “apologizing” for HOW he expressed his sunken beliefs, not for the content of what he believes. “I expressed my opinion in a very pretentious… I was talking down to you guys,” said Caesar. “I apologize for how I expressed my idea because that is where I went wrong. I believe in what I said. A real man can admit when he’s wrong. I can admit when I’m wrong.” He went on to say… “There was no one there to challenge my ideas. That’s also dangerous. That’s why it’s tyrannical. It was a very tyrannical rant because a tyrant doesn’t have people around checking him.” Daniel Caesar apologizes for comments he made during his IG live rant. pic.twitter.com/T8L11qq3G9 — Karen Civil (@KarenCivil) March 24, 2019 He can keep that “apology”. If he thinks that white people are “the winning team” and that in order to be more like them that Black folks need to adopt their “strategy”, then that’s just what it is. We don’t particularly care about HOW he expressed such a dumba$$ idea. GTFOHWTBS.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: The Housewives Turn on Lisa Vanderpump

The Bahamas trip was on full swing on Tuesday’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and that could only mean one thing: Drama.  While the ladies were intent on bickering with each other, Denise Richards was more excited about the prospect of showing off her beach body.  “I don’t even know what these b****es are fighting about,” Denise giggled, while Dorit Kemsley laughed as she told her: “I really hope you still want to see us after this trip.” Erika tried to lighten up the mood by saying that the place they were vacationing looked like the setting of a 007 movie.  “I want my Bond Girl in the water right now,” Erika told Denise. “It looks like the f***ing movie right here, I swear to God.” But Denise had a bombshell to drop on the women: Her Bond girl did not actually come out of the water. “I kind of wish I did because that would have been a very sexy shot,” she revealed.  Things took a turn when Denise showed up for drinks on Dorit’s balcony looking less than formal, while the other women were dressed to the nines.  “Walking into someone’s hotel room for drinks – I was just not expecting everyone to be so f***ing fancy,” Denise revealed in a confessional.  “I sweat bullets trying to figure out what I’m gonna wear with these ladies, I swear,” Denise added. Erika felt like all the woman should invest in a glam squad. “Every woman in this f***ing group can afford a glam squad. You’re just too cheap not to do it,” she mused.  Denise went on to chat to Lisa Vanderpump about her daughter Eloise’s learning difficulties.  “It’s hard for her to have play dates because she can’t really talk. She can only say a few words,” she said. “She was diagnosed with a chromosome disorder, and that is what caused her delays. That’s all I know with her.” “She’s really been a blessing, and I feel as if I had her. I’m so lucky that she’s my daughter.” Lisa then went on to argue with Erika for “sending ‘a couple of lines in a condolence card.” “I wish that you’d called me. It was a little distant,” she complained. “That’s a very personal note to me,” Erika fired back. “I’m very sorry that you feel that way, but that comes from my heart.” “I’m sorry that you didn’t think that was enough for you,” Erika continued. Lisa then said they should leave it in the past and move on, but Erika was pissed.  “Well don’t bring it up again and we can move on,” she snapped. “But I will defend myself down to the f***ing bone. Don’t make me out to be the bad guy. I would have loved to have connected with you privately, but here we are.” Erika took to a confessional to stick the knife in further.  “I’ve never known of anyone to react this way. ‘Your condolence note wasn’t good enough.’ Are you f***ing kidding me?” Lisa Rinna chimed in to say that she would have been mad with LVP.  “To criticize someone for sending a sympathy card – it’s one of the weirdest things I’ve heard.” She went on to say that nobody knew how to process death. “Grief is a process that nobody teaches you how to go through.” “The first time you see somebody after you’ve been through something very sad, it’s often emotional,” LVP revealed.  “I kind of wanted to get those big moments out of the way because I knew I would fall apart.” The drama kicked into high gear when Rinna said that she thought Vanderpump set Dorit up with the whole dog situation.  “I tried to protect Dorit,” Vanderpump fired back. “If Dorit had handled it properly there wouldn’t be this scenario.” Dorit was in tears be the end of the episode, and Lisa admitted she wished she had ditched the trip.  “I give up,” Lisa complained to the camera. “What am I doing here? I’d rather have stayed home and had a root canal.” Okay then.  RHOBH continues Tuesdays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Official Season 9 Portraits!

Prince Harry to Meghan Markle: Wait, Did You Cheat on Me?

Might there be trouble in Royal paradise? Just a few weeks before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to become first-time parents?!? We can’t help but wonder about this possibility after something Harry said to his wife in front of many witnesses… The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were visiting Education For All, a boarding house supporting female education in rural communities in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco this week, when they were congratulated on their upcoming arrival. (Markle is due in early May with either a boy or a girl, neither the couple nor the Palace has revealed the gender.) “I wish to say congratulations for your pregnancy,” a woman in attendance told the supertars in a video shared by the BBC, to which Harry turned towards Markle and joked: “Wait, you’re pregnant?” Not a bad joke for any husband to make, right? Especially when said pregnancy is, literally , the most talked-about pregnancy on the planet.  “Surprise!” Markle replied, prompting Harry to quip: “Is it mine?” Ummm… what?!? Did Harry really just ask Markle whether she cheated on him? We know this is a common joke for people to make when a woman is expecting, but it’s wildly inappropriate when you stop and think about it. Where, exactly, is the humor in speculating about your wife’s infidelity? Markle, of course, laughed at Harry’s seemingly harmless inquiry. Everyone knows he’s sort of a big jokester and was just aiming for a laugh. But is this really what Markle needss right now? She remains under fire from critics, members of the Royal Family and even her own so-called loved ones. Rumors of a feud between Markle and Kate Middleton have thankfully died down of late, but resentment remains over the way Meghan allegedly treated her fellow Duchess in the past. The former Suits actress still has a reputation for being an entitled American and we just don’t think Harry made the right call here in possibly alo giving her a reputation for being a disloyal spouse. The Royal twosome is currently visiting Morocco on a three-day trip; they arrived in the country on Saturday. The following day (Monday), Harry and his bride took a helicopter to the Atlas Mountains to visit a girls’ boarding house and talk to students there, which is where Markle received a henna tattoo to mark seven months of pregnancy. Because some folks are just always out to savage her, she received negative feedback for this decision as well. The poor woman simply can’t win. But she’s back in London now, settled in at home until the baby arrives. In the end, that’s all that really matters, wouldn’t you agree?

Lady Gaga Adresses Bradley Cooper Romance Rumors!

For those of you who live under a rock and somehow missed Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s 2019 Oscar performance, please watch it below.  It is a powerful display of the award-winning song  Shallow from A Star Is Born , taking us back to the tragic love story of Ally and Jackson Maine.  Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Sing “Shallow,” Get All of America Pregnant It is also a performance saturated with sex eyes and cheek-to-cheek singing , swaying fans to believe that the stars are totally in love.  Or just 100% into character for a movie that wrapped over a year ago.  The passionate number took place in front of Hollywood’s most notable stars, including Bradley’s supermodel girlfriend and baby mama, Irina Shayk. Awkward. And after millions tuned in to watch the raw performance, fans immediately began speculating that Gaga and Cooper’s natural chemistry is too real to be just ‘professional’. Insinuating that the two are deeply in love and should date already!  And while their attraction for each other is undeniable, the Joanne singer assures everyone that it is just a friendly relationship.  Fans freaked out after reading Lady Gaga’s latest Instagram post that read “Nothing could be more special than sharing this moment at the Oscars with a true friend and artistic genius.” The subtle word “friend” stuck out to her followers like a sore thumb. Some fans took the news as Gaga covering up her true feelings. I mean at the end of the day she still shared a picture with her head on Bradley’s shoulder with his arm around her waist.  One user commented “If this ain’t love, NOTHING is,” while another commented “True lover**.” Fans aren’t buying her words for one second and refuse to give up on the idea that the two are soulmates.  The other, more practical, set of fans argue that Gaga and Bradley were just in character for their performance from their Oscar-nominated movie. “They were giving the audience Ally and Jackson!” wrote a user.  If anything, Gaga is probably thrilled that her method acting training paid off.  One fan even compared their relationship to another popular friendship saying, “Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton have that same chemistry, they have had a long standing loving friendship for many years. Same wonderful rare relationship happening here,” the fan said.  Another use wrote, “When your acting is on point and the world is convinced ya really in love.” A fan also defended the current couple in the comments, saying “People really need to stop taking everything so personal. This is a business matter and it’s great PR for their movie/song.” “I think the connection they have is beautiful and if Irina had anything to say about this performance I’m sure she did before the event happened.” Irina also stood up after their performance, beaming with pride and applauding, she also gave Gaga a hug during the show so I think it is safe to say that she approves of their act .
