Source: E. JASON WAMBSGANS / Getty The fall of R. Kelly has been spectacular to witness and it’s only going to get worse from this point out. Adding insult to injury, Kelly’s crisis manager, Darrell Johnson, pretty much spotted the jig to come and got out of dodge promptly after an interview with CBS News’ Gayle King . CBS News reports : “I step down as crisis manager for personal reasons. Mr. Kelly is in good hands with Mr. Greenberg,” Johnson said, referring to Steve Greenberg, the criminal defense attorney who heads Kelly’s legal team in Chicago. The news come hours after Johnson appeared on “CBS This Morning” and told co-host Gayle King that he would never leave his own daughter alone with an accused pedophile. Pressed on whether he wouldn’t leave his daughter alone with Kelly specifically, Johnson repeated: “I would not leave my daughter with anyone that’s accused of being a pedophile. I would not.” When King pointed out the seeming contradiction of defending Kelly, an accused pedophile, and simultaneously saying he wouldn’t trust his own daughter alone with anyone accused of that crime, Johnson repeated, “I wouldn’t leave my daughter with anyone — I’m going to say it again — that’s accused of being a pedophile.” The fact remains that Johnson was on the payroll defending Kelly so either the money ran out or he spotted an upcoming jig. — Photo: Getty
Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Elizabeth Warren Is Putting Her Plan For Student Loan Debt Into Action As the race heats up between more than a dozen Democratic Presidential candidates, there are certain issues that continue to be brought up time and time again both on the campaign trail and during debates. One of those issues is student loan debt, with the idea of some sort of debt forgiveness being at the top of a lot of a lot of voters’ list. Senator Elizabeth Warren has been vocal about her plan for student loan forgiveness over the past couple of months, but now, she’s really putting that plan into action. The Massachusetts politician introduced a bill on Tuesday that would forgive student loans for tens of millions of Americans, which would mean three-quarters of borrowers would have their balances reset to zero. The Senator first released her plan to do this very thing back in April, but the legislation–which has been dubbed the Student Loan Debt Relief Act–offers new details on how she would go about dismantling the country’s outstanding student debt, which is soon expected to exceed $2 trillion. Under Warren’s newly introduced proposal, borrowers with household incomes under $100,000 would get $50,000 of their student debt completely forgiven. People who earn between $100,000 and $250,000 would be eligible for forgiveness on a sliding scale. And those who earn more than $250,000 would not get any debt relief. For those wondering about the logistics of this whole thing: the degree of debt forgiveness a person receives would be determined by their income in the most recent tax year and the loan cancellations would take about a year from the time the bill is enacted to complete. Though most people crippled by their student loan debt are probably huge fans of this idea, not everyone is on board with completely cancelling out such a tab. Consumer advocacy groups like the National Consumer Law Center came out in support of the plan, saying, “we support bills like the Student Loan Debt Relief Act because it recognizes the enormity of the crisis facing today’s borrowers.” Others oppose the plan, like President and CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association Richard Hunt , who says, “this proposal does nothing to decrease the cost of college and does not help future students.” But all in all, the proposal is popular among voters. In a Politico/Morning Consult poll , 56% of registered voters said they support the Massachusetts senator’s proposal to cancel outstanding education loans by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Only 27% of voters said they opposed the plan.

Cancel people’s home loans? Car loans? Lower the interest rates. Provide a path to work off the loan via work in at need parts of the country. People need to take responsibility for their actions. — Yojimbo 2000 (@yojimbo_2000) July 23, 2019 I would be grateful for zero interest and maybe all the interest I've paid to be applied to my principle. I have paid down my loan only a few hundred bucks after years of payments because of interest. — BendaBoo (@MarlanaBenda) July 23, 2019
For well over a year, reports of a feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have dominated tabloid headlines. The Dueling Duchesses, as they were dubbed by the British media simply couldn’t seem to get along, or even pretend to get along enough to fool the public. This was not, royal “insiders” insisted, a case of the press creating a false catfight narrative out of whole cloth, simply because that’s always what the press does with powerful women. No, this was a case of two of the most influential women in the world clashing so brutally that they were unable to hide their bad blood from London royal-watchers. And for a while there, it seemed the press was really on to something here. Meghan and Kate did not seem to like each other, as evidenced by their coolness toward one another in public, as well as Meghan and Harry’s decision to move out of Kensington Palace , the home they once shared with Will and Kate. But as new information about the spat became public knowledge, a very different narrative began to take shape. Insiders claimed that it was William and Harry who were feuding , not Meg and Kate. And recent photos and footage of Kate and Meghan enjoying each other’s company at Wimbledon seem to serve as evidence that the duchesses do not dislike each other at all. So did they really keep their distance and go to such great pains to disentangle their lives simply because their husbands couldn’t get along? Well, not quite … According to a new report from The Sun , the rumors are true, and Meghan has had a hard time gaining acceptance with several members of the royal family, including pseudo-royals like Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton. Pippa has no royal title, and officially, she has little to no clout within the Windsor clan. Unofficially, however, Pippa is surprisingly influential as a woman who’s very well-liked in a number of important social circles. And apparently, she and Meghan had to work hard to get to a point where they could peacefully co-exist: “On paper, Pippa and Meghan seem like a match made in heaven, as they are both good cooks, enjoy exercise and are wealthy mums with small baby sons,” an insider tells the tabloid. “Reality check is she is never going to be more than an American duchess married to Prince Harry who was hurtful to Pippa’s sister and who wants to rewrite the rules for the monarchy in the 21st century,” the insider adds. Yes, it seems Meg is still viewed as somewhat of a threat, due to her Americanness and her progressive views. And as much as they may not like each other, it seems Pippa is best at keeping the Duchess of Sussex in check: “Pippa is way too savvy to fall for all of that. Pippa will be more than capable of dealing with Meghan,” the source continues. “She is a seasoned old Marlburian brought up with good manners, clever and tough enough not to let light in on her sisterly frustrations with the Duchess of Sussex, particularly over the treatment Meghan meted out to Kate. “Meghan realises just what a close-knit family these girls come from, the support from parents Michael and Carol is unwavering.” Yes, it seems Pippa is still not happy with the way Meghan behaved toward Kate at some point (even though Kate seems to be over it). As a result, Pip seems to function in a sort of attack dog capacity, willing — if need to be — to do and say the things Kate can’t. “Pippa has a long memory say Edinburgh Uni chums. She has a rather hands-off relationship with Meghan and her overriding loyalty is to her sister,” the informant adds. “At the end of the day, there is a cordial friendship but an enduring closeness between Pippa and Meghan is never going to happen,” says the source. “Pippa will not be seen encouraging Meghan to pop by her Chelsea house, though visits have been made with Harry in tow.” We’re just gonna go ahead and assume that not encouraging someone to pop by your house in Chelsea is, like, the ultimate diss among UK socialites.

More and more fans are convinced that Leah Messer should get back with Jeremy Calvert . But their breakup was years ago, and there were a lot of factors involved in that split. In fact, Leah is now opening up about the role that money played in their divorce. Last week, Leah spoke on her podcast, Pressing Pause to Reboot . She and her co-star, Kailyn Lowry, spoke on a topic of interest to many, many Teen Mom fans — what they do with their massive paychecks. Years ago, Leah was known for compulsive, unsustainable spending habits (among other struggles). She has now put that behind her. Leah does confirm that, both then and now, the size of her paychecks has made her into a very generous person. For example, Leah says that she handed over a whopping $40,000 to her father, Gary Lee Miller. She explained to Kailyn that she did this “just to keep [him] around.” Leah does admit that she was, at times, a little too eager to bend overbackwards to help her family. “I would cut my own throat to hand money over to other people,” she characterized. That is a very kind way of looking at the world, but not a very healthy habit — and it looks like Leah knows that. “I always want people to know I’m still that humble person,”:Leah explained of her motivations. “And I felt [that in] giving to everyone,” she reasoned. “I would get in return.” That is very sweet … and also a recipe for being taken advantage of. “It hurt me, like, it caused one of my divorces, with Jeremy,” Leah revealed. She says that it helped break them up “because I would be giving to everyone.” While that wasn’t the only factor that ended their marriage, we can see how constant generosity could put a strain on a healthy marriage. Leah says that she would give out money to her family to help with “cars and houses and this and that.” Her real fear, she told Kailyn, was being seen as “this stuck-up” reality TV star. It’s totally possible to buy affection, even from your family, but it’s a slippery slope. Eventually, Leah realized that, and she ended up setting down some firm and important boundaries. For example, she warns that if she loans someone cash and does not get repaid, “you will never get a loan” from Leah “ever again.” Part of what has fans bringing up Jeremy again is that they’re relieved that Jason Jordan is out of the picture. Leah, at least, knew that Jason needed to be out of her life and out of the lives of her children. “We’ve had a lot of disagreements lately on parenting,” Leah revealed. “He gets openly angry,” she explained. “He gets upset and takes it out on everyone.” That’s a sign of a very toxic person and a very terrible parent. “There was always an expectation I could never meet. What I did was never enough,” Leah lamented. She described: “I could get up, cook breakfast, have all the kids ready, go watch his kid, it wasn’t enough.” If Leah and Jeremy do end up getting back together, there’s a real chance that things could be different this time. It has been years since their divorce. Leah has grown into one of the most level-headed mothers in Teen Mom history. And we imagine that Jeremy would feel less stressed now that Leah has set up some firm boundaries on the loans that she gives out. But will they get back together? They’ve been seen hanging out. Only time will tell. … View Slideshow: Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert: Should They Get Back Together?
Source: Brian To/WENN.com / WENN Netflix original series Queer Eye was introduced to us in February of last year and ever since, the Fab 5 have had a very special place in our hearts. A reboot of Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy , the newer series follows food and wine expert Antoni Porowski, culture expert Karamo Brown, fashion expert Tan France, design expert Bobby Berk, and grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness as they travel around the country, provide people with some serious TLC, and dispel ignorance about gay men . While all you’re really expecting the Fab 5 to do is give their clients a dope ass makeover , their time with each person turns out to be about much more than that. Karamo digs deep to show each person their true value and potential, Bobby finesses their space so they can have a relaxing place to feel at home, Jonathan makes sure their inside beauty shines through to the outside, Antoni teaches the art of love by way of sustenance, and Tan gets their gear together so they can feel confident every time they step out into the world. In talking to each person they pay a visit to, the Fab 5 also experience some healing of their own — I think we can agree, this is much more than a makeover. With season 3 released one month ago, we’re feeling the Queer Eye feels all over again, as some pretty amazing stories were documented this time around. Fans were so touched, in fact, they raised over $100,000 for one young lady, Jess Guilbeaux, after she appeared on the show. At 16 years old Jess was kicked out of her home because she was a lesbian. She continued on with life but that was difficult to do while feeling unloved – not to mention she barely had any support system to depend on. Jess tried to put herself through college but eventually dropped out due to overwhelming debt. After hearing her heart-wrenching story, fans started a GoFundMe to “Send Jess Back To College” and Jess was able to pay off her loans!

Without any doubt, Tiger Woods' career comeback and epic victory at the 2019 Masters will go down as the stuff of legend. Almost as much so as his scandalous fall from grace nearly a decade ago, when he wrecked his car after Thanksgiving. Turns out that the golf great had a lot of mistresses. We're talking about a LOT of mistresses. And a lot more after that. He's turned over a new leaf now and we give him all the credit in the world for that. Erica Herman is a bona fide cutie too. More than we can say for some of the mistresses. Remember then? Some of them were kinda hot, but others just meh. Kind of a surprising mix for a star of Woods' caliber to be honest, especially considering he was married to Elin Nordegren . Guess when you're just looking to get it in anytime you have a night free, your standards drop? We may never truly know. But hey, dude is the GOAT. Who are we to judge? Okay, fine, let's break down his seXXXy side pieces for old times' sake … 1. Rachel Uchitel Rachel Uchitel was Tiger Woods’ #1 mistress, and to be fair, the only one that he basically confirmed sleeping with, given the massive settlement she received and NDA she signed after the fact. But she was far from the only one to allege an affair with the golfing legend. 2. Jaimee Grubbs Jaimee Grubbs quickly came forward to claim that she was one of Tiger Woods’ many mistresses. And has an appropriate last name. 3. Kalika Moquin Kalika Moquin claims to have screwed Tiger Woods at one point during that phase for him. 4. Joslyn James If a series of leaked texts are to be believed, Tier B adult film performer Joslyn James was Tiger Woods’ sexting buddy and acclaimed sexual freak for a magical period in both of their lives. 5. Holly Sampson Holly Sampson (yikes) is another porn star who Tiger Woods slept with allegedly. And who taught him many new tricks in the bedroom. 6. Jamie Jungers Jaime Jungers was yet another of Tiger Woods’ many mistresses that he met on the cocktail waitress circuit. According to her. View Slideshow
For four long years, Vicki Gunvalson dated the now disgraced Brooks Ayers. Most Real Housewives fans remember him best for having faked cancer , chemo, and chemo symptoms. But apparently he also “borrowed” a tremendous amount of money from Vicki. And she’s now suing him to force him to pay it back. E! News obtained court documents that reveal that Vicki Gunvalson is taking her ex, Brooks Ayers, to court. “Commencing in or about 2011,” documents read. “Plaintiff Gunvalson and Defendant Ayers entered into a series of loans.” These were loans “wherein Ayers borrowed various amounts of money from Gunvalson.” She allegedly loaned him a whopping $184,899 in 2011. Later, she says that she loaned him $81,652 for legal fees that he paid over a number of years. “And,” documents affirm. “Gunvalson agreed to loan such amounts to Ayers.” Apparently, they were both in total agreement … back when the loans were first made. “Ayers acknowledged the balance due on the loans,” the documents read. “In the amount of $184,899 to Gunvalson.” The court papers continue: “Ayers agreed to provide an accounting of all sums paid to him in various income streams.” In other words, she wanted him to prove to her that he was making enough money to pay her back. And, of course, to show her that he was paying her back as soon as he could — and not squirreling away cash for himself. We know that you will be simply shocked to read that Ayers allegedly failed to repay Vicki. The documents also accuse him of having failed to provide her with any accounting of his various revenue streams. (To be fair, that’s probably tricky to produce when you’re an alleged con artist) As far back as 2013, the two of them were joined in litigation in Clark County, Nevada. The involved litigation meant legal fees and expenses, which ran through 2015. You’ll never guess who got left with the check. “Ayers was unable to pay his portion of the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred on his behalf in the litigation,” the documents assert. “The Parties entered into a verbal agreement,” the papers reveal. This was a pact wherein Ayers borrowed $81,652,97 from Gunvalson.” This was all “to pay for the legal services, attorneys’ fees, and costs incurred in the Las Vegas litigation.” It sounds like she has yet to see dime one from that loan. The documents accuse that Brooks “failed and continued to fail to remedy or make good on the said account to Gunvalson.” Vicki suggests that he “had no intention of ever repaying either of the loans.” “Defendant committed the acts alleged knowingly, willingly, intentionally, maliciously,” the documents read. “And,” the papes add. “With the conscious disregard of the rights of Plaintiff.” “Defendant was in the superior position in relationship to his records,” Vicki accused. The documents continue: “Plaintiff reasonably expected trust and confidence in the integrity and fidelity of Defendant’s accounting and records.” Vicki accuses Brooks of “concealing and continuing to conceal accounting of his records.” “Defendant’s continued concealment of any accounting,” documents read. “Is an attempt to intentionally defraud and oppress Plaintiff.” Vicki has asked that the sum that she’s seeking, which is (obviously) in excess of $15,000, be determined at trial. She’s looking for compensation for attorneys’ fees, legal costs incurred both in the past and during this process, plus interest — and more. Honestly? Best of luck to her. We’re just glad that, these days, Vicki’s boyfriend saves her job instead of milking her for cash. View Slideshow: Vicki Gunvalson: DEMOTED to “Friend” of the Real Housewives in Stunning Shakeup!
Source: Nigel Carse / Getty $150 Million In Student Loan Debt To Be Wiped Away The Education Department is wiping a whopping $150 million in federal student loans off the books, and has already begun the process of informing thousands of borrowers that they no longer owe the government money because the schools they attended shut their doors. The loan forgiveness, which was announced earlier this week , applies to about 15,000 borrowers as federal education officials begin to carry out new rules that they fought in court for more than a year over. The department said it began notifying some of the borrowers by email on Friday that their loans would be discharged within the next few months. Any payments that the borrowers made toward a loan will also be refunded, it said. About half the borrowers attended Corinthian Colleges, a large for-profit chain that went bankrupt in 2015 after a deluge of lawsuits accusing it of predatory recruiting practices and false marketing. The rest attended one of the more than 1,000 other schools that shut down between November 2013, the start date for the automatic-discharge rules, and November 2015. The new rules require the department to automatically forgive the loans of eligible borrowers three years after their school closed, but students can apply before then. Under the Education Department’s closed school forgiveness program, federal student loan borrowers can apply to have their loans wiped away if they attended a school that closed while they were enrolled, or soon after, and they do not transfer their credits elsewhere. The program is based on the principle that lenders bear responsibility for ensuring that a loan is sound, and that borrowers shouldn’t be responsible for loans taken out for an education that turned out to be worthless. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has said that she intends to rewrite the rules for some of the agency’s debt-forgiveness programs; The soonest those changes could take effect is July 2020. “The federal government must become a more responsible lender,” Ms. DeVos said, adding that students “need to understand the implications of their decisions.”
Dee triumphantly raps, “For those who doubted me, yeah this is payback. No sir, I don’t drive a Maybach. But guess what I did? I finished paying Sallie Mae back.”
Dear Bossip , Me and my husband have been married for five years, and all those years I always have done everything. My husband is from Nigeria. I even put up all the money and fees to get him here. We have three children, two adopted by me before we got together, and our 2 year old that we have together. We were best friends for 8 years before even getting together, so naturally, I thought all would be great. I was wrong. Two weeks after having our son my husband arrived. It seemed once he arrived things would change. I was off from work after having our son and things were limited and stressful. You know when you start learning to live with someone full-time things change, such as arguments and problems. Many of the issues revolve around him wanting his name being added to my home. I had I thought gladly, but learning from my past mistakes something told me be careful. So, I told him that I would and I’d even sign an agreement if I knew he was contributing. I would be glad to add his name, and then I offered we could buy a new home. But, in the meantime, let’s learn each other and adjust to being a family first and get things worked out with so many changes happening. However, when our son turned six months old he left to go to another state saying he was only going to be gone three months because he wanted to get some job training. I told him it really wasn’t a good time to leave and he went anyway. By this time, I was thinking of quitting my job, but I returned to work and was taking our son to daycare, even though he agreed we would work different shifts to care for him because of the expense of daycare. All of this was happening, and I was about to tell him about quitting my job and possibly putting his name on the house. As this point I was still paying everything and I just did not want anymore issues. But, his approach stopped me in my tracks. His three month had turned in to almost three years with every little excuse of why he hasn’t moved back. Now, he’s in Atlanta, and he only comes home every three to five month for only a week. I pay all the bills in the home, and all the childcare for our children, including all the insurance. He asked me on several occasions to get loans ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 dollars. He said it was to help get his business started so that he can help take care of his family. I got the loans and still nothing has come of it other than my credit being ruin. I ended up being stuck paying the loans after he said, “Baby, no, I am going to pay the monthly bill.” I try to help every time he calls asking for money because he’s my husband and I want him to succeed. But, I told him that I have dreams, too, but I still have to take care of the family while pursuing them. I don’t think it’s fair to leave me hanging and putting everything on me. Also, every time I bring up that he is never here for our anniversary, birthday, or Valentine’s Day it’s a problem with him. The two times we did do something it was on our anniversary. I paid for everything just so that he would spend time with me on that day. I keep telling him that this is a problem and he says that I need to be patient, and that he has a dream and it’s going to take time. Yet, when I try to talk to him about the issue he likes to blame me for everything going wrong in our marriage. He even asked for a DNA test on our son once when he got mad at me. I finally got tired of him using that so I paid for it myself to get it done and of course our son is his. But, I’m tired of it. My family said I should get out of this marriage. I asked my brothers about putting his name on the house and they said that it’s crazy, and they find it funny that he is not contributing anything but he wants his name on the house. Why is it such a big deal? Why not buy another home together? I told him that if he didn’t want to be married to me, or if I’m such a bad wife, then let me know so I can give up and move on. But, he says no, I love you still and he’s trying to build things for our family and that he wants things. I told my brothers that a lot of men when they get married would want their name on the home, and I can understand that it is only fair. But, they said, “Yeah, but most men would also help pay the bills and take care of their family.” They also said that this man is up to something. He’s already shown me that when things get tough, he will leave. He even calls me names when he is angry. Yet, I have been helping him and doing what he asks of me. This makes me hesitant with putting his name on my home. I even put my only car up and almost lost my home trying to get money for him. But, he gets mad and doesn’t understand why I will not put his name on the house, or file income taxes with him. I have seen what he can do and it’s not good. So, I stopped getting loans and I refuse to put his name on the house unless something changes for the better. Even when he moved to Atlanta, I did not know until I was talking to him and he said he moved to there. I was a little thrown off. I am supposed to be your wife, and there wasn’t even a discussion about him moving. I don’t want to fail at marriage, again. I love him, but I am starting to hate him. I am so tired as I work full-time, go to school, raise the children, and I help him because he won’t get a regular job. And, I pay for everything. But, I can’t even get a call from him or even get him to take me out for a special occasion. I can’t even get a text on Valentine’s Day or on my birthday. I guess I am not even worth a phone call. I know people are thinking why would I have a baby with him knowing I wasn’t ready and we hadn’t lived together. I was told I could not have children, but after adopting my two older children I found I was pregnant after I got back from Nigeria. I was pregnant so I figure it was God’s will. I am sorry this email is so long, but I am lost and I don’t know if it is wrong of me to feel this way. Should I do what all my family and friends say, as they tell me that I need to divorce him? – Married But Alone Dear Ms. Married But Alone , Please get the divorce from your husband, TODAY! You are not in a marriage. He is using you. He has used you to get him to the United States, and he’s been using you for your money. And, now he wants you to put his name on your home so that he can take that from you. Don’t do it! Follow your instincts and do not put his name on your home. You will end up homeless, destitute, and even more in loan debt. RUN FROM THIS MAN! I really don’t understand how you went to Nigeria, met this man, got pregnant, then, got married and decided to bring him to the U.S. Why? For what purposes? He has been nothing but a burden. He hasn’t done anything to show you that he is interested in marriage, or that he even loves you. I swear as soon as you got off the plane in Nigeria they all saw you coming. You had boo-boo the fool stamped on your forehead. Did you even notice that as soon as he gets to the U.S. he leaves you and tells you that he is going to another state for some job training. Uhm, sweetie, really? He was able to find a job that took him to another state, even when you asked him not to go. And, then, he calls you and tells you that he’s moved to Atlanta. But, hold up, he’s been there for nearly three years!!!! How the hell does that work? Girl, there ain’t no amount of love, sex, or holding out for things to get better with this man. Open your eyes and see what is going on. He is using you. He’s manipulated you. Chile, that fool is in another state with another woman. He is running game on you and all the women he’s probably met. Yes, he is probably slanging that Nigeria peen to any woman willing to believe his lies. And, in the process he is getting money out of all of you, and what’s sad is that you all are giving it to him! You are taking out loans up to $4,000 to give him for some pipe dream he is selling you. I can’t! Get you a divorce lawyer and put him on child support. Yup, teach his ass a lesson. He wants to play and manipulate and deceive you into some lie that he wants to build a marriage and family with you, but he’s not even home, not living with you, and, this fool is another state living another life. Girl, bye! He doesn’t spend time with you or his son. He doesn’t call or text you on your birthday or holidays. Hell, he doesn’t even show up. GET THE DIVORCE and save yourself and your family. This marriage was a bust before it even began. The moment he asked you to pay the fees and provide all the financial resources to get him to the U.S., you should have known it was a red flag. Then, when he gets here he wants you to put his name on your home. HELL NAW! He is out of his rabbit ass mind. He doesn’t have a job. He can’t contribute financially to the household. He is a liability. And, ever since he’s gotten here he has gone missing in action. But, ma’am, you should have gotten a clue and saw all of this from the very beginning. It’s damn near three years later, and he is still using the same bull-ish lines on you and you’re falling for it. Let this marriage go. You’re not married. You got a man from Nigeria to the U.S. This is a lesson learned. Don’t ever do this again. Never. Ever. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? S hare your opinions and thoughts below!
