Caitlyn Jenner Says Kris Was A User And Controlling During Their Marriage – “I Was Mistreated”

Caitlyn Jenner Says Kris Mistreated Her During Their Marriage Caitlyn Jenner already shaded the Kardashians by eclipsing Kimmy Cakes’ big baby news with her big reveal. Now, she’s not wasting any time letting everyone know how she really feels about Kris Jenner and coming clean on the mistreatment she dealt with back in her Bruce days as the controlling and calculating momager’s “better half.” Via RadarOnline : Caitlyn Jenner has come out swinging in her first major interview, telling Vanity Fair that ex-wife Kris “mistreated” and “controlled” her throughout their marriage! At the time of the couple’s divorce in 2014, Kris insisted they were parting as friends, but it seems any good feelings between them may have faded. “The first 15 years I felt she needed me more because I was the breadwinner…” Caitlyn told Vanity Fair in her new cover interview. “Then really around the show, when that hit and she was running the whole show and getting credit for it and she had her own money, she didn’t need me as much from that standpoint. … I think in a lot of ways she became less tolerant of me.” “A lot of times she wasn’t very nice,” Caitlyn continued. “People would see how I got mistreated. She controlled the money, all that kind of stuff.” But Kris fired back, “He was married to me and he wasn’t who he wanted to be so he was miserable… All I was doing was working very hard for my family so that we could all have a wonderful future, and he was pissed off.” What”s more, Kris claimed, “At the end of my relationship with Bruce he definitely had a lot of social anxiety. … That was one of the reasons we were in a struggle at the end.” And when Caitlyn went public with her transformation, Kris said she was stunned: “It was like the most passive-aggressive thing I think I ever experienced.” Still, Caitlyn said that any focus on her gender issues as the reason for the split is misguided, and that most of it was Kris’ fault. She insisted, “Twenty percent was gender and 80 percent was the way I was treated.” Sounds like she sharpened her nails a bit before that sit-down with Vanity Fair . We wonder what other Kardashian secrets will come pouring out of this shady lady’s mouth now that she’s good and comfortable in her skin… Vanity Fair

Jenelle Evans Slammed By PETA For Dog Abuse, Responds in Typically Classy Fashion

Jenelle Evans is back in the news again, this time regarding her mistreatment of dogs on Teen Mom 2 and her response to critics of said animal abuse. Seriously. Girl cannot go a week without some new controversy. Concerned viewers saw her dogs – specifically Nathan Griffith’s dog Moogan – basically living in their own filth on a recent Teen Mom 2 episode . Seeing Jenelle drag Nathan’s dog by the collar and lock him in a crate with her own dog, cramming them in so tight that they could barely move? It was hard to stomach. Some people even stole her dog recently, claiming they were protecting the animal; they were arrested and face criminal charges. Thievery aside, fans took to Twitter to express concern. Even PETA got involved, writing an open letter encouraging Jenelle to find a new home for the dogs. “Please understand that dogs are not toys or amusements or possessions just to have around,” the group wrote. “They are full of feelings and needs, just as you are.” “You may not have realized that keeping dogs crated for long periods of time deprives them of everything that is natural and important to them.” “When you scream at them, it clearly frightens and upsets them.” “We urge you to be strong and do what’s right,” they told Jenelle Evans , urging her to “please immediately make the commitment to finding them a new, suitable home.” Instead of being “punished and yelled at for relieving themselves,” PETA adds, dogs deserve to be treated as valued family members, not inconveniences in a busy life.” Jenelle seemed concerned and sincere in sitting down with MTV and said she regretted her dog-related actions, which looked pretty bad on TV. She didn’t take kindly to PETA’s letter, though. She’s been re-tweeting supportive messages from fans, basically saying she didn’t do anything wrong, and sending the above Geico-themed meme directly to PETA. Keep it classy, girl. Always keep it classy. Jenelle Evans & Nathan Griffith: Photos of a Rocky Romance 1. Jenelle Evans Shower Selfie Jenelle Evans poses for a shower selfie with Nathan Griffith. Too cute or TMI?

For Discussion: Does Focus On Black Celebrity Skew Our Real Financial Standing?

Does the focus on celebrity dull the impact of poverty? The Decadent Veil: Black America’s Wealth Illusion Writer Antonio Moore has some thoughts on America’s focus on wealthy Black celebrity, and how it shapes how we view Black people’s financial standing in this country. Via HuffingtonPost : As black celebrity invited us into their homes through shows like MTV cribs, we forgot the condition of overall African American financial affairs. Despite a large section of the 14 million black households drowning in poverty and debt the stories of a few are told as if they represent those of millions, not thousands. It is this new veil of economics that has allowed for a broad swath of America to become not just desensitized to black poverty, but also hypnotized by black celebrity. How could we not, our channels are filled from ESPN to VH1 with presentations of black Americans being paid a king’s ransom to entertain. As black celebrity has been shown to millions of people, millions of times, the story of real lives has also been lost, and with it the engine that thrust forward the demand for social justice by the masses. The heartbeat of social action is to recognize your mistreatment, and demand better. With each presentation of Kobe Bryant’s 25 million dollar a year contract, or Oprah’s status as the sole African American billionaire a veil of false calm is created within the overall American economic psyche about the immense black wealth disparity. Young black men from ghettos across America that used to dream to make great changes in racial inequity now just dream to be a millionaire and be like mike and dunk a ball or dance on a stage. The decadent veil not only warps our vision outward to a larger economic world, but it also distorts outside community’s view of our actual financial reality. As reported by MSNBC the median net worth of the few black households in the top 1 percent was $1.2 million dollars, while according to the Census median net worth for all black households was about $6,000 in total. A black family in the 1 percent is worth a staggering 200 times that of an average black family. If black America were a country we would be among the most wealth stratified in the world. It is because of this concentration of wealth that any view of averages is destroyed for black America, the disparity between rich and poor is too high. When a few families have a massive percentage of wealth it pulls the average up so astronomically that it makes the mean present a false narrative. Did you realize the gaps were that large? What are your thoughts?

Performing Animals Mistreated in China, Reports Animals Asia, an Animal Rights Campaign Group | Photos | Video

PLEASE be sure to look at the four photos, and when you get to the fourth photo, just imagine if that were you… or a child of yours… http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/08/12/china.performing.animals/index.html?… Performing animals mistreated in China, says report August 15, 2010 11:21 p.m. EDT (CNN) — Bears riding motorcycles, tigers jumping through flaming hoops and pigs leaping off diving boards. Just some of the “entertainment” that can be seen at circuses, zoos and safari parks in China, according to a report by Animals Asia into animals cruelty. The Hong Kong-based animal rights campaign group visited 13 safari parks and zoos in China and according to David Neale, Animals Asia's Animal Welfare Director, found that the animal shows “portray the animal to the public in a humiliating way” and have no educational value. “There is a misunderstanding really within China at the moment about what these animals are experiencing,” Neale told CNN. The report says that many of the performance animals that include tigers, lions, Asiatic black bears, elephants and monkeys are born and bred in captivity and brutalized throughout their lives. Video: Cruelty to performing animals “These animals have been suffering from birth, really. Once they're born they go into this industry. And straight away the trainers are starting to brutalize them to make them to do these tricks…. We saw some of the training of the younger animals; they were continually hit to make sure they learnt these tricks so that when they're out in the performance ring they perform them to the best standard.” “Once the trick is finished they then go to the backstage area where they're housed in the most shocking conditions. All kinds of animals are held in cages full of faeces, with very little access to water, very little access to food.” The abuse of performing animals isn't specific to China. “Animal cruelty is happening in every country across the world,” said Neale. However Neale points out that in China there are currently no animal protection laws, a reason why Animals Asia have worked with Chinese academics to draft legislation not just for animals in captivity, but all animals. Despite the findings of their investigation, Neale is encouraged by a few signs of progress by the Chinese government to take animal protection seriously. According to a government report on July 29 the Chinese State Forestry Administration accused companies that have animal performance shows of having excessive focus on profits, leading to the mistreatment and death of the animals. “We're very pleased that the Chinese government has said that they want the zoos and safari parks to look at the conditions they keep their animals in to rectify these problems,” said Neale. added by: EthicalVegan
