Kim Kardashian: Did She Hire a Team of Therapists to Spy on Kanye?

Well folks, Kanye West is back in the news these days, which means we’re spending a lot of time torn between our desire to joke about his bizarre behavior and our fear that we’re making fun of someone who’s off his meds and genuinely in need of an intervention. And it looks like we’re not alone in our concern for the state of Yeezy’s mental health . As you’ve probably heard by now, Kanye just released a new album entitled Jesus Is King. Now, we’re not saying the shift toward gospel-y sounds and lyrics is necessarily a red flag, but when someone who was already pretty religious suddenly becomes super religious, well … that’s often a sign that it’s a good time to check up on them. After all, it’s not like Kanye decided he should ramp up his church attendance. No, instead, he “asked” people who work with him to stop having premarital sex, which in addition to being creepy AF is highly illegal. Big difference there. Anyway, a new album means a new tour. And a new tour means Kanye’s wife is understandably concerned about the possibility of Kanye having one of his famous meltdowns on the road. Yes, according to a new report from Radar Online Kim Kardashian is taking steps to ensure that Kanye’s tour will operate as smoothly as possible. Now, this is a Kanye West tour we’re talking about, so we’re assuming some rough patches are expected — but an insider tells the site that Kim has assembled a crack team of private investigators and mental health professionals for the purpose of following Kanye and ensuring that all is well. “Kanye will be watched, even if he doesn’t know about it,” says the source. “He says he’s fine and doesn’t need help but Kim’s nervous so she’s making sure he’s under a watchful eye – or 5,” the insider added. The informant went on to say that the team members will report to Kim directly, and the hope is that Kanye will not be aware of their existence. “They’ll report to her and if there’s any warning signs she’ll essentially send them in,” says the source. Seems like Kim isn’t doing the greatest job of keeping this mission a secret — but it also sounds like she’s not overly concerned about ‘Ye finding out about her efforts to keep an eye on him.  “Kanye would be fuming if Kim told him what she’s done but she couldn’t care less,” the insider admitted. “She doesn’t want him losing his mind and she’ll do anything she can to ensure it doesn’t happen.” We understand the need to monitor Kanye’s activities, but hiring a team of spies to follow a guy with paranoid tendencies sounds like a recipe for disaster.

John Crist, Christian Comedian/YouTube Star, Addresses Sexual Misconduct Allegations

John Crist, a Christian comedian and popular YouTube personality, has issued a lengthy statement and canceled his tour amid allegations that he to used his celebrity statis to sexually harass and exploit women. Crist didn’t really deny these accusations in his statement, either. The comedian has spoken out a day after a report published by Charisma News detailed claims made by five women against Crist. The outlet writes that “Crist has exploited his Christian reputation and platform to harass, manipulate and exploit young women over the last seven years.” To quote from the report: The allegations include, but are not limited to, individually sexting multiple women during the same time period, initiating sexual relationships with married women and women in committed relationships, offering show tickets in exchange for sexual favors and repeatedly calling these women late at night while drunk. YIKES, huh? Crist has more than 526,000 YouTube subscribers and over 1.3 million combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. In response to the above article, Crist wrote the following to Charisma News: “Over the past number of years, various women have accused me of behavior that has been hurtful to them. “While I am not guilty of everything I’ve been accused of, I confess to being guilty of this — I have treated relationships with women far too casually, in some cases even recklessly.” Crist continued: “My behavior has been destructive and sinful. “I’ve sinned against God, against women and the people who I love the most. I have violated my own Christian beliefs, convictions and values, and have hurt many people in the process. “I am sorry for the hurt and pain I have caused these women and will continue to seek their forgiveness. “I have also hurt the name of Jesus and have sought His forgiveness.” Crist had been scheduled to film a Netflix special, but the company now says that program is on hold. He further revealed in his statement that he has sought professional treatment to help with his “addiction struggles” and added: “Over several recent years, I have privately sought and received regular professional treatment for my sexual sin and addiction struggles.” He didn’t go into much more detail about these struggles and/or what they entail. More from his statement: “I’m committed to getting healing and freedom from my sin and have decided to cancel my remaining tour dates this year and to postpone all future commitments in order to devote all my time and energy on getting healthy spiritually, mentally and physically.” Crist earned a spot on Pollstar’s Top 100 Tours Globally list in 2019, “with over 197,000 tickets sold for his ‘Human Being Tour,’” according to the star’s biography. The 35-year-old comedian was most recently romantically linked to country singer and American Idol alum Lauren Alaina; they split in September. According to Crist’s statement, “Those closest to me — my family, team and close friends — have known about this battle for some time, and now you do too.” And he concluded: I don’t blame anyone but myself. I’m responsible for my actions and I’ve repented and am taking full ownership. I realize it will be difficult for some people to ever forgive me, and I accept that as a result of my bad decisions and actions. My entire career has been lived out on stage, and even though I’ve shared many of my life struggles with my audiences, I’ve lived in constant fear of the darkest parts of my life being exposed publicly. My greatest fear has been that those who have loved and supported me would hate me if they knew everything about me. I now humbly seek forgiveness and mercy and love — not just for me, but for those I’ve hurt along my path. I’m so sorry.

Travis Scott Allegedly Set To Fire Back At Kardashians After Kylie Jenner Split

Read the original:

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN The breakup of Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner is still pretty recent and the fallout of the split is growing in size if unconfirmed whispers are true. According to sources close to Scott, he allegedly intends to fire back at the Kardashian clan for talking trash about him. As reported by the Mirror , an upcoming report by Heat World magazine states that Scott has tired of what he says is trash-talking from the sprawling Kardashian empire despite reports that he and Jenner agreed to an amicable split and were to remain friends. However, it appears that Scott’s relationship with Jenner may be intact but nothing of the sort is on the table for the Kardashians. “Travis knows that the Kardashians are trash-talking him and spreading rumours about him,” said a source to Heat World . The source added, “He’s ready to fight back big time. The way he is feeling at the moment, he’d like nothing more than to sell Kylie out. Everyone thinks he’s the one who’s been playing the field, while Kylie is some sort of angel.” The source concluded that Scott has dirt on Jenner and the entire family that will soon come to light. This comes as a video posted by Scott of he and Jenner’s daughter playing around seemed to also feature mom’s hand in the clip, with E! News reporting that the three spent time together as a family.

Cop Sues Ava DuVernay And Netflix Over “When They See Us”

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN When Ava DuVernay released the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series “ When They See Us ,” she likely knew that she would ruffle a few feathers. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow, so it’s not surprising that law enforcement figures who played a role in robbing the Exonerated Five of their childhoods are trying to rewrite history and misplace blame. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! However, the most recent legal complaint against the film is coming from an unlikely source. According to TMZ , the latest jab comes from former Chicago police officer John Reid. While Reid does not appear in the film, he’s arguing in a defamation lawsuit that the series misrepresents and demonizes his work. Reid is credited with a police interrogation tactic known as The Reid Technique, which some police training firms have done away with because they suspect that it has a tendency to produce false confessions. In the series, the technique is referenced as “universally rejected” when a prosecutor and detective are discussing the manner in which the detective coerced confessions out of the boys. SEE ALSO:  Jharrel Jerome Takes Home Lead Actor Win At 2019 Emmys For ‘When They See Us’ [VIDEO] “You squeezed statements out of them after 42 hours of questioning and coercing, without food, bathroom breaks, withholding parental supervision,” the prosecutor said. “The Reid Technique has been universally rejected. That’s truth to you.” According to the lawsuit, the Reid technique does not teach officers to withhold parental supervision or deny interrogation subjects of their rights. He adds that his technique teaches officers to take caution when interviewing minors. In summary, he claims the Reid Technique rejects the practices depicted by officers in the film.

He argues that Ava “fabricated a scene designed to broadcast to the audience a conversation they made up that included false statements as to the Reid Technique.” In July, Reid says that he demanded a retraction of comments made about the interrogation technique; however, Netflix refused.

#MeToo Founder Tarana Burke Has A Message For Comedians Trying To Return After Sexual Misconduct

Read the original:

Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty Tuesday marks the two year anniversary #MeToo went viral bringing wider attention to victims of sexual assault and misconduct. Though 2017 was the viral moment, the #MeToo work has been carrying on since before 2017 thanks to founder Tarana Burke . For the movement’s two year anniversary, Burke is reflecting on its impact and how it’s shifted the ways people talk about sexual violence. In an interview with Teen Vogue , one standout moment came when Burke was asked about the “gray areas” of sexual assault and misconduct. One person who came to mind was Aziz Ansari , who was accused of sexual misconduct for repeatedly pressuring a woman to have sex. Eventually, Ansari issued a statement saying he took time to “process” the woman’s side of the story, and he also addressed the incident in his Netflix stand-up special “Aziz Ansari: Right Now”. Burke spoke on this and even brought up Dave Chappelle , who notoriously made jokes about Michael Jackson and child molestation in his latest Netflix special “Stick & Stones”. “Can I say something about that in terms of accountability,” Burke started. “I have been thinking a lot about Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari because they both have these comedy specials, right? And I know Dave Chappelle wasn’t accused of anything, whatever, but he decided he was just going to go down this road….But some people are not going to be comfortable with what I’m going to say. I’ve said this in places where people are like, ‘I don’t agree with you,’ but I think Aziz Ansari’s response… has anybody seen his stand-up? He didn‘t act like it didn’t happen. He talked very clearly about what his year’s been like, and not from a like, ‘Yo, this has been a really messed up year,’ but like, ‘what did I learn? What did I do? How did I try to make this situation, turn this situation around?’ He was humble.” Burke then went on to compare him to fellow comedian Louis C.K.   who was also accused of sexual misconduct and is now trying to make a comeback. “And I said, you know, ‘Why can’t these other folks at least have some lessons,” Burke said. “I’m just so angry at the folks who kind of hide for six months, and then peek their head, like Louis C.K . Louis C.K. is an assh*le.” She continued: “And I’m going to tell you, he was one of my favorite comedians, right? I loved his show, I love Louis C.K., but you going to come back and start talking about transphobes, and children getting shot, what are we supposed to do?” Finally, Burke asserted: “And this is the thing about accountability with these public figures that I think they don’t get. You want my support, right? I don’t tell anybody what it should look like, but for me, when I think about accountability, you start with the person you harmed first. So before you bring your face out into the public or whatever, did you go to the people who you caused harm to and ask them what they need? Did you try to have a process, any kind of process, restorative process, with them? And they may say, “I don’t want that. I don’t want anything to do with you,” which is their right. But you have to start there. The second layer of that is, you want me to laugh at your jokes, buy your tickets, watch your specials, and you think you’re not accountable to me, and my values are not supposed to come into play on how I spend my money and my time? You are mistaken.” SEE ALSO: Questlove Clears Up Comments He Made About Iggy Azalea And Cultural Appropriation Police Interrogation Firm Sues Ava DuVernay And Netflix Over ‘When They See Us’
