In White Folks News: Johnny Depp Suing Ex-Wife Amber Heard For $50,000,000 Over ‘Defamatory’ Abuse Report, Says She Was Creepin’ With Elon Musk

Source: picture alliance / Getty If You Care: Johnny Depp Suing Amber Heard Johnny Depp is suing is ex-wife Amber Heard for a whopping $50 MILLION for defamation over an op-ed Heard wrote last year, according to The Blas t. In the piece, she referred to herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp denies everything and is calling it an ‘calling it an elaborate hoax.’ The lawsuit states, “Ms. Heard purported to write from the perspective of ‘a public figure representing domestic abuse’ and claimed that she ‘felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out’ when she ‘spoke up against sexual violence.’”Depp’s attorney acknowledges that she never mentions Depp by name, but says the entire article “depends on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.” Johnny Depp also claims to have proof that Amber Heard  was spending some questionable time with Telsa founder  Elon Musk during their short marriage in another report . Depp claims Heard received many “late night” visits from Musk at Depp’s residence and used the building’s personnel to facilitate the visits. He claims the “Aquaman” star asked the staff at the building to “give her ‘friend Elon’ access to the building’s parking garage and the penthouse elevator ‘late at night.’” Depp’s legal team claim they’ve deposed members from the building’s security team, and they testified to seeing Musk leaving the building the next morning after his alleged late night visits. Yikes, this divorce is MESSY messy. Do you think Depp will win his $50 Million against his ex?

O.D. Excellence: These Teachers Have Officially Won Black History Month

See the original post here:

Source: Alejandro Gallardo / EyeEm / Getty Despite all the madness going on in the world, it does feel like people are putting forth lots of effort this year to celebrate Black History Month. African-American teachers all across the country have decided to switch from the tradition BHM celebration for something newer, truer and more fun. Although there’s nothing wrong with honoring our forefathers by dressing up as them or reading about the same people — educators these days understand the importance of creativity and fun when it comes to teaching young Black kids about their history. Social media has sparked a trend of teachers decorating their door with Black cultural icons of the past and present, all with the help of a little construction paper. One of the first decorated doors to go viral was Glen Mourning , a 4th grade reading teacher at Friendship Public Charter School in Washington D.C. Mourning’s life sized door version of Colin Kaepernick had Black Twitter so proud. View this post on Instagram I’ve always dreamed of becoming an NFL superstar and when this guy right here decided to fight for love and equality…He changed my perspective on what being a big time play maker actually meant. Make the game winning move in the game of life! @crunchylifebooks #blackhistorymonth #colinkaepernick #istandwithkap #teacher #author #educator #blackmaleteacher #nike @teamcolinkaepernick #takeaknee @nike @usnikefootball @kaepernick7 @nessnitty @tylerperry A post shared by Glen Mourning (@mourningknows) on Jan 30, 2019 at 4:09pm PST   “Representation matters! i love these teachers that decorate their classroom doors for black history month .” – @_kaykayyy Just last week, Moss Point teacher Jovan Bradshaw, went viral not for the appealing decorations, but thanks to the profound message written on it. The sign read, “They didn’t steal slaves. They stole scientists, doctors, architects, teachers, entrepreneurs, astronomers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, etc, and made them slaves. Sincerely, your ancestors.” A photo of Lake Alfred Elementary School teacher Chanique Davis’ classroom door also made its rounds on social media. I mean, who doesn’t want to see features of a young Black girl rocking a tilted crown, natural hair and kente cloth during Black History Month. Davis told Edweek , “In a lot of corporate American settings, they don’t allow such a style. I wanted [my students] to know that this style is to be celebrated—it’s not to be shunned and it’s not anything negative. It’s a beautiful style, and … it’s just like anyone else’s hair: It’s welcomed, it’s celebrated. Since they are learning about the Martin Luther Kings and the Malcolm Xs in other settings, I want to be the one to let them know there are people who are currently adding to black history.” Anecia White of Harvest Preparatory School opted for the beautiful Black woman visuals too. She told People magazine “My source of inspiration for the door was every student in my classroom. They inspire me to be a better teacher every day, and I hope to inspire them to continue to learn about themselves.” Only two weeks left of Black History Month. We can’t wait to see else folks will come up with. *Raises fist in the air*

Rosario Dawson Speaks Candidly About Her Own Experiences With Sexual Abuse

Presley Ann/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Rosario Dawson Reveals Her Experience With Sexual Abuse Rosario Dawson , a very vocal supporter of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, has recently shared with the world that she herself is a survivor of sexual assault, according to  People . In a recent appearance on the feminist podcast  Morado Lens , Dawson revealed that she experienced sexual abuse as a child. The actress told hosts Cindy Rodrigues and Natalie Fairfan about how the experience altered her perspective on facing similar occurrences as an adult, both inside and outside of the entertainment industry. She explains how her experiences shaped her mindset saying, “I was raped and molested as a child, so for me, the world was like that since I was a child. So when I saw it in the workplace, it wasn’t foreign to me. It was like, well, that even happens within the family. It happens with people that are supposed to take care of you when you’re a child.” Within that same moving episode, Dawson discussed the aftermath of her cousin, 26-year-old Veneza Ines Vasquez’s, sudden death. She found her unresponsive in her home last year, and that experience shifted her outlook on life, making her more grateful than ever. Rosario revealed on he podcast, “Whenever my moment comes, I wanna know that it’s been a good life. I don’t wanna be marinated in the upset, because I have a lot of trauma and sadness to dwell on if I want to. But there’s so much beauty and so many things to be grateful for. And I don’t want to waste my time not being dedicated to that.” Continue reading

Kendall Jenner – Bikini Selfie – of the Day

Do you remember a time when people were a little more humble, and didn’t take pics of themselves in front of the mirror, because they didn’t have the same level of self worth or confidence, and they didn’t think people cared about pictures of them in front of the mirror, because they don’t… I do.. I remember when people took pictures of things they saw from their perspective, not pics of themselves in front of things they saw…and it’s very fucking weird for an old timer like me to grasp. Except when those mirror pics are used by girls to send me detailed pics of their vaginas…because without a mirror, the best asshole selfie Just doesn’t happen..

This time, the rapper has been popped by police for a home invasion/assault/robbery he allegedly committed last week.

He also made no secret of who did exactly what to him, and that he planned to file and press charges. ..which eventually left him looking like this. But of course, Chicago being Chicago…people are coming at Ramsay Tha Great and calling him weak for pressing charges and “getting Keef arrested” instead of retaliating with violence of his own.

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson Official Trailer The trial of the century comes to TV courtesy of ‘American Horror Story’ producer Ryan Murphy and FX . American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers.
