Wendy Williams Admits Knowing About Kevin Hunter’s Infidelity Wendy Williams is speaking candidly on her divorce and admitting to knowing something was amiss in her marriage. The talk show host was a guest on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy and she told her buddy Andy Cohen that she chose to stay with dirty doggin’ Kevin Hunter because of her son. According to Wendy, she stayed with Kevin so that Kevin Jr.’s life wouldn’t be uprooted. Now that he’s away in college, she has more freedom. “I had to get my ducks in a row. I knew a lot of things for years,” she said, “but my son was at home. It wasn’t fair to him. I’m not going grab his hand and flee the scenes and move zip codes. Now he has to move high schools and stuff like that — he’s just making friends. Now he’s away in college, and the person I am now is very single because he’s not living with me. He goes to school in Miami.” She also admitted that when those damning Daily Mail photos came out of Kevin and his alleged mistress Sharina Hudson, she already had pics of her own and would’ve left him regardless. She also added that she drew the line at Kevin fathering the woman’s baby. “I can take a lot,” she said, “but I’m not raising a family.” When Cohen pressed if she “would still be in it,” Williams replied, “My marriage?” and asked, “Are you out of your mind?” “No, dear, no. I can take a lot, but I’m not raising a family.” That’s not all, however, Wendy also spoke on those rumors that she hot girl summerily smooched Meek Mill—-hit the flip.
Source: Leon Prevost / Radio One Digital Oh damn, this is one of those interviews! Trouble represents Edgewood, Atlanta to the fullest from his walk to his movements and more. But, Trouble also may have claim to the wildest pool party of 2019. Cucumbers, twerkers, and a #SheAWinner Challenge. Hell, even Boosie had to make a face like, “Damn, this is wild!” So, as fate would have it, Trouble pulls up and we chop it up and he breaks down all of it and how wild the party got, why social media backlash isn’t going to affect him or slow up his movement, why he gave BeatKing his props with the cucumber movement and why he wants NONE of his younger family members jumping out there on social media dealing with cucumbers. At least the produce section is having a hot summer! Watch the full interview below.

Source: Stephen J. Cohen / Getty When I interviewed Cynthia Bailey at the Radio One Raleigh Women’s Empowerment event in April, I asked her about her boyfriend Mike Hill and she blushed a little before gushing how they were just with each other the day before in LA. Her face lit up, this was undoubtedly a woman in love. A Real Housewives of Atlanta fan from Season One, I knew that Bailey was not the type to rush into marriage (or even really desire it); nevertheless, Mike Hill was undoubtedly about to change her mind. On stage I asked if she would ever marry Hill and she blushed and replied yes to the entire crowd oohing and ahhing. View this post on Instagram never give up on love. we are all deserving of the best feeling in the . trust God & go with your heart. God’s plan, God’s will & God’s speed, not yours. always believe. never stop. never settle. be happy. and grateful. love can show up when you least expect it & in the unlikeliest of places. thank u my friend @iamsteveharveytv. and when it happens, don’t walk, run toward it. and enjoy. life is too short @itsmikehill @noellerobinson @kayylahill @aaashlee @people @courtneyajinca @annadecodorniuoficial #familia #CHill #love #lifeis2short #believer @solomonbrothers @simongjewelry A post shared by Cynthia Bailey (@cynthiabailey10) on Jul 29, 2019 at 7:35am PDT Fast forward to the opening of the Bailey Wine Cellar and what was more exciting than her new business venture was that she also gained a fiancé. Mike Hill proposed to the 52-year-old at the launch and she said yes. The model looked absolutely gorgeous on her romantic day, wearing a shirt dress by Sai Sankoh . We caught up with the West African designer who gave us all the exclusive details on the look. View this post on Instagram wow! so many beautiful, exciting & positive things happened this week! i didn't want to forget to thank everyone for coming out to support my official @thebaileywinecellar launch. it was amazing & i appreciate you all. follow @thebaileywinecellar for all your desires! p.s on a roll with this ol’ decor: @courtneyajinca A post shared by Cynthia Bailey (@cynthiabailey10) on Jul 28, 2019 at 8:36pm PDT Sankoh gushed, “Cynthia is easily one of my favorite housewives, she always seems so sweet, plus she is beautiful and tall and I just had a feeling my pieces would work well for her. It’s such a fun piece and I loved the sleeves, my dresses are petty long and flowy and it takes a confident woman to pull it off. She looked incredible.” Naturally, I went on the website to try and score this dress, only to discover it’s sold out and no longer on site. Beauties, never fear, Sankoh shared that it will be re-stocked in September. Source: http://www.saisankoh.com / Courtesy of Sai Sankoh From parousing the website, you see beautiful African-inspired pieces and Sankoh revealed, “All my prints are custom made and most of my pieces are made in India.” When you go on the website, each piece has a description of the type of woman that’s waring it. The above is called the Maldives Goddess Kaftan ($295.00, saisankoh.com ) and describes the woman buying the piece as “a traveler who spends six months out of the year visiting foreign destinations.” Sankoh stated, “I wanted to relate to every woman: the boss lady, the full time mother that needs a vacation, the single lady that wants to have a memorable night out in Miami. When my customers read the stories they always send me feedback, like, ‘Hey, I’m a doctor and I have been so busy and I needed this vacation, and this is totally about me.” It’s the beautiful detailing in the pieces and touches like this that make this brand special. Inclusivity within the brand doesn’t just stop at what type of woman you are; Sankoh makes sure that women of all sizes can shop as well, going up to a 3XL in certain styles. Sankoh explained, “I am naturally a curvy woman, meaning I have a butt, and I love to accentuate it. All that is required to wear my pieces is confidence, and I saw a big demand for curvy women wanting glamorous travel wear, and I needed to fulfill that.” The kaftans are truly one size fit all and look great on an array of body shapes and sizes. I’m so here for glamour resort wear and diverting from the typical looks that everyone else is shopping. Custom prints mean that you will have unique looks. While Cynthia’s dress is currently sold out, here are five of my favorite pieces from the site to shop. Let me know which ones are your favorite!
Source: John Greim / Getty If CNN can pull it off, it will have an essential dream team of all-Black panelists for an upcoming political roundtable show. April Ryan, Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Bakari Sellers all made a recent appearance together on the network during one of its morning shows, and it appears the chemistry was undeniable. Page Six reports : We’re told the cable network hopes to hire regular CNN contributors April Ryan, Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers as panelists for a brand-new show. The plan was kicked into high gear following the positive response the group received after appearing on the network’s morning show, “New Day With Alisyn Camerota and John Berman” during the Democratic debates last week. “It was the most excitement on that morning show since Chris Cuomo left as co-anchor,” a source told us. “CNN is fast-tracking talks … to develop it into a stand-alone show. The early chatter is that it could start as a weekend show that would rival MSNBC’s programming with Joy Reid, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Kendis Gibson.” Sounds promising. Hopefully, CNN can pull this off. — Photo: Getty
