Email Submit TMZ reports his body was found yesterday, “Law enforcement sources tell us one of Kristoff’s friends went to check on him at the actor’s home in San Fernando Valley, and found his body. Police and paramedics were alerted and responded to the house. We’re told Kristoff was pronounced dead on the scene. We’re told there was no sign of foul play, however one source says alcohol might have played a role.” The Emmy and NAACP Image Award winner had reportedly been struggling with mental health issues since his son, Julian, committed suicide in 2014.

No parent should ever have to bury their child, and for those who do, it is a nightmare that haunts you forever. The death of our beloved son Julian, has taken a toll on both of us. He is an actor and while he may appear whole on the outside, his heart is broken. As a society we need to start taking mental health seriously and realize that no one is immune.” SEE ALSO:  ‘Young & Restless’ Star Kristoff St. John Hospitalized For His Own Safety She continued, “Last week, an incident occurred, that pushed him to the breaking point, but was not accurately reported.

Fetty Wap Baby Mamas Lezhae and Alexis Arrested After White Castle Brawl

Posted on January 21, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's been over a week since Blac Chyna fought Alexis Skyy , and she may want to rethink challenging Alexis to Round 2. Alexis got into a fight with Lezhae Lowder. Both women are Fetty Wap's baby mamas. Things escalated when Lezhae allegedly pulled a knife and, as you'll see in this video, things did not go her way. Alexis Skyy gave birth to Alaiya Grace just over a year ago. Alaiya, Fetty Wap's daughter, was both premature and had to spend 100 days in the NICU. Lezhae Lowder has two children with the rapper and Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star. Her daughter Zaviera was born in March of 2015; and her son, Aydin, was born in March of 2018. Yes, you did the math correctly — Aydin and Alaiya were born just two months apart. Clearly, the two mothers struggle with getting along. TMZ   reports that Lezhae was arrested after she pulled a knife on Alexis. But that's not how things started. Apparently, Alexis and her entourage were partying at a New Jersey bar … one where Lezhae just happens to work. Lezhae allegedly tried to fight Alexis during that, which is … a choice. She reportedly threw a bottle at Alexis' car as the other woman was leaving. Unfortunately, it did not end there. According to the initial report (and yes, there is a new, conflicting report), Lezhae tracked down Alexis. Alexis and her pals had stopped by a White Castle (yes, really) in Patterson, New Jersey. This, TMZ reports, is where Lezhae allegedly caught up to Alexis and wanted to finish her would-be fight from earlier. When Lezhae rolled up at White Castle and (reportedly) began throwing more bottles, Alexis' friends exited their own vehicle. This is when Lezhae allegedly brandished a knife. Though Lezhae appeared to receive a bit of a beat-down in the ensuing fight, Alexis is said to have stayed out of it. The newer, conflicting report from sources close to Lezhae tells a different version of events. Lezhae's side says that she didn't follow Alexis there, but that both baby mamas just happened to have the same taste in late night meals. (To be fair, they do appear to have similar taste in men) Lezhae says that she feared for her safety when Alexis' companions jumped out of their car, which is why she brandished the knife. In the ensuing fight, she says, she was hit by multiple men but insists that she didn't threaten or harm anyone with the knife. TMZ has confirmed that Lezhae's arrest was for disorderly conduct, not for the knife or the fight. Apparently, she continued to yell at Alexis' faction even after the arrival of law enforcement officials. If police aren't sure of who the guilty party is, they either arrest everyone or the person who appears to be the bigger a-hole in the scenario. When you're yelling your head off at people in front of police, they may assume that you are the instigator. This is a bit of a mess, right? These women are both adults and, more significantly, they're both moms. In fact, their young children are all siblings. Whatever went down — whether you believe Alexis, Lezhae, or neither — should not have happened. We're just relieved that nobody died.

Jill Duggar: Risking Children’s Safety for Photo Ops?!

Posted on January 19, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Let’s be real, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard aren’t going to be winning any “Parents of the Year” awards anytime soon. This is for many reasons. One is that they’re Duggars, so many people think they practice potentially abusive techniques like blanket training , which, if you’re new, is basically putting your baby on a blanket and beating him whenever he leaves it. So, you know, he gets scared to go anywhere off the blanket and you can cook or craft or take care of your 12 other kids or whatever. Another issue with Jill and Derick is that they’ve both said some not-so-nice things about their two precious sons, Israel and Samuel. Recently, Jill seemed to admit that she loves Derick more than their children , and Derick used a bible verse to call the boys a “curse.” There are all the times that they’ve taken the kids to dangerous locations — they even went to Central America during her second pregnancy when the Zika virus was a huge concern. We could name tons of other instances in which their parenting has been criticized, but you get the picture, right? Lots of people aren’t fans of lots of the things these people do with their kids. And now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s move on to the latest issue! Jill and Duggar recently uploaded a whole bunch of pictures to their family website , and that’s nice of them. Since they got fired from Counting On for Derick’s bizarre transphobic rants about Jazz Jennings, it’s really the only way fans can keep up with them. While there were several cute photos of little Israel and Sam doing things like cuddling in a toddler bed and playing and visiting other relatives, one stood out. It’s this one of Sam: So that’s terrifying, right? Sam is only a year old, and there’s no arguing that this is just not safe. “Sam is a climber,” they captioned the photo, and yeah, we can see that. But those kinds of chairs aren’t that stable, and the way he’s perched right on the arm and leaning on the back … It really looks like he’s just a slip away from a serious accident. And you know the folks over on Reddit were not pleased with all of this. One user from the Counting On subreddit asked “How are they not getting him tf off of there? Why on earth would you take a photo? Doesn’t seem like the best parenting.” “Like … kids do stuff and you can’t always stop it … but if you can stop it, you do,” another person wrote. “You don’t just take a picture.” As someone else pointed out, “Plus taking the picture just reinforces the kids behavior because it’s giving them positive attention.” Another good point was made with “You’d think after experiencing TWO traumatic births, they’d be a little more careful with their kids.” It really is just a weird photo, you know? Many toddlers do like to climb, and some can climb themselves to dangerous situations before you can get to them. It happens. But as these Reddit users explained, the bad part is that instead of getting Sam down before he could fall, they paused to take a picture. And then they posted the picture on their website. It’s almost like they enjoy the criticism, isn’t it? View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Net Worth: Are They REALLY Broke?!

2 White Terrorists Charged With Hate Crime For Harassing Black Woman

Posted on December 17, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

S ocial media users helped investigators in Louisiana to capture two white men accused of terrorizing a Black woman at a Walmart parking lot in November. SEE ALSO: FBI Investigates Neo-Nazis Who Stomped Black Man While Celebrating ‘Martyr’s Day’ The West Monroe Police Department arrested 22-year-old Dylan Reynolds and Michael Walters , 24, on Thursday night and charged them with a hate crime, the News Star reported. Reynolds and Walters confronted the woman–calling her the N-word–when she was trying to load items she purchases into her vehicle on Nov. 29, according to the police. The unidentified woman packed her car in a hurry, jumped in her car and drove away while the two men continued yelling racial slurs at her. When her car slowed down for a speed bump, one of the suspects chased her vehicle on foot while pushing an empty shopping cart. He slammed the cart into the rear of her car, causing more than $1,000 in damages and putting her safety at risk while she tried to escape. The men jumped into a dark gray Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck and fled, but they were caught on the store’s surveillance cameras. UPDATE: West Monroe Walmart hate crime suspects arrested — https://t.co/1RNhtNEpzu #WestMonroe #news pic.twitter.com/dIbGg2s5TA — KTVE – KARD (@MyArkLaMiss) December 14, 2018 The arrests came days after the FBI and Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office in Washington state  launched a hate crimes investigation  on Dec. 11 against white supremacists arrested for beating a Black man on Dec. 8, while they were in town to celebrate the so-called “Martyr’s Day,” which commemorates the death of a neo-Nazi. The investigation involved eight neo-Nazis arrested for assaulting an African-American DJ at a nightclub in Lynnwood. Martyr’s Day, Dec. 8, commemorates the anniversary of a hateful white man who led a domestic terrorist group called The Order in the mid-1980s. He has become an inspiration for the modern white supremacy movement after he was killed in a shootout with FBI agents in Washington state, according to the  Southern Poverty Law Center , a hate crimes watchdog organization. In West Monroe, the police launched a manhunt for Reynolds and Walters after they fled the Walmart parking lot. Social media users identified the Dodge truck on Reynolds’ Facebook page and recognized the duo from the surveillance video. Bond for each man was set at $20,000 on the hate crime charge.

Leida Margaretha and Eric Rosenbrook QUIT 90 Day Fiance Over Death Threats

Posted on December 12, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As you may remember from this week's 90 Day Fiance recap , Leida Margaretha made her worst impression yet upon viewers. Her disregard for Eric's family struck such a nerve that some inexcusable trolls bombarded her social media with graphic death threats. Struggling through tears, Leida lashes out at the people who have threatened the life of her, Eric, and her 5-year-old son. Leida Margaretha and Eric Rosenbrook released a very dramatic video on Instagram in response to death threats that they have received. We have included that video for you to watch. Though Eric appears to be calmly dissociating or perhaps watching television in the background, Leida is in tears and clearly distraught. “We put our lives in danger. We put our lives on the front lines,” Leida laments. “This is not fair,” she continues. “This is not worth it at all. We are never gonna do this again.” “I swear to God,” Leida vows. “Once the contract is done, we will reveal everything that they never showed you on the show.” “How can people wish me to die?” Leida asks through tears. “This is not fair,” she exclaims, growing increasingly distraught as the video goes on. “I am a human too,” she reminds 90 Day Fiance viewers. “And when I signed up for this,” Leida wails. “I didn't know. We didn't know they're going to portray us that bad.” Eric chimes in: “And TLC's not going to do anything about it, of course.” Leida also wrote out a message sharing her frustrations. “No we won’t be on the next season,” Leida writes. “Sharp doesn’t care about the death threats. We will deal everything on our own.” “Death threats are not acceptable under any circumstances,” Leida affirms. No reality star's drama has ever warranted death threats, folks. “If I made those death threats by myself I wouldn’t let the authorities involved,” she says, referring to theories that she is fabricating the threats for attention. “Whoever says, 'Boohoo Leida this is on you'… Thank you so much,” she writes. “And,” she continues. “I pray you will never experience the same way like I have.” “My son doesn’t deserve to be killed or kidnapped,” Leida points out. “I keep it real. I never lie,” she says. “I value honesty and I hope it will help me at the court later.” Eric also wrote on Instagram. “I get why many of you hate on us so much that feel the need to contact us and spew your hate,” he says. “But for the love of God, leave her son alone!” Eric implores the couple's haters. Eric points out: “He doesn’t deserve any of this from any of you!” He's right. Whatever you think of Leida and Eric, Leida's 5-year-old son has done nothing wrong. But also, just don't send death threats. RadarOnline spoke to the police, who confirmed that they had been in contact with Eric and Leida about the death threats. “An officer was dispatched because Leida received threatening messages through social media,” Chief of Police Mark Schauf reports. “The officer gave them advice,” Schauf shares. “And counseled them on what they could do to ensure their safety.” Police do not offer 'round-the-clock protection as if they were bodyguards, even to people who have received death threats. There just aren't enough police officers to give everyone a bodyguard. Schauf explains: “They asked for police presence because of their profile on 90 Day Fiance. ” No matter what you think of Leida as a girlfriend or even a human being, don't send her or anyone else any death threats.

The Voice Recap: Which Two Singers Got Sent Home?

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Voice continued the process of whittling down the contestants as we are fast approaching the season finale.  With Monday’s performance show giving fans much of the same as the 13 hopefuls continued to sing as best they could, it was time for two to be sent home during Tuesday’s results show.  As is the norm with these overstuffed episodes, there were performances that were dull and thrown in there just to pad out the episode.  But who got sent to safety? Sent to Safety Reagan Strange (Team Adam) Kirk Jay (Team Blake) Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer) Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) DeAndre Nico (Team Adam) Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly) MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer) Dave Fenley (Team Blake) Sarah Grace (Team Kelly) That left Lynnea Moorer, SandyRedd, and Tyke James to duke it out for that final spot in the live shows.  SandyRedd (Team Jennifer) – “Believer” With some of the best vocals this season, Sandy Redd’s performance was mediocre at best. Viewers know she can sing, but it sounded like there were technical issues with this one.  It was like the show was purposefully making her sound worse, and that’s a big no-no.  Tyke James (Team Adam) – “Home” Tyke was saved by his coach last week, but after some more terrible performances, he’s back in the bottom two. It’s hardly surprising.  He’s not a great singer, and he continued to drive that home during this dud of number. Did he do enough to make it through?  Not a chance in hell.  Lynnea Moorer (Team Kelly) – “If I Ain’t Got You” Lynnea returned to the bottom on Tuesday. Initially, she never got a chair to turn at the Blinds, so she went on to move to the Comeback Stage.  Her vocals improved for sure, but SandyRedd was still the best performer out of these three save me ones.  In the end, Lynnea got yet another reprieve while SandyRedd and Tyke James were sent home.  Okay then.  The Voice continues Mondays on NBC.  View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

Black Republican Mia Love Loses After Playing The Race Card

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Go here to see the original:

U tah’s Republican Rep. Mia Love , who’s Black, tried everything—including playing the race card against Democrats—to retain her congressional seat. But she still came up short. See Also: Mo’ Money? GOP’s Mia Love Reportedly Wants To Keep More Campaign Dollars Despite Breaking Law Love was defeated in her bid for a third term in Congress by Democrat Ben McAdams who held a lead of about 700 votes two weeks after Election Day, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday. It’s unclear what the political future holds for Love, who made history as the first and only Black Republican woman in Congress. Many in the GOP hoped that her political success would help to bring racial diversity to the party. Rep. Mia Love loses to Democrat in Utah | Via Politico https://t.co/BvN8MISoeu — SafetyPin-Daily (@SafetyPinDaily) November 21, 2018 Utah is one of the reddest states in the nation, yet Love found herself in a tight race against McAdams. In September, she went on Fox News radio and accused the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee of targeting her seat because she’s Black. “They do not like the fact that I am a Black female Republican doing everything I possibly can to talk about the issues that help people go from the lowest common denominator up,” Love said in the interview. Her re-election bid was also derailed by a campaign finance scandal . Love was in hot water with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) over her team improperly raising more than a million dollars for a primary election that was never expected to happen–a violation of campaign rules. Adding salt to her wounds, President Donald Trump mocked Love’s expected campaign loss the day after the midterms . “Mia Love gave me no love and she lost,” Trump said, naming Love among incumbent House members who didn’t shower him with praise and were defeated. “Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia.” SEE ALSO: Exclusive: Macy’s Apologizes For Holiday Ad Depicting Traditional Families Without Black Dads Kim Porter’s Autopsy Results Revealed As Questions Linger In Model’s Death [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3836986″ overlay=”true”]

Teresa Giudice: My Husband Getting Deported Just Sucks!

Posted on November 6, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Teresa Giudice talked more candidly than ever before today about the very unusual and unfortunate situation affecting her family. Appearing as a guest on Good Morning America, the Real Housewives of New Jersey mainstay discussed her husband’s deportation at length. (It really is true: Joe Giudice will be deported back to Italy after he’s released from prison in 2019 because he committed a felony and he never became a U.S. citizen, despite moving here for good as a child.) Teresa described the sentencing, which a judge handed down last month, as “heartbreaking” during her spot on GMA. She then elaborated as follows: “Very sad. The girls are really upset. You know, it’s hard for them … Adults can handle anything. It’s hard for children to go through this. They’re asking themselves, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ “Like, ‘I want my daddy to come home.'” Teresa and Joe are parents to a quartet of daughters: Gia, 17, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 12, and Audriana, 9. Both Gia and Milania have made public pleas for the deportation ruling to be overturned, with the former writing on Instagram : “My father is no threat to society. He is one of the most warm hearted people I know. “My father did his time. And learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person?” Teresa, meanwhile, says she’s been getting support herself from Gia, saying on Good Morning America: “I tell her every day she’s like the rock of her sisters. She’s helping me, you know, explain things to them – because my third daughter is having a really hard time with this.” In 2014, Teresa and Joe each pleaded guilty to 41 counts of fraud, including mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. Moreover, Joe admitted that he did not pay approximately $200,000 in taxes. It totally sucks that four young girls will be living far apart from their father, but it’s hard to have too much sympathy for rich people who break the law and try to game the system. Teresa served 11 months behind bars in 2015; Joe’s 41-month sentence started the following year. Then, on October 10, a judge found the restaurateur “deportable and ineligible for any kind of relief,” ordering him to leave the United States when his sentence concludes in March. Giudice has said she will remain by Joe’s side even when he leaves the country, but various insiders have said otherwise. They predict a divorce. “I never thought I would be in this position,” Teresa said on GMA, adding: “We’ve been through a lot. I’ve gone through ups and downs, like being angry – but listen, I have to stay strong. “I have four beautiful daughters that, you know, they need their mommy.” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! What’s the plan moving forward? Where will Teresa go from here? “Just take it one day at a time,” she concluded this morning. “That’s it.”

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: Headed to Trial Over Custody?!

Posted on November 6, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The long, ugly, messy custody battle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie isn’t ending any time soon, folks. The two have been arguing over Brad’s unpaid child support , and it looks like they’ve given up on resolving this without a judge. The exes formerly known as Brangelina are going to have a custody trial. It’s been two years since this once-famously in love couple split. Apparently, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt haven’t been able to settle custody issues themselves in all of that time. TMZ   reports that these bitter exes are going to have a custody trial. Brad and Angelina have filed documents with an L.A. Superior Court Judge. They will have until June of 2019 to work out a custody arrangement for their shared children. And they will have the help of a private judge. According to TMZ , the custody trial is scheduled to begin nearly a month from now, on December 4. Angelina and Brad haven’t been able to reconcile their different views of how custody should be arranged. It seems doubtful that a few more weeks will give them time to see eye-to-eye. See, Angelina is seeking sole physical custody of their six children. In the mean time, Brad wants a fifty-fifty split — joint custody. Apparently the custody trial itself is expected to last anywhere from two to three weeks. But that is only part of the process. The judge will have to pour over the evidence and arguments presented at trial and reach a verdict regarding custody. It also falls to this judge to handle the couple’s property settlement. Angelina and Brad did not have a prenup. Given that they are both intensely wealthy and extremely bitter towards each other, this is one of the worst situations for not having a prenup. Brad has been seriously bitter and complained that Angelina has denied him access to his own children. Recently, the court forced Angelina to allow Brad some time with the children. She was also required to give him their phone numbers and allow them to communicate with him. If Brad gets his way in court, he’ll get them with him half of the time, and there will be little to nothing that Angelina can do about it. If Angelina gets her way, it’s unlikely that she’ll be forced to hand over access to the six children. If you recall the circumstances of their divorce in the first place, it’s no mystery why Angelina is so reluctant to expose her children to Brad. It was only two years ago that something happened on the couple’s private plane. Whatever the specifics of the reported altercation between Brad and the couple’s son, Maddox, it led Angelina to file for divorce the next day. She also reported Brad PItt to the FBi — for child abuse. Maddox is old enough that this custody ruling is unlikely to impact him. But it seems likely that, after whatever she witnessed, Angelina is afraid that history will repeat itself. She can’t risk it. But she may have no choice, depending upon what this judge decides. Courts tend to err on the side of giving parents access to their children, out of a belief that this is ultimately best for the child. If Brad convinces the court that he’s probably not a danger to their children, Angelina will be hard pressed to get anything more than joint custody. Whatever happens, we hope that the court makes the right decision for the safety and well-being of the children. That, in the end, is all that matters.
