Strong Swirl Sweetness: Divorced Aisha Tyler Says She’s Found ‘True Love’ With A Woman

Lester Cohen/WireImage Aisha Tyler Says She’s Found “True Love” With Emily Bett Richards Aisha Tyler is back in love. The former “The Talk” co-host seemingly confirmed to fans that she’s not only coupled up, she’s in a happy, swirly, same-sex relationship. As previously reported Aisha and her husband Jeff Tietjens announced their divorce in 2016 and Aisha was ordered to pay $2 million plus $31,000 a month in spousal support. She tearfully announced the news on “The Talk” and was adamant that their marriage didn’t fail. “Even though we’re separating, all I want for him is joy and fulfillment in whatever he chooses to do in his life next. And whatever I can do to help him do that, I want to do it,’ Aisha said on Monday’s show. ‘I don’t, not in any way, see this relationship as a failure. I was with this extraordinary person,’ she explained. ‘I had this extraordinary love affair for 25 years of my life. And that is how I see it.’ ‘He’s a wonderful person,’ she continued. ‘He’s been my best friend for almost my entire life. I’ll always, always love him.” She’s since moved on and it looks like it’s with none other than “Arrow” actress Emily Bett Rickards. “True love,” she captioned a strip of photos of them kissing and canoodling. Prior to the “true love” picture, Aisha posted a birthday message to Emily and gushed over her love for her. “Happy happy birthday @emilybett! I could go on here about how much you mean to me, but I am going to tell you directly into your lovely face instead like an actual living human being.” It CLEARLY looks like they’re together and happier than ever. Aisha’s also been blasting Trump’s treatment for the LGBTQ community, so she’s seemingly out. Good for them!

Uncle Toms: Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Should Never Be Taken Down

Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Is Ok Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson thinks NASCAR fans should be allowed to fly Confederate flags on private property, he said at an event with racing legend Richard Petty on Monday. Via SI : The controversy surrounding the flag and NASCAR reached a peak this summer when racing fans continued to fly the flag in the wake of a racially motivated killing in Charleston, S.C., when nine black churchgoers were murdered by a white man. Petty called the debate over the flag, which is considered a symbol of southern pride by many who display it at racing events, “a passing fancy.” Carson, who is the only African-American candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, said on Monday that people should be permitted to fly the flag if they want to, even if it is considered a hate symbol by many. “Swastikas are a symbol of hate for some people, too. And yet they still exist in museums and places like that,” Carson told the Associated Press. “If it’s a majority of people in that area who want it to fly, I certainly wouldn’t take it down.” Petty, who retired from racing in 1992, informally endorsed Carson and called him “very humane.” Really?!?

North Carolina Teacher Resigns Over Backlash After Reading Gay Book To 3rd Grade Class

North Carolina Teacher Resigns After Reading Gay Book To Class Omar Currie and Meg Goodhand, respectively a teacher and vice principal of Efland-Cheeks Elementary School, have resigned over controversy surrounding a gay fairy tale that Currie read to third graders . Via The Grio : Currie read “King & King,” a story in which two princes fall in love and get married, after one of his students was called “gay” in a derogatory manner and was told that he was acting too much like a girl. Although the book had been upheld by a school review committee, Principal Kiley Brown told Currie that parents must receive a list of all books read, and that’s when things went downhill. Parent Brandy Davis and two other people filed formal complaints about the book, and Davis went on to appeal the ruling by the school review committee concerning the book. “I’m just disappointed,” Currie said on Monday. He also said that he would prepare remarks but was unsure if he would even speak. Currie has had five job interviews, all positive, including a few interviews for positions in Durham Public Schools. “It’s nice to be told by administrators that my actions were correct,” he said. “I still want to be very involved in the Efland community,” he continued, saying that he plans to be involved in tutoring and mentoring programs. Do you think the teacher should have resigned?

Of all the places and days for this man to take his own life… Man Commits Suicide In Wife’s Hospital Room After She Gives Birth The birth of a new baby was overshadowed by a horrific tragedy for one Houston couple after the father of the child shot himself to death inside the hospital room where his wife had just given birth three hours earlier. via Chicago Tribune A Houston man shot himself to death in his wife’s hospital room on Sunday, 3 1/2 hours after she had given birth to their baby, police said. “Family members said he has been distraught recently,” Houston police spokesman John Cannon said on Monday. The man, whose identity has not been released, shot himself in a private room at Willowbrook Methodist Hospital in Northwest Houston on Sunday afternoon, Cannon said. He died shortly after being transported to another hospital, according to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. His wife, who gave birth earlier on Sunday, was not injured, and Cannon said the baby was not in the room at the time. What a terrible day this turned out to be for this family, despite a new life being brought into the world. Continue reading

Elsewhere In The World: Woman And Her Baby Bleed To Death On The Side Of The Road While Motorists Pass Them By

Jesus take the wheel… Mother And Infant Child Bleed To Death On Roadside As Drivers Pass By A wife and mother of two young children has sadly lost her life along with her infant son after they were struck by a truck while riding on a family motorcycle inside of a highway tunnel in Jaipur, India. via  Hindustan Times In a shocking case of public apathy, a man lay on the road crying for help inside a tunnel next to the bodies of his wife and infant daughter with nobody stopping by for around 40 minutes after a speeding truck hit his motorcycle. The 26-year-old woman and the eight-month-old infant who were run over by the truck died inside the newly opened Ghat Ki Guni tunnel in Jaipur on Sunday while the man and his son escaped with minor injuries. Police said the injured husband kept crying for help for around 40 minutes but the motorists ignored their cries and every vehicle passed by without stopping delaying prompt medical treatment. CCTV footages showed that the woman’s husband and his four-year-old son beseeched passers-by for help for almost 10 minutes. However, no one stopped to help them, police said. The accident victims were attended to only when a staffer of a toll booth noticed the crying husband and his son inside the tunnel on a CCTV monitor. “Kanhaiya Lal along with his 26-year old wife Guddi, four-year- old son Tanish and eight-month-old Arushi was on his way to in-laws’ house in Luniawas village from their house in Thikariya village yesterday when a speeding truck hit their motorcycle 300 metres inside the tunnel,” police said on Monday. Apparently, it’s common for a family of four to travel on a two-wheeler in this country, although travel through this particular tunnel is banned. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this family.

George Zimmerman Broke: Trayvon Martin Killer to Seek Public Help With Legal Fees

Trayvon Martin murder suspect George Zimmerman is nearly broke, his lawyer said on Monday, and plans to ask the public to pay for his defense. “He really has to live as a hermit, unfortunately,” said Mark O’Mara of his client, who is awaiting trial. “He’s not doing well. He’s getting by.” His legal-defense fund, which once hovered around $210,000, is down to $50,000, with $20,000 in outstanding bills and no money coming in . George and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman , are out of work, living in hiding in Seminole County, and spending a ton deal of money on security. “Seminole County is unquestionably the most dangerous county, most expensive county for him to be in,” O’Mara told the media this week. He intends to ask the court to declare George Zimmerman indigent, which would mean that he needs the public to pay for his legal expenses. Zimmerman, again is free on bail, also will ask a judge to let him leave the county. “I want him safe. If he’s out of state, so be it,” O’Mara said. The request to be declared indigent will be awkward, given that he was raking in money this year – and had his bail revoked for not disclosing it. Zimmerman, from his cell at the Seminole County Jail, was directing his wife to move the money from one account to another in $9,990 chunks. Presumably, this was done to appear broke and qualify for a lower bond amount; in any case, O’Mara claimed he never knew about those funds. In any case, Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, is charged with second-degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen. Zimmerman says he acted in self-defense, that the 17-year-old punched him and broke his nose, then got on top of him, threatening his life. But prosecutors allege Zimmerman is guilty of racial profiling, spotting the African-American teen, suspiciously following him, then killing him. Investigators say he missed opportunities to diffuse tension , though he has pleaded not guilty on all charges. His trial will be closely watched. Zimmerman apologized to Trayvon Martin’s parents at his first bail hearing and a second time in an interview on Fox News last month.
