Here we are. After a successful first season of Slaying Goliath where we tackled every issue from Justin Bieber’s whiteness to the Ferguson protests, we’re back with another season. This time we’re staying focused on the 2016 election. Right now it looks like either Hillary or Bernie will be facing off against Donald Trump. Which means we’ll have either an evil person, a less evil person or the devil himself. Yay! Don’t you miss Obama already? Anyway one thing we wanted to do was find a Black Donald Trump supporter with common sense. That is to say that there are so many Trump Black Trump supporters who look like Uncle Toms or buffoons. But what about the smart, sensible Black people who want to vote for Trump? Well we were able to find one man and had a pretty good conversation with him and his beliefs. Yes, we disagree with him but it was a healthy debate. Take a look.
In a preview clip for the season premiere of Sister Wives, Kody Brown confronts Meri Brown on why she engaged in an online affair last year. If you recall, Meri was the victim of a catfishing scandal in which she had a relationship with a woman named Jackie Overton who had been posing as a man. In the clip, Kody accuses Meri of wanting out of their relationship. “You didn't want to be out of the family, you just wanted to be out of your relationship with me,” he tells her. A contemplative Meri finally opens up. “Kody, this person got so far into my head that I didn't know what end was up sometimes,” she reveals. “And I'm still trying to get her out of there.” But Kody still prods her. “You seemed so angry, I didn't feel like I could get to you,” he says. “I didn't feel like we could talk.” Meri finally breaks down and admits that she did harbor animosity toward him. “There were times I was angry at you, Kody. I'm not going to lie,” she confesses. “Because, if you and I had taken better care of our relationship, then I wouldn't have been in such a vulnerable place and I would have been open to other friendships that wouldn't lead to this kind of deception and evil,” she continues. “So I was angry at you for not being there for me.” While Meri may want to put this humiliation behind her, Overton revealed earlier this year that she would be releasing “sexually graphic” voicemails and photos from their relationship. Meri first opened up about the affair to her family last year on the Sister Wives reunion. “At the time it seemed so vague,” Kody said at the time. “I didn’t want to push her … she hasn’t felt well, hasn’t seemed like herself for a long time,” he lamented. Sister Wives premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.

Bless you, Kristen Bell. The actress, known for her perky personality and roles in comedies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Boss , reveals that she has struggled with depression and anxiety for years. “I'm extremely codependent,” she confessed during an interview with Off Camera . “I shatter a little bit when I think people don't like me,” she continued. “That's part of why I lead with kindness and I compensate by being very bubbly all the time, because it really hurts my feelings when I know I'm not liked.” “And I know that's not very healthy, and I fight it all the time.” Bell revealed that anxiety and depression runs in her family, and that her mother and maternal grandmother suffered as well. “There is a serotonin imbalance in our family line,” she explained. She went on to disclose that her grandmother was one of the first to receive electroshock therapy for the condition. “She would lock herself in her bedroom and drink for two days and they would slide food under the door,” she said. “It was rough.” Bell said she was diagnosed when she was young, and while she puts on a cheery facade, she does a lot of work internally and takes prescription medication. “I check in with myself and I need to exercise,” she said. “I got on a prescription when I was really young to help with my anxiety and depression, and I still take it today,” added the actress. While she admits that the public may scrutinize those who suffer, she feels no shame. Instead, she likens depression and anxiety to any other disease that should be treated medically. “The world wants to shame you for that, but in the medical community, you would never deny a diabetic his insulin.”
Derrick Rose Wants Alleged Rape Victim To Reveal Her Identity Derrick Rose is blasting the woman accusing him of rape –in her $21 million dollar lawsuit against him – with the NBA star demanding the judge throw out her entire case unless she reveals her identity in the legal battle … or else he can’t build his defense to her baseless allegations Rose was sued earlier this year by a woman – who filed the complaint under Jane Doe – accusing the NBA star and two of his friends of drugging her and then gang raping her inside her apartment. The woman explained she date Rose from 2011 to 2013 … and during the time she said Rose attempted to pressure her into doing various sexual activities such as masturbating on camera, allowing him to have sex with her friends and demanding she participate in group sex. Then in August 2013 .. the woman claimed that Rose and his two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, invited her to the NBA star’s L.A. mansion … where she claims someone slipped a drug into her drink with the aim of raping her. She claimed that she escaped the home with a friend but later in the evening Rose and his friends broke into her home and gang raped her while she was knocked out. The woman filed suit and is demanding 21 million dollar in damages The NBA star fired back at the lawsuit saying it was nothing more than a shameless money grab. Rose denied all allegations that he raped his ex-girlfriend and said she gave him and his buddies consent to have sex. Rose claimed that the woman was only upset with him due to her not being reimbursed for sex toys used during the night in question. He said that once he started ignoring her texts … she became even angrier with him. Rose demanded the entire suit be thrown out and the woman not be awarded a dime. The lawsuit is currently in the discovery phase with both sides exchanging documents and taking depositions of the parties involved. Interesting to note … Rose recently demanded the accuser hand over all condoms she kept from the night in question … which she agreed to turn over since she kept the used condoms. Gross… Then on April 26th … the accuser headed to court blasting the NBA star and his legal team for attacking her – the victim – and said their actions were unprofessional and unethical and should not be tolerated by the court. She said the NBA star has chosen to attack her femininity, morals and character in order to perpetuate incorrect myths about sexual assault. The woman also claimed that Rose has failed to show why she should have to reveal her name in the lawsuit … something he asked the judge for in the case. The woman stated that if she is forced to reveal her identity then it could prevent other sexual crimes victims from coming forward. She explained if the court ordered her to be identified it would only further shame, humiliate and embarrass her. Further, the accuser believes the NBA star’s legal team would only use her name being revealed to label her as a slut and gold digger in the press The woman demanded the court not order her to reveal her identity and to allow her to continue with the case using Jane Doe. Then on May 2nd … Rose headed back to court and blasted the woman’s attempt to remain anonymous in the legal battle. He explains that they shared a long-term intimate relationship spanning several years that included sexual intimacy. The NBA star says that he denies all allegations that he raped her and her texts clearly show her being adventurous by buying sex toys and asking him to come over to her home for consensual interaction. He states, “This is not a rape case. It’s pure and simple extortion by a plaintiff who does not want to be deposed on her own exculpatory texts because every lay witness in the case will shred Plaintiff’s story.” Rose is demanding the court compel the woman to abandon her incomplete and selective attempt to continue on with this suit under Jane Doe. He says she is a thirty year old adult and cannot continue to have the best of both worlds – using a pseudonym when she wants and referring to herself by her given name whenever the mood strikes in order to allow access to select third party witnesses and prevent Mr. Rose and the other defendants from building a defense. Further, he explains she has shown no evidence that she experienced fear, harassment, shame, humiliation or embarrassment and instead has made unsupported attacks against him and his team He points out that the woman is publicly portraying herself as sexual and even her Instagram posts include photos that are sexual in nature. Further, she is dressed in provocative attire and poses in sexually suggestive poses … and even had photos indicating she engages in sexually-charged encounters with more than one man at a time Rose explains he wishes to depose the woman’s parents in the legal battle since he believes their testimony is relevant to her claim for emotional distress … but he cannot do that since she is going under Jane Doe and therefore it’s ruining his ability to defend himself properly. He is demanding the entire lawsuit be dismissed unless she is willing to reveal her identity in the case. This is a $21 million case. Yes, victims should have a right to their anonymity, but does Rose have a valid point that he can’t defend himself properly while she remains anonymous. He wants to be able to call her parents and other known associates on the stand and use her own social media posts against her. Should he be able to? Hit the flip for the court documents.
Bodyguard Fired By Kanye West Says He Never Had Affair With Kim Kardashian A bodyguard who claims Kanye West fired him for his interactions with Kim Kardashian is speaking out about the experience via NY DailyNews Steve Stanulis, a brawny former NYPD cop who has moonlighted as a Chippendale dancer, told the Daily News he was just doing his job when West thought he was flirting with Kim Kardashian and fired him in a fit of jealousy. “I’m not having an affair with Kim Kardashian, I’m not f—ing Kim Kardashian, I’m not doing anything with Kim Kardashian,” Stanulis told the Daily News Thursday. “Kanye needs to chill out.” After his bizarre beef with West, Stanulis doesn’t think he’ll be protecting the rapper during his upcoming tour in support of his “The Life of Pablo” album. “He’s the most condescending person I’ve ever met in my life,” Stanulis said. “I’ve worked with a lot of people in his position and higher a lot less self-absorbed and more humble.” Stanulis said his time with West came to an end as he was standing guard outside the Waldorf Astoria Monday as the celebrity couple prepared for the night’s Met Gala in the hotel’s presidential suite. He went upstairs to confer with someone from the West team about transportation to the gala when Kardashian answered the door. “She was just naturally speaking to me in a normal manner,” Stanulis said. “I would describe it as her being very gracious and having a nice dialogue. I was surprised she was very nice. She’s the polar opposite with me than he was.” Stanulis found out he’d been cut loose at West’s request shortly after 6 p.m., while waiting along with the rest of the entourage to drive the stars to Anna Wintour’s big bash at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “What I could say was that him or his handlers didn’t like what they saw, the body language or what have you,” he said. “They may have thought there was something going on that wasn’t.” “My intent was not for this to happen,” Stanulis fumed. “When I’m walking outside my door and there are six guys with cameras asking me with my wife there ‘are you f—ing Kim Kardashian?’ I didn’t ask for that!” It turns out this isn’t the first negative experience the bodyguard has had with Yeezy either! Stanulis has protected West on several occasions this year — and said the pair have butted heads over Kardashian in the past. The hot-headed rapper and the chiseled bodyguard had a brief run-in at a fashion studio on Wooster St. during Fashion Week in February when West noticed Stalinus chatting with the 35-year-old “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star. “When they first asked me to do this gig again, I turned it down,” Stanulis said about his recent stint with the family. “I figured that since they were requesting me, the rapport with Kanye would be better.” The 42-year-old former NYPD officer has made looking after celebrities has business and counts Leonardo DiCaprio and Alanis Morissette among his clients. Stanulis, who is married and has three children, has also appeared in film and TV projects including “The Sopranos” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.” “Me being here and this getting this much attention, it’s basically karma f—ing him in the a$$,” Stanulis said. “That’s what this is. It’s god’s way, he has a strange way of making things right.” Are you buying it or do you think the bodyguard is just badmouthing Ye for publicity? We ask because that’s pretty much the report coming from Kimye’s camp. According to TMZ reports Stanulis wasn’t fired because it was always supposed to be a temp job: Kanye West has no issue with bodyguards talking to Kim Kardashian, and absolutely did NOT fire one for doing so. Sources close to the Wests tell TMZ … Steve Stanulis was hired by the guy in charge of their security to help out before the Met Gala. We’re told it was very clear Stanulis would only be used for the day leading up to the event. That’s it, just a temp deal … we’re told. There were reports ‘Ye axed Stanulis for talking to Kim, but we’re told Yeezy never had a confrontation with him, and in fact … everything “went very smoothly”. Our Kimye sources say Stanulis has worked with them before, but since people in their camp believe he perpetuated the firing story for some publicity … he won’t get that chance again. Welp… Sounds like everyone is on the same page. This guy and Kanye don’t need to be anywhere near each other EVER again. AKM-GSI
Move over, Florida Man. And make room for… Arizona Teen! According to Reuters, a student at Red Mountain High School in Phoenix got arrested this week after he pulled out his penis for a yearbook photo. Editors apparently did not notice the unit just hanging out of the football player’s pants… ran the revealing photo… and were then inundated with complaints after it was printed in all of the school’s yearbooks. HA! The yearbooks were printed for approximately 3,400 students, but only about 250 books had gone out at the time the school was made aware of the exposed penis. The school really hopes to get back all of these yearbooks, while each one still in the school’s possession will be edited to cover the inappropriate content. The student, meanwhile, is named Hunter Osborn. He is 19 years old and he told authorities that he was acting on a dare from a fellow football player. There are actual court documents of the case that state Hunter “exposed his penis through the top of his waistband of his football uniform pants.” We’ve shared a censored version of the offending image above. Osborn was released from custody on Sunday after being his arrest. He faces 69 counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure and one count of felony furnishing harmful items to minors because 59 students – ranging in age from 15 to 19 years old – and 10 faculty members were present at the time he pulled out his junk. The senior is yet to address this incident in public. However, told police in an interview that he knowingly exposed himself… yet was “disgusted by what he had done.” We somehow doubt that. We’re guessing he was highly entertained by what he had done. But we understand why that statement may not have gone over well with the cops.

Ted Cruz is focused on one thing and one thing only these days: Making sure Donald Trump is never elected President of the United States. The Republican hopeful is so focused on denying The Donald any shot at the Oval Office, in fact, that he didn't even notice on Sunday when his running mate nearly plummeted to her death. We exaggerate. Only slightly. Cruz and Carly Fiorina were at a campaign stop in Indiana ahead of tonight's key primary in that state when the latter introduced the former to the crowd, telling them to greet the “next President of the United States.” Cruz then walked out on to the platform… and Fiorina disappeared from view entirely. Heidi Cruz noticed the mishap right away and went to help her husband's choice for Vice President, but Ted Cruz seemingly had no clue what just happened in front of him. He does seem to eventually realize Fiorina has taken a major fall… but he doesn't actually do much of anything about it. Granted, there are hands to shake and important votes to try and win, but come on, man. Show some decency. You may have no need for a running mate after the results of the Indiana primary are counted, and Fiorina may be the Devil Woman, but still. You probably should have lent her a hand. Even Trump would have done so. Maybe. Possibly. We're not sure, actually. Watch the hilarious incident take place below:
To be honest, we have no idea what’s going on with Kourtney Kardashian’s love life at the moment. She was hooking up with Justin Bieber for a while, then it looked like she might get back together with Scott Disick, and now she appears to just be enjoying the single life. But naturally, that hasn’t stopped the Internet from claiming that the mother of three is knocked up again. A couple recent photos of Kourtney in a swimsuit have been making the rounds online, and some folks are already betting on self-consciously “unique” baby names. Rumors that Kourtney is pregnant pop up pretty regularly. In fact, pretty much anytime that she’s not confirmed to be expecting, someone in some corner of the Internet is speculating that Kourtney is knocked up. Mind you, Kourtney isn’t sporting anything that could really be called a belly in these photos, nor does she appear to have gained any weight. View Slideshow: 12 Ways Kourtney Kardashian Taught Us To Keep Our Cool There’s just the slightest shadow of something that could conceivably be called a bump. And when you’re talking about Kourtney Kardashian, that’s all it takes to get the rumor mill churning. We’re not saying for certain that Kourt’s not knocked up, but if we had to guess, we would say it’s probably a simple food baby. Maybe she’s guilty of continuing to procreate with Scott Disick, but more likely, she’s guilty of not waiting 30 minuted between eating and swimming. But hey, if she is having a fourth kid, at least she’ll have Kim to tell her how to parent . We’re sure that never gets annoying at all.

First world problems, amiright? Despite being named Vogue’s best-dressed couple at the 2016 Costume Institute Gala, Kim Kardashian is not pleased with how she looked. “Kim said she felt like she was going to fail big time,” a source told Radar Online before the gala , adding that she “was so furious” that Kanye West pressured her to wear a silver gown by their friend, Olivier Rousteing at Balmain. Kardashian put on a good face for the cameras, and told E! why she went with the robotic look. “I felt everyone was gonna go with [silver],” she explained. “I still really wanted to do it. I thought Balmain was the perfect choice for me and Kanye especially.” The real story is far different from what Kardashian told the press. “She seems so sick of wearing Balmain and she is definitely sick of Kanye calling the shots for practically every single thing she does,” another source told Radar . A few months before the year’s most anticipated gala – which draws high-profile guests including billionaire moguls, fashion designers, royalty and celebrities – Kardashian wanted to take control of her ensemble. “Kim doesn’t want to do anything risky,” a source told Radar at the time. “She wants to wear something classic and elegant. Nothing like that floral print dress Kanye persuaded her to wear in 2013 .” View Slideshow: MET Gala 2016 Fashion: Which Couple Dressed Best? 2016’s theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, which explored the contrast between handmade couture and machine-made fashion. “Kanye thinks he can totally push the envelope and have Kim in something very avant garde and unique,” the source claimed. “The theme plays to Kanye’s strengths as a fashion designer, and it’s very frustrating that Kim isn’t falling in line.” Imagine a couple citing “Met Gala Sartorial Differences” as their reason for divorce? “Kanye is very vocal about Kim’s fashion choices and is hyper-critical when he doesn’t agree with how she is presenting herself,” the source added. “They are fighting non-stop over this, and it has just gotten ridiculous.” Well, things may have turned around for the Wests, because Vogue named them last night’s Best Dressed Couple. “Thank you Vogue for making us the best dressed couple!!!” Kardashian wrote on Instagram. “THANK YOU @balmain & @olivier_rousteing for bringing us & making us the sickest looks! We love you #RobotVibes”
