Stephanie Yeboah posted a story on Twitter explaining a situation where she was subjected to a “#PullAPig” date from a white man who asked her out only on a dare from her friends. She’s since elaborated on the story on Refinery29 and explained how she met the man named “Robert” on Bumble and agreed to go on a date with him. Mind you this was her first date in two years. Stephanie says Robert seemed to prefer that she was plus-size and noted that sometimes on dating profiles she felt obligated to mention her weight. “It seems a bit silly to have to declare something as trivial as one’s weight on an app, but due to how a large percentage of plus-size women are treated in the dating world, some of us choose to add a note about our weight to our profiles, almost as some kind of ‘disclaimer’. It’s even worse when your weight intersects with something such as race or gender.” When their date night finally came Stephanie posted a picture on Twitter noting that she was “terrified” but ready to go meet the man for drinks. Last minute selfie before a first date. You can literally see the terror in my face. I’m not used to this life. pic.twitter.com/TfKn2mDIYn — Stephanie Yeboah (@NerdAboutTown) December 12, 2018 Stephanie said the date went well and they enjoyed each other’s company with Robert even giving her a small gift and kissing her at the end of the night. Then on their second date, Robert came over for dinner and they had sex. He then went completely ghost on her and THAT’s when things went left. A friend of Robert reached out and told Stephanie that Robert stopped contacted her because he’d been “dared to pull a fat chick” and successfully did so even winning a sum of money his friends had pooled. The term for a cruel joke like that is “pull a pig”; a dating prank that involves either pulling an unattractive or plus-size person. Stephanie recapped the humiliation she felt on Refinery29 and said she was mortified. “I felt sick. A wave of embarrassment and humiliation washed over me, and I went into my bathroom and cried. I had been terrified of meeting and talking to men for fear of them judging my appearance. As much as I know that I am an awesome person, I’m blindingly aware that the way I look is not what mainstream society considers to be ‘beautiful’, and that’s something I always have to think about and carry with me.” She also added that she shared her story to raise awareness about the dip-sh***d dummies targeting plus-size women. She says however that men, in particular, are trolling her about it and suggesting that she lose weight to be treated like an actual human being. “Luckily (or maybe unluckily?) I had already deleted Robert’s number from my phone after not hearing from him for a couple of weeks, so I have no way to contact and chastise him for what he did. I decided to ignore the friend’s email and used Twitter to tell my story, in the hope of opening up the conversation about the way plus-size women are treated. My aim was to raise awareness, and while I received some amazing, positive feedback, it also came with its share of trolling and horrible comments – almost all from men, who were either laughing at the situation or suggesting I change my appearance in order to be treated better next time.” Wow, people are disgusting. There’s some bad karma coming “Robert’s” way and the way of the messy miserables trolling her over her experience. Have you ever heard of #PullAPig??? What do YOU think about Stephanie’s story???

Kelly Scandal An “Empire” star is currently trending and it’s unfortunately for ALL the wrong reasons. Taraji P. Henson is getting unceremoniously dragged for a comment she made on her IG story about Harvey Weinstein. The star who’s receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame January 28 offered a surprising reaction to the current R. Kelly criticism. Earlier today Taraji posted on her IG story a comparison between the singer and the embattled former film producer that’s got people talking. “Checking on these #mute for a friend,” wrote Taraji. She then looked up the numerous #MuteRKelly hashtags before typing in #MuteWeinstein which only had one post. She obviously felt like she hit fans with the Big Joker because she then went back and searched #MuteHarveyWeinstein to prove that that hashtag too had little to no use. Unfortunately for Taraji, Harvey’s not a recording artist so it would make sense that there aren’t a flurry of “mute” posts in full swing for him. Not only that, Harvey’s sexual misconduct was part of the massive “Me Too” movement that prompted a bevy of people to wear all-black to the 2018 Golden Globes. Source: Kevork Djansezian/NBC / Contributor / Getty And did our beautiful bob donning friend forget that there’s an entire sexual assault trial pending against Weinstein tentatively scheduled for May 6? Sounds like a “muting” to us…but hey, what do we know? Fans are bewildered by Taraji’s behavior and they’re questioning what she possibly hoped to accomplish. Taraji. Taraji. I don’t understand why y’all older black folk do this every time. The “absence” of outrage in YOUR bubble, doesn’t mean it does not exist. Weinstein is literally on trial as we speak. Which is more than we’ll ever get for R. Kelly. Why the hell would you do this? — Jenn E. Penny (@JennE_Penny) January 22, 2019 All of this Auntie Outrage over R. Kelly's “downfall” is so dishonest anyway bc Taraji & Erykah & the rest don't care about Weinstein. They just want R. Kelly to be able to step in the name of pedophilia at his leisure bc part of them blame his victims but I'm being too loud. — Eunice Chantilly's tacky barrette. (@RafiDAngelo) January 22, 2019 This…is…all…bad. She’s since tweeted that R. Kelly is “guilty and wrong.” LET ME BE CLEAR R. KELLY IS GUILTY AND WRONG AND SHOULD BE MUTED PERIOD!!!!! — Taraji P. Henson (@TherealTaraji) January 22, 2019 Taraji, there is no misguided attack on R. Kelly that should be steered toward a white man. Every bit of criticism, every raised eyebrow, every possible investigation, every possible lawsuit is warranted and you trying to turn us toward the white gaze is NOT effective. You’ve gotta be better than that. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty More on the flip.

The Washington Post reports that people are texting their mothers asking them how to cook a 25-pound turkey in the microwave, and posting the results. The results are hilarious and ranging from mothers laughing hysterically to some moms imploring their kids to just buy a bird from a restaurant and asking if they’ve been drinking. “R u drunk????” wrote one mom. “Please tell me you’re kidding,” Luke Bryan’s wife Caroline Bryan wrote her niece. https://www.instagram.com/linabryan3/?utm_source=ig_embed #25LBturkeychallenge pic.twitter.com/lyhzOdOasp — Lex Rash (@lexrash_) November 18, 2018 Butterball has since responded via The Today Show and they’re imploring people to cook turkey thoroughly if they HAVE to put it in a microwave.” “Microwave it for 4 minutes per pound on full power to get the cooking process started.” Then you baste it and “flip the turkey over and cook it at 50 percent power for 8 minutes per pound (72 minutes total).” We started microwaving turkeys before hashtags even existed.

That’s the question that’s being asked now that two exes are publicly bashing each other AGAIN. Bow Wow and Erica Mena have been at war on social media this weekend over a comment Erica made about her #GUHHATL ex. After TheShadeRoom posted a video of Shad asking women why they’d want to eat at Applebee’s instead of Nobu (Uh, what?), Erica commented; “Can y’all forget I ever dealt with him PLEASE!” The comment apparently pissed off Shad because he brought up an old social media rumor that Erica Mena slept with over 500 people, and Erica clapped back in an EPIC way. “Nope. Just like we won’t forget them 500 bodies,” said Shad. “You mean the 500 bodies you stayed eating between my legs standing up little man,” replied Erica. That help you grow your little whiskers.” Source: Bennett Raglin/BET / Getty WOO CHILE, THE DISRESPECT. Bow’s since taken things waaaaay left and he’s now threatening to release their sex tape. Mind you revenge porn is a CRIME in California. Erica’s since said they’ll she hire Lisa Bloom to sue him if he leaks their intimate moments. “Erica you don’t wanna do it. Trust me I got you on tape. Don’t make me leak the tape!” wrote Bow on his Instagram story. “Lisa bloom already on my line,” said Erica. “But this little girl has nothing on me. Be my guest weirdo! I’m read to ruin you anytime you ready” Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Things have been nasty between Bow and Erica for a while now. After their 2015 breakup, Erica claimed that Bow Wow was abusive and he claimed that she lied about his sex game, at one point even tattooing his name on her privates. Bow later said on an episode of “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” however that Erica was “the one that got away.” Guess he’s over her now. Source: Ethan Miller / Getty See more Bow Wow V.S.

According to Deadline , Halle Berry and Lena Waithe will be executive producers on a 10-episode half-hour BET Networks and Paramount Television produced series. The show will be out next year and according to Lena will be more of a “sequel” than a remake. Deadline adds that it will focus on the modern-day offspring of Halle Berry and Eddie Murphy’s characters with Ben Cory Jones working as showrunner. “I’m thrilled to team up with Lena on this project as she is without a doubt a leading voice of her generation and a trail blazer in her own right,” said Halle Berry said in a statement Monday. “I’m truly excited to be a part of bringing this iconic and beloved film to the small screen.” Lena’s also assuring fans that she and Halle “won’t f*** it up.” We won’t . https://t.co/b1Di6fkBWa — Lena Waithe (@LenaWaithe) September 24, 2018 We trust her, Lena’s yet to mess up so there’s some real potential here with this show.
