Daaamn: Bus Rider Slashes Woman Who Touches Her Dog & Slices The Victim’s Girlfriend

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Benny Hollywood

Source: Angelo Merendino / Getty A Harmless Offense Ends In Stitches One New York bus rider went OFF when a passenger tried to put her humanely paws on her dog, so much so that the dog owner slashed the passenger with a knife. The scene went down in the Bronx on a BX2 bus at around 2:15 p.m. on Monday. Imzadi Henriquez was the unfortunate victim of the dog-owner’s blade. “I put my hand out so the dog could smell my hand,” the 22-year-old told New York Daily News.  “She got mad at that and ended up smacking my hand.” Henriquez was riding the bus with her 20-year-old girlfriend, Lenora McClelland-Fraser. Henriquez says she brushed off the hand-smacking and went looking for a seat on the bus. But the dog-owner was not done with her. “Don’t touch my dog. You can’t fu**ing touch my dog. My dog is a service dog. You can’t do that,” the woman said, according to Henriquez. Henriquez then said the woman kept muttering about how she wished Henriquez’s mom would die. This struck a nerve with Henriquez since her mom recently had a health scare. When the bus stopped, Henriquez was getting ready to step off and walk away, but she heard the woman laughing and couldn’t leave it alone. “I ended up coming back on the bus to go ahead and confront her. We ended up fighting,” Henriquez said. “I don’t know who hit who first, but I then went to grab her jacket to take a swing at her. She ended up grabbing my jacket and swung at me.” Henriquez continued, “At some point, I grabbed her hair. Then she kept hitting me and hitting me and I didn’t know she had a blade in her hand until my girlfriend told me I was bleeding.” Henriquez’s girlfriend stepped in to help and the dog-owner ended up slashing her left arm, according to police sources. During the scuffle, the bus driver stopped the bus, and the dog-owner ran out and got into a green SUV taxi to ride off. Medics took the two knife victims to Lincoln Medical Center for treatment. Henriquez received stitches to close up two long gashes across her eyebrow, and a third near her ear. “I didn’t think that petting someone’s dog would have that kind of reaction and that it would escalate to that,” she said. “I’m not okay that I made the decision to go back and confront her, I can’t take that back. But I’m that person that— yeah, I probably would have done that again, honestly.” Daaamn. The police described the slasher as Black and between the ages of 30 and 35 years old. They are still on the search for the dog owner. Continue reading →

Ariana Grande Calls for Gun Control in Wake of Las Vegas Shooting

Posted on October 2, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As documented below, celebrities from all industries have issued statements of shock and sorrow on social media in light of Sunday night’s shooting in Las Vegas . But we feel as though Ariana Grande deserves to be singled out for a moment. Tragically, the young singer is all too familiar with the sort massacre that took place in Nevada over the weekend, as over 20 concert goers were killed in Manchester this spring toward the end of a Grande performance. Clearly (and understandably) VERY shaken by that incident, the artist penned an open letter shortly after the terrorist act that reads as follows: “I am sorry for the pain and fear that you must be feeling and for the trauma that you, too, must be experiencing. “We will never be able to understand why events like this take place because it is not in our nature, which is why we shouldn’t recoil. We will not quit or operate in fear. “We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win.” Sadly, Grande has now been forced to share a similar statement, after a 64-year old named Stephen Paddock opened fire in Las Vegas on fans at a country music festival. At the latest count, Paddock killed 58 people and injured over 500 others. After committing the deadliest mass shooting in American history, he then took his own life. View Slideshow: Las Vegas Shooting: Celebrities React to Terrorist Attack On Monday, Grande responded to this Las Vegas shooting with grief and with emotion, but also with a call for action. “My heart is breaking for Las Vegas,” she tweeted. “We need love, unity, peace, gun control & for people to look at this & call this what it is = terrorism.” Amen, right? Grande’s manager Scooter Braun also penned a lengthy message to his followers, reflecting on the attack in Vegas while referencing his own memories from Manchester. “I don’t really have words this morning. I am deeply saddened. And as horrifying as it is to say I can’t tell you I’m surprised,” he wrote, adding: “Our greatest challenges are ahead of us. What took place in Las Vegas last night should never happen. What took place in Manchester should never happen. What took place in Charlottesville should never happen. “But they are happening. And ALL of them are terrorist attacks.” Concluded Braun: They all strike fear in our ability to live our lives .They all make us question taking our children, our friends our loved ones to public events that are supposed to bring us joy…in fear of devastation. They are all attacks on our way of life and our way of love. So first let me say my heart breaks for all those affected in Las Vegas. Nothing we  do can bring back your loved ones and I am so sorry. For those in the hospital recovering we are with you. Keep fighting. And for all of us..who are we? What will we choose to do in response? Will we just Instagram and move on? Will we think this is about a hashtag with the word #vegas in it? Or will we wait until the next one affects us? THIS One affects us. #LASVEGAS is ALL of us. View Slideshow: Real Housewives Stars React to Las Vegas Shootings We owe them courage. We owe them our faith. We owe them our strength and out spirit to rise up and come together and demand not only better now but better Tomorrow. When I was in Manchester I witnessed something defiant. At the end of the One Manchester show…only 2 weeks after the attack and less than 24 hours since the London attack…when the cameras were off…the crowd of 55,000 brave souls started to sing. The echoed the words ‘Manchester we’re strong, we’re strong, we’re strong. We’ll keep singing our songs, our songs our songs.’ This repeated for 15 minutes as they exited. Defiance in the face of fear. Las Vegas we’re strong. We’re strong. We’re strong. We’ll keep singing our songs…Together. This is an attack on your friends, your family, your kids, your way of life. So as we think about those lost and those hurt this morning …what do you and I owe them? Powerful stuff. We send our thoughts to all affected by this tragedy.

Kailyn Lowry to Kylie Jenner: Your Friends Will ABANDON You!

Posted on October 2, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

You might not think of someone who got pregnant as a teenager as being the ideal person to reach out to for advice about … well, anything. But Kailyn Lowry's advice might be  exactly  what  pregnant Kylie Jenner  needs to hear.  After all, who could know better about going from  young and hot  to  mom with a tot  than a  Teen Mom  star? Just don't ask  Kailyn for baby naming  advice. Since getting pregnant in high school, Kailyn's lived the non-millionaire version of what Kylie's about to go through. Because the reality of the matter is that your social life changes when you become a mom — at any age. Even a 35-year-old first-time parent is going to suddenly have to turn down invitations, because they have a small human that's adorable though very noisy and it needs constant supervision or it could  die . They'll find themselves missing out on sleep and unable to party and stay out late like they used to, even at times when someone else is taking care of their baby. It's more than just a shift in lifestyle — that can happen when you get a new job, basically. It's a total, radical reprioritization that impacts more or less every part of your life. That shift is going to be even more dramatic for someone who becomes pregnant at 16 … or 19 … and is accustomed to a great deal of freedom and minimal responsibility at an age where they are not socially expected to become mothers. And … there are fears that Kylie does not fully appreciate what it means to be a mother or how much her life is going to change.  Forever . TMZ   spoke to Kailyn Lowry  and asked if she had any words of wisdom to share with Kylie Jenner. We have to hand it to them — it might never have occurred to us to ask a  Teen Mom  star about Kylie Jenner. Kailyn seemed to be ready to share some advice, though she confesses that she doesn't know all that much about Kylie. “For me, it was a little different because I was still in high school … she's pretty young, and I can't imagine that a whole lot of her friends have kids at their age.” She's right. There's a huge difference when you're still in high school, because you're still a minor who's suddenly jumping forward a decade in terms of responsibilities. But, at the same time, Kylie's peers can't really relate to Kylie's pregnancy any more than a high schooler's can. And that's going to change things. “Your social life definitely changes because you can't always go out when your friends wanna go out, because you're either pregnant or you have a newborn.” Yep. “I think it'll be different for her because I'm sure she'll have a lot of help and she'll have nannies and stuff.” We anticipate a small army of nannies. Plus lots of time spent with aunts and, of course, Kylie's daughter's proud grandmomager. “I don't know; i think when your friends can't really relate, they kind of stop coming around.” We're sure that Kailyn had this unfortunate experience. But only time will tell whether Kylie does. Is her social clout among her friends enough that they won't stop coming around? Or can even Kylie become too boring and her life too baby-centric? Kylie will have help, though. “I mean, I know money can definitely make things easier — I know you can pay to have help.” Plus Kylie's whole family will likely be willing to pitch in when needed. (Though Kim and Khloe will have newborns of their own) Imagine the fallout of Kylie's friends all deserted her. But … here's our take on that: Any friend of Kylie's who was willing to put up with her during her years of dating Tyga is probably going to have no problem putting up with her as a mom. Childcare is no joke, but we'd take time around a newborn over someone who talks about Tyga all of the time, any day.

Rape Culture: Bill Cosby Juror Admits He Didn’t Believe Andrea Constand Because Of Her Attire

Posted on June 25, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image via Gilbert Carrasquillo/Pool/Getty Juror Admits Andrea Constand’s Attire Affected Credibility In Cosby Case Many were shocked and disappointed when the judge in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault case declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a consensus verdict after 52 hours of deliberation. Slowly but surely, anonymous jurors have begun to speak about their thought process and the things they believed about the testimony they heard. One such juror spoke to DailyMail about why he didn’t really believe Andrea Constand’s story. It’s the unfortunate logic of many men when it comes to rape and sexual assault. “She was asking for it.” The juror said: ‘She was well-coached. Let’s face it: She went up to his house with a bare midriff and incense and bath salts. What the heck?’ While this juror would not reveal how he voted, it’s pretty clear from his statements that he likely did not vote to convict Cosby. He specifically felt that she should have gone to Cosby’s home only if she was ‘dressed properly and left the incense in the store’ in reference to a gift she brought him before the alleged assault. A different juror also revealed that the pool used the typical ignorant logic of time-lapse as a reason to disregard Constand’s testimony: ‘That’s hard for me to believe, that I’ve been injured and it takes a year to report,’ the juror said. ‘Whatever the man did, he’s already paid a price and suffered.’ It’s always a bit shocking to hear people say things like this when discussing the rape or sexual assault of a stranger, because it is HIGHLY unlikely that they would use such dismissive logic toward a woman in their family or a female friend. But there you have it, ignorance as usual.
