London Entertainment/Splash News Ron Jeremy Can’t Attend AVN Awards Over Sex Misconduct Allegations Even the adult film industry has adopted a zero-tolerance policy toward accused creeps. Ron Jeremy is persona non grata at this weekend’s AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and Awards and the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo convention, the company confirmed to the Daily News. More than a dozen women have accused Jeremy of sexual assault over a 30 year period according to a December Rolling Stone article. One actress says Jeremy raped her twice in December 1997, another two women claimed he assaulted them at conventions, and yet another accused him of grabbing her and trying to give her a leg massage at a clothing-optional resort in Jamaica in 2011. Jeremy threatened legal action over the rape allegations in a statement to Rolling Stone: “As for the charges of Groping, I say yes, I AM A GROPER. And by groper, I mean I get paid to show up to these shows, events, and photo shoots and touch the people and they touch me. I’m not the young stud I was, but I still draw a crowd. And we are talking about things that are within reason, in front of police officer’s and security that are always there as well as the tons of cameras And the general public,” he said. “But seriously, if you were going to be around Ron Jeremy, wouldn’t you assume that I’d be a little bit touchy feely? Yes. This is what I do for a living. I am not Kevin Spacey, Louis CK, Weinstein or Cosby.” SMH @ his statement! So he’s an admitted creep. Good for AVN for taking a hard stance. No pun intended.

Questlove Sued By “Tonight Show” Staffers Fired Over Racist Texts A group text featuring some half-eaten fried chicken and a pretty predictable racial slur cost two “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” got two white cameramen fired from their jobs last summer…and they say it’s specifically because they’re white, and it’s all Questlove’s fault . Page Six reports that cameramen Kurt Decker and Michael Cimino each received the offensive text from an unidentified stagehand on June 19, 2017. The thing is…Roots bassist Mark Kelly was a part of the same group chat and wasn’t quite feeling the joke. In their lawsuit, the cameramen claim they both declined to respond to the message, which was received in the middle of the taping, and told their superiors they had nothing to do with it once filming was done. However, they were each placed on suspension the next day. They claim they were later fired after Questlove personally made a case to have them cut over their association with the racist text…however Mark Kelly faced no penalties for receiving it. How they figure a Black man would manage to get fired after receiving an unsolicited racist text against African Americans, we aren’t quite sure. However, the men feel that they were fired due to their whiteness. However, NBC says they have strict guidelines in place to keep discrimination out of the workplace …and the fact that they didn’t immediately report the text or its sender were violations of the code. SMH. How is this Questlove’s fault exactly?? Getty/WENN
Logan Paul has returned to YouTube with his first video since being publicly reprimanded for basically being an insensitive A-Hole earlier this year. In late December, the viral sensation shared lengthy footage of his trip to Japan, specifically honing in on the dead body of a man found hanging from a tree in the woods. Paul and his friends cracked wise about their finding and made fun of the dead . He proceeded to apologize on multiple occasions for the footage, but never sounded especially sincere in doing so. Will this latest effort help Paul make amends? Titled “Suicide: Be Here Tomorrow,” the new seven-minute clip depicts the 22-year old Internet personality talking with suicide survivor Kevin Hines, Alo House Recovery Centers founder Bob Forrest and National Suicide Prevention Hotline director Dr. John Draper. He says his goal is to educate himself on the topic and to better understand why about 800,000 people take their own lives each year. “I know I’ve made mistakes. I know I’ve let people down. But what happens when you’re given an opportunity to help make a difference in the world?” Paul says in the video, adding: “It’s time to learn from the past as I get better and grow as a human being. “I’m here to have a hard conversation as those who are suffering can have easier ones.” Will critics buy this? Or will they just view it as a cynical attempt to win back fans? Paul has 16 million YouTube followers. He makes millions per year off his videos. In the following footage, he runs down five steps to assist someone who is considering suicide. They are: Ask. Listen. Support. Help them connect. Check in on them. He also pledges to donate $1 million to “various suicide prevention organizations, with the first $250,000 going straight to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. It's a start, right? Paul says he never meant to create a stir with his controversial video, but that he doesn't know anyone personally who has committed suicide. “That was part of the problem was just my ignorance on the subject,” he explains below. “While I’m not able to solve the problem by myself, I want to be part of the solution. Back on December 31, Paul uploaded footage that feature the corpse of a man who appeared to have hanged himself from a tree in Aokigahara, which is commonly referred to as Japan’s “suicide forest.” About 10 days later, YouTube removed him from its Google Premium advertising service. So… is this video a sincere mea culpa on Paul's part? Or just a way for him to get into YouTube's good graces and maximize his earnings once again? Watch and decide for yourself:

Bennett Raglin/Getty Images for BET/Prince Williams/ATLPics Round of applause… Waka Flocka Offers Advice To Offset And Cardi B Waka Flocka knows a thing or two about stepping outside of his relationship and he’s offering advice to someone who’s being accused of doing the same. If you can remember back to 2016 Waka and his wife Tammy Rivera were in headlines for his infidelity and split briefly before Tammy publicly took him back. Now the Flockas are enjoying some marital bliss and recently celebrated four years of matrimony-dom. With that in mind, Waka sat down with XXL and dished on his coupledom with his wife who he says “turns him into a toddler” when she hugs him. “Having that significant other at the moments when you really need somebody to just to talk to,” the 31-year-old shares. “It’s them hugs. I don’t know, man. It’s like, when that lil’ lady hug me, man, I just turn into a toddler. And just to have somebody next to you that can do that, that s*** feel amazing.” Judy Eddy/WENN.com Things got especially interesting however when he was asked to give advice to Offset, whose also been accused of cheating, and Queen Cardi B. According to Waka, they shouldn’t let anyone get in their heads when it comes to their relationship and learn to communicate. “My advice for them is keep your house strong,”says Waka. “Don’t let nobody get inside your household and change your opinions and the way you feel about your spouse or your significant other. I think y’all should always have an understanding and have a ground; y’all should always talk about things, like, ‘Baby, if this happened,’ or ‘What if this happened?’ I think it should always be y’all two agreeing on whatever happens next, before anybody else put words in y’all mouth or ideas in your mind.” Wise words from a reformed man—do you think BardiSet’s listening???
