[Sorry. This video cannot be displayed in this feed. View your video here.] Race relations in America are as bad as they’ve been in a long time. So it’s perfect timing that a new movie from George Clooney called Suburbicon is causing quite a stir. The film takes place in a small suburban neighborhood that spirals into chaos when a Black family moves in. Inspired by real events, the film used the Meyers family experience to force white people to take a look into the mirror to deal with prejudice, white silence, and white violence. I talked to Clooney about these topics and more and asked him if he interacts with a Black person every day. His answer was shocking and real.

Over the summer, we heard allegations that R. Kelly keeps teen girls captive in a “sex cult” in which he controls every aspect of their lives, from how they eat to how they serve him. While these aren’t the first stomach-churning accusations about R. Kelly that we’d heard, this really shed new light on the sort of monster that he allegedly is. It’s important to recognize that adults can be victims as well. One woman, Kitti Jones, has come forward with accusations of how R. Kelly lured her into a relationship, convinced her to quit her job, and subjected her to a two-year horror show of control and abuse. In 1994, R. Kelly was 27 years old. In 1994, he married Aaliyah, who was only 15 years old at the time. That’s horrifying enough, but when you listen to people talk about their accounts of their experiences with R. Kelly, you start to see a grotesque pattern of not only sexual predation upon minors but of alleged abuse. In the ’90s, R. Kelly settled at least three suits with women who alleged that he’d preyed upon them when they were minors, and at least one of those women alleged that he’d encouraged her to participate in group sex with him and other minor girls. Until this summer,t he most notorious thing about R. Kelly was the video tape that surfaced in 2002 and showed a young girl calling R. Kelly “daddy” before he urinated into her mouth. Though dozens of witnesses identified the girl as having been 14 at the time, jurors somehow acquitted R. Kelly of multiple counts of child pornography … because they “couldn’t” verify her age. So, you know, another great example of the justice system and how it works … well, how it operates . All of that is enough reason for you to want to hide your kids. As it turns out, where R. Kelly is concerned, you might want to hide your wife, too. Because we heard allegations this summer that indicate that R. Kelly is also a danger to adult women. (Honestly, a college classmate of mine shared several years ago that a man hit on her in a bar and she assumed that he was just fishing for free drinks — and later learned that it was R. Kelly. I can’t help thinking that she really dodged a bullet) Back in July, we heard allegations that R. Kelly keeps a number of young women, teenagers included, in a cult-like environment that revolves around them servicing him, sexually. Beyond that, he is said to keep them isolated from their families and the outside world. He allegedly controls what they eat and when they eat it and even when they go to the bathroom. According to these accusations, R. Kelly does all of this slowly, grooming them, and effectively brainwashes them into defending him when anyone expresses concern. Most seriously of all, there were allegations of verbal and physical abuse. R. Kelly denied these accusations , to no one’s surprise. He was similarly dismissive of the infamous underage pee-tape. Even back in July, a sex partner of R. Kelly’s confirmed the allegations contained within the damning expose. And then in August, another alleged sex abuse victim of R. Kelly’s came forward. Well, a Rolling Stone article titled ” Surviving R. Kelly ” details the experiences of one survivor named Kitti Jones. She says that she was a huge fan of R. Kelly growing up — like, a superfan who would get up close to the stage at his concerts. He was her “Brad Pitt,” she says. On the night that she first met him, they exchanged numbers and he told her to call him “daddy,” not “Rob.” This was back in 2011, and the happy beginning to Kitti’s nightmare. They texted back and forth and she would send him risque photos. When they saw each other again, Kitti describes R. Kelly as walking into the hotel room, sitting down, and whipping out his penis. “I was attracted to him and was just like, ‘Well, OK. Fine.’ Maybe he just has weird ways of getting off.” Well … we guess she’s not wrong . The two had oral sex that weekend, Kitti says, with R. Kelly saying things like “I gotta teach you how to be with me” and “I gotta train you.” So … yikes. “He was like a drill sergeant even when he was pleasuring me,” Kitti describes. “He was telling me how to bend my back or move my leg here.” “I’m like, ‘Why is he directing it like this?’ It was very uncomfortable.” But his celebrity status, her attraction to him, his months of having groomed her over the phone, and the way that he made her feel special added up to her not worrying about it too much. At first, she says, she believed their relationship to be monogamous, despite some … warning signs. “He said, ‘I have friends and I have girls I’ve raised.’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘raised’ at the time. He said, ‘I eventually want you to meet them, but I want to make sure you’re mentally ready for that.'” FYI, folks, everything that Kitti just described R. Kelly as having said is a huge, huge red flag. And then it gets worse. R. Kelly would insist that she not interact with men, even male drivers. Also, he convinced her to quit her job, promising ot pay her double her salary as a DJ. Even before he got her to quit, though, Kitti says that he already had her feeling emotionally tethered to him, and very defensive against any criticism. “Rob kinda makes you feel like you have to defend him. It’s like you and him against the world. If someone brought him up [in conversation], immediately a wall went up.” Once she quit her job and moved to be with him, Kitti says that she surrendered even more control to R. Kelly. He dictated how she could dress when she went out in public and required constant check-ins, even texts like “Daddy, I need to go to the restroom.” The first instance of alleged abuse took place less than a month after Kitti moved in with him, as a result of Kitti challenging him about the pee tape. His response was fury, and she describes him spending a car ride berating her while striking her in the face and kicking her while she apologized. The next day, she says, he took her shopping and neither of them addressed what had happened. She says that she considered leaving him, but that she’d have felt silly after having quit her job to be with him. Unfortunately, as any abuse survivor could tell you, the first incident was not the last. Kitti says that there were 10 instances of R. Kelly inflicting physical abuse upon her during their first year together, and that the abuse happened more frequently the following year. When R. Kelly went on his “Single Ladies” tour, however, he treated her “like a princess,” which dashed many of Kitti’s misgivings. (Remember, it’s classic abuser behavior for them to play games with their victims, rewarding them and even making them second-guess how bad things had really gotten) After the tour, R. Kelly housed Kitti alongside two of his other girlfriends, monitoring their movements with cameras and punishing them by taking away their phones — at one point, taking Kitti’s for two months. Losing your phone sucks, but in their case, this meant that they couldn’t request food. In fact, Kitti says that R. Kelly would also use starvation to punish his “girlfriends.” At one point, she went without food for two and a half days. And though they were living in neighboring rooms, the three women didn’t even know each other’s real names at first, Kitti says. They were also supposed to report on each other if one of them was breaking the rules. “If you disclose your relationship with him [to another woman] — how long you’ve known him or whatever — you can get beat. He doesn’t want in any way for one girl to feel more like, ‘Oh, we’re closer than you guys.’ Even though we knew deep down we’re all living there, we didn’t address it.” In March of 2013, Kitti says, R. Kelly once again escalated their relationship by bringing in another young woman, naked, and having her and Kitti have sex with each other. “He told me, ‘I raised her. I’ve trained this bitch. This is my pet.'” Calling someone your “pet” in roleplay is fine, but this is more severe. And Kitti says that it was the beginning of R. Kelly forcing her into group sex. “You can’t say no because you’re going to get punished. You just become numb to what’s happening. It’s so traumatic the things that he makes you do to other people and to him.” And she says that yes, he still enjoys urinating on women in sexual situations. “He videotapes everything that he does, and sometimes he’ll just make you watch what he’s done to other girls or girls that he had be together.” “He would masturbate to that and then have you give him oral sex while he’s watching what he did with somebody else on his iPad.” After six months of “hell” in which Kitti says that she was being punished every week — either being struck in the face or being starved or having her phone taken — Kitti was able to break free.

In November of that year, R. Kelly showed up, ostensibly to return her possessions that she’d had to abandon. Instead, she says, he lured her onto his tour bus and inflicted more physical abuse upon her to punish her for leaving. The two have never seen each other since. Well, that’s all horrifying.
Steven Seagal might seem like too much of a caricature to actually exist, but we regret to remind you that he is all too real. The actor, who has openly pondered a political run and shared some of his truly frightening political views, is only the latest to be accused of sexual harassment. But newly revealed audio of Steven Seagal has him ranting angrily about female journalists in what has been characterized as a misogynistic rant. You can listen below for yourself. What's the most recent news that we've heard from this guy? Probably when Steven Seagal slammed the NFL for “disrespecting the flag.” There were a couple of problems with his complaints. One, that's not what the NFL protests are about — they're not sticking up their middle finger at America, they're using the opportunity to protest the killing of unarmed black men by the very police who are supposed to protect them and enforce the law. At this point, we feel like anyone who honestly wants to understand the situation already knows that. Two, if Steven Seagal loves America so much, why does he live in Russia? Russia isn't just another country — it's a hostile foreign power that has actively worked against the United States time after time. And yet Steven Seagal seems to absolutely adore Russia's shameless despot, Vladimir Putin. We don't really need to rehash the election interference that almost no one is denying, right? Or the habit of Vladimir Putin's political enemies have of being poisoned or otherwise dying? (The same happens to journalists investigating Putin and his interests) So Steven Seagal has some pretty controversial opinions, to say the least. That is not, however, the most recent thing that we've heard about Steven Seagal. In the aftermath of the Weinstein sexual harassment scandal , more and more actresses (and actors!) have been coming forward with their #MeToo stories . In many cases, they've revealed instances of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Some women have come forward to add their names to the lists of Harvey Weinstein's accusers. Others have, for a host of reasons, declined to name the men who harassed or assaulted them. Actress Jenny McCarthy, perhaps best known for her ludicrous “medical” beliefs that have mad her name synonymous with the anti-vaxx movement, recently came forward in a podcast. She alleges that Steven Seagal told her to take off her dress during a casting call for one of his films. Just so that you know, folks, that is not appropriate. And Lisa Guerrero, who is now a journalist but was once an actress, told The Hollywood Reporter of her own Steven Seagal encounter . She alleges that in the '90s, Steven Seagal summoned her to his Beverly Hills home for an audition. That's a little weird, so she insisted upon the casting director also being present, so it should be fine, right? Well … Steven Seagal not only seemed surprised to see that casting director with her, but he answered the door in a silk kimono. Now, we're sure that kimonos are very comfy, but if you're not a college student, you should probably put on something other than a robe when people come over. Especially if it's a work thing. Instead, she describes how Steven Seagal sat on a throne-like chair in his robe and watched her audition for 10 minutes. It was fine — he didn't touch her or expose himself. But … what would have happened if she hadn't brought the casting director? While the brief audio clip, which you can listen to below, doesn't provide a whole lot of context, it's pretty damning on its own. You hear Steven Seagal's own voice as he speaks to a male interviewer. “The few times that I had a hard time was usually with women.” That's not a great way to talk about … anything. “When somebody is on tour, a promotional tour, he’s there to talk about his film, not about who he’s f—ing or who he would like to f— or who his wife was with ten years ago.” Those are the explicit versions of normal questions to ask celebrities. “They should go into pornography or something else instead of journalism if they want to hear that s–t. They're a bunch of a—-.” They should “go into pornography” … what?! Does he mean that they should be porn stars or interview porn stars? Both suggestions are absurd. He has some lovely things to say about some unnamed woman. “I won't even dare tell you what I think it is. It was just some dumb b–ch that is a liar and wanted to be sensational.” If someone is saying “some dumb b–ch” and not jokingly referring to themselves or making a totally okay inside joke with a friend … that tells you a lot about their opinions of women. Steven Seagal's decision to style his home and much of his clothing in an Asian manner is fine. He's a little eccentric, sure. But it's fine. As we all learned in 2016, an audio recording of a man with extensive Russian ties saying offensive things about women doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be negatively impacted. Of course … what exactly is Steven Seagal's career these days? So whatever fallout this audio recording might have had during his heyday probably won't amount to anything in 2017. Listen for yourself:

Erika Goldring/FilmMagic Taylor Swift’s Single Takes Huge Fall From Radio’s Top 5 Taylor Swift’s song “Look What You Made Me Do” is making a steady fall from the charts, and her fans are doing whatever they can to spin this into a positive. If you’ll recall, when the song was initially released it reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the only thing in the way of Cardi B making history with the reign of “Bodak Yellow.” Swift’s song was priced at 69 cents on iTunes in order to stay at the top, but Cardi fans rallied and got our Bronx Princess’ song to number one. “Bodak Yellow” is still number 2 on the charts–behind Post Malone’s “Rockstar,” but “Look What You Made Me Do” has dropped to number 10. That’s not the biggest drop for the song, either. Chart Data reported that on the radio charts, Swift’s single dropped from being number 5 last week to now being number 20, which is the biggest fall from the top 5 in the chart’s entire history. Taylor Swift's “Look What You Made Me Do” drops 5-20 on Radio Songs, recording the biggest fall from the top 5 in the chart's history. — chart data (@chartdata) October 23, 2017 After recording a cheaper version of Beyonce’s “Lemonade” video for the single and bringing up situations with Kanye after almost a decade, us logical folk were even more done with her isht than we have been in the past. With such stark falls from charts it rises questions of either fan engagement or possible foul play with early sales, but we won’t know how much longer we have to deal with Taylor until her album drops and possibly fades off like her singles. Possibly the funniest part of this fall is Swift’s fan accounts all trying to turn this chart data into something else, congratulating her on breaking another record. They also try to insult Beyonce and imply that the fall is her label’s fault for not advertising. Go to the next page to check out some of the Delusional Debbies on their computers all day to defend T. Swift.
Taylor Swift is the fucking devil…or revealing her actual self as a humanoid AI weird living sex doll that the nerds will jerk off to…because the nerds love robot women because they can’t take real women…they are creepy…. I think it is safe to assume she is a robot – Like Zuckerberg is a Robot…. that is why she exists… I think it’s safe to say it is too bad no one hacked her or shut her down… Because she’s garbage…the worst pile of shit ever.

Merideth Mickelson is some social media model with 1.4 million followers – repped by an agency called The Lions – who rep a lot of the VS models and girl’s not only figured out out to find fake followers on the google for cheap – she’s also managed to get the industry to give her a shot – because that body is skinny and ridiculous… In an era of fat chicks succeeding – it’s nice to see a girl proud of being skinny, not fat, looking good, whether she’s got the fake followers or not – she looks good. I also like that she decided to defend her ridiculous skinny body – by telling the world she starves herself – and by world I mean the 900,000 people from Pakistan who follow her… It’s nice to see a girl serve a purpose and have an actual cause, like telling the haters she isn’t a just photoshopped…like all the other girls, but I bet she has the face injections… Here are some videos of her.. Either way, I like her…. The post Meredith Mickelson Proves her Body is Real and that she Works Out of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
When you hear the name “Harry,” do you think of Harry Potter, Harry Styles, or Prince Harry? Or do you just think that maybe Britain should find some new names? At the moment, though, we’re talking about Harry Styles. And unfortunately, we’re not talking about the international heartthrob’s music or hair. We are once again talking about sexual assault. This time, it was Harry Styles who was groped — directly in the crotch. And the unacceptable incident was caught on video. You would think — or hope , at least — that with all of the discussions of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and his long history of accusations of sexual harassment, it would impact people’s behavior. We don’t just mean studio executives and actors deciding against one-on-one meetings in hotel rooms (not uncommon in the industry, even for innocuous reasons, but something that might need to change). We mean everyday, regular folks. Those #MeToo stories weren’t all just actresses — many of them were from office workers, artists, baristas, stay-at-home moms, etc. For whatever reason, there are people in this world who feel that they are entitled to touch someone else’s body without their consent. Sexual harassment takes many forms, from catcalling to inappropriate workplace flirtations when there’s a wildly imbalanced power dynamic. (Newsflash: the checkout girl does not think that dudes twice her age are hot; she smiles because being polite is literally part of her job) But while there are a few cases where we can see a “gray area” where someone misread some cues and truly didn’t intend to harass someone, the vast majority of the time, sexual harassment is easy to recognize. When it comes to groping, though, there are no excuses. If you don’t have someone’s consent, you do not get to touch their genitals without their consent. That’s not complicated and we all know it. And yet … this sort of thing happens. And it even happens to men. To famous men, like Harry Styles. Harry Styles has enjoyed massive, global popularity on an exceptionally rare scale. We’d say that he was the most thirsted-after member of One Direction … right up until Zayn Malik took that spotlight. (Honestly, a big part of that was the hair — Harry looked more distinctive and interesting with his long hair, which is extra important when you’re a group of twinks but you wnat people to be able to tell you apart. It’s no coincidence that Zayn grew out his own hair) We should disclose that Niall Horan was always more popular in Ireland and, as we understand it, remains more popular in ireland. Like, not ironically — there are Irish pubs with framed pictures of him on the wall. Harry Styles’ admirers have included big-name celebrities like Jennifer Lopez . Obviously, Harry Styles dated Kendall Jenner … for a very short while. More famously, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift dated and he made it into a number of her songs — most famously, into “Style.” Because … obviously. But no amount of handsomeness or thirst or whatever can justify what happened over the weekend. Harry Styles isn’t the only man whose crotch has been grabbed. Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by an executive, in the middle of a room with other people. The executive walked over and grabbed his genitals through his pants, openly groping him with no apparent fear of repercussions. It was important that Terry Crews share that story, because sometimes it takes seeing a strong man confess why he was afraid to come forward sooner for some misogynistic people to wake up to why countless women feel that same fear. (Also, this happening to Terry Crews should be the absolute end of the disgusting “why didn’t you fight back” question that women are asked — because there are so many reasons, including fear that fighting back will lead to their deaths) Harry Styles, in the video below, gets his crotch groped by a fan. He handles it well, but that doesn’t make it okay. Harry Styles played the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend. This happened on Saturday night. A number of fans are touching him, but he looks visibly upset for a brief moment as he bats away the groping hand. He abruptly stands up and continues, but we have to wonder — has this happened to him before when he gets close to fans? We know that concerts are very exciting, especially for young people who still have so many feelings, and all of those hormones stirring things up. But that’s not an excuse for grabbing someone’s genitals, like in the video that you’re about to see. We give stars a hard time for groping fans without their consent. It’s only fair that we do the same for terrible fans who take advantage of their idols. Anyway, if you have a strong stomach, here’s the video. Harry Styles is a real person with real feelings, folks. He deserves better.
