STFU, Soup Cookie: WASP-y Racist Writes Angry Letter To Penn State Football Player With “Disgusting Dreadlocks”

Source: manoa / Getty Penn State Player Sent Racist Letter About His Locs A racist douchebag named David Petersen who graduated from Penn State in 1966 is currently being fire-roasted over 280-characters or less for an incredibly racist letter that he wrote to footballer Jonathan Sutherland that was tweeted out by his teammate Antonio Shelton. One of my teammates got this. Explain to me how this isn’t racist. pic.twitter.com/Qms1F6DEEP — Antonio Shelton (@_groovy55) October 7, 2019 A reporter at the Tribune-Democrat contacted Petersen who offered the weakest explanation of his cracker-y correspondence. Reached by phone on Tuesday, Petersen said making a racial or cultural statement “was not the intent at all. I would just like to see the coaches get the guys cleaned up and not looking like Florida State and Miami guys.” Penn State’s Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics, Sandy Barbour, released her own statement in support of Jonathan. I stand with our Penn State student athletes and appreciate how they represent PSU in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Their dress, tattoos, or hairstyle has no impact on my support, nor does their gender, skin color, sexuality or religion! #WeAre #ONETEAM — Sandy Barbour (@SandyB_PSUAD) October 8, 2019 To give further context about who the f**k David Petersen is, the Tribute-Democrat details the many alt-right-ish op-eds that he’s written in the past about topics like welfare, “violent offenders, and Islam. He asked: “Does the Tribune have no awareness of or regard for the families of those who died on 9/11? … The Tribune’s disclaimer as a paean to ‘diversity’ is invalid. This was an appalling display of poor judgment, an insult to all Americans, and dishonors all who have died and continue to die fighting the war on terrorism.” Safe to say that this a$$-clown is probably a MAGA, “blue lives matter”, Republican deplorable. After all the “disgusting” scandals that Penn State has had involving rape, sex abuse, and kidnapping this mayo-splattered bigot has the nerve to chastise Black hair. We hope he’s banned from Penn State for life.

Bye Scruffy! Cyn Santana Says She’s Her HAPPIEST In Life After Kicking Scrub Budden To The Curb

Source: Xavier Collin / Paras Griffin / Splash News Cyn Santana Says She’s Happier After Joe Budden Split Cyn Santana has confirmed her split with her scruffy ex-fiancee Joe Budden . The reality actress and rapper-podcaster have been making headlines for months over their separation and now Cyn is hinting that there’s no chance she’s going back to that distressing relationship. Cyn Santana also confirms in an interview with Tiffany Pollard that it was she who pulled the plug on their relationship. “ We didn’t decide on anything. I did what was best for my mental health, for my peace, and for me and my son. Basically, let’s just sat that I’m probably the happiest that I’ve ever been. And that was probably the best decision I’ve made in my entire life in the 26-years I’ve been living on this earth . The best decision I made was leaving that relationship. And my son and I are amazing.” It sounds like Joe Budden was being a THORN in her side and she couldn’t take it. Previously, Budden showed a lack of empathy on “Love and Hip Hop” as Cyn Santana experienced postpartum depression . Cyn removed herself from the turmoil and now she’s easing into dating. On what she wants in a man now that she’s single: “I like being wined and dined,” she said when talking about what she wants in a man with Tiffany “New York” Pollard on her  Brunch with Tiffany  show. “I love talking. I love getting into people. I’m a foodie, you’ve got to feed me. That’s happening.” Hit play to hear it. Good for her! Hit the flip for more of how Cyn has been living since getting rid of that bad energy.

Inmate Who Was Assisted By Kim Kardashian Released After 23 Years

Source: The Washington Post / Getty An inmate who served 23 years at a Washington, D.C. jail has now been released. Momolu Stewart received help towards gaining his freedom by way of Kim Kardashian ‘s efforts and he is no doubt grateful for the assistance. In a profile on Stewart from Oxygen , Stewart, now 39, entered prison after the New Year’s Day shooting of Mark Rosebure. Stewart’s co-defendant, Kareem McCraney, was released in 2018 with both men benefiting from the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act. While behind bars at the DC Central Detention Facility, commonly known as the D.C. Jail, Stewart became a part of the Georgetown Prison Scholars under Dr. Mark Howard, who praised Stewart’s transformation from a street tough to a man who wants to contribute to society. Stewart seemed extremely humbled by Kardashian’s assistance as evidenced by his chat with Oxygen. “She has the ability to believe in others when the conventional aspect of things would be to shun ‘em,” Stewart said. Kardashian penned a letter on Stewart’s behalf that explained his violent and troubled childhood, which included his mother killing his father when he was six-years-old thus becoming part of the street life in Washington. Stewart will be featured in the upcoming documentary Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project which will air on the Oxygen network. — Photo: Getty

You Are Hiding A Dad: Drake And His Father’s Public Feud Has Brought Out THEE Pettiest Reactions

Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Drake And His Father Feud Over Upbringing If you’ve listened to any of Drake’s albums then you know he has a lot of love for his mother. He also mentions, ad nauseam, that his daddy wasn’t always around. That makes sense, right? After all, Daddy Dennis was in Memphis while Drake and his mother were in Toronto. So naturally we all assumed this was a true reflection of the former Degrassi star’s life. Dennis Graham took to Nick Cannon’s show to talk about his relationship with Drake and he had this to say: “I have always been with Drake. I said, ‘Drake why are you saying all of this different stuff about me, man? This is not cool.’ And he goes ‘Dad, it sells records.’” Well, then. Drake took to IG to say that his dad calling him cap was actually cap. Get it? Dennis wants to be famous instead of just enjoying the blessed position he is in. pic.twitter.com/OIwwhjkOBx — Nigel D. (@NigelDPresents) October 8, 2019 Who do you believe? Twitter has a LOT to say about this. Peep… If Drake's dad didn't want people to believe his son's lyrics, he wouldn't dress like Carmen Sandiego. pic.twitter.com/iDRkxN7HRq — Mike Beauvais (@MikeBeauvais) October 8, 2019

This Is Us Recap: Did Kevin Just Meet His Soulmate?

Secrets, secrets, they are no fun. They are no fun for anyone… until they come out and stir up lots of drama, that is, which is exactly what went down on This Is Us Season  4 Episode 3, “Unhinged.” On the latest installment of this NBC drama, Kate (Chrissy Metz) broke down after learning that husband Toby (Chris Sullivan) had been keeping his weight loss from her. This is how the reveal transpired: Toby settled into his IT sales job by inviting Kate to meet some of his clients at a restaurant. He then attempted to subtly get the hostess to switch their table, yet when she wouldn’t do so, Kate confessed that she could not fit into the booth. It was very awkward. Why didn’t Toby say the say thing, however? Hmmm… Watch This Is Us Season 4 Episode 3 Online Kate later ordered Toby to take off his shirt, but not in a seductive way — she wanted to see his abs for herself. He admitted that he had been going to the gym to get healthy following his heart attack, which made Kate quite emotional. He didn’t want to make her feel bad, although she acknowledged she had gained 10 pounds since giving birth. From there, her neighbor (Timothy Omundson), who was trying to rehabilitate from a stroke, caught her crying on her porch… and after he shared his story with her, she and little Jack joined him for his morning walks around the neighborhood. It’s a start, right? Elsewhere, viewers saw why Nicky (Griffin Dunne) vandalized the VA center. You see, he was making progress with a therapist when she was transferred and this caused him to relapse. Kevin (Justin Hartley) arrived in town to help Nicky avoid prison time and a gigantic fine, as the VA agreed to let Nicky continue his treatment, despite his aversion to assistance. Again: It’s a start, right? And speaking of starts… While at the facility, Kevin met Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison) and her son. Cassidy was immediately turned off by him, but she later warmed up when they wound up in the same Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. Kevin lamented his life having no purpose at all and trying to stay sober by focusing on his nephew. Cassidy laughed at his struggles, which included his fear of becoming an AARP spokesperson, prompting Kevin to eventually did the same. Sparks most definitely flew here and it’s very safe to say we’re intrigued. Also; Deja (Lyric Ross) received a surprise of her own when Malik (Asante Blackk) told her he has a daughter. She had no idea what to think about the situation and would only say that the revelation complicated her feelings for him. In other young person Pearson news, Tess (Eris Baker) battled coming out at school. Then there was our man Randall (Sterling K. Brown), who faced a few problems of his own. One of his aides pressured him to fire Jae-Won (Tim Jo) because the two were friends and he lacked experience. However, Randall let go of the aide instead for disrespecting him and then helped his chief of staff plan his proposal to his girlfriend. This Is Us Season 4 Episode 4 Promo Finally, via flashbacks, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) was himself was fired after making a huge mistake at work. But Miguel (Jon Huertas) stood up for him, telling their boss that he would quit if Jack had to go. The bold move saved both their jobs. Kevin also helped out Randall after he got in trouble at school and suffered from an anxiety attack.
