Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Gina Rodriguez Drops N-Bomb The internet has been fed up with Gina Rodriguez for a while now. First, back in 2017 she asked about Latino inclusion when the…Black Panther…movie was announced. Then in a 2018 press run she tried to interrupt Yara Shahidi when she was asked about being a role model for black women. Then some months later she claimed that Latinas were paid less than anyone else in Hollywood. Not true. Then she went on Sway In The Morning and cried over the backlash : “So to get anti-black is saying that I’m anti-family. My father is dark-skinned, he’s Afro-Latino … If anything, the black community is my community. As Latinos, we have black Latinos. That is what we are. I am not, so I think that when I speak about Latino advocacy people believe I only mean people of my skin color.” “If I have hurt you, I am sorry and I will always be sorry, but you have to know that, until you know my heart, there’s no way that we can live off clickbait, you guys,” Rodriguez continued. “You are allowed to feel pain and I empathize with your pain, and I’m sorry if I caused your pain because it is the last thing I want to do … We don’t need to fight each other and if I caused that notion, please forgive me because that is not my intent at all.” Now, it looks like she may be at the point of no return as she was on IG rapping along with Lauryn Hill and dropped a whole a$$ N-word.

Gina Rodriguez is in major trouble for her use of the N-Word. Which is not a sentence we expect to write today. However, the beloved Jane the Virgin star went online this evening and issued an apology after followers reacted in an uproar to one of her videos on Instagram Stories. The video in question featured Rodriguez rapping along to the song “Ready or Not” by The Fugees and Lauryn Hill. To be clear, she was simply quoting the lyrics when she uttered the aforementioned epithet — but this was still enough for many social media to voice their objections. And also enough for Rodriguez to deliete the footage after about three hours. “Hey, what’s up everybody? I just wanted to reach out and apologize. I am sorry,” the actress explains on her Story. She adds: “I am sorry if I offended anyone. My singing along to the Fugees, to a song I love that I grew up on, I love Lauryn Hill. And, um, I really am sorry if I offended you.” In the video — which she shared earlier on Tuesday — Rodriguez sang along was getting her hair and makeup done when she rapped the following verse: “Voodoo; I can do what you do, easy / Believe me … n–gas give me heebie-jeebies.” After saying the N-Word, the Jane the Virgin alum smiled and laughed. This controversial footage and Rodriguez’s subsequent mea culpa sparked a tweetstorm. One person argued that she “wins the award for the most half assed apology,” while a second sarcastically remarked that they “love to end latinx heritage month with gina rodriguez saying the n-word.” Ouch . To some critics, there actually is a backstory to this. They detect a slight pattern in Rodriguez’s attitude toward African-Americans. In January of 2019, the star was accused of being “anti-black,” largely due to her various comments about how Latinx women are more discriminated against than African-American wome… to which she issued a tearful apology live on a radio show. Very emotional, the 35-year-old explained that she can’t be anti-black because her father has dark skin. “So to get anti-black is saying that I’m anti-family. My father is dark-skinned, he’s Afro-Latino … If anything, the black community is my community. As Latinos, we have black Latinos,” she said. “That is what we are. I am not, so I think that when I speak about Latino advocacy people believe I only mean people of my skin color.” She concluded at the time: “We don’t need to fight each other and if I caused that notion, please forgive me because that is not my intent at all.” Just days after going viral for her comments, the former CW leading lady questioned whether she truly offended anyone — or if it was social media that perpetuated this idea. “I’ve never said anything controversial about anyone in particular — period. I am not against anyone. I create opportunities for everyone. So I think we often — like, we’re living in a culture and in a climate where this is where we’re getting our factual information,” she said back then. “But they’re not facts. They’re opinions. So I can’t live my life based off of social media opinion.” View Slideshow: 14 Celebrity N-Word Scandals

Wild times we’re living in .. mind yo business on both matters tho — Queen of Zamunda (@JoyyUnSpeakable) October 15, 2019 But things haven’t always been this joyful for Keke and her brood. Just last year, the singer went through a very public divorce at the same time she was 8 months pregnant with her 9th child, and her other baby boy was fighting cancer. In an emotional video from 2018, the “R&B Divas” star lashed out: “You want to know something, America? When you 8 months pregnant and you got a child sick, in and out of the hospital, and your husband got the nerve to tell you that he wants a divorce. Because… he says that you’re an emotional wreck. He says that from the very beginning you never trusted me and all that kind of stuff.” What a difference a year can make, because now Keke is married to Zachariah Daring and expecting a brand new healthy baby. Won’t he do it? 10 does sound like a lot of kids, but hit the flip for more celebs with a starting five of their own.
Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Three new accusers have come forward against Cuba Gooding Jr. with allegations of sexual misconduct . This brings the new total to five and comes just as he’s set to face a new charge this week related to an incident from last year. According to reports from TMZ citing “law enforcement sources,” several women have come forward with their own stories about Gooding. Last week, while already in court for an alleged incident that occurred this past summer, prosecutors revealed that the actor was being indicted for an alleged October 2018 incident that involved a second woman. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! As of now, the specific allegation against the actor involving that second accuser is unknown, but it’s expected to come up during his arraignment on Tuesday. His lawyer, Mark Heller, has already stated that Gooding will plead not guilty to that charge, going on to say that no charges were pressed immediately after the incident is said to have occurred, and that the alleged victim is only coming forward because she saw his client had been arrested earlier this year. Heller added that her attorney allegedly reached out for a settlement, but that his client “declined to be shaken down.” SEE ALSO: Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Groping Trial Is Postponed Police are said to be looking into three other alleged incidents now, which reportedly occurred in 2008, 2013, and 2015 respectively, but no charges have been filed in those cases.

Source: Brandon Todd – @branndannart / Dreamville Festival There are plenty of people who would love to have a body like Teyana Taylor’ s. The 28-year-old singer, dancer and actress is slim, but also strong and busty (and bootylicious, too) at the same time. But before you run off thinking that her body is perfection , she says that’s not true. There are things about being very lean that she struggles with just like we all have issues with our own figures. In fact, she says there have been opportunities she’s wanted that she’s needed to put weight on for and hasn’t necessarily been able to. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! “People may say I have a perfect body, but I have certain insecurities too,” she told Us Weekly recently. “You know what’s crazy? A lot of people think, ‘Yeah your body is cool,’ but, like, there’s been plenty of roles where it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, you have to gain weight’ and it’s very hard for me to gain weight, you know what I’m saying?” In fact, Teyana says she sometimes loses weight unexpectedly and at her already small size, it’s not something she’s comfortable with. “It’s not easy, or I lose weight for any little thing and I’m already small,” she said, “I can’t afford to lose any more weight, but that’s just my personal thing.” SEE ALSO: Too Cute! Teyana Taylor & Iman Shumpert’s Share Photos From Daughter’s First Week Of School The star likely finds herself smaller than expected on the scale sometimes because of her intense performances and even more strenuous practice schedule, which she told the publication can last for quite a few hours. “I love to dance, I love to rehearse, I love to practice period,” she said. “I can rehearse for 12 hours.” SEE ALSO: Teyana Taylor Doesn’t Eat Vegetables And 9 Other Stars Who Don’t Consume Some Very Surprising Foods She also loves her Fade2Fit dance workout, which she says is for people who want to get moving but don’t want to go to the gym. She can relate to such an aversion due to what people might assume she’s capable of because of her body type. “Especially me, if I walk into a gym, people think I’m gonna do backflips, lift 100-pound weights,” she said. “Like, that’s still a pre-judgement of, ‘Oh she’s got a 20-pack, so I know she’s about do some work,’. And I’m really just shy, so you never know.
