But the hill is still steep cause overcoming a 3-1 deficit is hard work, but Golden State already knows this.

I f you thought there might be a chance of Jussie Smollett returning to Lee Daniels’ “ Empire, ” those days are are over. The director spoke out about accusations that Smollett staged a hoax and he held nothing back. See Also: Complete Timeline Of Jussie Smollett Investigation In an interview with Vulture, Daniels was asked if he was embarrassed that he public supported Jussie Smollett, “I’m beyond embarrassed. I think that when it happened, I had a flash of me running from bullies. I had a flash of my whole life, of my childhood, my youth, getting beaten.” He said that he would have never suspected Smollett to allegedly stage a hate crime and when asked if he believes there is doubt, Daniels explained, “Of course, there’s some doubt. I’m telling you that because I love him so much. That’s the torture that I’m in right now, because it’s literally if it were to happen to your son and your child, how would you feel? You would feel, Please, God, please let there be that glimmer of hope that there is some truth in this story. That’s why it’s been so painful. It was a flood of pain.” He also said, “We weren’t there. I can’t judge him. That’s only for the fucking lady or man with that black robe and God. I had to detach myself and stop calling him, because it was taking away the time I have for my kids, the time I have for my partner. It was affecting my spirit and other shows, everything.” Smollett’s career has taken a serious below. He is no longer being considered to play the lead role in the Broadway revival of “ Take Me Out ,” which is about a mixed-race baseball player. The role went to Jesse Williams . Considering what Daniels said, it appears Jussie may never return to “Empire.” He also wrote in a June 4 tweet , “Jussie will NOT be returning to Empire.” On Jan. 29, while walking to a subway, Smollett claimed two men yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, investigators told The Hollywood Reporter . They allegedly punched and poured bleach on him while one of the suspects put a rope around his neck. As they fled the scene, Smollett told police they said, “This is MAGA country.” Smollett has maintained his innocence and all 16 felony counts against him were dropped.

The “Throw It In The Bag” rapper has been working to satisfy the terms of his year-long pre-trial intervention program after he pleaded guilty to one count of harassment and copped to threatening Emily and her father with a pair of scissors outside of their northern New Jersey home. Things are going so well, that the judge on the case has not asked Fab, 41, to come back to court to review his progress, and he doesn’t have a court date pending, a court official confirmed to BOSSIP. If he successfully completes the diversion program, his charges will be thrown out and his criminal record wiped clean. Fab initially faced up to 20 years in state prison after prosecutors accused him of punching Emily B so hard that her front teeth had to be removed. Days later, a video emerged of the father of two brandishing a sharp object at his partner and her father and threatening to kill them. We’ve reached out to Fab’s lawyer, Brian Neary, for comment.

According to Page Six , the 57-year-old’s mystery man has been identified as Marc Tomblin, who was convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon in 2013 in North Carolina. In addition, Tomblin, who works in “finance,” has a conviction of felony breaking and entering in May 2013 AND two robbery charges from August 2012. When TMZ caught wind of Tomblin’s past, they asked Wendy about it. Her response? She ain’t going nowhere. “I am a 54-year-old grown-ass woman,” she said. “I know what I’m doing.” Adding, “Look, my husband had a full baby with a woman he was involved with for 15 years … where I was cooped up only to be a show pony. Now, I’m living my life.” Welp!!! See the tea for yourself: As we previously reported , last weekend during a recent trip to Los Angeles, the iconic talk show host posted up a pic of the two, holding hands by the water. “Last night was the most beautiful sunset in Sherman Oaks with special people.
