Tekashi69 Continues Snitching: Cardi B Is a Violent Gang Member!

If you’ve been keeping up with the increasingly bizarre saga of rapper Tekashi69 — real name, Daniel Hernandez — you know the face-tatted rapper will soon present a considerable challenge to the fine folks at the Witness Protection Program. It all started back in November, when Tekashi was arrested for a list of crimes that seemed likely to put him behiund bars for the rest of his natural life. Fortunately for Hernandez, he had a plan to escape that unpleasant fate — snitching. And while his hip hop career may have been a disappointment, Tekashi has since proven himself to be the Jay Z of naming names. All this week, Tekashi has been testifying in the trial of Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison, who, like him, are alleged former memers of the Nine Trey Bloods. Hernandez says he met Mack, Ellison and other members of the Nine Treys on the set of his first music video. Apparently, he had the idea of making the clip for “Gummo” a gang-themed production, and within a few months, he was living the life himself as a full-fledged member of the gang. Or at least that’s what the Nine Treys told him. Over the course of his time with the gang, Hernandez shelled out more than $85,000 in protection money — but what he really needed protection from was his own security detail. Eventually, the Nine Treys kidnapped Tekashi, pistol-whipped him, and robbed him of jewelery worth more than $50,000. We guess it’s not surprising that he’s eager to squeal now that he’s facing life in prison as a result of his involvement with the gang. Tekashi has mentioned several other rappers during his time on the stand — identifying Jim Jones as a fellow Nine Trey and admitting to putting out a hit on rival Chief Keef. But no of his industry insider talk has garnered more attention than the claims he made yesterday abotu Cardi B. Tekashi claims that Cardi is also a Nine Trey, who — like him — used the gang as protection and enforcement early in her career.   “I knew who she was,” he said when prosecutors asked about Cardi’s alleged gang activity. “I didn’t pay attention.” Cardi has admitted in the past to involvement with the Bloods: “I used to pop off with my homies. And they’d say, ‘Yo, you really get it poppin’. You should come home. You should turn Blood,’” she told GQ last year. “And I did. Yes, I did. And something that — it’s not like, oh, you leave. You don’t leave.” But apparently, she draws the line at being lumped in with the ultra-violent Nine Treys. “You just said it yourself… Brin not 9 Trey,” Cardi tweeted on Thursday after catching wind of Tekashi’s allegations. “I never been 9 Trey or associated with them.” So his testimony against Cardi might not help Hernandez secure a lighter sentence — but he’s succeeded in making one more enemy on the outside.

Wendy Williams Attacks Christie Brinkley: You FAKED Your Broken Wrist!

As we mentioned during our Dancing With The Stars recap this week, Christie Brinkley had to bow out and was replaced by her daughter, Sailor. The reason was an injury — but Wendy Williams used her platform to announce to the world that Christie must have faked it. Now, Christie is firing back, exposing Wendy's secrets, and inviting the talk show host to be kinder. Unfortunately, despite a longstanding professional friendship with Christie, Wendy Williams spun a three-minute conspiracy theory on her show. After Christie tragically fell and broke her wrist, she had to bow out of  Dancing With The Stars , and was replaced by her daughter, Sailor. Wendy's theory, which she spun before her audience of millions, is that this was by Christie's design. According to Wendy, Christie must have planned to fake her injury from the start in order to give her gorgeous model daughter a career boost. Christie would be the “foot in the door,” and then millions of eyes would be watching Sailor every week. The cunning plan that Wendy describes sounds like a brilliant way to elevate a celebrity daughter from moderate fame to a household name. But there's a huge difference from thinking of a good plan and pushing it as a theory to a massive audience. And, again, Wendy and Christie had a lengthy history of professional friendship. Notably, Wendy had also appeared on  Dancing With The Stars  herself a number of years ago, when her show was brand new. It didn't help that Wendy took an unnecessary swipe, saying that despite Christie's looks, it's all “65 on the inside.” Thta's just rude. Christie Brinkley heard what Wendy had to say and was shocked — and hurt — to her core, as she revealed on  The Talk . “Wendy Williams started this rumor, which was stunning to me because I've been on Wendy's show a couple of times,” Christie states. “For some reason she liked me,” she reveals. “And she would call on me to support her in tough times.” “So,” Christie recalls. “I got a call one day that she was having a terrible bout of stage fright, and she was about to drop out of  Chicago The Musical ,” “And,” she adds. “Would I come over and talk to her.” Christie says: “I was like, 'You will never meet a more supportive and loving cast. You will love this experience and you will regret it if you don't do it.'” “I was there for her,” she emphasizes. “Then she goes through a divorce, and I get a call again,”  “I get a call again, because let's face it, I'm kind of an expert in that,” Christie acknowledges. Christie is a stunningly gorgeous woman who has famously gotten divorced four times. “I came again and was like, 'I'm going to help you.'”she shares. Christie suggests that Wendy might not have said these things if she had known how serious her injury really was. “I didn't just break the [bones]…” Christie announces. She explains that “because of the angle I hit, they shattered,”  “My surgery, that was supposed to take an hour and a half, ended up taking three hours,” Christie laments. “And,” she reveals. “They ended up putting in a plate.” “My message to Wendy is, it's so much more fun to be kind,” Christie suggests. “Try it,” she adds. “t can't feel good to try to hurt other people.” “If it feels good, something's seriously wrong,” Christie concludes. Honestly? Remind us to never piss off Christie Brinkley. She may be a knockout, but she will verbally knock you tf out — with a smile on her face.

Amber Portwood: NOT Fired From Teen Mom OG Following Abuse Allegations!

Back in July, Amber Portwood was arrested after allegedly assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon. The details of the incident were brutal — according to the police report, Amber attacked Andrew with a machete and struck him while he held the couple's 1-year-old son — and things only got worse from there. At this point, several audio recordings have emerged in which Amber threatens to kill Andrew and can be heard assaulting him in the presence of their baby. Fans assumed such horrific abuse would result in Amber being fired from Teen Mom OG — but according to a new report from The Ashley's Reality Roundup , Portwood still has her job at MTV. Here's what we know about the situation thus far: 1. Unscathed Amber Portwood has been accused of truly horrific acts of abuse, and there’s a mountain of evidence pointing to her guilt. Despite this, it seems she has not been fired from Teen Mom OG. 2. Getting Away With It In a shocking new report from The Ashley’s Reality roundup, a production insider confirms that Portwood still has a job, and will continue to appear on new episodes of Teen Mom OG. 3. A Baffling Decision “Amber has 100 percent filmed for the new season,” says the source. “She is not being fired by MTV.” 4. Letting It Ride It seems insane that MTV and parent company Viacom would risk so much by continuing to employ someone who is quite clearly guilty of domestic abuse. 5. Ratings Rule But it seems the powers that be believe Portwood’s story will continue to attract viewers. And with ratings at an all-time low, TMOG needs all the help it can get. 6. Courtoom Drama “[The producers] plan to film with Amber through her court trial [for the domestic battery charges],” says the insider. View Slideshow

Maddie Brown Shares New Baby Photo, Inspiring Words of Parental Wisdom

Simly put, you guys? Maddie Brown for all the wins. Seriously… every last one of them. The daughter Kody and Janelle Brown welcomed her second child into the world back on August 20. The blessed news was kept quiet for a short period of time, prior to the proud grandmother posting a picture of Maddie’s kids and writing as a caption: Axel loves his new little sister Evie (Short for Evangalynn)! Please tell me that other grandmothers can stare at their grandkids photos forever. #grandkids. Since then, Maddie has been kind enough to post a number of adorable pictures of little Evie, including this one immediately below, which features husband Caleb as well: We love it. We also love both the latest snapshot Maddie has published to her Instagram account, along with the amazing caption she included along with it. In the photo, as you’re about to see, little Evangalynn is wearing a floral top and donning a yellow bow. The photo went out to Maddie’s 220,000 followers, as did this simple and motivational sentence: I hope I raise her to think she breathes fire! Simply perfect, right? Both the little girl and also Maddie’s message here, that she wants Evie to grow up to be strong and confident and ready to take on the world. With Sister Wives set to premiere amidt a flurry of troubling rumors regarding Kody and his better halves, it’s refreshing to have some positive news once in relation to this family. It’s a welcome change, in our opinion. To keep the smiles flowing, here’s another look at Axel and Evie: “Someone once told me parenthood consists of a lot of long days and short years. Something that hits home so hard,” Brown wrote on Instagram back on September 12. She then shared several more thoughts about this unique time in her life. “Miss Evie is 3 weeks and and Axel is almost 2.5 and I feel like its all become one tiny little blur and time has robbed me,” she explained, continuing as follows: “How did my first baby get so big? Why is my second already almost a month old!?” We’re sure almost every parent out there has asked the same question at some point in his or her journey. Concluded Maddie in this message: Time is a theif and on days I get irrationally mad at what its robbing me of. I wish I could freeze it and soak up these babies just a little longer! No real reason I’m sharing this, other than to just share and say, enjoy your days and love on your family members. Amen, Maddie. Just… amen.

HAUGHT OR NAUGHT: H&M Under Fire For Neglecting A Young Black Models’ Hair, The Popular Retailer Defends Hairstyle

More:

Another day – another scandal. We’ve made it through fashion week with only a few hiccups, but now H&M is once again under fire. The brand was in the news in 2018 for having a little Black boy wear a shirt that said, “The coolest monkey in the jungle.” Now they are facing scrutiny for how a young Black woman’s hair was featured on their site. It was celebrity hairstylist, Vernon Francois , who shamed the brand via Instagram. View this post on Instagram It’s essential that we have a conversation about this photograph from the @hm_kids campaign.  Before I begin, I do not have the facts, nor have I seen any statement by #H&M or the team who worked on this. This post is just an assessment based on all my years of seeing situations like this happen time and time again.  And its got to stop. This beautiful young girl’s #kinky hair appears to have had very little to no attention yet all of her counterparts have clearly sat in front of someone who was more then capable of styling other hair textures. My heart breaks imagining yet another girl from my community sitting in front of a mirror being ignored by the team around her, left to her own devices because someone didn’t know how to handle her texture. As if that’s not bad enough…. Prior to this campaign appearing this photograph will have been seen and APPROVED by countless ‘professionals'. Lets say conservatively 50 people. It’s breathtaking to me that not one person looked at this shot and had the same reaction that the internet seems to be feeling since the campaign broke.  THAT IS AN ISSUE.  We must do better.  Our girls, our young women deserve better.  Let this be a moment of learning. #Education is key #wehavetodobetter #vernonfrancois #Ignorance #blackgirlmagic #allhairisgoodhair A post shared by Vernon François (@vernonfrancois) on Sep 19, 2019 at 9:33pm PDT The young model has Type 4 hair, which often isn’t even represented in ads and campaigns. The other issue is that often at fashion shows or shoots, Black models are forced to do their hair themselves because hairstylists who can do their hair are not hired on set. Yes, despite all the diversity initiatives, we are still having this issue in 2019. Francois stated via his Instagram, “This beautiful young girl’s #kinky hair appears to have had very little to no attention yet all of her counterparts have clearly sat in front of someone who was more then capable of styling other hair textures. My heart breaks imagining yet another girl from my community sitting in front of a mirror being ignored by the team around her, left to her own devices because someone didn’t know how to handle her texture.” ‘Nuff said. Of course when social media got their hands on this, H&M released a statement to Essence, “We are aware of the comments regarding one of our models for H&M Kids. We truly believe that all kids should be allowed to be kids. The school aged kids who model for us come to the photo studio in the afternoon after school and we aim for a natural look which reflects that.” Well. It is true that a young Black girl with Type 4 hair could leave her house with her hair looking together and after school and rough play on the playground, look like this. This is natural, Type 4 hair, without a brush and edge control. If people were shocked, is it normally because we are used to seeing it “tamed”? Personally, I understand what H&M is trying to do; however, I believe that an image lasts a lifetime. If all the other kids are represented looking polish, I’d appreciate if someone put a paddle brush to this child’s hair and helped to smooth her afro puff. Beauties, we want you to weigh in: is H&M right or wrong for leaving this young girls hair in its natural state? Take our poll and sound off in the comment section.
