Posted on October 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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.

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. According to reports from Page Six , Gooding has been accused of engaging in a “pattern” of sexual misconduct throughout Manhattan bars and restaurants, alleging that the 2008 and 2013 incidents stems from Gooding allegedly grabbing a woman’s butt.

Teyana Taylor Says Being Slim Is Not All It’s Cracked Up To Be: “I Have Certain Insecurities”

Read the original post:

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. Never judge a book by its cover.” SEE ALSO: 10 Times Iman Tayla “Junie” Shumpert Jr. Looked Just Like Her Mama, Teyana Taylor Check out more photos of Teyana’s slim frame in action, and her embracing it — insecurities be damned — below.

Ego Vs. Emo: Here’s What Lala Anthony Had To Say About #BlackMenDontCheat [Video]

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lala Anthony Talks Cheating On The Breakfast Club It’s so hard to say goodbye to Lala — well, her character Lakeisha Grant from POWER . Even though Keisha is no longer with us , Ms. Anthony is still out here, alive, thriving, and dropping essential gems for the culture. On Tuesday, Lala stopped by The Breakfast Club and chatted it up with good friends Charlamagne Tha God , Angela Yee and DJ Envy about everything from the final season of POWER to how men and women react differently to being cheating on. “Guys are different. Guys are not as forgiving. (To Charlamagne) If your wife cheated on you that’s a whole other story. You tell her you cheated on her, you want her to forgive you, tell her to get over it.” Charlamagne Tha God even dished on his past life as a Black man who’s cheated, explaining that he hasn’t been with a woman outside of his wife in about three years — to which Lala replied: “Women are not given the same flexibility as a man. If you hear that a woman is married and that she slept around, all of a sudden, she’s a hoe, she’s a thot, etc. When a man does it’s like ‘it’s to be expected.’” The author/actress went on to dish about her steamy Power sex scenes, her hubby Carmelo Anthony’ s NBA career and much more. Do y’all agree with her thoughts on men and women cheating? Check out the full video above.

Cop Sues Ava DuVernay And Netflix Over “When They See Us”

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN When Ava DuVernay released the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series “ When They See Us ,” she likely knew that she would ruffle a few feathers. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow, so it’s not surprising that law enforcement figures who played a role in robbing the Exonerated Five of their childhoods are trying to rewrite history and misplace blame. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! However, the most recent legal complaint against the film is coming from an unlikely source. According to TMZ , the latest jab comes from former Chicago police officer John Reid. While Reid does not appear in the film, he’s arguing in a defamation lawsuit that the series misrepresents and demonizes his work. Reid is credited with a police interrogation tactic known as The Reid Technique, which some police training firms have done away with because they suspect that it has a tendency to produce false confessions. In the series, the technique is referenced as “universally rejected” when a prosecutor and detective are discussing the manner in which the detective coerced confessions out of the boys. SEE ALSO: Jharrel Jerome Takes Home Lead Actor Win At 2019 Emmys For ‘When They See Us’ [VIDEO] “You squeezed statements out of them after 42 hours of questioning and coercing, without food, bathroom breaks, withholding parental supervision,” the prosecutor said. “The Reid Technique has been universally rejected. That’s truth to you.” According to the lawsuit, the Reid technique does not teach officers to withhold parental supervision or deny interrogation subjects of their rights. He adds that his technique teaches officers to take caution when interviewing minors. In summary, he claims the Reid Technique rejects the practices depicted by officers in the film. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). He argues that Ava “fabricated a scene designed to broadcast to the audience a conversation they made up that included false statements as to the Reid Technique.” In July, Reid says that he demanded a retraction of comments made about the interrogation technique; however, Netflix refused.

Here’s What We Learned From Cyntoia Brown-Long’s First Post Prison Interview

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Wang Lunyi / EyeEm / Getty Cyntoia Brown-Long is finally living her life as a free woman after spending 15 years behind bars for the murder of 43-year old, Nashville real estate agent, Johnny Allen , who reportedly sex-trafficked the then 16-year old. Brown’s story got international media attention after stars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna took to social media to support her release. View this post on Instagram did we somehow change the definition of #JUSTICE along the way?? cause….. Something is horribly wrong when the system enables these rapists and the victim is thrown away for life! To each of you responsible for this child's sentence I hope to God you don't have children, because this could be your daughter being punished for punishing already! #FREECYNTOIABROWN #HowManyMore A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Nov 21, 2017 at 5:12am PST The system has failed. It’s heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what’s right. I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown pic.twitter.com/73y26mLp7u — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) November 21, 2017 On Tuesday, Brown did her first ever television interview since being released from prison, and was super candid about her time as a teenage inmate for killing the man who allegedly “bought her for sex.” Cyntoia talked with NBC’s Lester Holt about being granted clemency, living life as a convicted murderer & much more. She takes full responsibility for the murder of Johnny Allen: “He is a victim, you know? He was, he was, his family’s a victim. You know, his friends, the people that knew him, the people that loved him. Like, they had someone snatched away from them. And I did that.” She wants people to see a different side of her: “I want them to see that I’m so much more than the worst thing that I’ve done. You know, I’m so much more than that moment.” She’s changed: “I know there are people looking at me saying ‘okay, well what’s this girl gonna do? And is she really changed? So I feel like it’s an honor to actually be a picture of what rehabilitation looks like. Of what it looks like when we give people a second chance.”

Author Alice Walker Responds To Homophobic Actress Fired From ‘The Color Purple’ Production

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

See the article here:

Source: The Washington Post / Getty The U.K. production of The Color Purple has been steeped in controversy after old homophobic tweets from the lead actress Oluwaseyi “Semi” Omooba resurfaced. She once wrote on Facebook, “I do not believe you can be born gay, and I do not believe homosexuality is right.” When she refused to apologize for her statements, she was let go from the production of The Color Purple and her agency. She proceeded to sue her former agency, Michael Garrett Associates, for religious discrimination. The ironic point of the whole situation is the character Omooba was meant to play, Celie, is known to be a queer character. Now, the author of the book in which the play is based, Alice Walker , is speaking out about Omooba’s firing. According to Shadow and Act , Walker defended Omooba’s dismissal from the U.K. production of her classic 1982 novel of the same name. “It is safe to say, after a frightful life serving and obeying abusive men, who raped in place of ‘making love,’ my grandmother, like Celie, was not attracted to men,” Walker said. “She was, in fact, very drawn to my grandfather’s lover, a beautiful woman who was kind to her, the only grown person who ever seemed to notice how remarkable and creative she was. In giving Celie the love of this woman, in every way love can be expressed, I was clear in my intention to demonstrate that she too, like all of us, deserved to be seen, appreciated, and deeply loved by someone who saw her as whole and worthy.” When addressing Omooba’s past remarks, Walker said: “Playing the role of Celie while not believing in her right to be loved, or to express her love in any way she chooses, would be a betrayal of women’s right to be free. As an elder, I urge all of us to think carefully about what I am saying, even as you, Oluwaseyi Omooba, sue the theatre company for voiding your contract.” Welp… The legend has spoken. Time will tell if Omooba will get the message.
