Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty Johnson & Johnson Recalls Bottles Of Its Signature Product After Finding Trace Amounts of Asbestos According to CBS , Johnson & Johnson recalled 33,000 bottles of baby powder after federal regulators found trace amounts of asbestos in a single bottle purchased online. The recall reportedly only pertains to lot number “22318RB.” A spokesman added that the company is still gathering information and investigating the issue. This recall comes on the heels of several lawsuits the company is facing. Recently, the company agreed to pay nearly $117 million to settle litigation over its marketing of trans-vaginal surgical mesh devices. Last week, a Philadelphia jury awarded $8 billion in punitive damages against J&J after their drug was linked to the abnormal growth of female breast tissue in boys.

Welp: Jamie Long Calls Marriage To Total’s Pam ‘Counterfeit’, Shuts Down Claims He’s Using Cyntoia Brown For Fame

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Jamie Long Responds To Ex-Wife’s Claims He’s Manipulating Cyntoia Brown Cyntoia Brown’s husband has been catching slack for “using her” after his ex-wife, Pamela Long of the singing group Total, called him a ‘diabolical manipulator’. Now the Christian is clapping back at her claims and denying their marriage was ever REAL. In an interview with The Breakfast Club , Long said: “I think it was very selfish. I don’t know if she’s trying to reinvent her career, I don’t know what she’s trying to do. I think it was very selfish of her to do that. We’re serious about what we’re doing, we’re serious about the message. You know I’ve been divorced from Pam almost four, five years man. I didn’t even see her that much when we were married. I just feel like it was selfish of her to come out and do something like that, because you discredit what my wife is trying to do, trying to attach your name to something like this.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by J.LONG (@j.longjfam) on Sep 19, 2019 at 5:06pm PDT Jamie even addressed Pam’s claim that he was using Brown for fame . He responds, calling his ex-marriage counterfeit and his union with Cyntoia “real”. “What do I have for sale? I no longer participate in the music industry. That’s not my thing. I gave that up. I tend to my home, I tend to my wife, I tend to my business. We are very financially stable. I’ve heard something about… because my wife has a book deal… with our without a book deal my wife is gonna be straight, cause we straight.” “I was married before. And I married the wrong woman. I had the right intentions but I married the wrong woman, and I wasn’t doing that no more. Sometimes the counterfeit comes before the real thing. And we fall for the counterfeit sometimes. This time I know I got it right. This is my best friend.” Hit play at the 35-minute mark to hear Jamie address his ex’s public remarks about him.

Welp: Tamron Hall Denies Dealing Cocaine After She Confessed To ‘Facilitating’ Sale of Drug

Source: Paul R. Giunta / Getty Tamron Hall Denies Selling Cocaine After Producers Scrub Her Confession From The Show According to Daily Mail , ABC producers had to axe a portion of Tamron Hall ‘s talk show after she confessed to viewers she used to ‘facilitate’ selling cocaine when she was a teenager. Audience members were blown away during Tuesday’s taping when she reportedly admitted to ‘facilitating’ the sale of the drug with her college boyfriend. Production then had to scramble to cut it from the pre-recorded program. Hall released a statement: “I never dealt drugs” and said that a segment of her show was edited out due to “legal reasons. During an interview with Prison Rights Advocate Topeka Sam, I shared a story about a bad situation I got myself into when I was 19. I never dealt drugs,” said Hall. I am now nearly 50 years old and was reflecting on a bad judgement call that could have turned worse,” the talk show host explained. “I say but for the grace of God, there go I. “It was part of an open and honest conversation about women, incarceration and mistakes made,” she continued. “For legal reasons a portion of that segment was edited from the show. I hope my show can be a forum for sharing stories without shame or judgement — including a conversation we’re having Friday on opioid addiction.” Hall’s new ABC talk show, Tamron Hall , premiered last month, marking the first time that she returned to daytime television after leaving Today  two years ago.

Hate Or Hearsay? Ex-Employee’s Lawsuit Claims Rosario Dawson’s Mother Attacked Him With Transphobic Violence

Source: Albert L. Ortega / Getty Rosario Dawson’s Ex-Employee Sues Her Family For Transphobic Attack A transgender man who used to work for Rosario Dawson has filed a lawsuit claiming that he was abused and attacked violently by her mother a fit of transphobic rage. According to TMZ , Dedrek Finley, formerly known as Deidre, says he moved from NYC to LA in 2017 at the request of Rosario’s mother Isabel. Dedrek had been a family friend for years but had not told the Dawsons that he was trans until he arrived in California. Dedrek says that Rosario’s family, namely Isabel, her husband Gregory, and brother Gustavo, weren’t really feeling the trans lifestyle and allegedly made jokes about him and used the incorrect pronouns. He claims that he repeatedly told Rosario but she didn’t do much to put an end to the abuse. He claims Rosario also engaged in transphobic abuse because when Dedrek complained, Rosario allegedly said, “You’re a grown woman.” He claims he corrected her, but she replied, “Whatever.” Dedrek was living rent-free in a guest house on Rosario’s property and was charged with doing renovations. After the relationship with the family went left, he was told he had to move out. Dedrek alleges that Isabel knocked on his door on April 28, 2018 to talk but when he refused she threaten to kill his cat. Isabel also allegedly ripped a screen off a window, pulled him out through it, and began to beat him screaming, “You’re not so much of a man now.” He says Rosario then yelled, “Mom, stop being petty.” He says he thought she was coming to his defense, but instead he claims Rosario helped pin him so her mother could continue the beatdown. Dedrek also claims that one of the women took his cell phone possibly to delete a video that he had of Isabel threatening him and to stop him from calling the cops. At some point the police were contacted and a restraining order was placed against Isabel. His lawsuit checks assault, battery, trespass, discrimination, civil rights and labor violations as grievances for which he is seeking damages. No word from Rosario’s people about these incidents. Cory Booker’s people have got to be SHOOK.

Yeezus Wept: Kanye West’s “Sunday Service” Trademark Gets Shot Down

Source: Oishi / SplashNews / Splash News Kanye West’s “Sunday Service” Trademark Was Denied Kanye West and his new album are still MIA, even a year after its initial release date and  a month since the release date that was announced most recently. While avoiding questions about his album, though, Kanye has still been making his rounds with his gospel unit and performing his weekly “Sunday Service” worship series around the globe–He’s hit Atlanta , Wyoming, Detroit , New York, and most recently, Jamaica. Many fans are still confused about what his Sunday Service actually is, comparing it to some weird cult. Plus, the fact that Ye just purchased an entire city in Wyoming doesn’t help his case. Everything surrounding Kanye has been questionable since he sported the red MAGA hat , then wore it again in the presence of the weirdo in office, referring to him as a father figure all while his biological father is 100% alive and well. Even so, it seems like his Trump supporter antics Kanye have’t helped him very much in the legal department. While his wife Kim Kardashian is getting prisoners freed left and right, the US Trademark Office is handing Kanye a very fat “L”. TMZ Reports  that Kanye West can’t own the term for his merchandise and other purposes because someone else already owns it. Ye applied for exclusive ownership of the mark, “Sunday Service,” to slap it on clothing, dresses, footwear, headwear, jackets, loungewear, scarves, shirts, socks and tops. But, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shut him down because, basically … someone’s already working that corner!!! Kanye started selling “Sunday Service” branded merchandise in April, during his Coachella weekend two Sunday Service debut performance, but applied for the trademark later on in July. Makes you wonder if the current owner got smart and applied for that trademark right after Coachella to seize the moment. Yeezy can still fight to appeal the decision, but he probably won’t come out victorious. Whoever dropped the ball on this is probably enduring the coldest Kanye rant of all time as we speak. If anything can bring the “Old Kanye” out, we’re almost certain messing up his money is one of them. View this post on Instagram Sunday Service at Emancipation Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
