Source: The Washington Post / Getty The fallout and continuing revelations that have come forth in the wake of the recent airing of Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly docu-series continue to mount. Dame Dash once again shared details of when he and Jay-Z’s became strained as a result of the rapper joining forces with Kelly on a joint album with Dash seemingly admitting that he looked the other way. Page Six reports : In a clip from an upcoming episode of Nick Cannon’s “Cannon’s Class,” the Roc-a-Fella Records co-founder admitted he regretted not saying anything when Jay-Z collaborated with Kelly, who wed Dame’s late girlfriend Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old. “I’m human, bro. But I had to look the other way, all these years,” Dash said. “So publicly that man did a record with the n—a that raped my girl, that he liked as well. Right? You understand what I’m saying? But no one said nothing.” Earlier in the clip, he also recalled Aaliyah’s reluctance to talk about her time with Kelly. The singer, who tragically died in a plane crash in 2001 when she was just 22, secretly wed Kelly in 1994, when she was just 15 after the two had collaborated on her debut album “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number.” Her parents annulled the marriage the next year. A portion of Dame Dash’s interview with Nick Cannon can be viewed below. Let’s be honest… We ALL are Guilty of “Looking the Other Way”. #CannonsClass with @DuskoPoppington pic.twitter.com/6SZSgPNz9U — Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) January 8, 2019 — Photo: Getty
Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty This April, fans of Issa Rae of HBO’s Insecure fame will be hitting the big screen in the upcoming film Little co-starring Regina Hall and Marsai Martin. The film looks like it will pack a big lesson in there about treating others with decency along with sure-fire laughs from the trio. Little follows Hall, who plays a mean-spirited and micromanaging CEO of a tech company with Rae standing in as her assistant. The trailer features a young child transforming Hall into a teen version of herself played by Martin (of Black-ish fame) with Rae trying to help the little version of her boss navigate her life despite her terrible attitude. Rae’s character runs the company in her Hall’s place while Hall’s character returns to public school with all the attitude intact. If this sounds like a Black version of Tom Hanks’ Big , then you guessed right. The film is directed by Tina Gordon and produced by Will Packer Productions. Along with Gordon, Girls Trip co-writer Tracy Oliver co-wrote the script for Little . The film hits theaters on April 12. Check out the trailer below. — Photo: Getty
Source: Alex Martinez/Bravo / BravoTV.com Porsha Williams Speaks On Kandi Burruss Beef Porsha Williams isn’t finished shading Kandi Burruss. After Sunday’s explosive episode where they faced over an incident at Todd Tucker’s birthday party, Porsha once again shaded Kandi for having her employees “do her dirty work.” In case you missed it, Porsha apparently had a run-in with her boo Dennis McKinley’s ex who came over with one of Kandi’s employees at the party and kissed Dennis on the cheek. Mind you, this is the same woman that Kandi brought up to Porsha because Dennis has the woman’s name tattooed on his body. This same woman is also reportedly friends with Porsha’s former assistant Jami Zeigler who claims Porsha beat her up in an alley. Kandi told Porsha that she needs to learn to “control herself” and “stop playing victim.” “You’re always are the aggressor and then become the victim,” Burruss said. “You don’t know how to control yourself. That’s the problem.” “I’m nobody’s victim, b—-,” replied Porsha. Now Porsha’s expounding further and claiming that the entire party was a setup karefully kalculated by Kandi. According to Porsha, it’s way too convenient that Dennis’ ex was there and that the woman was brought over to Dennis by one of Kandi’s employees. Not only that, she thinks Kandi leaked the story to the blogs. “They put out a story that I literally beat up a girl at the party and then security dragged me out of there — I wasn’t even drinking that night. I’m pregnant, I’m with child,” said Porsha. “Somebody decided to bring this ex that Kandi’s been talking about straight over to Dennis to kiss him on his cheek in front of me. I told Kandi as soon as it happened that her team has kicked me out of her party. To not even check and come out or call later or anything? And then put all this horrible stuff on the blogs? It sounds like a setup, it smells like a setup — it is a setup!” Porsha also added that she thinks Kandi’s done this in the past. “Her workers really kind of follow her lead,” said Porsha on the after show. “And I think that her lead over the years has been a little passive aggressive when it comes to me. She just has to handle her crew better. Or maybe she doesn’t want to. Maybe they’re doing exactly what Kandi wants them to do. “Kandi sometimes has a way of playing like she doesn’t know anything. I mean she didn’t know that Apollo’s girlfriend was coming to her restaurant opening even when she invited Phaedra,” she added. “[…] So it’s almost like you know, other people get to do the dirty work. And she gets to be like, ‘well I didn’t know or I didn’t mean for that to happen. Kind of like a throw your rock and hide your hands situation.” Hmmmm, did Kandi set Porsha up to have a fight at her HUSBAND’s birthday party??? That sounds like a reach. More from Porsha on the flip.
Source: Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction / Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction Thomia Hunter Life Sentence Commuted By Gov. John Kasich Don’t think Cyntoia Brown was the only woman in prison for killing a man who was attempting to inflict violence upon her. According to Cleveland , Gov. and former Presidential candidate John Kasich has commuted Thomia Hunter’s sentence after she has served a hard 15 years incarcerated. Thomia Hunter was sentenced to life in prison after a 2005 incident where she murdered her ex-boyfriend who had been abusive to her for years. How abusive you ask? Well… Hunter was sentenced to life in prison with her first shot at parole after 15 years after a jury convicted her of murder and felonious assault. Hunter testified at trial that Harris, whom she had broken up with a few months earlier, attacked after he accused her of cheating on him. She said he beat her, choked her, poured hot sauce in her eyes and cut her with a knife before she stabbed him. If you beat us and pour Texas Pete in our eyes you deserve whatever befalls you after that. Harris suffered 22 knife wounds that the parole board said were applied with minimal force. The board also found that Hunter proved she suffered prior domestic abuse at Harris’s hands, and that she genuinely feared for her life and had no way to escape his attack in the minutes before she stabbed him. For all that abuse, 22 stab wounds and dying is getting off easy. Gov. Kasich’s letter of commutation states that Thomia will be released on July 15. Now let’s free the rest of the women who have been imprisoned for protecting themselves.
Source: Scott Legato / Getty Father Of Alleged R. Kelly Victim Responds To Criticism The father of one of the alleged victims of R. Kelly is speaking out. Angelo Clary whose been catching hell on social media after appearing in #SurvivingRKelly with his wife, called into the QuickSilva show this week to defend himself against allegations that he failed to protect his daughter. If you watched the Lifetime documentary Angelo’s daughter Azriel Clary met R. Kelly in 2015 at his concert that Angelo and his wife attended with her. Following that she had a “meeting” with R. Kelly in a hotel room that her parent’s dragged her out of before she eventually disappeared with the singer. Angelo and his wife were then seen throwing rocks at the windows of R. Kelly’s studio in an attempt to save her. That prompted criticism from the likes of Master P who said there’s NO WAY he’d stand idly by while his daughter remained with R. Kelly and he slammed the parents for not “going to war” with the singer. He hinted that he’d be in jail for harming the singer if he were in the situation. “If somebody daddy and you knocking on the door—they got your daughter in there, y’all already know,” said Master P said. “I ain’t gonna be on no reality show, Lifetime, I’m gonna be on CNN. Straight up.” “You shouldn’t be on there unless you on CNN from a jail cell. […]”Those parents shouldn’t have let it go that far—-if you got love for your kids, you going to war behind your kids.” According to Angelo however, there’s more to the story than what was seen on the doc. The dad told QuickSilva that his daughter was suicidal just before attending the R. Kelly concert so he and his wife took her to the show because a doctor encouraged them to. The doctor told the parents that Azriel exploring her musical career is beneficial to her mental health so the parents believed the show would be fine. He also added that earlier that week Azriel took pills to harm herself so they didn’t want her to be alone. Things got especially interesting however when Angelo addressed Master P. According to Angelo he’s been in jail before and he doesn’t plan on going back. Not only that, Master P wouldn’t bail him out if he were arrested for killing R. Kelly. Ya’ll love [R. Kelly], everybody love him, that’s why won’t nobody speak up on it. That’s why Master P will say something about the parents, but I didn’t see Master P acknowledge that R. Kelly is a predator. That hurts my heart ’cause that should have been the first thing out his mouth.” Master P ain’t gon’ write my family no check when I’m sitting there doing 30 years for killing R. Kelly. So bruh, if you gon’ speak on something, speak on the predator, not someone who gotta pay bills and support his family.” Listen to Angelo Clary defend himself from detractors on QuikSilva’s show below.

Source: Scott Legato / Getty Cops Show Up To R. Kelly’s Birthday Party It seems R. Kelly isn’t safe in his hometown anymore—and rightfully so. After Surviving R. Kelly further enlightened the nation as to just how disgusting and disturbed the singer is , he decided to throw himself a birthday party this week anyway. Cops showed up after someone called 9-1-1 to reveal his whereabouts, with the caller also mentioning there was a warrant out for R. Kelly’s arrest. Click here to listen to the dispatcher put a call in for Chicago PD units. From TMZ : Kelly was partying his ass off at V75 Chicago early Thursday morning when cops say someone dropped a dime … calling them to say Kelly was there, and had a warrant for his arrest. Check out the police dispatcher putting the call out to Chicago PD units. Unfortunately, the cops had to leave without making an arrest: Law enforcement confirmed to TMZ they did indeed go to the club and made contact with Kelly — however, once they determined there was NO actual arrest warrant … Kelly was free to go about his business. It’s unclear if the caller was just pranking Kelly, or if the person really thought there was an arrest warrant … but cops tell us they routinely respond to such calls … just to make sure. Clearly, folks want him behind bars. As for his birthday party, he was heard possibly referencing Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly doc , saying “I don’t give a fu** what’s going on tonight” while singing “Bump N’ Grind” to the crowd. See that disturbing clip here . Hopefully, the super creep is locked up SOON.

Source: Splash News / Splash News She Had A Fitting Playlist During The Occasion Stormy Daniels is continuing to be perfectly petty towards Trump with some not-so-subtle expressions of a care-free porn star. On the same night 45 made his exhausting television appearance on Tuesday trying to promote his wall , Stormy decided to put on a show for Instagram Live. The 39-year-old adult film star recorded herself folding laundry in nothing but her bra and underwear, according to New York Daily News . Stormy made the announcement that she would be going live at 9 p.m. EST, the same time Trump was scheduled to give his pro-wall address to America. Pet-TY. “If you’re looking for anything even remotely worth watching tonight at 9pm EST, I will be folding laundry in my underwear for 8 minutes on Instagram live,” she tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. Once Stormy went live, she proceeded to fold her unmentionables while listening to Pink Floyd ‘s “Another Brick in the Wall.” She also ate some delicious chips as her soundtrack switched to Taylor Swift ‘s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” A song aimed at Trump, no doubt. Both Trump’s address and Stormy’s folding ended up being ten minutes total, and Stormy said she attracted 100,000 viewers during her broadcast. She must’ve been satisfied with this number when she playful posted a pic of herself on IG, writing, “Laundry is done!” Surely, Trump was devastated he missed the live house chores because he was too busy selling crap to the American people. Him and Stormy will forever be linked since Stormy claimed they had a fling back in 2006 while Trump was still married to Melania Trump . While Trump might’ve gotten his orange pebbles off at the time, the experience wasn’t as riveting for Stormy, who described it as “the least impressive sex I’d ever had” in her book Full Disclosure. Our heart goes out to her.
