Jemele Hill Tells Nothing But The Truth About Being Labeled Black and Political In First Interview Since Leaving ESPN

J emele Hill and Michael Smith made history at ESPN by being the first all-Black anchor team on “SportsCenter” in February 2017. They both have left ESPN and now Hill has sat down for her first interview since the departure—and she drops some truths about how they were treated at the network. See Also: President Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Could Lead To More Voter Suppression In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , the 42-year-old says they were labeled political simply because they were Black and way before she made any comments about Trump. Hill explained, “Mike (Smith) and I specifically were called political, way before any of the Trump stuff ever happened and I always thought that was a very interesting label, because frankly, I think that most of the time it was said because we were the two Black people.” She continued, “It wasn’t our fault that Chance the Rapper decided to wear a Colin Kaepernick T-shirt and say that he wasn’t supporting the NFL. We didn’t have him on the show for that. We had him on the show to talk about him being in Vegas for Mayweather-McGregor. But because you have the two Black people that are outspoken, with another outspoken Black artist, suddenly the show is too political.” Thankfully, ESPN is in her rear view mirror because big things have already come her way. She will narrate the LeBron James basketball documentary  Shut Up and Dribble , which airs in November on Showtime. She is now a staff writer for The Atlantic and is developing a TV series with Gabrielle Union, which is loosely based on her relationship with her best friend of 20 years. Hill explained to  The Hollywood Reporter , “The best way I can describe it, it’s as if Molly and Issa from ‘Insecure’ had grown up. Imagine those two characters as fully-grown, accomplished women of color.” Huge congrats to Jemele Hill!

Sunken Place Demon Candace Owens Calls Dr. Christine Blasey Ford A Liar

N ow that Paris Dennard and Omarosa are no longer in Trump ‘s good graces, fraudulent Candace Owens is gunning to be his new BBFF (best Black friend forever). Just two years ago  Owens was anti-Trump , but now, like the rest of the opportunists — from Diamond and Silk to Pastor Darrell Scott — she has sold her soul to be a famous Black Trump supporter. To prove her devotion, on Wednesday morning she took her Trump allegiance to a new level on by calling Dr. Christine Blasey Ford , the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee  Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault in the summer of 1982, a “liar.” See Also: President Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Could Lead To More Voter Suppression Owens posted an article from Fox News (as if that’s an unbiased source) claiming an ex-boyfriend of Ford’s from 1992 to 1998 said she never brought up the sexual assault to him. The ex, who chose to remain anonymous, also accused Ford of preparing a friend who was going to take a lie detector test because they were interviewing for a job at the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office. The letter claimed Ford “explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked, and helped [her friend] become familiar and less nervous about the exam.” Owens’ sunken place brain translated the unfounded allegation as Ford being a “liar,” even though Ford said she didn’t tell anyone about the alleged assault until 2012. Not to mention, preparing a friend does not mean she was coaching them to lie (or that Ford would know how to fake a lie detector test). Nonetheless, Owens wrote, “I would like to be among the first to say that I want Christine Blasey Ford to serve time in PRISON— as ALL WOMEN who FAKE their sexual assaults, ruin the lives of men, and have the audacity to utilize our tax dollars for baseless investigations, should.” WOW. LIAR Christine Ford’s entire testimony just got blown up by an ex-boyfriend of 6 years. She has HELPED people prep to take polygraph tests, never had a fear of flying—oh, and of course, never once mentioned her sexual assault. #LockHerUp https://t.co/dORah99mtw — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) October 3, 2018 She continued, “WOW. LIAR Christine Ford’s entire testimony just got blown up by an ex-boyfriend of 6 years. She has HELPED people prep to take polygraph tests, never had a fear of flying—oh, and of course, never once mentioned her sexual assault. ” I would like to be among the first to say that I want Christine Blasey Ford to serve time in PRISON— as ALL WOMEN who FAKE their sexual assaults, ruin the lives of men, and have the audacity to utilize our tax dollars for baseless investigations, should. #DefendOurMen https://t.co/oM3nIlpnFb — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) October 3, 2018 Candace Owens is truly delusional. But then again, she is the same person who once tweeted that the NRA “the nation’s oldest civil rights organization” that was founded “to train black Americans to use guns to defend themselves against the Ku Klux Klan, a Democrat terrorist group.” SEE ALSO: Meet Jogger Joe, The Man Who Took Racist Cue From BBQ Becky In Tossing Homeless Man’s Clothes Trump-Supporting DA Calls ‘Ghetto’ Maxine Waters A ‘Bitch,’ Can’t Believe She Hasn’t Been Shot This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3785430″ overlay=”true”]

Cierra Ramirez Drops New Ma$e-Inspired Single “Bad Boys”

Source: Alec Luna / Effective Immediately PR Mason Betha is still an inspiration outchea. We know Cierra Ramirez best from television shows like  The Fosters ,  but the actress is also a talented singer. In a new single that takes cues from Ma$e’s 1997 hit “Feel So Good,” the rising star makes it clear she’s all about “Bad Boys.” In case you didn’t know, the 23-year-old hit the ground running with her viral song “Faded” last year, which has over 4 million views since its release and was the #3 most added song at Top 40 Rhythm Radio last summer. So what inspired the new single? According to the track announcement: “Bad Boys” is an alluring, up-tempo track, inspired by the classic film Cry Baby which is Cierra’s favorite movie. In writing and recording the captivating song, Cierra was inspired by the idea that as she says, “Too many people are “playing it safe” in life and instead of following their hearts and passions, they are living up to other people’s expectations. What drives our hearts may not always be the safe decision, but ultimately it can be the right one for your life.” Listen below and let us know what you think. Besides the new song, this is also going to be a great year for her in film and on the small screen: This fall she is starring in and co-producing a new television show Good Trouble, (a spin-off of The Fosters), with her co-star Maia Mitchell, and completing the picture, (pun intended) Cierra has voiced the MARVEL character of Miss America, aka America Chavez. The renowned comic book character is the first LatinX, LGBTQ superhero, who will bow for the first time in the soon to be released film, Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors airing on 9/30 on Disney and Disney XD. Hit the flip and check out some of her most recent photos…Cierra’s all grown up.

All of the net proceeds from tickets to the show will be given to the Mac Miller Circles Fund, which will be co-managed by Mac’s estate, family, an advisors board, and the 4 Strikes management team. Just recently launched following Mac’s passing, MMCF aims to help young people in underserved communities by giving them access to programming and additional resources centered on creativity and community building.

Remy Ma Hits ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ With Papoose, Talks Non-Relationship With Nicki Minaj

Last week, Remy Ma and Papoose hit up The Wendy Williams Show  to promote their new reality TV special, Meet The Mackies . While there, Remy Ma delved into her non-relationship with Nicki Minaj  and according to the rapper, there’s no beef. When Williams asked Remy Ma whether or not she’d spoken to Cardi B since the rising star’s NYFW beef with Minaj , Remy ma responded “When we usually speak it’s not like a whole gossip thing, or whatever. It’s usually, always words of encouragement: ‘Girl don’t worry about that,’ ‘Girl this’ll blow over,’ ‘or You looked great in Paris,’ or ‘Congratulations on the baby”…things like that. I don’t think neither one of us really dwell on the negative stuff. So much positive things is going on in both of our lives right now, that we have way more positive than negative to talk about.” “It’s no relationship,” Remy Ma continued when Williams asked her about her own relationship with Minaj. “I don’t harbor any ill feelings or wish bad on anybody—I don’t.” Besides all the Hip-Hop beef , Papoose and Remy told their #BlackLove story. They spoke on getting married in prison, renewing their vows, and more. The longtime couple also revealed that “contrary to popular belief”, they don’t talk about rap or music with each other.

Kanye West Dragged By Unlikely Foe After Tweeting Plans To “Abolish The 13th Amendment”

Source: Ivan Nikolov/WENN Kanye West is in danger of being canceled forever after he went on a pro-Trump rant this past Sunday. In the clip, you can hear some folks in the audience cheering, but many others boo’ed. On top of that foolishness , the “I Thought About Killing You” rapper also hit Twitter with a photo of his MAGA hat, declaring it a symbol of good things. What’s hilarious is, even wypipo are annoyed at this point. Along with the photo, ‘Ye tweeted: “This represents good and America becoming whole again.  We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs.  We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.” Now you know, when Captain America curses you TF out , something is really wrong. Chris Evans retweeted ‘Ye with a message that has since gone viral. “There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue,” Evans wrote. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.” What he basically said was “F*ck you, Yeezus.” Apparently what Kanye West meant to say was this: not abolish but. let’s amend the 13th amendment We apply everyone’s opinions to our platform — ye (@kanyewest) September 30, 2018 Check out all the receipts below and ‘Ye fans, let us know if you plan to ride with your fave ’til the wheels fall off or nah?
