Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN Kenya Moore appeared in a guest role 11th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta , but returns for the show’s 12th season as a cast member. In a new interview, the former Miss USA shared details of a potentially explosive beef after claiming her co-star NeNe Leakes referred to her baby as a “buffalo.” Moore sat down with Wendy Williams for a candid chat that ranged from Moore’s estranged husband and their attempts to hopefully reconcile, a bit Moore’s family past, and her beautiful baby girl, Brooklyn. Speaking of her daughter, Moore delved into Leakes’ alleged comments during the program. Things got spicy around the 4:30-minute mark when Williams asked about the beef between the two. In her words, Moore says that she once believed she and Leakes were friends but that during her pregnancy, which she mentioned was high-risk, Leakers never checked in on her. Further, Moore says Leakes ran into her when she was eight months pregnant, allegedly calling her a “monster” and that her child was a “buffalo” among other insults. Moore also noted with some slight shade that Williams claims Leakes as a friend. Check out the interview below. — Photo: WENN

High School Teacher Who Wore Blackface While Pretending To Be Common Placed On Leave

Read this article:

Source: ALEX EDELMAN / Getty These white folks just don’t learn. A California high school teacher who dressed up as Common for Halloween decided he needed to rock blackface to complete his costume. He was placed on administrative leave school officials revealed. A student who goes by the handle @karington_kk filmed the racist spectacle and shared it on her Twitter account on Friday (Nov.1). In the 23-second clip, the teacher can be seen pretending to Common mocking the rappers Microsoft AI commercial in front of the class. The caption for the Tweet read: “Sooooooooo… one of our WHITE teachers at mhs yesterday decided to paint his face so look like common the rapper yesterday,”  Sooooooooo… one of our WHITE teachers at mhs yesterday decided to paint his face so look like common the rapper yesterday. pic.twitter.com/1WudSddCLZ — karrington (@karrington_kk) November 1, 2019 The student who shared the video is not an actual student of the teacher in question Buzzfeed News reports. She received the clip from her friend, whose mother also works as a teacher in Milpitas Unified School District. As for her reasoning for sharing the troubling video, @karington_kk told the internet publication: “We decided to post this to bring this to the eye of the public,” the user said. “He genuinely thought it was okay to come to school like this.” In a statement to BuzzFeed News , school officials revealed Tuesday(Nov.5) he has been placed on leave. “The employee has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation,” said Scott Forstner, the communications specialist of Milpitas Unified School District in Milpitas, north of San Jose.” The teacher’s name has not been revealed due to the school instructing BuzzFeed News not to share it because the situation was “a confidential personnel matter.” The principal of the school, Francis Rojas and Superintendent Cheryl Jordan, sent out a memo to parents and faculty about the incident on Sunday. “Blackface paint has a historical and present-day connotation of racism that demeans those of African ancestry,” the memo reads, with a link to a History.com page about the  racist origins of blackface . “The act was disparaging to our students, parents, colleagues, and the Milpitas community we serve.” “We strive to embed our instruction with cultural and historical content so that our students see themselves in what they learn, and can be proud of who they are,” said Jordan and Rojas. “We are committed to building an inclusive learning community for our students together with you.” The costume would have been great without the blackface.

T.I. Reveals He Intrusively Attends Daughter Deyjah’s Gynecologist Appointments To ‘Make Sure Her Hymen’s Intact’

Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Poor Deyjah! T.I. Reveals He Intrusively Attends Daughter Deyjah’s Gynecologist Appointments This is an inappropriate and intrusive practice rooted in patriarchy, Tip. T.I. recently made a shocking revelation that’s going viral. The rap dad was a guest on Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham’s “Ladies Like Us” podcast and spoke on a number of things including marriage advice for Nazanin who recently married her longtime love Miguel. Things were especially interesting however when the group discussed parenting and the “sex talk.” According to T.I. he’s not only had the sex talk with his kids, but he’s also especially interested in making sure his second-oldest daughter Deyjah remains pure. According to T.I. he makes it a point to make sure the 18-year-old isn’t sexually active and actually attends her gynecologist appointments to ensure her hymen is intact. View this post on Instagram set: @fashionnova #AD A post shared by Deyjah Harris (@princess_of_da_south) on Oct 4, 2019 at 2:20pm PDT Tip said he’s been doing this practice since his daughter’s 16th birthday and brushed off a doctor telling him that a woman’s hymen could be broken in different ways other than sexual activity. “Have I? This is the thing. Deyjah’s 18, just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself,” he said. “And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen,” said Tip while the hosts laughed. “So it’s this one time we go, I think this might have been after her 16th birthday. This is what we do. Right after the birthday we celebrate,” he said. “Usually like the day after the party she’s enjoying her gifts. I put a sticky note on the door: ‘Gyno. Tomorrow. 9:30.’ So we’ll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk and the doctor’s maintaining a high level of professionalism. He’s like, ‘You know sir, I have to, in order to share information’ — I’m like, ‘Deyjah they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you wouldn’t want me to know? See doc? No problem.’ And so then they come and say, ‘Well I just want you to know that there are other ways besides sex that the hymen can be broken like bike riding, athletics, horseback riding and just other forms of athletic physical activity.’ So I say, ‘Look doc, she don’t ride no horses, she don’t ride no bike, she don’t play no sports. Just check the hymen please and give me back my results expeditiously. ‘” He also proudly told the ladies that as of Deyjah’s 18th birthday, “her hymen is still intact” and he thinks it’s a surefire way to keep boys away from the college student. “They’re no fun. Who wants a virgin?” he asked. “Like really? All that work!” Tip, this is pretty problematic and it’s causing a firestorm of controversy from folks who can’t believe that T.I. is policing his daughter’s body. People are also wondering if he was THIS interested in his sons remaining virgins. View this post on Instagram what’s your zodiac sign? outfit: @gsuwoo A post shared by Deyjah Harris (@princess_of_da_south) on Dec 9, 2018 at 12:30pm PST The answer to that question is presumably NO, our sister MadameNoire pointed out that during an episode of “The Family Hustle” Tip found out that his son King, a high schooler, isn’t a virgin and he brushed it off. Source: Prince Williams / ATLPics.Net We’re hoping that Tip will explain this 1920s-esque patriarchal practice with Deyjah ExpediTIously cause this is NOT cool.

Drake Krushing Kylie’s Kuchifritos Konfirmed? Sources Say Six God Has Been Spending Time With Jenner “Romantically”

Source: Palace Lee / SplashNews / Splash News Drake And Kylie Jenner Have Been Hanging Out Romantically Since Her Split From Travis Scott Told y’all… Drake and Kylie Jenner are continuing to kick up rumors of a newfound relationship. PEOPLE is now reporting that the pair have been getting close since her split with Travis Scott last month. “He and Kylie have been spending time together recently,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. “They’ve been friends for a long time and Drake is very close to the family.” Another friend tells PEOPLE that Kylie, 22, and the rapper, 33, have been hanging out “romantically” since she and Scott called it quits in October. Multiple people close to Kylie are casting doubt on a pairing though, with one insider saying Kylie and Drake are “just friends,” and another denying that they’re dating as well. Jenner and Drake, born Aubrey Graham, got tongues wagging after their friendliness at this 33rd birthday party at Goya Studios didn’t go unnoticed. More recently, Kylie attended Drake’s Halloween party in West Hollywood last Thursday, with one source telling PEOPLE that Kylie was there until “super late.” Jenner confirmed her breakup with boyfriend of two years, Travis Scott last month, tweeting that she and the Astrowurld rapper are on great terms, with their daughter Stormi as their main focus. She noted that their friendship and daughter remained their priority. Y’all think Stormi has had a playdate with Adonis yet? And if that happened BEFORE or AFTER Kylie and Travis split. Y’all think this is all amicable in real life? Maybe Travis is happy with someone else too — so he’s not tripping off his daughter’s mom dating his former collaborator? Or is this just another messy match in a long history of Kar-Jenner couplings? Is there a moral code that makes this one a violation or do you believe that all is fair in love and war?

Source: Vallery Jean / Getty T here’s a saying when a comedian dies, the world gets a little less funny. That’s what happened when J ohn Witherspoon , better known by his name on The Wayans Brothers Pops, died on October 29th. Two of his most notable roles are playing Craig’s Dad in the movie “Friday” Willie Jones, and his role as “Grandad” in The Boondocks TV series. John David “J.D.” Witherspoon recently took to Twitter to share a fun fact about the time his dad almost turned down the role of “Grandad” on the hit show The Boondocks . “True story, my Dad almost passed up on the role of grandad at first,” J.D. recalled on Twitter, Saturday. “He asked me ‘JD you ever heard of this thing called  The Boondocks ?’ I heard him say that and BUGGED OUT! I told him ‘you gotta take this job!’ And he did.” Here’s my family at the premier of the The Boondocks. True story my Dad almost passed up on the role of grandad at first.
