Wendy Williams has had it, people. She’s sick and tired, alright?!? She just can’t handle any more women coming out and feeling empowered and calling out men who have sexually harassed or assaulted them. Seriously… enough already with this nonsense! We wish we were being sarcastic and silly, but the obnoxious talk show host really did say essentially this during her ridiculous “Hot Topics” segment on Friday. “So there’s a grassroot movement to remove R. Kelly’s music…or remove R. Kelly from the music industry forever,” Williams explained to her audience, asking: “What is this 10 years too late? Really?” For the record: R. Kelly is an awful human being. Videotapes exist of him urinating on underage girls in bed and he’s basically running a sex cult as we type . So… yeah. Maybe this movement to bring the artist’s hideous behavior to light is a little bit late, but better than never, no? Continued Williams on this subject: “Two Atlanta women are really upset that R. Kelly has had a career despite decades of troubling accusations…so they have now created a hashtag #MuteRKelly. “It’s not gonna work. Black people aren’t really good at protesting. Not since the King march…it’s not going to work.” Black people aren’t really good at protesting . We’re just gonna leave that sentence there and let Wendy’s message sink in. Why even bother trying, African-Americans? There’s no need to stand up for anything you believe in, according to this sage talk show host. Williams then returned to the topic of protesting a few minutes later, setting her sights on the courageous women who have come out to take down such sexual deviants as Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Louis CK and countless others. “I’m sick of this #MeToo movement,” she said, in all seriousness, explaining thusly: “I love that people are speaking up for the first time and coming out and everything, but now it’s got…I look at all men like, ‘You’re a #MeToo.’ “All of ’em, all of ’em, which is not fair.” There’s a really simple answer to this problem, Wendy. Are you ready for it? Okay, here goes… Actually listen to the stories of these women and then determine which men deserve to wear such a label and which do not. Yes, listen to other people. That’s all you need to do here. We know it’s asking a lot. This isn’t the first time Williams have stated a cruel and misguided opinion just to make headlines. It isn’t the 279th time, either. It’s all she knows how to do. It’s the only reason she exists. Earlier this month, Williams bashed Oprah for being fat , called Carrie Underwood a liar and told Kylie Jenner her baby would be ugly . She is a terrible human being. The sooner the world comes to this obvious realization, the better. View Slideshow: 19 Times Wendy Williams Has Totally Sucked as a Person
Image via Splash Online Campaign To Silence R. Kelly Is Gaining Serious Momentum R. Kelly has been runnin’ around makin’ money hand-over-fist for YEARS AFTER we all saw his infamous “alleged” sex tape. AFTER we read and heard the disturbing accounts of his sexual abuse. AFTER we watched his skin-crawling interview with Touré. AFTER he stepped in the name of underaged girls, manipulation and malevolent mindf**kin’…allegedly. Well, folks are tired of that. Namely, Oronike Odeleye of Creative Currents Artist Collaborative in Atlanta and child pornography survivor and activist, Kenyette Barnes. She’s been on the crusade to clip the Pied Piper’s cape since last year. Odeleye recently spoke to TheGrio and explained why she is doing everything she can to make the streets so hot for Robert Kelly that he permanently withdraws from public life. “I have been hearing about R. Kelly’s sexual abuse of young black women since I was in my teens. Every few years more women come out with their stories. More images and videos surface. More black girls are scarred for life just as they are coming into their womanhood and sexuality,” said Odeleye in an exclusive interview with theGrio. “There is a pariah in our community that we all know about, yet we all have continued to stand by and do nothing. We continue to dance to his music in the club, play it at our family reunions, celebrate to it at our weddings.” Flip the page to see the conversation surrounding #MuteRKelly on social media. S#!t is ’bout to get REAL for Robert. Continue reading →
Bishop Briggs, MTV’s Push: Artist to Watch for January, breaks down the spooky origin story of her single ‘Dream,’ including the haunted piano she used for inspiration.
When it comes to showing off her cleavage, it’s clear Demi Lovato has no issue. Seriously, no… issue… at… all . But the artist makes it clear in a new Instagram caption that she does sometimes feel self-conscious about a different body part. On Thursday, the 25-year-old singer opened up about the ongoing challenges of recovering from an eating disorder, along with the constant feelings of doubt she often has about her appearance. But which she is trying her hardest to overcome. Along with the following picture, Lovato wrote this caption: “So, I’m insecure about my legs in this picture but I’m posting it because I look so happy and this year I’ve decided I’m letting go of my perfectionism and embracing freedom from self criticism.” Lovato, of course, has long been very candid about her past struggle with a drug addiction and also with anorexia. She’s come a long way. But her battle will never really be over. Continued Lovato in her latest inspiring message: “Learning to love my body the way it is is challenging but life changing. “Giving up my eating disorder has been the most challenging journey of my life but I work every day towards solid recovery even if I mess up sometimes.” In conclusion: “Today I’m feeling strong. You all can do it too. It IS possible. Thank you God for this new chapter in my life. #EDrecovery #happyAF.” We’ve long admired Demi not just for overcoming her own demons, but for speaking out so often about them in an attempt to help others as well. In October, for instance, Lovato shared a couple before-and-after photos that made it apparent just how well she is doing these days. The singer also admits to having bipolar disorder, but she doesn’t want to be defined by it. She said the following three months ago in the documentary Simply Complicated, discussing her eating disorder: “I don’t want to give it the power that it controls my every thought but it’s something that I’m constantly thinking about. “Body image, what I wish I could be eating, what I wish I could be eating next, what I wish I didn’t eat, you know it’s just constant. “I get envious towards people who don’t struggle with an eating disorder because I think my life would be so much easier.” We continue to wish Lovato the best.
