Source: VH1 / VH1 Barbie And Vudu Arrested On Black Ink Compton Things went WAY left on Black Ink Compton during a group camping trip. Barbie and Vudu Dahl call the cops and start breaking things when the guys refuse to open the RV and give them their belongings. Problem is, breaking people’s property is a crime. Press play to peep how it all played out. We get being frustrated, but that was just dumb.
For the past decade, we've watched Amber Portwood on MTV. Honestly, she really hasn't changed that much. She said ridiculously awful things to the people in her life then, and we've heard her do the same now — if anything, she's gotten worse. But somehow, someway, there are several Teen Mom fans who feel the need to defend Amber in the wake of her domestic violence arrest. And Andrew Glennon is not having it. 1. The Arrest Before July 5th, a lot of people thought that Amber’s relationship with Andrew was going OK. But then she got arrested for chasing him with a machete, and then people didn’t think that anymore. 2. So Crazy You’ve probably heard this story a billion times right now, but just in case you haven’t here we go — according to Andrew, Amber got upset because road work prevented them from getting to a fireworks display the evening before, and she went on a rampage for hours and hours. 3. Wow She beat him with a shoe — she admitted to that part, and police have photos of the bruises and scratches on his neck — and threatened to kill herself. She even allegedly took a handful of pills, but threw them back up when Andrew threatened to call 911. 4. Amber, No But things got even worse later, when she got so angry that she grabbed a machete she kept by her bed (we later learned that the machete is just one of the many, many weapons she keeps in her bedroom) and chased Andrew, who was holding baby James, into another room. Andrew held the door closed with his foot while he texted 911 to let them know that he felt his life and his son’s life were in danger. 5. Thank Goodness Amber was arrested and ultimately charged with three felonies — two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. 6. Yay, Andrew Andrew also filed for custody of James. As of now, he’s got it, with Amber only having supervised visitation occasionally. View Slideshow

Lamar Odom and his new girlfriend Sabrina Parr visited “The Real” and frankly, their whole presence seemed awkward AF. Maybe it’s because they are still in a fresh relationship??? Anywho, in the interview, Lamar reveals that he and Sabrina will be doing a reality show together. The couple didn’t reveal where we could see it yet, but stressed it would be about “Black Love”. Other tidbits included Lamar sucking Sabrina’s toes for fun and he basically proposes to her on tv…but she’s holding out for a ring. YIKES.

T he maternal mortality crisis continues to disproportionately affect Black women. According to new research released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , for women over the age of 30, Black women are four to five times more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth. Entrepreneur Kimberly Seals Allers is aiming to reverse this alarming trend through her app Irth and she recently received $200,000 in funding to push her efforts forward, Black News reported. New App to Help Save Pregnant Black Women and Their Babies Gets $200K in Funding https://t.co/FCktPt7ZjJ pic.twitter.com/d3EUFpR0sw — Black News (@BlackNews) September 5, 2019 The app was designed to combat racial bias in the healthcare space; especially for Black moms who are expecting. The digital platform features reviews and ratings of health facilities and healthcare providers so that individuals can make informed decisions when it comes to seeking the best care during their pregnancy journey. The grant was donated by the Tara Health Foundation which focuses on the well-being of women and girls. Seals Allers—a notable author and journalist—says that her personal experiences inspired her to create Irth. After enduring racial bias at the hospital where she delivered her child—a facility that her white friends praised—she saw first-hand how Black mothers are often mistreated. “At that time of my life, I was on student insurance and I was not yet married. Despite my career and academic accomplishments, I was treated like an unwed black woman with basic insurance. I lived that. It was clear to me that not all people experience the same place the same way,” Seals Allers said in a statement. Several individuals and organizations have stepped up to back platforms that are focused on addressing issues surrounding maternal health. Tennis star Serena Williams recently invested in the maternal healthcare startup Mahmee which provides expecting parents with a comprehensive dashboard that tracks the health of the mother and child. Parents can also utilize the platform for educational resources.

T wo Black women entrepreneurs paid it forward by giving back to students in need at their alma mater. Pinky Cole , the creator of the plant-based burger restaurant Slutty Vegan, and Harlem Hops owner Stacey Lee —both alums of Clark Atlanta University—helped 30 seniors who attend the historically Black college pay off their debt, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. These two women went back to their alma mater and asked for a list of seniors who wouldn’t be able to graduate due to outstanding balances. Then they partnered to clear them. https://t.co/UmdvX9MfAp — #becauseofthemwecan (@Becauseofthem) September 12, 2019 Lee, who founded Harlem’s first-ever Black-owned beer bar, was determined to find a way to assist students who are struggling with the cost of tuition. She contacted Cole to explore ways they could join forces and eliminate financial burdens for students so they’d be able to walk across the graduation stage. Cognizant of how the student debt crisis has hit HBCUs the hardest, the women were motivated to utilize their resources to make a difference in the lives of students of color. Cole and Lee—who are members of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated—connected with the school and asked for a list of seniors who needed to pay off debt so they would be able to graduate. They randomly chose 30 students to help and surprised them on campus to let them know that their outstanding balances have been handled. “God has been so good to us both. It just felt right,” Cold told Because of Them We Can . “Growing up in a single-family household, and being the first to go to college, I know what it feels like to not know where the money is coming from. But there were people who believed in me despite my circumstances and I wanted to be that person for someone else.” Since the inception of her fast-growing business, which has evolved into a staple in Atlanta, she has donated over $100,000 towards the education of college students in need. Entrepreneurs are stepping up to help students of different ages tackle their debt. In June, a Black-owned barbershop in North Carolina raised money to help high school seniors pay off their debt so they would be able to graduate.

As we mentioned during our Dancing With The Stars recap this week, Christie Brinkley had to bow out and was replaced by her daughter, Sailor. The reason was an injury — but Wendy Williams used her platform to announce to the world that Christie must have faked it. Now, Christie is firing back, exposing Wendy's secrets, and inviting the talk show host to be kinder. Unfortunately, despite a longstanding professional friendship with Christie, Wendy Williams spun a three-minute conspiracy theory on her show. After Christie tragically fell and broke her wrist, she had to bow out of Dancing With The Stars , and was replaced by her daughter, Sailor. Wendy's theory, which she spun before her audience of millions, is that this was by Christie's design. According to Wendy, Christie must have planned to fake her injury from the start in order to give her gorgeous model daughter a career boost. Christie would be the “foot in the door,” and then millions of eyes would be watching Sailor every week. The cunning plan that Wendy describes sounds like a brilliant way to elevate a celebrity daughter from moderate fame to a household name. But there's a huge difference from thinking of a good plan and pushing it as a theory to a massive audience. And, again, Wendy and Christie had a lengthy history of professional friendship. Notably, Wendy had also appeared on Dancing With The Stars herself a number of years ago, when her show was brand new. It didn't help that Wendy took an unnecessary swipe, saying that despite Christie's looks, it's all “65 on the inside.” Thta's just rude. Christie Brinkley heard what Wendy had to say and was shocked — and hurt — to her core, as she revealed on The Talk . “Wendy Williams started this rumor, which was stunning to me because I've been on Wendy's show a couple of times,” Christie states. “For some reason she liked me,” she reveals. “And she would call on me to support her in tough times.” “So,” Christie recalls. “I got a call one day that she was having a terrible bout of stage fright, and she was about to drop out of Chicago The Musical ,” “And,” she adds. “Would I come over and talk to her.” Christie says: “I was like, 'You will never meet a more supportive and loving cast. You will love this experience and you will regret it if you don't do it.'” “I was there for her,” she emphasizes. “Then she goes through a divorce, and I get a call again,” “I get a call again, because let's face it, I'm kind of an expert in that,” Christie acknowledges. Christie is a stunningly gorgeous woman who has famously gotten divorced four times. “I came again and was like, 'I'm going to help you.'”she shares. Christie suggests that Wendy might not have said these things if she had known how serious her injury really was. “I didn't just break the [bones]…” Christie announces. She explains that “because of the angle I hit, they shattered,” “My surgery, that was supposed to take an hour and a half, ended up taking three hours,” Christie laments. “And,” she reveals. “They ended up putting in a plate.” “My message to Wendy is, it's so much more fun to be kind,” Christie suggests. “Try it,” she adds. “t can't feel good to try to hurt other people.” “If it feels good, something's seriously wrong,” Christie concludes. Honestly? Remind us to never piss off Christie Brinkley. She may be a knockout, but she will verbally knock you tf out — with a smile on her face.
