Caucasians To The Left! Beyoncé Bounced On Reebok Deal Over Melanin Deficient Staff…Inks With Diversified Adidas Team Instead

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Reebok Fumbles Beyoncé Bag With Whitewashed Staff, Adidas WINS Ivy Park Deal! Reebok might have learned the hard way about hiring majority aryan-esque folks to their team after Beyonce reportedly threw them deuces recently. News of Beyonce relaunching her Ivy Park brand, creating a signature shoe (YES a Beyonce shoe!) and doing other cool projects with Adidas recently broke. CNBC Sports producer Jess Golden called the partnership “multilayered”. Just In: Adidas and Beyoncé have announced a multi-layered partnership today. Beyoncé will be a creative partner for the brand, develop new signature footwear and apparel, as well as re-launch her Ivy Park brand with adidas. — Jess Golden (@JGolden5) April 4, 2019 Beyonce confirmed the deal in a statement: “This is the partnership of a lifetime for me. Adidas has had tremendous success in pushing creative boundaries. We share a philosophy that puts creativity, growth and social responsibility at the forefront of business. I look forward to re-launching and expanding Ivy Park on a truly global scale with a proven, dynamic leader” An as interesting twist to this story is that Adidas was not the first mega-brand to get dibbs on Bey-Bey’s creations. Reebok was in talks with Beyonce first and FUMBLED. How’d they do THAT???? They don’t hire enough black folks! ESPN Writer Nick Depaula just revealed in a segment on “The Jump” that Beyonce was turned off by Reebok’s lack of Black people on staff. Reportedly, after Reebok created an elaborate presentation to impress Bey, she took a look around the room and asked: “Is this the team that would be working on my product?” When Bey’s question was answered with a “yes”, Beyonce replied, “Nobody in this room reflect my background, my skin color, where I’m from and what I want to do.” Hit play to hear it. This is about Beyoncé so you should watch it but also @NickDePaula tells a really interesting story of why Beyoncé walked out of her meeting with the Reebok people and ended up signing with the adidas side of the brand instead. Representation, baby. pic.twitter.com/hE6R3Z4pm9 — Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) April 5, 2019 Yikes! In your face Reebok. Time to stop hiring Beckys and get you some Blue Ivys! It’s 2019.

Chilleeeee: Nashville Woman Sues Cheating Ex-Boyfriend Who Gave Her Herpes After Sleeping With Another Man

Source: Tim Robberts / Getty Everyone screws up in relationships from time to time, but some things are just lawsuit worthy. One Nashville woman took her issues to court, claiming that she became infected with HSV-2 genital herpes after her boyfriend of four years had cheated on her. The woman, who filed the complaint under the pseudonym “PH”, says she was free of any sexually transmitted diseases before starting what she thought was a monogamous relationship in Nov. 2013. According to legal documents : “PH and Gregory Cole, of Brentwood, first met in 2010, and then reconnected in 2014, and formed a sexual relationship which lasted until 2018, and she believed Cole to be heterosexual, and monogamous, until April of 2018, when Gregory Cole accidentally called the woman from his cell phone during a sexual encounter with another man, and the phone call lasted one hour and twenty-eight minutes. The woman says she listened to the entire call, which included explicit sexual conversation and narrating various actions in which he and his male partner were engaging.” Following the shocking call, PH went to get tested for STDs, only to find out that she in fact had been infected with HSV-2, genital herpes, which is incurable. The woman says she hasn’t had any other sexual partners since hooking up with Cole. She is currently suing Cole for $1 million, siting battery, infliction of emotional distress, both intentional and neglect, negligence, and fraud. However, Cole has refused to speak with her about the incident. Guess she’ll see him in court.
