Cold War: Things Got SUPER Shady At George H.W. Bush’s Funeral Between The Obamas, Clintons, And Trumps

Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty Obamas, Trumps, And Clinton Greet Awkwardly At Bush Funeral Today, the 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, was laid to rest. The death of a former President is one of the rare occasions where the current POTUS and all former living Presidents come together publicly. Considering the fact that all the living Presidents and their wives pretty much hate Donald Trump, things will obviously be awkward as AF when they all come face-to-face. Now we didn’t expect fisticuffs, least not during the funeral, but the tension was visibly palpable as Donald and Melania greeted the former First Families. The Obamas and Bill Clinton kept it cute for the most part, but Hillary Clinton, oh, Hillary Clinton wasn’t having any of it. Ice cold. Check it out in the video below. It was all good just minutes before the orange azzhole showed up… It only takes one person to change the climate in the room. pic.twitter.com/sRFrmKGBP9 — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) December 5, 2018 Did you see Michelle’s face after she shook Donnie’s hand?

Wow: Actress Accusing Salim Akil Of Abuse Reached Out To #MeToo’s Rose McGowan Months Ago

Source: Splash News/Euan Cherry/WENN.com / Splash News and WENN.com She Expressed Her Search For Resources In A Tweet More things are coming to light now that actress Amber Dixon Brenner accused Love Is co-creator Salim Akil of domestic and sexual abuse. TheJasmineBrand.com got the scoop that Brenner once reached out to Rose McGowan on Twitter in regards to seeking help. McGowan is known for bringing the #MeToo movement to a wider audience when she accused Harvey Weinstein of rape. Amber wrote on June 24, 2018: “@rosemcgowan How do traumatized men and women contact your organization? Many sisters and friends are curious about a means to tell their story, clarify their confusion, and out abusers of power in Hollywood and elsewhere.” @rosemcgowan How do traumatized men and women contact your organization? Many sisters and friends are curious about a means to tell their story, clarify their confusion, and out abusers of power in Hollywood and elsewhere. — Amber Dixon Brenner (@AmberDixon26) June 24, 2018   Rose did not reply to Amber’s tweet back then, but considering her story now, it could have caused things to unfold sooner. As we reported earlier, Brenner allegedly had a 10 year affair with Love Is and Black Lightning producer Salim Akil, who is married to another TV creator Mara Brock Akil. During their alleged 10-year-relationship, Brenner says Akil would slap and strangle her, and force her to enact oral sex. She says at one point, Akil even urinated in her mouth. She is suing Akil for compensatory damages, emotional distress, attorney fees and punitive damages. Amber also claims the Akils took from an original script she wrote and use the material for Love Is , which airs on the OWN network. She is suing the Akils and OWN in federal court for copyright infringement. Salim has since denied Amber’s allegations through his lawyer, who said, “These allegations are deeply upsetting – but they are also totally untrue. We will defend Salim to the fullest against the false and offensive claims that a woman with whom he had a past relationship has included in multiple unsubstantiated lawsuits.” Neither OWN, nor the CW (where Black Lightning airs) have responded to Amber’s allegations.

Thanks Porsha! NeNe Admits Snitching On Kandi & Says She’s Done Trusting The Ladies Of #RHOA

Source: Bravo/Kevin Mazur/Getty Images / Getty Who said dat???? NeNe Leakes Says Doesn’t Trust Anyone On RHOA NeNe is all the way done with the ladies of RHOA after her big blowup with Porsha. As previously reported she and Porsha Williams exploded on each other via social media after NeNe felt her “little sis” betrayed her by telling producers that she spilled the beans on Kandi Burruss. Now, NeNe’s speaking in her Bravo blog and according to her, she’s finished and DONE trusting the ladies of RHOA, not just Porsha. NeNe’s admitting that she told Porsha what was said and added that her ex-little sis broke her trust. “Well, obviously I did! [tell Porsha] Listen, I consider Porsha to be like a little sister. I always try to give all these girls, Porsha included, great advice. I’m always an ear or shoulder to lean on anytime! I had not met Dennis at the time when Kandi was speaking about him at the lunch. All the girls, Kandi included, felt that since I was the closest to Porsha, I should tell her the info Kandi knew. Me not wanting to get involved in others’ relationships, I told them I wouldn’t say a thing to Porsha about it. I didn’t want to say anything to Porsha. Once I had a chance to speak with Porsha privately, I told her! She also told me that I was speaking to her in confidence and that it wouldn’t go any further! I thought her word was her bond. Later when I heard that my name was being thrown around as the one who let the cat out the bag, I went to Porsha and asked her why this was being said. She said no one had used my name, and if she was asked, she would not say my name. She had my back! Look, I’m loyal to those that are loyal to me! We made a pact, and I was riding with that, because I thought her word was her bond. Well, apparently not, because she sat right in her interview and said: “NeNe told me,” which I didn’t know until I saw the show last night where Porsha revealed that I told her! What gets me is that none of these girls can be trusted, and that’s a damn shame!” Ooop! Is NeNe wrong to give up on the ladies of RHOA??? It seems like every new season a friendship falls apart.

Later, the discussion turns to social media and the way people are suffering because of the pressure to be hot on the internet. Hopefully, something said here serves purpose in your life.

As previously reported Shamari clapped back after Cynthia shadily said that her Blaque performance outfit looked “dated.” “I did side-eye Cynthia’s comment about Blaque’s look and hair being “dated” when everyone knows that ’90s looks are coming back full circle…I think she should respect Blaque’s “dated” look just like we respect her “veteran walk.” Following that Porsha wondered why Shamari was open about everything including her open marriage but NOT open about getting a stylist. Now she’s showing off her shoe collection, her purses, and even some lingerie. Dated, WHERE?! What’d you think about Shamari’s wardrobe?
