Google Employees Plan ‘Women’s Walkout’ To Protest Senior Executive’s Sexual Assault Payout 

NOAH SEELAM/AFP/Getty Images Google is not with the s****s when it comes to sexual assault allegations regarding it’s employees. Last week, the New York Times reported that Android creator Andy Rubin — and other executives at the company — have engaged in sexual misconduct over the years. As a response, more than 200 employees will take part in the company-wide walkout Thursday to protest. The Times reported that Google gave Rubin a reported $90 million exit package in 2014, following an investigation into an allegation that he had coerced another employee to perform oral sex on him. That investigation reportedly found that allegation to be credible. One Google employer told Buzzfeed : Personally, I’m furious. I feel like there’s a pattern of powerful men getting away with awful behavior towards women at Google‚ or if they don’t get away with it, they get a slap on the wrist, or they get sent away with a golden parachute, like Andy Rubin. And it’s a leadership of mostly men making the decisions about what kind of consequences to give, or not give.” Organizers of the protest have already started presenting petitions and demanding stricter employee oversights to management. Some workers even left their positions at the company as way to protest. Rubin hasn’t spoken out about the walkout — but he still denies allegations of sexual misconduct. SMH.

The Road To Sweet, Swirly Matrimony-dom: Zoe Kravitz Reveals She’s Engaged To Actor Karl Glusman

Photo by Kevin Tachman/Getty Images Zoe Kravitz Confirms Her Engagement To Boyfriend Karl Glusman Zoe Kravitz is engaged–and has been for a while now, but she just revealed the good news for the world to hear. This past Sunday, the 29-year-old actress revealed in her cover-story interview with  Rolling Stone  that she has been engaged since February to her boyfriend of over a year, actor Karl Glusman. Within the interview, the star decided to casually mention the big news: “Oh, yeah, I’m engaged.” At first, the reporter who was interviewing her at first thought that Kravtiz was just joking around, which prompted her to say it again. “No, I’m engaged!” she exclaimed. “I haven’t told anyone yet,” continued the  Big Little Lies  actress, “I mean, I haven’t told the world. I wanted to keep it private.” Besides the interview revealing some huge news, Kravitz graces the cover of  Rolling Stone , where she beautifully imitated the famous 1988 cover of her mother, Lisa Bonet, which featured the former  Cosby Show  star nude–with only her hair covering her breasts. Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman met back in 2016 through some mutual friends. Just a few months later they decided to move in together, and from the looks of it, that decision seems to be working out quite well for them. Congrats to the happy couple!

Clean Up, Aisle 5: Nicki Minaj Says Rah Ali Beat The Brakes Off Cardi B, Offers $100,000 For Video Footage

Image via Steven Ferdman/WireImage/Jacopo Raule/Getty Images/Image via Steven Ferdman/WireImage/Jacopo Raule/Getty Images Nicki Minaj On Queen Radio Addresses Cardi B Fight And Leaked Phone Number Queen Radio is off and running and despite Nicki’s purported desire for her Queen Radio show to be positive and not messy, she immediately launched into all things negative and messy. Onika was the subject of further rumors yesterday as Cardi B’s sister Hennessy accused her of leaking Cardi’s personal phone number and had Barbz sending death threats. Nicki denied doing anything of the sort: “Leaking numbers? What kind of bird shit you talking about bitch?” Nicki claims she was at a photo shoot and didn’t know anything about Cardi’s number being leaked until someone called her and told her. When the topic turned to the infamous shoe-throwing Harper’s Bazaar party, Nicki let it spill that it was NOT security that knotted Belcalis’ Dominican dome piece, it was Rah Ali’s flying fists of fury: “For people who don’t know, Rah Ali beat Cardi’s a$$ really bad. You went home and told people that security hit you. We told Rah not to say anything for legal reasons.” Nicki says that the beating was so bad that she was actually angry at Rah for going so hard on Cardi. When the story that security hit Cardi, Nicki says they let the rumor go out of fear that any criminal charges or lawsuits would be attributed to herself, not Rah. There is allegedly video footage of this version of Nicki’s story and she went so far as to offer $100,000 to the person who leaks the footage. Sounds kinda like Trump asking Russia to get Hillary’s emails. Again, this is Nicki’s side of the story so take all this with several grains of salt. THIS IS KNOT A DRILL!

The vibe was gentle and fun, sorta like Bublé ‘s music then, things took an emotional turn. The two have a conversation about the devastation of Buble’s 5-year-old son’s cancer diagnosis towards the end of the ride.

We thank God for the strength he has given all of us.” We’re glad the little boy is doing better, but clearly the pain cancer caused is still in his daddy’s heart. Hit play to watch him break down retelling the story of how his son’s cancer scare changed his life.

State Of The Misogyny: Joe Budden’s FURY Vs. Scottie Beam’s Feminist Stance Has Twitter Arguing Into The Ashy Abyss

(Photos by Johnny Nunez/WireImage) Joe Budden Got SUPER Mad At Scottie Beam For Not Hating Another Woman? Is this where “the culture” is??? Joe Budden has rehashed the gender war of Twitter because he can’t get jiggy with feminism. The decamped rapper and his colleagues were discussing Brittany Renner on their web show, and things turned all the way left after his cohost Scottie Beam stated that she didn’t “hate” Renner over her tell-all book . In fact, Beam sounded indifferent over Brittany Renner’s tell-all book because people have been doing it for YEARS on pages and in music. Like recently, Quavo detailed sex with Nicki Minaj and no one even FLINCHED. But Joe Budden seemingly wanted Beam to degrade Renner on camera and when she didn’t, he blew hookah smoke all the way down her throat! Here’s the clip for “State of The Culture”, where Joe called Scottie a man-hater for not “hating” another woman. Is he for real? Just gonna leave this here and go. pic.twitter.com/gCicbB8SZK — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) October 28, 2018 Of course, Joe’s stance drummed up all of the woman-hating fans that hang off his balls. Like Freddie Gibbs , who blindly agreed with him. Then, Gibbs swore at another woman who called the cyber chest-bumping sexist… I’m sick of it lol — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) October 28, 2018 Freddie tells the lady to “shut the f*ck up”. Sounds like a nice guy, right? Dozens of comments like this from other men appear in the thread, SMH. With all due respect my dear shut the fuck up. I been fuckin with this nigga Joe since he was a rapper, lol. My love for him has nothing to do with this post. — Freddie Gibbs (@FreddieGibbs) October 28, 2018 But a few folks were up in arms for Scottie Beam, who couldn’t even get a word out at her own job. Hit the flip to see how folks are reacting to this “fake feminist” argument brought forth by “the culture”. It gets nasty!

SMFH: Kanye Designs Sunken Shirts For Candace Owens’ ‘Blexit’ Campaign

Picture by: SplashNews.com Yup, still sunken… Kanye Designs Blexit T-Shirts Encouraging Black Exit From Democratic Party  Kanye West is once again proving that he doesn’t care about black people. The Trump chump has once again aligned himself with Candace Owens , this time for her “Blexit” campaign, Owens announced this weekend at the Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. According to Owens, the t-shirts supporting the campaign were designed by her “fellow superhero” Kanye and are encouraging black voters to exit from the Democratic party. “The shirts endorsing “Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” said Owens according to Page Six. “[West] has taken one of the boldest steps in America to open a conversation we have needed to have.” The shirts include the terms “Blexit” and “We Free.” (Are they f****g serious?!) Seven-stranded Candace has since further explained Blexit in an op-ed on Breitbart where she slams the media for “betraying our focus” and encourages black voters to consider her movement. “For decades, the black community has been in an emotionally abusive relationship with the Democrat Party. Our fidelity to leftist politicians coupled with our false belief that a larger government might facilitate solutions, has led to the overall collapse of our families, neighborhoods, and incidentally, our futures. BLEXIT is a national movement of minorities that have awakened to the truth. It is for those who have taken an objective look at our decades-long allegiance to the left and asked ourselves “what do we have to show for it?” Sure thing, sis! You can see the Blexit shirts in the below video. What do YOU think about Koonye  Kanye designing Blexit shirts??? #BLEXIT – The BLACK EXIT from the Democratic Party. @RealCandaceO has been working on this for awhile and we’re launching it HERE at #YBLS2018 Retweet if you’re with us and think it’s time for Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party FOR GOOD! pic.twitter.com/jWQdmO9LKT — Rob Smith (@robsmithonline) October 27, 2018
