Afro-Latina News Reporter Gets Complaint Calls From Salty Saltines Over Her “N*ggery-Looking” Natural Hair

Corallys Ortiz Told To Straighten Her ‘N*ggery-Looking’ Hair For The News Another day, another disgruntled MAGA-loving mayo packet getting all out of line and ahead of themselves. You may recall last year when Las Vegas weather reporter Demetira Obilor ‘s thick curves and natural curls had box-shaped, un-melanated watchers shook and calling to complain. Now, West Tennessee reporter Corallys Ortiz is catching some similar hater heat over her copious curls and kinks . The Afro-Latina reporter, of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent, has been giving her flat iron a rest an rocking her natural hair in the Tennessee humidity for the past few days. But some of her viewers just can’t handle seeing something so offensively African on their screens when they just want to tune into the evening news and peacefully hear about their president’s latest moves. Corallys took to her Facebook page to share a video of the recorded message she received about her hairstyle, where a caller complained about her “n*ggery-looking” hair and suggested she straighten it ASAP. SMH. Thankfully, since she came forward with that racial verbal abuse by viewers she’s gotten an outpouring of support from fans. SMH. Are you shocked that Black newscasters are still getting these types of complaints on their appearance? Getty/Instagram/Facebook

Macduff Everton/ Getty Images Virginia Man Caught Rubbing Produce On His Bare Behind This has to be one of the most disgusting stories we’ve come across in awhile. Police in Manassas, VA were called to the local Giant supermarket after employees noticed a man, later identified as Michael Dwayne Johnson pulling his pants down in the store. He was arrested after allegedly rubbing supermarket produce on his butt and then putting the goods back on display. We know you want to know what he looks like sooo… Here’s the mugshot: Manassas City Police Department / SplashNews.com Johnson, 27, faces charges of indecent exposure and destruction of property. Police say the supermarket had to destroy several pallets of food after the incident. A police spokesman says the official report lists fruit as the ruined produce. Meanwhile authorities haven’t figured out a motive for Johnson’s alleged actions. Just GROSS… What do you think you would do if you ran into this guy rubbing fruit on his booty?

Brooklyn Catholic Church Reaches Historic $27.5 Million Settlement With 4 Sexually Abused Boys

Image via DOCC Diocese Of Brooklyn Settles $27.5 Million Sexual Assault Lawsuit Wow. This is certainly a shock . According to the NYDailyNews , there has been historic lawsuit settlement between the Catholic church and 4 boys who claimed they were sexually abused by their teacher at the Diocese of Brooklyn. This settlement is reportedly the largest that has ever arisen as a result of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. Angelo Serrano worked at St. Lucy-St. Patrick Catholic church from 2003 to 2009 and plead guilty to a inappropriate sexual conduct with a child and was sentenced to 15 years. To make matters worse, the judge also found that two preists, Rev. Frank Shannon and the Rev. Stephen Lynch, had awareness of Serrano’s behavior and did absolutely nothing about it. “Lynch and Shannon had knowledge that for years Serrano often had several boys … sleep over at his apartment,” Justice Loren Baily-Schiffman wrote… Lynch also testified that he saw Serrano kiss an 8- or 9-year-old boy on the lips and “inappropriately embrace” him, according to Saghir. This is likely just the tip of the sexual abuse iceberg for the Catholic church. There has been FAR too much smoke over the years for there to be NO fire. Hopefully this starts a trend where the church is held responsible for whatever part they may have played in allowing this sick s#!t to happen.

According to CNN , Chen will announce today that she is leaving The Talk to focus on clearing the “good name” of her husband Les Moonves. The former CBS CEO has been ousted after allegations of sexual misconduct arose from at least 12 different women. pic.twitter.com/cW1vUhCIs0 — Julie Chen (@JulieChen) July 27, 2018 Moonves believes these allegations are part of some elaborate scheme to bring him down as they are “not consistent” with who he is. It was pretty obvious that Chen could not return to The Talk being that discussions of the #MeToo movement would be regular topics and Julie has been VERY outspoken against men who have been accused of exactly what her husband is accused of.

WTF? Kids Panic At Chuck E. Cheese After Dummy With A Gun Shoots Himself

NurPhoto/Getty Chuck E. Cheese Patron Accidentally Shoots Himself We’re used to hearing about fist fights at Chuck E. Cheese, but the supposedly family friendly franchise—”where a kid can be a kid,” eat pizza, and play games—took child endangerment to new levels over the weekend. If the occasional beat down wasn’t enough to make you think twice about taking your chil’ren to the establishment, this latest story will definitely do it. A 22-year-old Tacoma, Washington patron needed to be hospitalized after he accidentally shot himself in the leg while inside the restaurant, causing both children and adults to panic, NY Post reports. Why he had a gun at Chuck E. Cheese of all places? No one knows. One father who was at the restaurant for a birthday party when the shot rang off said, “A bunch of people started running down towards the end and then they said somebody has a gun, so everybody starts running.” The restaurant was evacuated after the shot was fired and no other patrons suffered injuries, according to the site. As for the the young man who hurt himself, NY Post states: “The 22-year-old man was rushed to the hospital following the incident. He is expected to make a full recovery. Police added that the man brought his concealed-carry firearm into the restaurant legally, KOMO reported, but parents expressed outrage he took his gun inside the establishment in the first place, as it caters largely to children. A representative for Chuck E. Cheese was not immediately available for comment.” Hopefully, Chuck E. Cheese has a plan to increase security and ensure weapons are never brought onto the premises. It’s great that no one’s child was hurt, but the kids shouldn’t have been exposed to the firearm in the first place. Click here for more first-hand accounts of what happened and chime in with your thoughts.
