Future’s Baby Mama Put On Blast For Having Sex With Atlanta Music Executive Instagram might as well be Jerry Springer or Maury Povich these days. It’s the preferred venue of exposition for angry birds and emo negroes alike. In today’s episode of “Instagram Mad”, we have Future’s baby mama, Brittni Mealy, a ex-stripper who became enraged after hearing that a man she had been “dealing with” was telling the town that he chopped down her Freeband cakes for 56 nights. The cake-chopper in question? An Atlanta record label exec named Pierre “Pee” Thomas who works with the likes of OG Maco and The Migos. Last night, Brit posted the following photo and caption for all to see… She seems very resolute in the fact that she never gave Pee even a whiff of her box. However, Pee got some receipts!

There’s An App For That: CEO Of “Peeple” Defends “Yelp For Humans” From Backlash Over Inevitable Cyber Bullying [Video]

Peeple CEO Defends App That Allows Reviews Of People This sounds like “Don’t Date Him Girl” all over again… According to Fox 4 Kansas City reports: Peep, slated to launch in November, lets mobile users rate the people they know personally, professionally and romantically, according to WPIX. According to the app’s founders Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough, the app was created to “find the good” in people and not as a cyber bullying tool. The women documented the development of the app in a YouTube series. “I think this app does really help find the best in each of us but it would be pointless if it was all positive,” Cordray said in the online documentary. In order to write a review about someone on Peeple, you need a Facebook profile to link to. People can only review profiles they actually know. A review made by someone the user doesn’t know can be reported as abuse. The review and the user’s profile would be deleted. Reviews are based on a 5-star rating. Negative reviews, a rating of two stars or less, are not immediately published. The reviewer and reviewee get 48 hours to hash it out. If they can’t come to an understanding, the negative review gets published. The reviewee than gets the opportunity to defend themselves on the app. “It’s like Tinder, Facebook, Linkedin and Yelp all in one app,” Cordray described. Critics slammed Peeple, calling it “irresponsible “and “the third circle of hell.” The response was so aggressive, the company’s CEO attempted to shut off the comments section of their Facebook page — an attempt that was met with irony. One critic tweeted, “founder of #peeple, an app designed to collect unsolicited feedback doesn’t appear to like unsolicited feedback.” This definitely sounds like something that could go all the way wrong. Humans by nature are sensitive and it’s way too easy to rub someone the wrong way. Seems like this would be a tool people with petty gripes would really embrace. In a statement to WPIX, Peeple CEO Julia Cordray responded to the backlash: “With any new concept there is naturally fear. When the people found out that the earth was round instead of flat and that we revolved around the sun instead of the sun revolving around us naturally people were upset and confused and they pushed back with all that they had,” she said. “Bringing a new idea to market when people don’t believe that the world is genuinely a good place filled with amazing people there will be push back and fear. We look forward to proving that the people in this world are genuinely good and positive and they will uplift you on our app with over 80 percent positivity.” Do you think this app should be shut down before it even launches? Will it really be over 80 percent positive? WPIX

Jesus Took The Wheel: 103-Year-Old Woman Banned From Her Home Church Of 92 Years Allowed To Return

103-Year-Old Woman Banned From Her Home Church Gets To Return A sickly 103-year-old woman was confronted by police after being banned from her church due to a disagreement over the pastor’s practices. Union Grove Baptist Church of Elberton, GA issued a letter to Genora Hamm Biggs, a 92-year member of the church, stating that she was displaying conduct ‘detrimental’ to other members. She felt that some of the Pastor’s practices were changing the denomination of the church…and thus was put out. Looks like Jesus has taken the wheel because the elderly woman has been allowed to return to her home church after the ain’t isht pastor stepped down. According to The Root reports: Rev. Tim Mattox, who has been pastor of the church for six years said that following news of Biggs’ explusion, he had received death threats. On Wednesday, it was announced that Mattox was leaving along with other members of the congregation to form a new church, at which Biggs would not be welcome. As for Biggs, she’ll be returning to her church home and has even been handed the key to the church, now responsible, along with a few other members, for electing the new pastor, her attorney Ken Dious told Fox News. “She’s elated,” Dios said. “This is the only church she’s ever known. It was her grandfather who started that church.” Thank the lawd!!!

For Discussion: Would You Let Your 6-Year-Old Get Plastic Surgery If They Were Being Bullied? [Video]

Parents Pay For 6-Year-Old’s Plastic Surgery, Has Ears Pinned Due To Bullying Is this a warped world we are living in or nah? We couldn’t help but find it a bit extra that these parents paid to have their 6-year-old son’s ears pinned because he was teased over them. Inside Edition: First-grader Gage Berger often dreaded going to school because of the mean things other kids said about his ears. Berger told INSIDE EDITION what the children say: “That I look like an elf and I have weird ears.” “I just don’t want to be made fun of,” he said. His parents, Tim and Kallie, also have heard the taunts. Sometimes when their son looked in the mirror, he tried to push back his ears, just to see what he’d look like. His parents feared the bullying could permanently damage his self-esteem, so they went to facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Mobley, in Salt Lake City. The doctor performed ear surgery on Gage. The doctor used a wooden block-like toy to explain how he’d reshape Gage’s ears. “You don’t have that nice little inner tubular part, so we’re going to recreate that,” the doctor told Gage, showing him the model. Sweet kid, but do you think his parents are setting him up for the fail with their extreme approach to the problem? Seems like some folks are just using plastic surgery as a quick fix without really weighing the physical and emotional toll it can take. What do you think? Would you do the same for your kid if you had the means? Inside Edition
