Buffalo Wild Wings Employees Fired Two employees who participated in the racist moving of black patrons at a Buffalo Wild Wings have been fired. As previously reported a Naperville, Illinois Buffalo Wild Wings made national headlines after a group of patrons decided to leave after being asked to move tables because a regular customer “didn’t want blacks sitting nearby.” During the rancidly racist incident the host at the restaurant who was described as a young black man — asked, “What race are you?” to the group before noting that one of the restaurant’s regular customers seated nearby “doesn’t want black people sitting near him.” When the party refused to move to accommodate the bigoted chicken wing chomper, a phony “reservation” excuse was used by a manager to try to prompt the party to switch seats. That incident has left those two employees without jobs. The Naperville Sun reports that Buffalo Wild Wings spokesperson Clarie Kudlata in an email late Sunday said the company conducted a thorough, internal investigation and “terminated the employees involved.” She said a service manager and shift manager were fired. “Buffalo Wild Wings values an inclusive environment and has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind,” Kudlata said. Reportedly several employees quit as well in connection with the incident. You never win when you play dirty, BWW better hope the family doesn’t decide to sue for discrimination.
Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kandi Reveals Her Surrogate Miscarried One Of Her Babies During the RHOA premiere , Kandi revealed some sad news. As previously reported the housewife and Todd Tucker are expecting a baby girl via surrogate. According to Kandi herself, however, the surrogate she and husband Todd are using was initially pregnant with twins, but one of the embryos was lost. “We actually was supposed to be having twins, and then one of them didn’t continue,” Burruss explained, adding, “I was sad at first, but then I just had to be grateful that the one made it.” Sad news, the twin would’ve made Kandi a mother of five. Kandi and Todd already share 3-year-old son Ace, and Kandi is mom to 16-year-old daughter Riley and stepmom to Todd’s daughter Kaela, 22, from past relationships. Kandi also shared that it’s a bit strange to not go through the pregnancy milestones that her surrogate Shadina is experiencing. “I just feel like this whole situation is strange,” she confessed. “I don’t get to be excited about the first kick. I don’t get to be excited about, ‘Oh now my baby bump is showing.’ I don’t get to be excited even about my boobs filling up with milk.” During the show, Kandi’s son Ace seemed befuddled by the surrogate pregnancy and asked his parents if the woman “picked up his little sister from the store.” View this post on Instagram Pizza Friday’s in my (@kingjames Voice) just me and my best friend!

Source: LIONEL BONAVENTURE / Getty Airbnb Says It’s Banning ‘Party Houses’ From The Platform Airbnb has announced that it will now ban “party houses” from its platform in response to a deadly shooting at a Halloween party in the Bay Area , which was held at one of the company’s rentals. Brian Chesky, the company’s CEO, announced on Saturday that Airbnb is “redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties,” which includes expanded manual screening for reservations that are deemed “high-risk.” Starting today, we are banning “party houses” and we are redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct, including conduct that leads to the terrible events we saw in Orinda. Here is what we are doing: — Brian Chesky (@bchesky) November 2, 2019 An Airbnb spokesman didn’t offer many details on how these aforementioned efforts would be implemented–or what might flag a rental as a party house–saying that the company has initiated a 10-day review to develop new policies. Ben Breit told The LA Times that the rental listing where the shooting occurred had rules that barred parties, also adding that the listing and the person who rented it have both been removed from the site. According to police , over 100 people from surrounding areas visited the home in the East Bay suburb of Orinda on Thursday night. The gathering was heavily advertised on social media and officers ended up responding to a noise complaint at the residence, but when they arrived, they found a “highly chaotic scene” with multiple gunshot victims. The Times also reports that Airbnb has reached an agreement with the city of Los Angeles to create a system that will streamline enforcement of the city’s new regulations on their site. Under the system–which has yet to be created–new hosts won’t be able to publish listings without final approval from the city. On top of that, existing listings without the city’s required registration number will be removed.
Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Alexis Ohanian Is Committed To Fighting For Family Leave After Alexis Ohanian started a paid parental leave policy for his employees at Reddit , he didn’t think he would become one of the most prominent paternal leave advocates in the United States. Since taking four months off from work after his daughter with Serena Williams was born back in 2017, Ohanian has become an unexpected leader in the fight for paid paternal leave. “We implemented a policy that I didn’t think I was going to be using anytime soon, but a few years later I found myself using and talking about [it] publicly.” The Reddit co-founder said in an interview with Business Insider . “Before I went on leave, I planned to use my entire four months and was casually asked about it on CNBC. I didn’t think anything of it other than, ‘Oh, here’s this great policy, and I should use it.’” Now, not only is Ohanian advocating for his beliefs on social media, but he’s taking the fight all the way to Congress. In October, Alexis ended up spending an entire week on Capitol Hill lobbying business leaders and lawmakers for a national family leave policy. “Because Olympia’s birth was such a complicated one and I watched everything that my wife went through and persevered through … I realized that we had so many advantages and yet this was still such a traumatic experience,” Ohanian recalled. “I couldn’t imagine anyone being put in [that situation] without the peace of mind knowing that they had paid leave.” Since the birth of his daughter, Alexis has been using his social platforms to celebrate fatherhood and the way it has transformed his outlook on life. He has become a serious advocate for paid paternity leave, recently partnering with Dove Men+Care to promote The Pledge for Paternity Leave: a program offering grants to working dads to help them care for their newborns full-time. Last month, Ohanian spent a week away from his venture capital firm to meet with Congressional leaders and discuss legislation for federally mandated paid leave. He believes a federal mandate for paid family leave is the best way to ensure all workers–especially those in low wage jobs and with disabilities–can take time off to be with their families. Fathers getting time off to spend with their little ones is so important, good on Alexis for fighting the good fight!
Source: Bambu Productions / Getty Anti-Vax Mom Hands Out Chickenpox Lollipops For Halloween A mother who is a strong advocate for anti-vaccination took to social media this week to let everyone know about her decision to give out tainted lollipops this Halloween . The Australian woman–who identifies herself online as Sarah Walker RN–posted in the private Facebook group “Stop Mandatory Vaccination,” saying that her son contracted chickenpox and she planned to “help” other children by spreading the virus through candy. “So my beautiful son [redacted] has the chickenpox at the moment and we’ve both decided to help others with natural immunity this Halloween!” she wrote. “We have the packaging open and closing down pat and can’t wait to help others in our community.” What….the f***? Walker’s message ended up making it out of the anti-vax community and a screenshot and shared on Light for Riley , a page dedicated to protecting “babies & families from vaccine-preventable diseases” in honor of Riley Hughes, a baby boy who died from whooping cough. Though the mother claims to be a registered nurse at the “Royal Children’s Hospital, Brisbane” on her Facebook page, Queensland Health confirmed that she was never employed at any of its medical facilities. After getting negative responses to her chickenpox plan, Walker took to Facebook once again to double down on her plan, despite backlash online. “Dear internet trolls,” she wrote. “You think you’re right by judging me and my trying to report me and get me fired. I don’t care. The health and wellbeing of my baby is far more valuable than any job…You say I’m vile and gross like I have done something that hundreds of thousands of parents haven’t already done. How many times do you see children dropped off to day care or school when they’re clearly sick and contagious? Exactly!” She continued, “I’m offering life long immunity for the price of a couple of blisters and a few days off school.” Luckily, whether or not Walker actually went ahead with her weird scheme, Queensland Health told News.com.au that the risk of chickenpox transmission from such lollipops would be extremely low, since the virus does not survive long on surfaces. But, if she were to be found guilty of food tampering, or making false claims to do so, she could be facing serious prison time.

Nicki Minaj had yet another episode of “Queen Radio” this week and she SLAMMED Wendy Williams on the show over comments Wendy made about Kenneth Petty. As previously reported Wendy snarkily said that Nicki married a killer” and a “sex offender” while offering her congratulations on her recent nuptials. Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender in New York and reportedly was convicted of attempted rape in 1995. He also served seven years for manslaughter after pleading guilty to the shooting death of a man in 2002. According to Nicki, Wendy’s comments crossed the line and she ethered the host as “demonic” and vicious” on Queen Radio. “It’s not about doing your job,” said an angry Onika. “There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated.” “I didn’t know that in our society, you have to be plagued by your past. I didn’t know that people can’t turn over a new leaf. I didn’t know that your viciousness and evilness was this deep-rooted.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj) on Nov 1, 2019 at 2:29pm PDT That’s not all, Nicki also brought up Wendy’s nasty Kevin Hunter split and noted that his baby news with Sharina Hudson. According to Nicki, Wendy herself paid for the baby to be delivered considering that Kevin paid for his alleged mistress’ lifestyle with Wendy’s money. “When a woman isn’t really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type,” Nicki said. “So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. Look at what age you are. You’re sat up there being vicious all this time, and paid for that man’s mistress all these years. You paid for her shopping sprees, you paid for her hotels, you probably even paid for her GYN bills, you paid to have that baby delivered, hoe.” “How you doin’, stupid?!” Nicki’s Queen Radio episode also included Nicki calling Wendy “demonic” and telling her to ask for “forgiveness.” “I know we’re human first, we’re human before we’re celebrities, we’re human before we’re personas. And I know you must have gone through a lot. But you are demonic, and that’s why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news—people do it all the time—without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense.” Later gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard stopped by to pray over Nicki’s Barbz.
