RHOA: Kandi Says THIS Person’s Causing NeNe’s ‘Coworker’ Criticism Of Cynthia Bailey

Source: Alex Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank for Getty Images Kandi Responds To NeNe’s Criticism Of Cynthia Bailey Kandi is speaking candidly on that super petty beef between NeNe Leakes and her “ex-friend” Cynthia Bailey. As previously reported NeNe unfollowed most of the RHOA cast and called out Cynthia Bailey for being “sneaky and underhanded.” According to NeNe she’s convinced that Cynthia’s just “her coworker” after something went down ar the RHOA Reunion.  Now Kandi, who NeNe also unfollowed is telling  TooFab that NeNe’s temper tantrum is focused around none other than Kenya Moore. Several have suspected that NeNe took Kenya’s invite to a party Cynthia threw as a dig and Kandi says that’s absolutely correct, albeit a silly reason. Kandi and Cynthia fans thought fans “deserved to see” Kenya’s pregnancy. “From what I can tell, she’s upset because we had invited Kenya [Moore] to Cynthia [Bailey]’s party, and Cynthia didn’t give her a heads up,” Kandi said. “She felt like that was an attack against her, which it wasn’t.” “Overall, it’s just like, Kenya’s our friend,” Kandi said. “I feel like Kenya should’ve been at the party. Not only that, I definitely felt like our fans should see Kenya — happy, pregnant. How can we miss her whole pregnancy and not see her once? And that has nothing to do with NeNe, so I don’t understand why she took it so personally. Cynthia didn’t tell her that Kenya was coming, but at the end of the day, I’m looking at how crazy NeNe’s acting about this, and I’m like, ‘Okay, well, it’s clear why Cynthia didn’t tell you because you flip out and get all offended and mad for no damn reason.’” SMH, oh NeNe. All this huffing and puffing over Kenya Moore? View this post on Instagram I got @thekenyamoore out to celebrate our girl @cynthiabailey10’s new Event Space & Wine shop. Both of these ladies have a lot to celebrate! A post shared by Kandi Burruss (@kandi) on Oct 26, 2018 at 9:57am PDT Kandi had some more things to get off her chest including some thoughts on NeNe’s buddy/Kandi’s ex-bestie Phaedra Parks.

Black Girl Magic: Meet The Beauty Brand That’s Building Wells In Africa

Source: Courtesy of Psyche Terry/Urban Hydration / Courtesy of Psyche Terry and Urban Hydration Psyche Terry, CEO Of Urban Hydration Is Giving Back In A Big Way A burgeoning black beauty brand is putting its money where its mouth is – using some of its revenue to help provide access to clean drinking water in Africa. Psyche Terry founded Urban Hydration with her husband, Vontoba, after suffering from skin ailments for years. The result is a line of plant-based skin and hair care products, like an aloe vera gel mask and coconut oil shampoo and conditioner – that is in some 9,000 stores nationwide. “We’ve been very intentional with our ingredients,” Terry said. “if you’re struggling with any disease, you can feel safe using it or with your children or on a pet.” Source: Courtesy of Psyche Terry/Urban Hydration / Courtesy of Psyche Terry and Urban Hydration But Terry said Urban Hydration’s goal is not just to create beautiful hair and skin, but to also give back to people in need. Last year, the company donated 16 percent of its revenues to charity, Terry said. In 2017, the company partnered with nonprofit WATERisLIFE, and a portion of the proceeds from every product sold provides a gallon of water to families in need. The company has financed two wells in Kenya and is now helping to build a third in the Congo. Urban Hydration also awards a college scholarship annually and supports a school for the blind. “We have a heart for serving, and we’ll see where that takes us,” Terry said. “We just want to work as hard as we can so that more people can see that it doesn’t really matter where you come from or how much you have, you can give back. it’s our hope to grow that message.”

Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Nick Young Reveals That He’s Got Another Baby On The Way On Monday night, former Warriors player Nick Young announced that he’s expecting his third child with his longtime girlfriend Keonna Green. “Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol,” the baller tweeted out. Young has indeed had more time to spend with his family recently after the Denver Nuggets waived the point guard after just four games back in December. Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol — Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) March 19, 2019 Nick and Keonna have been in an on-and-off relationship since their high school days and already have two children together, six-month-old Navi Young and Nick Young Jr, who just turned seven. Keonna talked about her relationship with Nick in an interview with Essence , saying, “Me and Nick have lots of history. We’ve been in and out of each other’s lives and we’ve dated other people, we have still always managed to keep in touch. It’s something that no one will be able to understand. We don’t even really understand. We’re just like, ‘You know what, we have these kids. You know, we are friends.’ We share each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. We talk a lot. We have that type of friendship.” The announcement of baby number three came as a surprise to many fans, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the plans all along. The couple revealed earlier in the month that they wanted another child when their family attended the premier of Captain Marvel and Nick said he wanted “one more.” Congrats to the happy family on their new addition!

Kardashian Crushing Calabasas Cutie Jordyn Woods Is Getting Gwapped Up Inking Deals Internationally

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Jordyn Woods Making Big Business Moves In London And Dubai We love us some Jordyn Woods — and it appears that none of her drama with Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian is stopping the checks from coming in for her. After captivating hearts in America with her Red Table Talk interview , Jordyn is now looking to capitalize on her work in the cosmetics and fashion space and is headed to London to sign several new deals! Sources involved with the deals tell The Blast that Woods will leave for London with momager Elizabeth Woods at the end of the month to sign “several new deals.” According to the Blast reports, one of the biggest deals involves a new line for Woods’ eyelash brand. She’s also fielding calls from a gang of companies looking to align with her — and the man behind many of these new opportunities is none other than marketing guru Sheeraz Hasan, whose brokered deals between Hollywood and the Middle East for big names like J.Lo, Kim K and Paris Hilton in the past. Jordyn’s passport is set to get several new stamps as Hasan has arranged travel for her in Dubai (where she’ll make numerous appearances) and other Middle Eastern locales following her trip to London. Word is, she’s looking to lock up some “huge financial deals.” She’s also set to skydive while visiting The Emirates. Jordyn posted a video of Hasan and her mom last week where the Dubai trip was mentioned. We’re so glad business is booming for baby girl and couldn’t be happier to see her getting to the bag. Hit the flip for the latest from Jordyn’s social media.

Kick Rocks: Warner Bros. Chairman/CEO Kevin Tsujihara Resigns After Claims He Offered Actress Roles For Sex

Source: Jean Baptiste Lacroix / Getty Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara Resigns Over Sexual Misconduct Married-a$$ Kevin Tsujihara is the latest Hollyweird powerbroker to be outed for sexual misconduct with women. According to DailyMail , Tsjihara is accused of offering actress Charlotte Kirk roles in movies in exchange for sex. Kirk admits that she and Tsujihara had a romantic affair that began in 2014 after a night of drinks. Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty As of today, Tsjihara is no longer the chairman/CEO of Warner Bros. Studios. ‘It is in the best interest of WarnerMedia, Warner Bros., our employees and our partners for Kevin to step down as Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros.,’ said WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey on Monday. ‘Kevin has contributed greatly to the studio’s success over the past 25 years and for that we thank him. Kevin acknowledges that his mistakes are inconsistent with the company’s leadership expectations and could impact the company’s ability to execute going forward.’ The Hollywood Reporter broke the story early this year that revealed that the two exchanged texts where Tsjihara agreed to help Kirk with her career if she broke him off some sex every now and then. In 2016 she appeared in How To Be Single, and in 2018 Kirk landed a role in Oceans 8. Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty Kirk maintains that it was not forced into anything and that the relationship was not . “casting couch sex” but simply sex with a powerful man who she liked and hoped would point her in the right directions. ‘Hollywood pivots on helpful friends. You can talk to someone differently after you have been intimate with them. There is a connection,’ said Kirk. ‘You don’t say, “Get me a role,” but you expect openness and honesty when you have been lovers and you expect them to be there for you as a friend. In my case, that meant him potentially directing me towards auditions, helping me get into the room.’ She goes on to say… ‘Whatever work I got from an audition would be on my own professional acting ability and merit,’ declared the actress. In 1994 Kevin Tsujihara became the first Asian person to head a major studio. In 2019, he walks away disgraced.
