In a perplexing interview, Lindsay Lohan slammed the #MeToo movement … and said that coming forward with allegations of sexual abuse makes the accusers “look weak.” “I think by women speaking against all these things, it makes them look weak,” Lindsay said. “When they are very strong women.” As if that weren't bad enough, she then went on to imply that maybe some of the young women shared harrowing stories of sexual harassment, abuse, and even rape were just in it for, you guessed it, “attention.” While that has been debunked time and time again, a lot of people were outraged and horrified. We can only guess that they had forgotten that Lindsay had supported Harvey Weinstein, of all people, and encouraged his wife to stand by him. Aisha Tyler, like so many others, took to social media to slam Lindsay. When Aisha announced that Lindsay is canceled , it prompted a lot of discussion. Take a look: 1. Aisha Tyler said what many were thinking Aisha received a lot of thoughtful responses. And also a lot of less thoughtful replies. 2. A classic internet burn This is obviously a joke, poking fun at the fact that Lindsay hasn’t really been culturally relevant for about a decade. 3. Survivors spoke up This tweet is absolutely right — speaking up takes a tremendous amount of strength. 4. Others chimed in with support Speaking truth to power is a brave act. 5. As the young people say: we been knew In other words, Lindsay Lohan was canceled a long time ago, in this person’s eyes. 6. Others were more sympathetic A lot of people believe that Lindsay Lohan was just saying in the interview what she tells herself about her own life. View Slideshow
Brace yourselves, 90 Day Fiance fans. We now know exactly what the stork is bringing Russ and Paola Mayfield. In a very sweet and revealing Instagram message, the veteran reality stars alerted fans to the gender of the baby growing inside of Paola. Are you ready to find out? Are you sure? Okay. Here we go… IT’S A BOY! We’ll let Paola explain in further detail, per her caption to the photos above and below: We are having a BOY!!!! I didn’t care if it was a boy or a girl, I just wanted a healthy baby and to be able to have it in my arms as soon as possible. Of course I’m always rooting for a girl but a boy is a blessing as well and I know my husband is really excited! This is an amazing experience now I can finally say I’m pregnant!!! I’m having a little boy. The Mayfields announced their first child was on the way back in late July. They did so via the following statement to Us Weekly: “This is the most amazing feeling ever! We can’t believe we are going to be parents – we are already so in love with our baby. “We are ready for this new adventure and we know it will bring us closer together. “God has blessed us again, and this time, we are going as strong as our baby’s heartbeat.” The couple also included the following image with this adorable confirmation: News that Paola and Russ are expecting was met with surprise and also joy by fans of 90 Day Fiance. We say surprise because there had been chatter as recently as a few weeks ago that the twosome’s marriage was on the rocks , as they seemingly could never settle the tension that existed over Paola so often posing near-nude. And we say joy because Paola suffered a miscarriage last year. This tragedy took a toll on the relationship in a variety of ways. But Russ has strongly defended his union every step of the way, telling off trolls on Instagram not long before this pregnancy news went viral. “Keep hating and commenting to better your dull lives because your opinions are meaningless in my eyes,” Russ said at this time, pulling nary a punch and concluding: “You’re only hurting yourself hiding behind your keyboard. Which proves nothing to you or me… “I am proud of where I come from,. And where I am going and that’s with the love of my life.” So there you have it. Well said. Congratulations on the impending little boy, Russ and Paola! View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days: Meet the New Couples!

If you speak down on J. Prince ‘s name, he’ll come and find you. Johnny Binder Jr, one of the more infamous street names in Houston history proclaimed he was the Big J in Houston to J. Prince’s “Lil J.” The self-proclaimed biggest dope dealer in Texas made plenty of statements on the Houston-based What They Talkin’ Bout podcast, prompting J. Prince to make one of his legendary courtesy calls. The Art & Science Of Respect author was a guest on the podcast and before there was ANY mention of his book, he broke down each of Binder’s claims one by one. RELATED: This Failed Prank Call Proves How Feared J. Prince Is RELATED: J Prince: “Don’t Let IG Become Your OG” [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] On Binder: “When I hear a man sitting his rotten ass on this leather, telling all these big bold lies about my name .. and the city? Yeah I gotta come and talk about that. I don’t want the city to be following no lie. We got too much going on and we aren’t them kind of people to allow bootleg con men and bootleg pimps to try and distort our history any kind of way.” “Never did me and him work in any capacity. This is a dude I saw a few times in the streets, I shook his hand. But as far as him calling me a friend? He don’t know where I live, he ain’t never been to my house. He don’t know none of my intimate friends so, this dude is a pathological liar. So when he make a statement like, “Rap-A-Lot wouldn’t have existed because of him” then, that’s a joke. A straight up joke. “I heard this man say he flew me and my friend California Kevin (Kevin Allen) to meet Kurtis Blow. And I spoke to Kevin about this lie and he told me, “This man ain’t never flown me no where in my life.” I became a millionaire in the streets before music. [Binder] wasn’t nowhere near that in the streets. That which he’s trying to portray, as the biggest dealer in Texas … is why all the sh*t that’s happened to him has happened. He was always this clown who liked to draw unnecessary attention to him. He’d get all these fancy charges drawn on him. I know his whole M.O. The dude was just a rock house seller. That limo he had? He slept in it. I had to get out of it cause of the odor.” The full interview is nuts but it’s J. Prince going back to Fifth Ward and telling stories about how Binder got out pimped by a lady in California, how he doesn’t know if he wants to be Baptist or Muslim and lying on Louis Farakkhan, wearing monkey sh*t jewelry and more.

N ashville police defended the white officer seen shooting a fleeing Black man in the back on a video released Wednesday (Aug. 8), as the Black community demanded justice. See Also: The Disturbing, Growing Trend of Police Fatally Shooting Suspects In The Back Without Consequence James Smallwood , president of the Nashville Fraternal Order of Police, argued Wednesday at a press conference that the video doesn’t “paint a complete image of what occurred that day,” the Tennessean reported. He underscored the police report that said Daniel Hambrick had a gun when Officer Andrew Delke shot him on July 26, adding that Delke made an “absolutely necessary and reasonable” snap decision. Meanwhile, after viewing the same video, community members met Wednesday night at the Jefferson Street Missionary Baptist Church and demanded an immediate shakeup of the police department. “I think [Police Chief Steve] Anderson needs to resign or the mayor needs to let him go,” the Rev. James Turner II said. Thankful for my squad. Got me through today without cursing out every politician in sight who voted against @OversightNow , ignored demands for Jocques, + the black preachers who continue to aide in this insanely traumatic cycle. #DanielHambrick https://t.co/3mZFKn2nrv — Gicola A. Lane (@GicolaLane) August 9, 2018 Delke approached the vehicle Hambrick was in, believing that it was the same car he saw earlier that day driving erratically, according to police investigators. Hambrick, 25, and two others fled from the officer. Surveillance video, released by the prosecutor, shows 25-year-old Delke chasing Hambrick. The officer opens fire on Hambrick, who does not appear to turn toward Delke. After firing multiple times, the officer circles the dying man while continuing to point his weapon at him. While the police alleged that Hambrick had a gun, the video does not appear to show him carrying a weapon. Hambrick’s family wants the officer charged. “The police officer fired four times, three of those bullets ripped Daniel apart. He fell to the ground, where he was cuffed and left, left there like a dog. Worse than a dog,” said Jo Kimbrough , attorney for the Hambrick’s family. “I’m a criminal defense attorney. If there is ever a case of premeditated first degree murder, this is it,” the lawyer continued.

Not all heroes wear capes. But some heroes, it seems, shop at Target. A surveillance video is making the rounds after it shows one seriously creepy dudes snapping upskirt photos of girls … and then paying the price. It was a father, out shopping with his daughter, who noticed what the man was up to and took action. Take a look: On Wednesday, August 1, 29-year-old Jorge A. Ibarra Jr. was arrested. The arrest was over “suspicion of invasion of privacy,” which seems like a major understatement after you watch this video and hear the story of what went down. See, surveillance photos appear to have captured him snapping “upskirt” photos of girls, some of whom were minors, at a Target store in Cypress, California. If you're not familiar, “upskirts” are what they sound like — a man takes pictures up a skirt, hoping for a glimpse at a girl's thighs and underwear and any potential glimpse of their butt or genitals that might come with it. Upskirting is gross, it's predatory, it's a nightmarish invasion of privacy, and, in this case, it will get you tackled in a Target store. Ismael Duarte is the hero of the hour. He was shopping with his 15-year-old daughter on Tuesday, July 1 while Ibarra was allegedly on the prowl. According to Duarte, he noticed that something was odd about Ibarra's behavior. It sounds like it didn't take long before he realized that the man was (allegedly) snapping upskirt photos of unsuspecting women, including his own daughter and another girl. Duarte leapt into action, chasing and tackling Ibarra, who fled the store. “My daughter, and the girl that actually was getting their picture taken without her being known,” Duarte says. “That’s what got me” The surveillance video appears to show Duarte kicking the man's phone away and then chasing the man, confronting him, and perhaps pushing him. The man, later identified as Ibarra (who looks 46 and not 29; we don't know what that's about), flees from Target. Duarte gave chase. Though Ibarra did get away, Duarte was able to snap a photo of the man in his car. Duarte provided his photo and a description of what happened to the police. Though he wishes that he had somehow been able to do more, Duarte says that he did not appreciate Target's security team's inaction during the confrontation. “All they did was stand behind,” Duarte laments. “And that's very disappointing.” Target released a statement, affirming that “the safety and security of our guests is very important to us and we have no tolerance for this behavior in our stores.” “Immediately upon learning of these recent incidents,” Target continues. “Our teams called police to investigate and shared video footage with them.” Target concludes: “We will continue to help law enforcement in any ways that we can be of support to their investigation.” Ibarra was arrested and booked at Orange County jail on $25,000 bail. It may be tempting for some individuals to dismiss upskirt photos as a hobby of perverts. But there are victims — the women involved. There are plenty of moral and legal rationales saying that a person has the right to record video of anything that they can see in a public place (though sharing that video is another matter), but upskirts are not part of public view. That's someone peeking inside someone else's clothing. In this case, it sounds like at least one of the alleged victims was a minor. Good for Duarte and the police for taking action.
We have an official follow-up on the tragic death of L.B. Bonner. As previously detailed to the best of our ability, the former 600-lb Life star was found dead last week in park in Lexington, South Carolina. Initial reports, however, made it unclear just how Bonner passed away, although all signs pointed to suicide and certain outlets said Bonner’s was discovered in a ditch. Thanks to the official coroner’s report, we can now confirm this very sad piece of news: L.B. Bonner died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head . It does still remain unclear, however, just what prompted someone inside Bonner’s home to call 911 because he or she was concerned about the former TLC star’s well-being. This is what led to an officer arriving on the scene and eventually finding Bonner’s corpse. Such a detail is unimportant at this point; there are just so many questions to ponder any time someone commits suicide. Prior to his death, Bonner shared a Facebook message in which he thanked everyone for their support and said he needed to “face his demons.” “I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support throughout my journey,” he wrote in this post, adding: “I’ve realized a few things over the last few days and its time that I face my demons head on.” He added, in what effectively served as a suicide note: No matter what you change or the efforts you put forth in life, sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and deal with things your own way. Again, thank y’all so much. Please don’t ever let people you care about not know how you feel… This post served as quite a troubling change from Bonner’s usual presence on Facebook. As evidenced by a message he penned mere days before he killed himself, Bonner often started each morning with an inspiring set of words. In 2013, Bonner lost his leg in a car crash and later turned to food and alcohol to cope with the loss. He weighed 650 pounds at the time he started filming My 600-lb Life. Over the course of his stint on the series, though, the 30-year-old got sober and underwent a lap-band surgery, which led to him losing over 400 pounds. He was considered by viewers and producers to be one of the program’s most impressive success stories. But it was clear, to anyone that paid close attention, that Bonner often struggled with his mental health. In June, he shared a photo of the late Robin Williams (who committed suicide) on Instagram with the saying: “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. ALWAYS.” Wrote Bonner as his caption: “This is so true, step out your comfort zone to be kind.” In the wake of his passing, TLC released a statement that read: James “LB” Bonner, who appeared on this past season of My 600-lb Life, has sadly passed away. On the show, viewers saw LB struggle with obesity following a tragic accident that claimed his right leg. Even though he once weighed 650 pounds, LB’s hard work and dedication helped get him in the 200-pound range. His spirit and determination as displayed through his story, quickly made LB a fan-favorite, and family & friends have taken to LB’s Facebook page to commemorate his life. TLC was deeply saddened to hear of LB’s passing and is honored to have shared his honest and courageous story on My 600-lb Life.

We were promised hookups, tears, and feuds in the Season 5 trailer for Bachelor in Paradise . And it looks like they’ve already begun to deliver. Colton’s long-awaited reunion with Tia Booth was a lot more complicated than either of them had imagined. And even though there’s now a gang of stars determined to take down Colton, this couple is only part of the drama. … First we have to talk about Tia Booth and Colton Underwood. Or, rather, about just Tia — because Colton wasn’t there yet. That’s right. Producers are messy b–ches who live for drama (literally, it’s their livelihood), so they brought Tia in before Colton arrived … and they gave her a date card. Don’t get us wrong, Tia totally had Colton on her mind. It had been months — she revealed that they hadn’t gotten to chat since The Bachelorette . But Tia’s no fool — she had the date card and, hey, Chris was right there. To be fair to Chris, he went on this date with Tia with the impression that Colton was a thing of the past for her. At the risk of sounding like a gossiping 11-year-old, we report that the two of them totally made out . She even said “Colton who?” while they were kissing, which is … a great way to tell the person you’re kissing that you are, in fact, thinking about someone else. Of course, as soon as this thing was Chris was underway, Colton arrived. Because of course that’s how they timed it. Producing a reality series is a genuine art form, folks. Colton was also given a date card right off the bat. After what we imagine was some gentle prodding from producers, he did speak to some of the other fine young women in Paradise. But he did, of course, hit things off with Tia again — for the first time in nearly half a year. They kissed, and Tia was clearly over the moon. Colton wants to figure out what this situation really means for him. Ah, Grocery Store Joe. We know from previews that he gets into conflict with Leo, but right now, he’s living his best life and enjoying flirtations with just about every woman in Paradise. Joe likes Tia, but Tia likes Colton (and liked Chris, however briefly). Krystal likes Joe, but Joe likes Kendall. This, as we know, will lead to Leo calling him a “Grocery Store B–ch” which sounds like a turn-of-the-century insult that a farmer would hurl at a city-slicker. Krystal also likes Kevin, so we’ll keep our eyes on that as it develops. Speaking of Kevin, he still has some sore feelings about his breakup with Ashley Iaconetti and her abrupt engagement to Jared. Let’s see, what else? Chris is teaming up with Nick and Jordan to take down Colton, which sounds totally plausible if they’re sitcom characters or supervillains but is otherwise super weird to hear from adult ment. Not as weird as Chris calling himself “Goose,” but still weird. Especially since they’re (sort of) the “Goose Gang.” No part of that is not awkward. This is only the beginning of the drama, of course. There’s so much more to follow — including a lot of tears. View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 5: Meet the Gorgeous Cast!
