GTFOHWTBS: Donald Trump’s Pu**y-Grabbing Guffaw Buddy Bill Bush Wants To End “War On Flaws”

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image via Heidi Gutman/ABC via Getty Images Billy Bush Wants To End The “War On Flaws” Remember Billy Bush? He’s the former Access Hollywood and Today host who thought Donald Trump’s vagina-violation boasts were hilarious. Well, whether you realized it or not, yesterday was the 2-year anniversary of that infamous taping hitting airwaves during the 2016 Presidential election. Billy thought that he should mark the day by taking to Instagram to go on some righteously indignant rant about how society needs to end the “war on faults”. Because, apparently, there are terrible things “that we all do” that people are being punished too harshly for… It’s funny that the same white male privilege that got Billy in trouble to begin with is the same entitlement that fueled this heada$$ caption. Clearly he’s learned nothing. No surprise there.

The Whole Truth: Woman Posts Her Domestic Violence Photos On IG & Goes Viral

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo by Oleksandr Rupeta/NurPhoto via Getty Images A Woman Bravely Speaks Out On Instagram A Florida woman is unapologetically shedding light on a subject that can still be taboo in some circles. Melissa Gentz , 22, posted a picture of her bruised and bloodied face on social media. Her attacker was her socialite boyfriend Erick Bretz according to New York Daily News .  He allegedly attacked Gentz on September 23 in his downtown Tampa condo tower. Melissa, a University of South Florida student, posted her scars on Instagram three days later writing: “You know how we usually have a side of our face that we prefer more than the other? I like my left side. Unfortunately, it’s the side that was severely bruised by violence,” she captioned the image. “Today was the first day in which I felt like passing some mascara and blush on the right side of my face… I won’t hide the marks of my story because NO woman should feel ashamed of (sic) feel blamed for being a victim of domestic violence.” You can check out Gentz’ graphic pic for yourself here . The bruises Gentz suffered went viral in her native Brazil with over 1 million shares of her photo. Even actress and model  Luiz Brunet   shared Gentz’s story on her Instagram. Brazilian soap star Joao Vicente de Castro also wrote, “Courageous. Doing what you have done is important and necessary. I’m proud of people like you. We are with you.” Four days after posting her initial photo, Gentz shared another pic of her bruised face, but this time it was nestled in a basket of flowers. “Life moves on and we’re all strong enough to put ourselves first,” she wrote. You can check out that photo  here . Erick Bretz’s father owns one of Brazil’s largest grocery chains and he’s also known on the Brazilailan Motocross Championship circuit. Gentz and Bretz were reportedly dating for three months before the September 23 attack. The altercation allegedly grew after Bretz mixed insomnia medication with alcohol. He allegedly kicked Gentz in the face and tried to strangle her with his legs. She also told the cops that he punched her in the face, struck her in the face with a bottle, and pulled out chunks of her hair. Bretz, 25 was arrested on charges of domestic battery by strangulation and tampering with a witness. He was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail, then was later released on a $60,000 bail. He has since pleaded not guilty.

R.I.P.: Rapper Hollywood Play Shot And Killed Outside Of Club In Queens, New York

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images Rapper Hollywood Play Shot Dead In Front Of Queens Lounge A rapper was gunned down in front of a lounge in Queens, New York where he was hosting a birthday party early on Sunday morning, according to authorities. 35-year-old Frank Snyder, known by the stage name “Hollywood Play,” reportedly stepped out of Tavern Lounge on Jamaica Avenue at about 3:15 a.m. According to police, a black sedan then pulled up in front of the club, and a gunman got out and began firing toward the lounge. Snyder was shot once in the leg and once in his neck, authorities said. He was immeadiately rushed to Jamaica Hospital and there he was pronounced dead. It was not immediately clear if Hollywood Play was the intended target of the shooting, according to police, but a bartender at the lounge said that the shooter did appear to be aiming for the rapper. “They targeted him,” Tiesajah Reynolds said Sunday morning. “There was a couple other people outside. I feel like they had to wait for the right moment to get him. I don’t understand, why him? Why come after him? They had to be waiting for him.” The bartender later added that she heard a car speed away from the scene after the shots, and believed it may have been a drive-by shooting. A friend and fellow rapper who goes by the name Chedda Boss said he was absolutely stunned by the news. “When I woke up and saw [on social media] ‘RIP,’ I’m like, no, not my man Frankie. And my first thought was, damn, I hope he didn’t pass away in a car accident,” he said. “I would never have thought he’d gotten shot, because that’s not the kind of life that he lived.” Snyder was hosting a birthday party at the lounge on Saturday night before the fatal shooting, according to social media posts. “HollywoodPlay & #straightMovin presents #BringYaFriendsSaturdays,” read a post on Snyder’s Instagram prior to the celebration. Any more information on the motive or identity of the shooter is still unknown.

Elsewhere In The World: Earthquake Strikes Haiti’s Coast Leaving At Least 11 Dead

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Getty Images More Than 100 Injured Following Earthquake On Haiti’s Northern Coast An earthquake struck off of the northern coast of Haiti late on Saturday. It is being reported that the quake killed at least 11 people and injured more than a hundred when several buildings collapsed in the impoverished Caribbean country, according to officials. The earthquake had a magnitude of 5.9 quake and was centered about 12 miles west-northwest of the coastal town of Port-de-Paix, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Jackson Hilaire, the police chief for the northwest region, announced earlier that at least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured in Port-de-Paix. Another four people were reported dead in and around the town of Gros-Morne further south, which includes a boy who was struck by a falling building, said mayor Jean Renel Tide. This earthquake was one of the strongest to hit Haiti since 2010, when a 7.0 magnitude quake struck near the capital, Port-au-Prince and killed tens of thousands of people. In a post on Twitter, President Jovenel Moise urged the people of Haiti to remain calm after the civil protection agency reported the latest quake had caused outbreaks of panic in northern towns following the commotion. The agency said that Port-de-Paix, Gros-Morne, the town of Chansolme and the island of Tortuga were the cities to suffer some of the worst damage across the coast. They also reported that some houses were destroyed. Le Nouvelliste newspaper said that one person in particular was killed when an auditorium collapsed in Gros-Morne and that detainees were released from a police holding cell that was damaged.The tremor also damaged the facade of a church in the town of Plaisance and a house next door collapsed, the paper said. Saturday’s quake was felt in Port-au-Prince, but initial reports via Twitter said that it had not caused major damage there.

Rack, Rack City Bih: Birdman Allegedly Working On A $10 Million Settlement With Tyga For Unpaid Royalties

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

KIKA/WENN.com Tyga Slaps Birdman & Cash Money With $10 Million Lawsuit For Withholding Royalties According to The Blast Birdman is trying to work out a settlement with Tyga for the $10 million lawsuit he filed after leaving Cash Money Records. He is claiming the record label screwed him out of millions of dollars in royalties. Tyga sued Cash Money and Young Money Records earlier the year accusing them of refusing to pay him royalties for his albums “Careless World” and “Hotel California”. The “Taste” rapper sued Birdman for breach of contract and is seeking a total of $10 million in damages. Court documents were filed earlier this month on Birdman’s behalf where Cash Money is asking for an extension to respond to the lawsuit. Birdman acknowledges that his answer was due this week but is requesting until the end of the month to work the issue out. He stated that Tyga has already agreed to the “extension of time to facilitate ongoing settlement discussions.”
