Big Trouble For ‘Black-Ish’: Everybody’s Favorite Sitcom Is Getting Sued

“Black-ish” Creator Kenya Barris Sued By Man Claiming He Helped Create The Hit Show

Kenya Barris Sued Over Taking Full Credit For “Black-ish” When success comes knocking and the glow-up is real…people inevitably start emerging looking for a cut of the action. Things are no different with “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris. Just days after it was announced that he was granted a multi-million dollar movie deal after the success of the ABC show…a man claiming to have helped Barris conceptualize the show concept has come from the woodwork looking for cash and credit. Via TMZ : The hugely successful creator of “Black-ish” forgot someone on his way to the top … namely the guy who says the show is based on his life. Kenya Barris is the credited creator of the huge ABC hit, starring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross, and Bryan Barber says he and Kenya go way back to their college days in 1996. In a lawsuit Barber just filed — obtained by TMZ — he says he and Kenya both became writers and both had agents at William Morris. He says they formed a partnership in 2006, and came up with a script focusing on the “black experience” … through the eyes of a “successful, creative and affluent black man” working in the mostly white entertainment industry. That’s Anderson’s character to a T, except he works at an ad agency. In the the suit, Barber says the script was based on HIS life experiences, and he and Kenya agreed to exploit it for their benefit. Problem is … he says they parted ways before 2014, when “Black-ish” debuted. Barber says “Black-ish” has tons of similarities to the OG show idea — such as the lead character driving a luxury car, wearing high-end clothes, and marrying a bi-racial doctor named “Rainbow.” He’s suing Barris and the show’s production company for at least $1 million. Plus, he wants writer and creator credits which would net him even more dough. We’ve reached out to Kenya’s rep … no word back. Yikes. Well time will tell if this guy truly has a case. It certainly seems to have taken him a long time to get upset enough to look for his just due… ABC Continue reading

For Discussion: Bill Cosby Claims “Racial Bias” Is Significantly Affecting His Rape Trial

Bill Cosby’s Legal Team Believes “Racial Bias” Is Against Him In Rape Trial Bill Cosby is about to have his day to face a jury of his peers and let his attorney’s tell it, race is going to play a significant role in whether or not the comedian spends his last days as a free man… Via NBCNews As embattled comedy legend Bill Cosby enters the legal fight of his life, his attorneys have begun to invoke the concept of “racial bias” playing a role in the case being made against him. The 79-year-old actor is scheduled to go on trial next summer for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand, then an employee of his alma mater Temple University, in his home in 2004. Cosby has denied any wrongdoing in the case — which he had previously settled in 2006 — and has maintained that their encounter was consensual. On Tuesday, following a hearing where prosecutors sought to make testimony of 13 other Cosby accusers admissible, his attorneys went on offense — calling out attorney Gloria Allred, who represents several of his alleged victims, for her role in the case. “The time has come to shine a spotlight on the trampling of Mr. Cosby’s civil rights,” Cosby’s lawyers wrote in a statement. “Her campaign against Mr. Cosby builds on racial bias and prejudice that can pollute the court of public opinion.” Allred retorts: “He complains about racial bias, but what about the African-American women whom I represent who accuse him of sexual assault or rape and who refuse to remain silent about what they say they have suffered?,” While Mr. Cosby and his legal team may smell the stench of bigotry surrounding the prosecutions narrative, it isn’t as if the former “favorite dad” of America doesn’t have black supporters. Eddie Griffin , Kanye West , Luenell and Keshia Knight-Pulliam several other celebs have spoken out publicly in support of the comedian. Then you have those like Monique Pressley , the former face of Cosby’s defense team, who recently quit her job working for Cosby for unspecified reasons. Former prosecutor and Cleveland-Marshell College of Law professor Lolita Buckner Inniss seems to think Pressley’s presence could have been extremely helpful to Cosby keeping some of that black support: “Her gender and her race matter, because Bill Cosby is being charged with sexual assault of several women. A large number of those women are white women. I think there’s a certain extent to which the idea of racial solidarity plays in here. The idea that if an intelligent, well-spoken black woman stands with Bill Cosby on this, then perhaps some of those people who accuse Bill Cosby are lying,” Lolita Buckner Inniss, a former prosecutor and professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University, told NPR earlier this year. Do you think the racial component of this case is a hinderance or help to Bill Cosby? Image via WENN Continue reading

Lady Gaga Bikini Nightmare of the DAy

Lady Gaga is being ousted as a Taylor Swift, you know a media manipulating cunt who lies and creates an illusion by polarizing their story into something marketable – and really committing to said lie…the kind of girl who cheats on people, slits some throats and turns the story into a “poor me”…when the real victim is viewers like us, forced to listen to every fucking song they create on repeat – to the point we know the lyrics – which basics confuse for liking the song – while people like me just get mad about it…because it’s garbage – manipulative and she’s not that hot… My only Gaga story is that years ago – I fondled her ass when she was in a VIP area at a club, fully on sexual assault mode – but not because it turned me on, it was more a grab her ass – see if she reacts and she didn’t so keep grabbing her ass – like a creeper….but a creeper with taste because throughout her career her only redeeming quality has been that ass… THE FUNNY THING in my rapey hand grabbing Gaga story is that I wasn’t even in the VIP, she didn’t even know I was grabbing her ass, we never even met and she just didn’t react..which to me was her consent…but everytime she cries about sexual assault and victims – I know I did something that wasn’t rape at the time – but that today – the feminists at the college level would go crazy about…KINDA FUNNY… I guess what I am saying is Gaga’s tears for victims are lies, she actually likes sexual assault, it’s gotta be the only reason her career happened – because that face is terrifying… The post Lady Gaga Bikini Nightmare of the DAy appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Anja Rubik Topless Music Video of the Day

This video came out about a month ago. I don’t listen to music, it distracts me from the voices in my head, so I don’t really keep on top of music videos, or what youtube calls – visuals to entertain people as they use youtube to listen to music for free, but that MTV call useless, because they aren’t as compelling as shitty reality TV, from Real World, to Jersey Shore, what the fuck’s the point of playing music on a music based network let youtube have that corner on the marketplace…makes perfect sense when you’re slow to the fucking gate… Now in this video by someone named Mary Komasa, there is a titty model named Anja Rubik, who has been in many campaigns and who is pretty much a top model, despite being a titty model….who is showing her titties in one of the most dramatic videos I’ve seen in a while, not just because it is lack and white, but because there are grenades at a fashion show and two women in a topless embrace…because it’s art…. As someone who jerked off to music videos before the world had porn, before the world was destroyed by porn, before kids were raised by porn to think that sex is a male centric- bro pleasure activity – that involves abuse, facial abuse, etc….leading to all these jacked up horny rapists at the college level who think that”s what romance is…I guess this is more the kind of video you’d want to jerk off to thank S Club 7, the Spice girls and Cher in lingerie on a boat…we took what we were given….oh the 90s…. Either way, hot tits. The post Anja Rubik Topless Music Video of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Kylie Jenner: Tyga Owes Her HOW Much Money???

Some people have deadbeat ex-boyfriends for whom they provide rent money, while others have become full-blown sugar mamas. Such is the case for Kylie Jenner, who is allegedly out $2 million. “Kylie had been bankrolling Tyga for well over a year and she’s finding herself short on cash as a result,” a source told Radar Online . I know the girl is 18 and has control over her own finances, but PAGING KRIS JENNER BECAUSE IT’S TIME TO FIRE YOUR DAUGHTER’S BUSINESS MANAGER. Jenner is reportedly “begging” the 26-year-old to pay her back. “He was shocked when she asked to be paid, telling her he thought the money was a gift, not a loan,” the source revealed. “He’s a total loser and owes her over $2 million.” Tyga has made headlines mainly because of his money issues; he was evicted from one home after falling behind on rent, and it’s been reported that one or more of his vehicles has been repossessed . Tyga gifted Jenner with a $320,000 Ferrari on her 18th birthday last August, which I’m assuming was paid for with her money. Kylie Jenner: Birthday Present From Tyga Video When Tyga confessed to not having any money to give back to his ex-girlfriend, Jenner knew she was f***ed. “Kylie had no choice but to admit it all to Kris, who absolutely hit the roof,” the source added. “She threatened to go after him if Kylie didn’t ditch him.” Can you blame Kris?  Tyga totally took advantage of a teenager. “She was always helping him, paying his legal bills when he was getting out of his record contract and she funding most of his latest album, which flopped.” College may be out of the question for Jenner, but her momager is making sure the youth learns from her mistake. “Kris now wants her on an accountancy course because she’s obviously completely clueless about money.” Time to start hawking more of those lip kits!
