Wendy Williams Relapses, Gets Rushed to Hospital in Wake of Husband Cheating Scandal

Things have gone from bad to worse for Wendy Williams. And now the talk show host appears to be in legitimate trouble. According to The Daily Mail, Williams was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after she suffered a relapse just one day after numerous outlets reported that her husband’s mistress had given birth to a baby. That’s a confusing sentence, we know. But Kevin Hunter, who has been married to Williams since 1997 and who shares an 18-year old son with the television personality, has allegedly been having an affair with a woman named Sharina Hudson for years. This has been an ongoing rumor for as long as we can remember — and it’s something Williams has even remarked upon to her viewers. She’s never really come out and denied the affair; she’s simply said she remains committed to her marriage. But then Hudson reportedly welcomed Hunter’s child on Monday and this, understandably, was enough to send Williams into a tailspin. The aforementioned publication writes that Williams was given an IV bag that contained vitamins and minerals at the hospital after members of her team found her highly intoxicated. It’s unclear exactly what state Williams was discovered in… but it was clearly a troubled one. “She was in a bad way and disappeared from the studio after her show Monday,” a source told the Daily Mail website, adding: “She went back to the sober house only to check herself out and decided to start drinking.” Indeed, Williams admitted to her audience just last week that she was living in this sort of facility after a previous recent relapse. You can watch her talk in emotional detail about the decision to check into a sober house in the footage below, which includes a reference to her husband: Wendy Williams Breaks Down, Reveals: I’m Living in a Sober House Continues The Daily Mail insider: “It’s not clear where she went [on Monday], but she headed in the direction of her home in Jersey and managed to find alcohol along the way. “Word got back to the studio and there was panic and concern, everyone was looking for her, no one knew whether there would be a show today. “She was eventually found and was drunk, she was immediately taken to the hospital.” At least she’s now safe and hopefully receiving the help she desperately needs. Williams was spotted on the street yesterday without her wedding ring on, perhaps as a sign that she’s finally prepared to walk away from Hunter. As mentioned above and depicted above, Williams opened the March 19 episode of her morning talk show by telling her fans she had been staying in a sober living facility while she battles her addiction. “You know me for being a very open and truthful person and I’ve got more to the story for you,” she said, prior to delving into the details as follows: “You know [my husband] Kevin [Hunter] and I have The Hunter Foundation for the good of the people. We recently launched our 888-5 HUNTER number for those of you caught up in the struggle of addiction. “Well, for some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house. “When you see me come to work glammed up, right after the show I go across the street, I do my Pilates. I told you – two hours a day or [so], to take care of my body… “You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. I never went to a place to get the treatment. I don’t know how, except God was sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped.” Hunter has said very little about his alleged affair and also about Wendy in general, but he did speak out about her sober living facility move , referring to her addiction and hopeful recovery as a “family process.” Those close to Wendy are praying Kevin won’t be a member of her family for much longer, however. “Wendy is considering divorcing Kevin,” says The Daily Mail, concluding: “She’s really distraught over the situation, she knew about Sharina but didn’t think a baby would arrive. She didn’t think Kevin would go this far, she’s lost and everyone is worried for her.” We don’t like what Williams sometimes says on her show, but we do wish her the best in this case. Hang in there and get better, Wendy.

SMFH: Florida Cops Aggressively Arrest Black Mother Who Reported Neighbor Pointing A Shotgun At Her

Source: Juanmonino / Getty Dyma Loving Arrest Goes Viral Another day, another act of police aggression. A Florida police officer was suspended for his actions during the arrest of 26-year-old Dyma Loving. Loving and her friend called the police to report that a neighbor pointed a shotgun at them after an exchange. The Miami Herald reports that Officer Alejandro Giraldo claimed that Loving threated him before he and two other officers aggressively arrested her, but body cam footage showed that Loving never threatened him, spoke clearly and became agitated only after repeated questioning and threats from Officer Giraldo. Prior to the body cam footage being released, cell phone video taken by Loving’s friend showed three officers roughly taking her down against a chain-link fence. “I just said I wanted to call my kid… What do you not understand? I had a gun pointed in front of me… I need to go call my children. I don’t understand,” said Loving in the video as she’s escorted away in a squad car. Loving and her friend Adrianna Green, 22, said they called police on March 5 after a man named Frank Tumm pointed a shotgun at them during an exchange where he called them “hookers” and one responded by calling him a “fa***t.” Tumm was initially not arrested and told police he didn’t own a weapon. The Herald adds that police revisited Frank Tumm’s home late Thursday night and took him into custody without incident. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight correctional center. His bond was set at $5,000. Loving has since said she’ll think twice about calling cops for help in the future. “I feel distraught and overwhelmed,” she told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. “Now, I don’t think I will ever call the police again.” SMH, we’re sending best wishes to this brutalized black woman.

Abbie Burnett Reveals The BIZARRE Way She Found Her Wedding Dress!

Abbie Burnett said “I do” to John David Duggar back in November of 2018 in Arkansas.  We all remember hearing about their big special day , but now we are finally getting some exclusive details about the wedding thanks to Monday’s Counting On episode.  Like the unusual way that Abbie picked out her sparkling wedding gown!  The Duggar girls had the smart idea to create a pop-up shop inside of their home for Abbie after she claimed she felt too rushed to go to Kentucky with her future sisters-in-law. So instead they brought the shop and the designer to her!  The bride-to-be decided to use Miss Renee, a designer used by Jinger, Joy and Kendra, to make her one of a kind gown.  And all within 25 days!  That’s right, Abbie was on a very tight schedule as she was one short month out from her wedding , with NO dress. So she quickly began the dress hunt in their small makeshift store.  The Duggar’s Arkansas house was packed full of female relatives, including Abbie’s mom and sisters flying in to join the numerous Duggar girls, according to the Daily Mail.  “It really reminded me of a real wedding dress shop,” Abbie said while surrounded by numerous white dresses, as well as a large mirror.  “The Duggar girls are real wedding experts so I’m happy to have their thoughts and opinions.” Despite being “stressed” about her wedding day, she somehow insisted she had not given much thought to the dress.  *gasps* “I told Miss Renee what I wanted and I just kind of left it with her,” she said.  “I’m a little nervous. I’m hoping that I’ll find the right one.” John David, who was not in the room (obvi) but was later asked about his thoughts on the gown search, he said, “I would love to see Abbie in a wedding dress.” Abbie continued to try on several options, standing on a pedestal in front of a mirror as the ladies viewed in awe of the beauty.  The first one had too much lace and the second was rejected for its dark pink color, her mom Cheryl joked that it looked “Great for the bridesmaids.” She instantly fell in love and found her perfect match with Dress #3.  The room filled with excitement and everyone knew it was the clear winner. However, she did admit she was concerned with one major issue – the lack of sparkle!  “It’s really close to the wedding, we don’t have time to make another one.” Instead, the designer added a simple ‘sparkle skirt’ and Abbie was thrilled. “The whole thing just shimmered. It was gorgeous,” she said. “I love her smile, she’s just glowing,” Renee shared, asking to call the dress “the Abbie.” Once the veil was added and she was handed the bouquet of flowers, it all sunk in and Abbie began to blush.  The designer kindly told the 26-year-old, “You can get married now – you have a dress.” Cheryl chimed in saying, “I haven’t cried at any daughter’s wedding, but I’m afraid I might at this one.” “When they grow up, you’re hoping they can find their spouse for life, and it’s a good thing. We’re happy for her and glad to see her spread her wings.” Abbie admitted to “bittersweet” feelings over the wedding, saying “I have been really close with my parents and siblings, so it will be a little different moving to Arkansas, moving away from my family.” “I’m a little bit of a homebody. I lived at home for 26 years, so it will be a big change…but a good change.” At the end of the successful find, Jessa Duggar insisted they should leave the large viewing mirror there for the “next bride.” “You never know who’s going to make the next big announcement.” Babies, weddings, proposals…?!  We’re here for all the (redundant)  Duggar family news !  View Slideshow: John David Duggar & Abbie Burnett: NO 1 CURR About Jim Bob’s Rules!

Meghan Markle Addresses Cyber-Bullying: I Can’t Even Look at Twitter!

Sadly, in 2019, just about all of us have some experience with being insulted by a stranger online. Of course, public figures are more visible, and thus, they receive even more abuse on social media than the rest of us. And sadly, there are certain celebrities who get singled out for the kind of treatment that crosses the line between bullying and harassment. Meghan Markle is one of those celebrities. In the months since she married Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex has become the focus of a targeted online harassment campaign. In recent weeks, the racist attacks on Meghan have become so severe that palace officials have been forced to investigate. Fortunately, Meghan entirely steers clear of the racist cesspool that is Twitter, so at least she’s not personally exposed to the bigotry and bitterness. The duchess reminded us all of the importance of being selective about your media consumption when she participated in a panel discussion for International Women’s Day at King’s College in London. “My personal decision is to not to feed into negativity and be more cause-driven, action-based,” Meghan said. “For me it’s a tricky one, because I’m not part of any of that. I don’t look at it. Sorry, no. For me that is my personal preference. But I do read The Economist .“ The panel was hosted by Anne McElvoy, senior editor for The Economist , so Meghan wasn’t just boasting about her high-minded reading material. Meghan added that she seeks out “journalism that’s really covering things that are going to make an impact, which we talked about backstage. We were talking about Tanzania and the article The Economist just did. “Things like that, that are really talking about how the role of women is really shifting and changing,” Meghan added. “That’s key. Focus your energy there and not on the stuff that is perhaps muddling you.” So the good news is, Meghan isn’t personally exposed to the daily tidal wave of online hate targeted at her. The bad news is, it’s still going on — and it’s very dangerous. “The Royal Family is forced to be monitoring their social media feeds 24/7 because of all of the racist hate that Meghan has been receiving,” says a source close to the situation. “It has become a great problem.” It’s important to remember that each of us can play a role in correcting this insidious problem. And by refusing to go down certain online rabbit holes, we can become less “muddled” ourselves. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Michael Jackson’s Daughter Is Standing By Her Father, Despite Allegations

Follow this link:

“L eaving Neverland ” premiered Sunday and Monday on HBO. The documentary about child abuse allegations against Michael Jackson has caused many people to question the future of the King of Pop’s legacy. However, Paris Jackson , 20, is standing by her dad. See Also:  ‘I Thought It Was A Hoax’: Sparkle Talks R. Kelly’s Marriage To Aaliyah Paris Jackson said she he has not seen the documentary and “was not offered the chance to see it before it premiered at Sundance,” TMZ reported. Nonetheless, she “firmly believes” Michael Jackson was not a pedophile. In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy. In January of 1994, he reportedly settled for $23 million. The accuser’s father committed suicide in 2009, five months after the singer died. Jordan Chandler reportedly has never come forward about the allegations and supposedly lives outside of the country. In 2017, when Wade Robson, a choreographer who is featured in “Leaving Neverland,” accused Michael Jackson of sexual assault—even though he’d said in the past the singer didn’t assault him—there was a hunt to find Chandler. According to The Daily Mail , he left the U.S. to avoid investigators. In 2003, Michael Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent to a 13-year-old boy. He was ultimately acquitted of all charges. Robson testified at the 2003 trial, but James Safechuck , the other person featured in “Leaving Neverland,” did not. Many people have been saying the documentary is untrue, including Brett Barnes , who said he knew Michael Jackson when he was child. According to TMZ , the film “implies Jackson molested him as a boy. As for why Barnes thinks this … Wade Robson — one of the singer’s well-known alleged victims — claims in the doc, Barnes ‘replaced him.’ The film then shows Michael and Brett together on tour. Thus, the insinuation.” Barnes has threatened HBO with a lawsuit “claiming the documentary puts him in a false light and subjects him to ‘hatred, contempt and ridicule.’ Presumably, the lawyer is saying MJ supporters will target Barnes as a result of the documentary.” Barnes testified at Michael Jackson’s criminal trial in 2005 and said he was never assaulted by him. He also tweeted this in January. Not only do we have to deal with these lies, but we’ve also got to deal with people perpetuating these lies. The fact that they fail to do the small amount of research it takes to prove these are lies, by choice or not, makes it even worse. — Brett Barnes (@IAmBrettBarnes) January 30, 2019 Michael Jackson was acquitted of all charges.

Dunder-Mifflin Fenty: Rihanna’s Project Loud France Will Feature Office Supplies, Home Decor, And Garden Products

Source: ANTHONY HARVEY / Getty Rihanna’s Project Loud France To Sell Office Supplies And More In a time not too far from now, Rihanna will own and sell both the heavens and the earth, but until then, she’ll simply take every product that you need in your daily life and make it part of her personal brand. Earlier this year we reported that Robyn Fenty had entered into a business venture with the folks at Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy to design and produce a line of luxury goods. Naturally, we assumed purses, luggage, and other typical items. We were dumb to think that anything Rihanna put her name on would anything remotely close to “typical”. According to VOGUE , Robyn’s line will run the gamut of high-end products that really, really, rich people spend their tax-sheltered money on. Project Loud France’s purpose is the “conception, fabrication, distribution, commerce, importation and exportation” of products across a range of categories including menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, footwear, eyewear, leather goods, sportswear, “goods linked to lifestyle”, high-tech products, office supplies, home decor and garden products, the new reports find. Jean-Baptiste Voisin, LVMH’s chief strategy officer… Did that list say “office supplies, home decor, and garden products”??? Bih, you gonna be able to cop a Rihanna x Louis Vuitton stapler, bed sheets, ottoman, rake, AND hoe?!?! It’s. F**king. Lit. If Rihanna’s new album didn’t sell a single record it’d STILL be over for you hoes.

SMH: NYC Professor Says CUNY Illegally Seized & Lost Priceless Black History Documents & $12M Research

Source: georgeclerk / Getty He’s In The Middle Of A Complex Lawsuit With The Institution Of Higher Learning A Black political science professor, who was fired by the City University of New York, is currently tied up in a multi-million dollar federal lawsuit over lost Black history research. According to New York Daily News , Professor Joseph Wilson says decades of lectures, writings, correspondence, books and research, including some that can’t be replaced, was illegally seized by CUNY. The professor says years of research was boxed up and carted away by clueless CUNY security guards without warning in a series of warrant-less raids of his school offices. The drastic actions came after the celebrated professor was accused of enriching himself on the school’s dollar. Over the past several years since the the raids happened, Wilson has been fighting to save his Brooklyn College teaching job. He’s also tried with limited success to track down his items. Some were found tossed into random boxes, others were strewn across school shelves and plastic bags, and other items have completely disappeared. Wilson is seeking unspecified punitive and compensatory damages for his lost work in a lawsuit. He also is demanding CUNY dig up his property or pay him for what was lost. “All I want is justice. What gives people the right, for whatever alleged violations they used to fire me, to trash my history and my intellectual property?” Wilson told the Daily News . “The university has to be held accountable and apologize profusely and profoundly. They made some dastardly errors.” CUNY denies all allegations made against them by Wilson. The school said a neutral arbitrator found Wilson was appropriately terminated due to “serious misconduct” that included taking an additional $100,000 in compensation he wasn’t entitled to over the course of three years. He also allegedly submitted false documents to college officials. “We look forward to a full airing of all of the facts in this case, which clearly show that Mr. Wilson’s claims are without merit,” a spokesman said. “The lawsuit is built on false allegations.” Despite the allegations made by CUNY, Wilson definitely has a strong rep in the academic world. The 67-year-old was a leading expert on the history of Black working class and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first Black union. He’s also enjoyed a long tenured career as a political science professor at Brooklyn College, and he founded the Brooklyn College Center for Diversity and MultiCultural Studies, dedicated to increasing diversity among students, teachers and classroom topics. In 1997, he was also appointed director of the Graduate Center for Worker Education in lower Manhattan. Things took a shift for the downside when the “raid” was carried out at the Worker Educations Center in January 2012. “We were told not to move, that we couldn’t make any phone calls, or leave the office or speak to anyone,” said Wilson. Several months later, the suit says another seizure was carried out on the Brooklyn College campus where Wilson had two offices. Everything was taken, including his letters with poet and fellow teacher Allen Ginsberg , his correspondence with music legend Ray Charles , a transcript and notes on a previously undiscovered speech by Martin Luther King Jr. , and thousands more pages and items. Even his research into a death threat made against Civil Rights and labor organizer A. Philip Randolph (who was mailed a severed human hand) was taken. In addition to all this, Wilson also can’t find the bulk of his 40-year academic research, which independent scholars value at $12 to $14 million. Wilson filed his federal suit in 2017, but the complex case is still underway nearly two years later. For Wilson, the main goal is to recoup as much as his work as possible. He reflected on the experience saying: “I have to tell you, it was traumatic, shattering and world changing what happened, and I never believed that it could and I certainly didn’t think it would happen at CUNY. I amassed an incredible amount of documentary history on Black workers…a treasure trove on some of the great and the unknown civil rights leaders. How it is possible that all this is going to be erased?”
