Traci finally responds to Tamar … Traci Braxton Responds To Tamar After Getting Blasted On Twitter We recently reported that Tamar blasted big sister Traci after the release of her new album. Via Hello Beautiful reports: Tamar Braxton threw some pitch-black shade when she openly trashed her sister Traci Braxton’s vocal prowess on Twitter. After years of dreaming about a music career and being the underdog on “Braxton Family Values,” Traci finally dropped her debut solo album,” Crash & Burn,” last week! She’s received plenty of praise for the album she fought so hard to make, and her fans have loved every moment of listening to her work. Among all of the love that she’s retweeted, one person confidently stated that they could see a Grammy in her future! One would think that Traci’s sisters would be among the folks congratulating her on her album, but Tamar seemed a little salty about it because she made a really snarky remark about that prediction. “Do the Grammys have a duet with auto tune category yet? Cause…(chair emoji) (thumbs down emoji),” Tamar stated in a tweet that has since been scrubbed from her timeline. She left it up just long enough for The Shade Room to get a screen capture of the comments, though! Traci hasn’t responded to the hurtful comments from her sister on social media at this time. She did take some time out to thank her oldest sister Toni Braxton for helping lay the groundwork for her to be able to release her own project, though. Well, it looks like Traci is finally firing back at Tamar and it’s nothing but love! Via Hip Hop Socialite reports: You know what, fans like to be on sides, and try to ’cause some division with the sisters or speculate anything. That’s my baby sister. Tamar and I, we know we love each other – we know we say things to each other and everything like that. But you know, she’s the baby sister. We spoiled her – she’s going to be spoiled. It’s like Venus and Serena, you know, when they have a match together, but they still love each other.” What do you think of Tamar and Traci’s relationship??
He was hunting for something else… Montana Man Attacks Male Friend After Gay Sexual Advances After a full day of hunting and drinking, a Montana man allegedly threatened his hunting partner with a knife after the man rebuffed his sexual advances , police allege. Via The Smoking Gun reports: According to a probable cause affidavit, a Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded late Sunday night to a report of a drunken man refusing to leave a residence in Hamilton, a city 45 miles south of Missoula. Upon arriving at the home, the cop found Robert Saunders, 31, pushing on a garage door. Saunders, whose blood alcohol content was later measured at nearly four times the legal limit, was handcuffed while the deputy interviewed Michael Smith, the home’s occupant. Smith told Deputy Jon Moles that he and Saunders “had been hunting all day and drinking,” and that Saunders (seen above) became “verbally abusive and aggressive” when they returned to Smith’s residence. Saunders, Smith reported, would “grab him around the neck” and “push up against his body” while grabbing his own groin and saying, “You know what this is about.” Smith told the deputy that he felt intimidated by Sauders “and that it was a ‘sexual situation.’” After refusing to “give in to Defendant’s sexual advances,” Smith repeatedly asked Saunders to leave the home. At one point while Saunders held him around the neck, Smith recalled, Saunders “unsnapped the latch of a knife sheath he had on his hip carrying a large 4-inch blade knife.” Fearing for his safety, Smith said that he grabbed his own knife and held it in the air. Saunders responded by pulling his own knife and assuming a “defensive stance toward Smith.” But before any stabbing transpired, Saunders “put the knife down and Smith was able to push him out of the garage door and lock it,” the affidavit notes. The deputy sought to question Saunders, “but he was too intoxicated and focused on standing up…to provide understandable responses.” A Breathalyzer test recorded Saunders’s blood alcohol content at .306. Charged with felony assault with a weapon, Saunders spent about 12 hours in custody before posting $10,000 bond. WTF?!??!!?!?!
Wow…what a shock (sarcasm). Stark Racial Biases Revealed In NYPD Arrest Practices A new study has proven, once again, that cops more frequently pursue and more harshly punish offenders of color . But surely we didn’t need additional facts and figures to point out where Black and brown folks stand with one-time … Via HuffPost : Three decades ago, New York’s Times Square was a symbol of vice and violence. Today, cops in the area worry about street performers who dress up like Elmo. The city’s transformation from crime capital to urban Disneyland is one of America’s great success stories, but a less encouraging narrative has accompanied it. As a new report shows, arrests for petty offenses like turnstile-jumping and pot possession have shot up since 1980, disproportionately affecting young black and Latino men. The report, released Tuesday by John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, shows that the nation’s largest police force has been arresting more people for misdemeanors, a category that includes low-level crimes, from prostitution to minor drug offenses to dancing in the subway. Since 1980, the percentage of New Yorkers arrested for misdemeanors has tripled, according to the study. The number of blacks arrested for misdemeanors nearly doubled to 104,659 in 2013, from 56,152 in 1990. Latinos saw the number rise even more dramatically, to 78,733 from 30,885. Police arrested 28,996 whites for misdemeanors in 2013, compared with 21,815 in 1990. In New York, civil rights advocates have long criticized the police for stopping and frisking disproportionate numbers of black and Latino people. Mayor Bill de Blasio took office in January after promising to reform the practice. But the new mayor appointed as the police commissioner William J. Bratton, known for his hard-nosed approach to minor offenses. That strategy came under intense scrutiny last summer, after the police grabbed Staten Island grandfather Eric Garner in a chokehold while attempting to arrest him for selling untaxed cigarettes. Garner died soon after. Critics say Bratton’s “broken windows” strategy lands hard on low-income people and people of color. We really wish they’d stop releasing reports reiterating the obvious and make steps toward change…
Which of her relationships is she talking about?? Jennifer Lopez Reveals History Of Abuse In Relationships Via PageSix : Was abuse the reason Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony called it quits in 2011? In a short excerpt (via People) from her forthcoming memoir, “True Love,” Lopez, 45, recalls the day she revealed her marriage was over and the thoughts about relationships that followed. The singer was on the set of a photo shoot in July 2011. Things on the outside seemed to be picture perfect for Lopez: She had recently celebrated her seventh wedding anniversary (June 5), her twins Max and Emme were doing well and her newest single, “On the Floor,” had soared to number one around the world. But on the inside, Lopez was struggling with her relationship. “In a blur of fear and panic, I looked at Benny [Medina] and my mother and blurted out the words: ‘I don’t think I can be with Marc anymore.’ Then I burst into tears,” Lopez writes. “It was out. The thing I feared more than anything in the world. I collapsed into their arms and began to sob.” Lopez and Anthony publicly announced their divorce on July 15, 2011. “Hardest. Day. Ever,” she dramatically sums up. In the year that followed, Lopez launched her Dance Again tour, on which she wanted to show the “truth about abusive relationships.” Lopez never says her seven-year marriage to Anthony was abusive, although she once called their relationship “very Sonny and Cher,” and also opens up about abuse in her past. “I’ve never gotten a black eye or a busted lip, but I’ve been in relationships where I have felt abused in way or another: mentally, emotionally, verbally,” she writes. “I know what it feels like for your soul to be diminished by the way your loved one is treating you.” The “Booty” singer’s list of exes include Diddy, Casper Smart, three ex-husbands Ojani Noa, Chris Judd and Anthony and a highly publicized engagement to Ben Affleck. Lopez says it took her years to learn that abusive relationships fall on the shoulders of both partners. “Because every day that you don’t walk out that door, every day you accept things in your partner and in yourself, is a day that you’re saying it’s okay,” she writes. “True Love” is released on Nov. 4. Domestic violence is definitely a hot-button issue…but it’s rare you hear of celebs coming forward to speak of emotional and verbal abuse. We wonder which of her many highly publicized love affairs this story comes from…

This stuff sounds like a new-age “Wolf of Wall Street” Investor’s Wife Reveals Sex Trades, Drug Use On Wall Street Via PageSix : Christina Kelly says her investment-banker husband made her go the extra mile to help him land a client — pushing her into a partner-swap with the business honcho and his wild girlfriend. The mom of two revealed details of the kinky alleged hookup — and every drug binge, extramarital pool fling and sex encounter in between — in salacious Manhattan court papers targeting her husband, Jefferies & Co. wunderkind Sage Kelly. Christina Kelly alleges in nearly every page that her $7-million-a-year hubby is nothing but a coke- and Ecstasy-loving, booze-swilling, abusive spouse and dad who lives for seamy sex romps. Christina, 39, said her husband, 42, was trying to woo Aegerion Pharmaceuticals honcho Marc Beer the night she wound up having sex with Beer — and “sexual contact’’ with his prancing, big-breasted girlfriend, according to the papers. The former Ralph Lauren event planner said the sex jaunt occurred in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston in 2012 after a booze- and cocaine-fueled evening. “Soon, Sage and I were having sex with each other on one bed, and Marc and his girlfriend were having sex on the other bed,’’ Christina says in her affidavit. “Then, Marc said, ‘Let’s switch,’ ” she claims in the papers. “Marc suggested that his girlfriend and I have sex with each other. “Mindful of [Sage’s] goal of securing business from Marc, I felt responsible not to disappoint Marc. So, his girlfriend and I had sexual contact for a few minutes, while Marc and Sage watched. “Then, Marc’s girlfriend joined Sage on our bed, and Sage and she started to have sexual relations. “Then, I joined Marc on his bed, and he and I engaged in sexual relations,’’ Christina said in the sworn affidavit. “Following that evening, Marc Beer has been an important client of Sage and, presumably, a substantial reason for Sage’s enormously successful career at his current investment bank, Jefferies and Company Inc.,’’ she said. On top of all that, Kelly says her husband puts their kids in danger by being constantly high and bringing drug-use into their home around their two daughters: She said he once slapped one of the little girls across the face for saying she was afraid she might pee herself — and routinely calls the kids “f–king retard’’ and “f–king idiot.’’ “Mommy, can you please tell Daddy to stop calling me a f–king retard?’’ one of the little girls asked her, the filing says. And Christina said one of her husband’s pals also “inadvertently left a bag of cocaine on a pool table’’ at the family’s Sag Harbor home — and one of the kids stuck her finger in it. Christina says she stopped the child before she could ingest it. Christina said Sage was so into drugs that he once hosted “Mushroom Day” in the Hamptons where “he continually ingested [psychedelic] mushrooms throughout the day . . . while the children were present.” He also urinated and defecated on himself in bed, she said in the papers. Wild stuff, right? Wonder what else goes on in these circles that wives and girlfriends keep quiet about…
