After they had a sitdown on RHOA over Kandi telling Porsha about her fiance Dennis previously tattooing several women’s names on his body and after Porsha accused Kandi of being “hateful and miserable”, Porsha’s got more to say. Porsha used her BravoTV blog today to make it was CLEAR that she still thinks Kandi’s “disingenuous” when it comes to Dennis and instead was being messy when she told the other ladies of RHOA what she thought about his tattoos. “She is great at throwing the rock and hiding her hand,” said Porsha Bravotv.com: How do you think the lunch with Kandi went? PW: At the end of the day, I wanted Kandi to know I saw through her fake concern, because she had already proved it was disingenuous by spreading it to two different groups of women instead of coming directly to me. Kandi knew that while she was being “messy,” we hadn’t communicated with one another on any personal level as “friends,” so why would she even care? Her actions showed me that she is great at throwing the rock and hiding her hand. If she didn’t want to make up, she should have just been straight up and said that instead of acting like we were moving forward. The whole time she headed down the “wrong road” on her own. I’m cool either way! She also doesn’t buy that Kandi was trying to get their friendship back on track. Bravotv.com: Do you believe that Kandi is trying to make an effort to get your friendship back on track? Porsha Williams: If she is, she has a crazy way of showing it! Ooop!

Let no one ever accuse Catelynn Baltierra of holding anything back. The veteran Teen Mom Og star has been open and honest for years about her battle with mental health issues, along with her occasional struggle to remain happily married to husband Tyler. The couple has remained together since middle school and has welcomed two kids together (one of which was given up for adoption), yet both sides have admitted at times that it hasn't been easy. It's still not easy. Tyler made that evident on the latest episode of Teen Mom OG when he continued to push for a trial separation. He even prepared to move into a new home. How did Catelynn react to this development? What is her biggest fear? Scroll down for a look at how the Baltierras are dealing with two very different ideas of what they want from their relationship… 1. Why Must It Be This Way, Tyler? For the past couple weeks, Teen Mom OG viewers have witnessed Tyler and Catelynn struggle in their marriage, even as they express excitement over Catelynn’s pregnancy. 2. What’s the Issue Here? Tyler has been there for his wife — through A LOT. He watched as she suffered a miscarriage in early 2018 and then went to Arizona for a month because she was stuck in a dark depression for awhile as a result. 3. He’s Always Supported Catelynn, BUT… … it’s taken an emotional toll. “When does it ever turn around?” he asked some friends on an episode in November. “When is it ever 50/50?! I’m saying this is what I need, awesome. If you can’t, let me know now. I don’t want to waste any time, let me get out of here. Marriage is a bitch.” 4. And He Wants Out? On occasion, yes. Tyler has made it clear he does NOT want to sleep around and that he truly loves Catelynn. He just needs some space sometimes. 5. In a House All His Own?!? Yes. This was at the crux of the Teen Mom episode that aired on December 10, as Tyler prepared to actually move out. 6. Can We Not Make This a Big Deal? “It’s only eight minutes down the road,” Tyler emphasized on air. “We’re just living separate. It’s not like we’re dating other people and never talking to each other for 30 days. We all need personal space sometimes.” View Slideshow
So far the casting of Bristol Palin on Teen Mom OG isn’t working out for anyone involved. Bristol gets paid more than any of the other cast members, and her fame was supposed to help to increase the show’s ratings. That didn’t happen. In fact, as Starcasm reports, ratings for the long-running series have been steadily declining since it returned to the airwaves in March of 2015. (The show was on hiatus from 2012 to 2015 due to Amber Portwood’s imprisonment , and it never quite recovered.) At its peak, TMOG pulled in over 3.5 million viewers an episode. These days, it draws an audience of less than a million. Part of the problem is that the show’s resident villain, Farrah Abraham, was fired before the start of this season, creating a serious drama vacuum. Producers attempted to fill the void by adding new cast members Bristol and Cheyenne Floyd, but thus far, viewers aren’t taking the bait. The reaction to Bristol, in particular, has ranged from apathetic to vitriolic, as fans attempt to puzzle out why a member of one of America’s most reviled political families has been shoehorned into an otherwise apolitical reality show. By any measure, the Bristol experiment has failed, and it seems that Palin is taking all the criticism from fans to heart: And Bristol used a painfully lame defense when responding to a fan who maligned her during the airing of Monday night’s new episode. “[MTV] you really need to take [Bristol] off Teen Mom OG,” the angry viewer wrote on Instagram. “This chick is soooo damn ditzy and dum. Why is she so worried about her sons money if it’s for his trust fund for college?!?! “He’s not going anytime soon!!!!” “dumb.. if you’re going to criticize me, at least be grammatically correct,” Bristol replied. Okay — she’s certainly correct in her assertion that there are some grammatical and spelling errors in that post, but it’s not like the fan didn’t get her message across. And resorting to criticizing your opponent’s grammar is generally a good sign that you’re lacking a decent counterargument. Oh, and it took us about 4 seconds of scrolling through Bristol’s socials to find some egregious assaults on grammar and syntax, so she probably shouldn’t continue to go there with fans. As for what the future holds for Bristol — that’s anyone’s guess. The exact terms of her contract are a mystery, but it’s hard to believe she’ll be back for another season at her current salary.

Just over a week ago, Danielle Mullins was asking fans for cash because she was at risk of losing her home. She asked for $5,000 in crowdfunding, and the donations poured in for the former 90 Day Fiance star. Now, she is thanking the fans who rode to her rescue. Danielle Mullins Jbali took to Facebook to thank her fans and followers for their help. “I want to thank everyone who donated to the GoFundMe that was set up by a friend,” Danielle writes. Some have speculated that Danielle herself may have set it up as if it were by a friend, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. “It showed me that there are people who care,” Danielle gushes. “And,” she writes, it shows her that there are people who “do it out of the kindness of their heart.” “It really helped,” Danielle assures her fans and followers. “And,” she continues. “I was able to pay what was behind with my money.” Danielle had previously shared that her work had cut her hours to 20 per week. Even finding a second job did not come in time, and she had fallen behind on her rental payments on the trailer lot. She also had some unexpected expenses, including a black mold crisis in her kitchen. Now, she was able to cover those debts — and more. Danielle reveals that she paid her past due rent “and paid what was due for December.” Some fans may wonder if they’ve only delayed the inevitable. Danielle is quick to make it clear that she doesn’t expect to ask for further handouts in the near future. “I started my new job this past Wednesday,” Danielle announces. “So,” she writes. “That will help.” Of course, all of her plans and current employment could have been placed in jeopardy if she had temporarily lost her home. There are others ways that fans and followers have supported her. “I also would like to thank everyone who as ordered cameos and autographs from me,” Danielle writes. By cameos , she means short, personalized videos that followers can purchase. Danielle continues: “because that money has helped too.” We are sure that it has. “I want to say thank you to all my supporters,” Danielle writes. She continues: “family, and friends throughout the last four years.” Danielle has been one of the most controversial and most discussed figures on 90 Day Fiance . Just the other day, Paola Mayfield credited Danielle and Mohamed with putting the series on the map. “And,” Danielle concludes. “I hope you continue to follow me.” Some were critical of Danielle for asking for cash from fans. She is, after all, a reality star — and they couldn’t imagine why she needed money from followers. The reality, as we spell out below, is that 90 Day Fiance stars don’t make much at all. It’s a little shocking, especially in contrast with the show’s solid ratings. Others blasted Danielle for asking for money when there are non-famous people who die because they didn’t receive enough donations to buy insulin. Folks, Danielle is not responsible for that. Direct your anger at the companies that charge ludicrous amounts for a cheaply produced life-saving medicine. Or maybe direct your anger at a government that looks the other way instead of ensuring that all citizens have healthcare. Danielle is only in charge of Danielle, and she needed to pay her rent.

And with House Democrats in January taking control of committees directly involved with investigating the president, some incoming committee chairs have talked about the possibility of impeachment. But going after Trump in 2019 was not a priority of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), the group’s newly elected chair Rep. Karen Bass told NewsOne on Monday. “Impeachment is not going to be top on our agenda,” the California congresswoman said during a brief phone conversation. “It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen. But at this point in time, we really think that some of the things our community needs are way more important than us going after impeachment now.” Bass’ comments came ahead of an Associated Press report that Democrats were toning down their aggressive rhetoric about impeaching Trump. At least immediately. See Also: Elijah Cummings Vows Evenhanded Investigation Of Trump Instead Of Dragging The President On Friday, Mueller’s office released findings from its investigation of Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, including damning that Trump was “at the center of a massive fraud,” New York Rep. Jerry Nadler , the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, recently told the AP . Cohen admitted to overseeing illegal hush money payment to women who allegedly had sexual affairs with Trump in violation of campaign laws. Mueller’s filing also revealed previously unreported contacts between Trump associates and Kremlin representatives seeking to help the Republican nominee secure victory. “There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” California Rep. Adam Schiff , who’s expected to chair the House intelligence committee in January, said Sunday. Still, many Democrats were cautious . For one thing, while they will control the House, Democrats will need Republicans’ support in the Senate to remove Trump. That could be a long way off given how partisan members of Congress have been under Trump. There was also concern about a political backlash similar to what happened to Republicans when they tried to remove President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s. “I think impeachment might be something we are forced to do as more evidence comes out, but it doesn’t make sense for us to go there first when there’s no way it would be successful now,” Bass said. One of Bass’ top priority as CBC chair was protecting voting rights for African-Americans, pointing to the gubernatorial election that was stolen from Stacey Abrams in Georgia and the ongoing voter fraud scandal in North Carolina. “We have so much to do, given the last two years of this administration,” she said. “There has been no accountability, where we see him systematically go after gains our community achieved decades ago.” SEE ALSO: Meet Tammy Kemp, The Black Judge Assigned To Amber Guyger Murder Trial For Killing Botham Jean Omarosa Takes A Swipe At John Kelly’s Dismissal As White House Chief Of Staff [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3839541″ overlay=”true”]
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 15 came to an end on Sunday night. With both a bang, and a lot of whimpering from the public over comments Kanye West made about slavery . Oh yeah: Kim Kardashian also met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Yes, that Donald Trump . The episode opened with a Kim explaining how she became moved and inspired the story of Alice Johnson . As explained to Kourtney, this was a woman who had been sentenced to a life sentence for a nonviolent first-time drug offense. She had already served 21 years of this stint. Kim became involved in the case after reaching out and offering to assist, and she was determined to convince the President that Johnson deserved clemency. “My first phone call was to Ivanka [Trump],” Kim said in a testimonial, adding: “She connected me with her husband Jared [Kushner]. They’ve asked me to go and talk to Trump about why Alice should get out.” Kardashian also said she told Kushner that she was a Hillary Clinton supporter in 2016 — but that this issue goes beyond party affiliation. In the middle of planning her White House visit and traveling to New York for the Met Ball, however, Kim had to deal with one of the children in her life. No, not Saint, North or Chicago. We’re talking about Kanye. During an appearance on TMZ Live, the idiotic rapper said the following: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years … for 400 years? That sounds like a choice .” Kris Jenner was actually scheduled to appear on Ellen just as news of Kanye’s rant broke; but Corey Gamble encouraged her to cancel. But the matriatch wasn’t having it. “I just want to make everything better,” Kris told Corey in the Ellen greenroom. “You know me, I want everybody to get along, I want everybody to be happy, I want everybody to understand one another and communicate.” In a solo interview with the E! cameras, Kris explained: “Even though Kanye went on TMZ this morning and made some controversial comments, my loyalty really lies with Kanye.” Later, while preparing for the Met Gala in her New York City hotel room, Kim opened up to Jonathan Cheban about West’s words actions. “Everyone thinks he’s having a breakdown,” she said. “When I saw the clip, I rushed home, I was hysterically crying. So I go home, he’s totally fine.” Typical Kanye, right? “The thing is, when he gets ramped up, he can’t control what he says, he can’t let it go. But he loves being ramped up,” Kim continued. “He’s like, ‘I feel powerful when I’m ramped up. I don’t want to be so suppressed. Yeah, I say crazy sh-t, but I’ve always said crazy sh-t. That’s why I’m Kanye.'” But Kim only had so much time to deal with Kanye’s latest controversy. She had to go into full-on business mode upon traveling to the White House with attorney Shawn Holley, the lawyer who famously represented Lindsay Lohan during her 2013 legal battle. Holley described the meeting with Trump with Kim, saying on air: “It was a lot of chit-chatting. They talked a little bit about Khloe on The Celebrity Apprentice.” There was also “a lot of Kanye talk” because West had also garnered backlash for supporting the MAGA movement. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Meets with Donald Trump (And Twitter Can’t Handle It) Finally, a few days after this White House meeting, Kim learned that Johnson had been freed from prison. Johnson, who later appeared in the episode as Kim flew to Tennessee to meet her, broke into tears and referred to Kim as an “angel.” As for her sit-down with Trump, Kim later told her lawyer: “This has nothing to do with politics. I don’t really know anything. This just has to do with getting in front of the person that is the only person in the world that can make this decision and try to change their mind.” Kim delivers the life-altering news of her freedom to Alice Johnson in this photograph/scene. And as for the past 12 months of her life? After some time chilling at home with her semi-insane husband, Kim said the following to conclude Season 15: “Every time I think I’ve had a crazy year, I live the next year and it’s even crazier.”
With The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 in the can, there’s one thing that’s become abundantly clear about the most recent season: Shannon Beador does not like any of the new additions to the cast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you already know the long-term cast member blatantly ignores Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter whenever they try to talk to her. Gina claimed on Sunday’s reunion show that Shannon is “an open book of bulls–t.” Gina was tired of the back and forth with Shannon and felt like the recently single housewife was lying about everything, all while putting on a show for the cameras. According to Gina, Shannon called her up and said the following: “I have a history of not remembering things, and I’m in a custody case, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose my children. I wanna know what was said.” As you may recall, Gina was the one who told Shannon what was said about her after her meltdown in Jamaica. That thinly veiled attempt at finding a friend while throwing another under the bus did not go unnoticed, and Shannon assumed Tamra Judge was the person talking about her. Gina said during the reunion that she even offered to bring up the comments in front of the other woman to prove she was telling the truth but added that Shannon told her to leave it. Andy Cohen interjected and asked whether that was the truth, but Shannon essentially called Gina a liar. “Yes, you did! You’re lying!” Gina screamed, adding: “Maybe it’s your selective memory? All I know is that you told me you were gonna lose your kids, and I felt bad for you and told you what was said.” “I was in the middle of a divorce. There was no custody issue then!” Shannon fired back. “I’m going through a custody issue now. Don’t put words in my mouth!” “DON’T SAY WORDS! YOU ARE AN OPEN BOOK OF BULLSHIT!” Gina yelled back. “IT IS RIDICULOUS! PAGES AND PAGES! NOBODY WANTS TO READ IT ANYMORE!” “I was just trying to help you!” Gina continued. “All your friends talked about you being mentally ill on that trip.” Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson went on to say that everyone deals with things differently. Maybe they were trying to throw some support Shannon’s way, or something, but it fell flat. Tamra then chimed in and stood up for her former BFF. She felt like Gina should not have said anything about it because Shannon was recovering for surgery and not in the best state of mind. “I am sorry I brought it up. Shannon, I promise you I feel bad for you,” Gina said in response. “I really do. And I promise you, on a level, I understand what you’re going through.” “I’m sorry. I’m really not trying to make a problem for anybody, and anybody who knows me knows I don’t go with malice in my heart,” Gina continued. “I feel terrible for you and what you’re going through. I’m going through it, too. It sucks. I promise you. I got my heart broken, too, okay? In my heart, at the time, I was just checking in. Looking back on it now, I think it was bad timing.” “I accept your apology,” said Shannon as though she had to force herself to say it. Okay then.

A Black British soccer player ignored the racist abuse yelled at him from a fan but commented on how it was fueled by the racial bias of some media outlets, which is also seen in the United States. SEE ALSO: Texas Official Defends Racist Stereotype: ‘You Can’t Count On A Black Quarterback’ England and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling said Sunday that irresponsible media outlets to “fuel racism” through their portrayal of young Black soccer players, the Guardian reported. His remarks appeared on social media after the police launched an investigation into a fan of the opposing team who was recorded on video at Saturday’s match allegedly yelling a racial slur at Sterling. It happened in the first half of a match against Chelsea when Sterling went to pick up the ball in front of the stands. “…For all the newspapers that don’t understand why people are racists in this day and age, all I have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity and give all players an equal chance,” Sterling wrote on Instagram . BT are apparently investigating the footage of Sterling being racially abused. 1st time I saw this pic i thought Sterling was laughing in their faces whilst they shouted. I hope that’s what he did. Look how angry they are. No place for this venom in football #MCFC #Sterling pic.twitter.com/WVs5oo7yOb — Paul McGarraghy (@PaulMcGarraghy) December 8, 2018 In his media post, Sterling gave the example of a young Black player who was criticized in a newspaper article for “splashing” his salary on a mansion before he even played his first professional match. Sterling said the rookie buying a house for his mother was the right thing to do, but Sterling also noted that the paper failed to criticize a young white player who did the same thing. “This young Black kid is looked at in a bad light,” Sterling stated. A University of Missouri researcher in 2015 reported similar media racial bias in the United States on how athletes are covered. Stories on African-American athletes focus primarily on criminal actions while stories about white athletes are overwhelmingly positive. Among the findings, more than 66 percent of the crime stories involved Black athletes while only 22 percent involved white athletes. More than 70 percent of domestic violence stories involved Black athletes and only 17 percent involved white athletes. “True cultural sensitivity requires the eradication of racial and ethnic stereotyping; thus, journalists and reporters must reflect on how their own unfounded beliefs about race differences in sports likely contribute to the stereotyping of black athletes as engaged in more criminal activity and innately physically gifted yet lacking in intelligence and strong work ethics,” the researcher Cynthia Frisby said. By Sunday morning, the authorities had not arrested the fan. “We are aware of a video circulating online in which it is claimed racial abuse was allegedly directed at a player … We will review the footage to determine whether any offences have been committed,” a statement from the Metropolitan police said.

Source: Robert Alexander / Getty David Stringer Doesn’t See A Problem With His Racist Comments An Arizona state legislator with a long history of anti-immigrant comments is facing calls to resign after he told university students that black people “don’t blend in” to society like European immigrants do. Representative David Stringer, who represents the Yavapai County area, made the comments after a public lecture at Arizona State University on November 19, during which a history professor, Donald Critchlow, discussed the 2018 midterm elections. Mr. Critchlow said that the students recorded a “private conversation” they had with Mr. Stringer after the lecture, which was sent to local news outlets last week. In said recordings, Mr. Stringer can be heard saying that he doesn’t think America is a “successful nation.” He follows up by saying that “diversity is relatively new” in our country, and that while European immigrants assimilated to society, “that’s not the case with African-Americans or other racial groups because they don’t melt in.” He continued on to say that this was connected to “white flight” and people moving out of Detroit and Baltimore. Stringer said that immigration was affecting states like Arizona in a “dramatic way.” He claimed that it cost more to educate children who don’t speak English as their first language, which he described as a “burden” on taxpayers. He also said that he wants to slow down immigration because it is happening too fast. The context of the conversation and how it began were not immediately clear from these recordings. Since his comments became public, there has been widespread condemnation of Stringer’s words. The Prescott City Council voted 6 to 1 to pass a resolution asking for Mr. Stringer’s resignation. David Stringer says he doesn’t intend to resign for his comments, though–because to him, it’s all true, he explained to the Prescott Valley Town Council on Thursday evening. “I believe that everything I‘ve said, if you look at what I actually said, is defensible, that it is truthful, that it is factually accurate, that it can be supported by academic research,” the Republican said. Though calls for his resignation have been made, not a single Republican in the Arizona House has called for Stringer’s resignation.
T here’s an old saying: what goes around comes around. That’s how Omarosa Manigault Newman responded to news that the White House chief of staff John Kelly , who fired Omarosa last year, was ousted from his job. The former reality TV star called Kelly’s dismissal “karma.” SEE ALSO: Omarosa Kept Away From Trump As John Kelly Limits Oval Office Access President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Kelly will leave his job by the end of this year. Kelly was increasingly isolated in the White House and lost favor with the president, according to the Associated Press . “John Kelly will be leaving — I don’t know if I can say retiring — but he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. We’ll be announcing who will be taking John’s place — it might be on an interim basis. I’ll be announcing that over the next day or two, but John will be leaving at the end of the year. … I appreciate his service very much,” the president stated. #karma https://t.co/GioEfHOF2B — OMAROSA (@OMAROSA) December 8, 2018 In December 2017, Kelly fired Omarosa who worked at the White House as an aide to Trump. Omarosa provided NBC News with an audio recording in August of Kelly firing her in the Situation Room. “It’s come to my attention over the last few months that there’s been some pretty, in my opinion, significant integrity issues,” Kelly told Omarosa. She took it as a threat when Kelly suggested that a smooth exit from the White House would help her reputation. “I think it’s important to understand that if we can make this a friendly departure we can all be, you know, you can look at your time here in the White House as a year of service to the nation, and then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation,” Kelly said on the tape. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps four-star general came to the White House in June 2017 after serving briefly as Trump’s homeland security secretary. He was expected to be the adult in the room and bring order to the chaotic White House. His no-nonsense approach to managing the White House and who had access to the president alienated some Trump allies, causing him to become isolated to have a diminished role, according to the Associated Press. At the same time, he openly talked about the tribulations of working for the president, which angered Trump. During this time at the White House, Kelly created controversy when he tried to slander Florida’s Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson , who was feuding with Trump over his mistreatment of Army Sgt. La David Johnson ’s widow Myeshia Johnson . Kelly also ignited controversy when he disregarded slavery as a cause of the Civil War and praised Confederate General Robert E. Lee during an interview with Fox News.
