Remember the Missouri woman who suddenly appointed herself apartment security when she saw a Black man she didn’t know attempting to peacefully go home in the same complex she lived in? Welp, she’s been appropriately dragged via the internet, fired from her actual position in property management across town, and generally embarrassed for the last few days since the video went viral. #ApartmentPatty, or Hilary Thornton as her mama calls her, took to Fox2Now in STL to plead her case about how she’s not at all racist (just obnoxious and self-important?), mainly because she’s still legally married to some 50% Black man who doesn’t even like or speak to her anymore. Peep her fellow mayo meddler who openly admits that she purposefully prevents her neighbors from getting their mail or packages in a timely fashion because she refuses to let the UPS man in the door. *Eyeroll* Image via Michael /Heim/EyeEm/FGetty

Antonella Barba was maybe the most controversial contestant in American Idol history. And not much has changed for the former singer many years later. According to TMZ and other outlets, the Season 6 near- finalist was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with a felony. She is being held in jail without bond because she allegedly tried to sell over 100 grams of heroin. Yes, heroin . Not many other details are available at the moment, but Barba is looking at significant jail time if this really is the crime she is accused of committing and if she is found guilty. Here is her mug shot, courtesy of the Norfolk Sheriff’s Department; Despite finishing just outside the Top 12 on Season 6, Barba made numerous headlines in 2007 for a very different kind of scandal in which she found herself. She gained notoriety for posing in a wet t-shirt in the fountain of the World War II Memorial in D.C. — and also for allegedly having photos taken of her while she gave someone oral sex. Barba continued to be voted on to subsequent rounds during her run on Idol, stirring up quite a debate over whether she was earning the favor of viewers for her singing talent… … or for these more lewd and explicit exploits. We’ve blurred out the most private part of this photo, but here’s one of the pictures that got Barba in trouble back in the day: She was also arrested for shoplifting in New York City in 2011. She was charged with two misdemeanors at the time. Still, the following year, Barba appeared on an episode of Fear Factor. She has also acted in a number of short films since… had a small role in 2017’s All About the Money… and, earlier this year, she appeared on a “Where Are They Now?” segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! No one from Barba’s camp has commented on her arrest just yet. In related news… Fellow American Idol alum Haley Reinhart, – who also appeared on this same Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment- was arrested on one count of battery after getting into a bar fight in Chicago last year. Reinhart was found guilty in February. However, the judge agreed to strike the conviction from her record if she has no run-ins with the law in the next two years. We’ll update this story with more news as it breaks. As far as we know, Barba remains behind bars right now, pending an upcoming hearing. Let’s hope she turns her life around.

Kanye West headed home to Chicago to sit down with 107.5’s WGCI Morning Show today and while there he addressed a plethora of topics, including Trump , Drake and Pusha T ‘s beef, and even that unbelievable slavery was “a choice” comment. Earlier this month, ‘Ye seemed to have no idea how to respond when Jimmy Kimmel asked him what makes him think Donald Trump cares about black people—or, any people, for that matter. Now we finally got an answer. He said on the show, “I feel that [Trump] cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this. He will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he’s got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can’t be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community. So it’s something he’s gonna work towards, but we’re gonna have to speak to him.” As for his current relationship with Drake, Kanye said “It hits me in a really sensitive place…because you, like, hang around people and they come to your house and be around your family and this and that, and then they get mad about a beat and then send you purple demon emojis.” But it seems Kanye still has love for the rapper, who dissed him in the process of responding to Pusha T . “It ain’t no beef, ” he said, but he also adds, “I feel that it was insensitive for [Drake] to, in any way, stress me out in any way after TMZ, while I’m in Wyoming healing, pulling all the pieces together, working on my music. And you know, we’ll reconcile that one day because we got to, because we got work to do, and these voices is just too powerful.” He also swore he was not the person who told Pusha about Drake’s secret child . “Don’t pull me into that type of conversation,” Kanye said. “That’s what y’all don’t even understand. I’m ‘Ye, I got major things to do other than be telling him some information about Drake. I don’t sit around and do that. I honestly don’t care that much, in all honesty.” On another note, he finally apologized for his comment about slavery . “I have never really approached or addressed the slavery comment fully, and it’s not something for me to over-intellectualize,” he said to WGCI. “This is something about the fact that it hurt people’s feelings and the way that I presented that piece of information. I could present in a way more calm way, but I was ramped up. And I apologize. That happens sometimes when people are…I’m not blaming mental health, but I’m explaining mental health.” He added, “I don’t know if I properly apologized for how the slavery comment made people feel. I’m sorry for the one-two of the MAGA hat into the slavery comment. And I’m sorry for people who felt let down by that moment.” Watch the interview for yourself in the clips up top and hit the flip to see how folks are responding.
