Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty It’s not a secret that Dennis McKinley and Porsha Williams‘ relationship is on the rocks, but McKinley is denying that any of their problems are a result of infidelity. See, it all started when YouTuber Tasha K accused the 38-year-old of having an affair with “WAGS Atlanta” star Sincerely Ward . According to Page Six , the RHOA reality star and his rep claim he’s never met Ward and they plan to take legal action. “These false and slanderous allegations against me are made solely to damage my reputation, jeopardize my ongoing businesses, and negatively impact my family,” McKinley said. “My attempts to ignore this slander have only empowered Latasha Kebe (aka Tasha K.) to create more false accusations. I am currently taking legal action — and am currently being represented by Michael T. Sterling of Dreyer Sterling, LLC.” McKinley’s lawyer added, “I handle legal matters in the court of law, not the court of public opinion and I will take whatever appropriate measures I can to defend Dennis’ good name.” Ward also swears this rumor is a bold-faced lie and that she wouldn’t get involved with type of “trash.” “I literally have absolutely no clue [how this rumor started]. I just noticed maybe a couple days ago, like weird ghost accounts started coming after me or saying, ‘I’m happy for you and Dennis’ and some weird stuff,’” she told Page Six. “Number one, I know Porsha and I respect Porsha and I would never be involved in this kind of trash. Number two, I’ve never met this guy a day in my life … I don’t know how my name got thrown into it.” Here are some pics of Ward: View this post on Instagram #FBF to #atlantacarnival2019 last week with my little cousin Millie and Mz Shyneka!

The influencer claims she received the information about the alleged affair from a well-trusted source. In a different video, Tasha K. accused McKinley “is allegedly a get-rich-quick scheme artist,” allegedly a coke head” and “allegedly a woman beater.” So messy!!! As we know, in March Porsha welcomed Pilar Jhena . The RHOA star has yet to confirm if she is still with the father of her child.

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital After years of fighting, it looks like Meek Mill has finally been granted a new hearing in front of a new court. The request was granted Monday, according to court documents. Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill has been granted a new hearing in front of a new court, a milestone his legal team has been pursuing for years. The news comes just two weeks after the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office filed an appeal with the Pennsylvania Superior Court asking for a new trial with a new judge. “We’re looking forward to the oral argument before the Superior Court of Pennsylvania and to, hopefully, having Meek’s conviction vacated,” Mill’s attorney Jordan Siev said in a statement. “In light of the District Attorney’s recent filing, where he supports the granting of a new trial to Meek and the recusal of Judge Brinkley, we hope to have this injustice rectified once and for all.” D.A. Wants Meek Mill To Have A New Trial, In Front Of A New Judge The ongoing battle between Meek’s legal team, which has called for Judge Brinkley to recuse herself from the case, and continues to refuse. According to NBC 10 : At the center of Mill’s legal battle is former Philadelphia police officer Reginald Graham, who is among a group of officers on an internal “Do Not Call” to testify list kept by the district attorney’s office. He was the sole officer to testify when Mill, whose legal name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, was first arrested on gun and drug charges in 2007. Since then, Graham’s credibility has been called into question. Several other cases involving the police officer have already been overturned, yet Mill’s conviction remains in place. Meek Mill Accepts Cosmopolitan Hotel’s Apology For Arrest Threat Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner highlighted the “”public perception of unfairness and bias” throughout Mills’ highly public trial, and instances where Brinkley overstepped her duties as a judge.” This story is developing.

Source: Stan Evans / Stan Evans Since ending her engagement with rapper Future back in 2014, Ciara has become the poster woman for fairy tale endings. She showed us how to move on from a toxic relationship and reminded us that sometimes the greatest love can come after the most devastating heartbreak. After splitting with the Atlanta rapper, Ciara went on to build a beautiful relationship and family with NFL superstar, Russell Wilson, and together the two have become #RelationshipGoals right in front of our very eyes (and social media timelines). On the latest episode of Red Table Talk , the Smith-Pinkett ladies sat down with the queen of “leveling Up” herself to discuss transforming her “not so pleasant experiences” she went through that all led up to the pure bliss she’s in today. She revealed everything from her feelings of pain after ending her first engagement to the moment she realized that calmness meant that her now husband was the one. She even shared the highly anticipated “Ciara Prayer” that she prayed to bring a man like Russell into her life. Ciara’s positivity is admirable and after watching her open up to RTT ladies, we can’t help but to love her journey from emotional scars to “Beauty Marks” even more. So many gems were dropped during the ladies’ 25-minute chat at the red table, but here are a few key takeaways that we absolutely we love. Learn from All Your Mistakes and Experiences Although she never mentioned Future by name, Ciara opened up about the most painful aspect of her split from the rapper citing a combination of the breakup itself, the idea of being a single parent, the pressure from the public and the fact that none of it was an ideal situation for her or her son as the reasons why her break up was so hard. It was only after she began to learn from her experience that she was able to move forward and attain the happiness she desired. Her revelation that “time does not stop” and her fear of “wasting time” is what helped her start the healing process as she realized that it would be worse to stay in an unhealthy situation that wasn’t going to get any better. “Knowing what you don’t want is really important, because it creates clarity”, Ciara mentioned. From this experience, she was able to start making different decisions and learn the type of love she wanted for her and her son. Loving Yourself Is Huge Ciara recalled that the moment she realized it was time to end her relationship [with Future] and stand on her own was the same moment she made a commitment to love herself first. “I remember one time I was working out on the elliptical machine and I was just not sure about do I stay or what direction do I go? What’s the right thing to do? It’s easy to do this, but is the easy thing the right thing?” Ciara said. She explained how taking their son, Future, on vacation helped her gain confidence in herself to walk away from that situation. It was then that she committed to loving herself first because once she truly learned to love herself she was able to be loved the way she deserved and most importantly, she was able to give love the right way. “The Prayer” During the fishbowl question segment of the show, a fan got right to the point and asked Ciara, “what was the specific prayer you prayed to get Russell? Hook a sister up!” While blushing, Ciara revealed what she prayed for during that time, stating, “when you pray for things you should be very specific and very clear about what you want, to the point that you can taste it”. She continued, “you can feel it through your bones and body. It’s a very spiritual thing because you’re getting lost by praying and speaking and declaring what you want in your life”. Ciara went on to explain that she prayed that she would learn from the wisdom she gained, for discernment, for a God-fearing man and for someone that loved kids. As Jada interjected, she mentioned that a man shouldn’t be a good man for you, but rather he should be a better man for himself, first. Listen and take notes, ladies! The latest episode of “Red Table Talk” featuring Ciara is available on Facebook Watch now.

Source: Jessica Alexander/Future Image/WENN.com / WENN The Hip-Hop world lost one of its most talented acts in Mac Miller last year, and the void left by the Pittsburgh artist has been massive. Jet Life Creative Director CJ Wallis announced he was putting together footage for an upcoming documentary to honor the life of the late rapper. Deadline reports : Filmmaker and Jetlife Creative Director CJ Wallis announced today via Twitter that Margrette Bird Pictures, a film company he found with Mallory Kennedy, is working on a documentary about the late rapper Mac Miller. “So, over the next year I’m going to start collecting interviews & content to make the definitive @MacMiller documentary for his family, friends & fans,” he tweeted Monday morning. Wallis then encouraged everyone to share the post and tag anyone who would be good to interview for the docu. The outlet adds that Wallis, who has worked alongside Curren$y and Jet Life affiliates Wiz Khalifa among others, wanted to put out the film via New Orleans-based Margrette Bird Pictures at an upcoming later date. However, the family has asked Wallias and Margrette Bird Pictures to hold off on the project. UPDATE: We tweeted our intentions to begin developing a doc on Mac over the next year. At the same time, we reached out to all those closest to him to begin the process of making it official. 1/4 — FORTYFPS FILMS (@fortyfps) June 4, 2019 We heard back from @christianclancy & The Estate who said the family has requested we hold off on the project at this time. We immediately compiled as the last thing we'd want is to negatively impact anyone involved, quite the opposite. 2/4 — FORTYFPS FILMS (@fortyfps) June 4, 2019 We felt comfortable announcing our intentions in advance of receiving permission because they were just that – intentions. The concept was peers telling their one favorite Mac story & cutting them together as a motivational & positive picture. Not a life story. 3/4 — FORTYFPS FILMS (@fortyfps) June 4, 2019 The outpouring of support for the doc and that it was us trying to make one was humbling, and in time perhaps we will get to see it through. For now, we have hours of incredible music and thats always been more than enough. Respect/Love…. #ripmac — FORTYFPS FILMS (@fortyfps) June 4, 2019 — Photo: WENN
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Nicole Nafziger plans to return to Morocco and marry Azan. She refuses to let hateful, negative comments from “fans” keep her down any longer. In a new post, Nicole is sharing how she keeps a positive attitude in the face of unending adversity. Nicole Nafziger treated her fans and followers to a gorgeous selfie showing off her new, short hair and the natural beauty of her face. “‘Love and peace of mind do protect us,'” Nicole quotes in the caption of this photo. “‘They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us,'” the quote continues. “‘To survive… to live now.'” “‘To have the courage to confront the each day,'” the quote concludes. Nicole then attributes the inspirational words to Bernie Siegel. (Side note: Nicole looks particularly breathtaking in this cobalt blouse and we cannot get enough of this pic) Though Nicole received the usual barrage of negativity under her positivity post, she also received praise from fans. “You look happy and at peace in this photo!” praises one fan. “That’s all that matters!” “You look so pretty!!!” another follower affirmed. “Don’t listen to the haters on this post.” Among the haters were people telling her that she’s foolish for her continued romance with Azan. In another recent picture, Nicole showed off what a fun and loving mom she is with her adorable daughter, May. “Our lives have been so colorful,” Nicole gushed in the caption. “From the beginning,” she wrote. “There have been twist and turns and you’ve been the bright shinning sun that keeps me going.” “I know things are a little crazy now my dear,” Nicole acknowledged. “But soon it will be just right.” Fans will be reassured that Nicole is admitting that her life is chaotic at the moment. “I want to give you every opportunity in life and more,” she promised. “To see the world and learn the cultures.” Translation: she hopes that her upcoming trip to Morocco will be educational for her daughter. “Discover the world and know its beauty,” Nicole added. “Take chances and never regret a thing,” she recommended.” “I love you,” Nicole concluded. “And I want to give you everything” Fans saw Nicole’s crushing disappointment on Sunday night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? She and Azan had planned a romantic getaway to Grenada, which was apparently the only country that Azan was allowed to visit. That fell through due to some vague “family emergency.” This summer, Nicole plans to move to Morocco, with May in tow, transplanting herself there. After she marries Azan, a ceremony that they’ve continued to postpone, she hopes to acquire a spousal visa so that he can live in the US with her. Some fans have real concerns about May and her education. Where will she go to school? Nicole assures them that things are well in hand, though a little research done by fans reveals that American schools there cost $9000 a year. It’s unclear how the former barista with a fiance who doesn’t work plans to pay that kind of hefty tuition. Other followers think that Azan is just trying to scam Nicole. While some of these doubters are confused by and suspicious of Azan’s strange cancelations and excuses, others have blamed Nicole for being “gullible.” If people would be nicer to Nicole, and find kinder ways to express their concerns if they have to send them at all, she wouldn’t need to “focus on the positive” so dang much.

Khloe Kardashian is sick, tired and simply not going to take it anymore. For some reason, over the past several days, chatter has intensified over the reality star’s relationship with Scott Disick. The two have always been pretty close friends, but now folks are wondering: Could they be something more? On at least one occasion, might Khloe have slept with Disick ? Talk of this possibility has grown strong once again after Kardashian posed with Scott at his birthday party last week and… well, that’s about it. That’s the only reason anyone seems to think Disick and Kardashian have actually hooked up. “Refuse to believe they’ve never shagged,” one social media user remarked upon seeing a photo of this pair together. And while Khloe initially responded to this statement with a sense of calm (“Just because two people are close don’t mean they have shagged before…”), she eventually couldn’t take it anymore. “The comment you made makes me feel sad for you. I feel sad for you because apparently you don’t have relationships in your life that can be completely platonic,” she eventually told this person, adding: “You don’t have relationships where someone genuinely loves and cares about you without wanting anything else besides a friendship.” Pretty well said, right? It does say something about someone if she thinks a guy would only be close to a gal because he either wanted to sleep with her or already had slept with her. Khloe continued in her takedown of this individual as follows: “Scott and I are family. Our family (Scott included) have experienced a ton together and we love each other fiercely because of it all. “I really pray that you have healthy loving relationships in your life. Where it’s an equal give-and-take relationship. “I hope you have some relationships in your life where ‘shagging’ is NOT involved.” We don’t think Khloe was holding a microphone when she wrote this — but she could easily have dropped one and walked away if so. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star recently gushed over The Lord in honor of his 36th birthday. This is what she wrote: I am so thankful to have such an incredible addition such as you to our family! We have come such a long way, you and I! I am so thankful for the person that you have grown into. I am thankful for every highs and lows because we have been through it all and we are closer than ever. I am proud to say that you are my brother and also one of my best friends! Have the best birthday Lord!! FOREVER the Lord and the Lady. Between this and ALL the crap Lamar Odom has been saying of late, it’s been a tough week for Khloe. We hope she hangs in there. View Slideshow: Scott Disick: Banging ALL of the Kardashians?!

Source: PlayStation / PlayStation Video game addiction affects alot of people and can be harmful. Finally it is being taken seriously by medical professionals. via: USAToday The World Health Organization made video game addiction an official mental health disorder. The Geneva-headquartered organization added “Gaming disorder” to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or “ICD-11,” which goes into effect in January 2022. The condition is included in the global medical guide within a section detailing disorders due to substance use or addictive behaviors, along with “Gambling disorder.” The ICD-11 describes “Gaming disorder” as recurrent video game playing that leads to “impaired control over gaming” and an “increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities,” despite “the occurrence of negative consequences.” [ione_media_gallery src=”http://foxync.com/” id=”3554484″ overlay=”true”]
