Source: Sean Zanni / Getty Wale has always been forthcoming about dealing with anxiety and this week was no different, as the rapper joked about a new single he has coming. “My new single called ‘I’m not really good at social events cuz everybody hates me in my mind and that is the root of anxiety so imagine having to live in your head n ppl ask you for pics and you tryna love yourself more but it’s hard because you dealin wit shyt’ drops in 4 weeks,” he tweeted. He told MTV back in 2015 that he worries about his every move being criticized . “I get anxiety because somebody always feels like you didn’t give them the proper greeting,” he explained, adding “that stuff has been a hindrance to me, because some people would come back and say ‘Wale was rude.’ Your every move, your every mannerism is being watched. And to think about it, it makes me sweat and my heart beats fast. I’m under a microscope all the time.” See his tweet about social anxiety below, plus one more about him having an album release party in a library so people can’t talk to him. Apparently, he really does have a single coming in four weeks, though, so stay tuned.

Bethenny Frankel has had enough. Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City found her confronting someone she helped save not too long ago. If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you know that Bethenny was instrumental in helping co-star Luann de Lesseps realize she needed to seek help for alcohol abuse. Bethenny revealed during the new installment that she thought Luann was being obnoxious, and not caring about any of the other ladies. She also took aim at her cabaret show. Bethenny was not impressed to learn that Luann was bashing her for leaving her cabaret show early. The show in question went ahead hours late, and Luann did not tell her co-stars about it being late. To everyone, Bethenny showed up for as long as she could. Luann, on the other hand, could not say a nice word about Bethenny. Luann said that she wished Bethenny would have stayed for the show. “I mean, I love you, but I was there for three hours. I had to let my babysitter go,” Frankel replied said, before going for the jugular. “[Dorinda] told me you said, ‘Why is she leaving to go home and watch Bryn sleep?'” “Well, because I imagine a child at 8 years old by 11:30 is sleeping,” Luann shot back. “Right, but then guess what? Tomorrow’s school,” Bethenny added. “So I would like to watch her wake up. And also, I don’t have a nanny. I have a housekeeper that I have babysit, so I don’t like to keep her there until 1 o’clock in the morning if she has to be there the next day.” Luann went on to say that Bethenny was there for her when she needed it, in her sad times, but she also wanted her to be there during the happy times. “Luann, I’m a mother of an 8-year-old in third grade. It’s Halloween. I was trick-or-treating after school,” Bethenny said. “Really, hear me. I need you to actually receive this. I’m a mom, I come home…” “I know that. I’m a mom, too. Don’t talk to me like I’m not a mom! I know what it is,” Luann yelled. Bethenny wanted Luann to understand that her kids were not 8, but Luann said they once were. “You told me when we were in Miami for Art Basel that I should just get somebody to take care of my kid at night when I don’t wanna do that,” Bethenny fired back. “Well, yeah,” Luann complained. “When you wanna go out, sure.” “But I don’t wanna go out at 11:30 at night!” Bethenny said, completely shocked at the way Luann was acting. “I wouldn’t go see Madonna at 11:30 at night!” “You always say you have to get home for Bryn. At 11 o’clock at night, the child is sleeping!” Lu continued. “But I have to wake up with her to make her breakfast and take her to school!” B shouted. “This is my life. You’re doing your cabaret and your life, and I respect that. I was there supporting that. I’m living my life, and you’re not supporting it by saying to somebody, ‘She left to watch her daughter sleep.’ This is my life the way that I’m living it right now.” “Who do you think you are?!” Bethenny screamed in a confessional. “This is how I’m choosing to do this as a single mom, and I don’t like to be f–ked with on it — at all!” Ugh. That was wild. What are your thoughts on the argument? RHONY continues Wednesdays on Bravo. View Slideshow: Bethenny Frankel: Quitting The Real Housewives of New York City Over Dennis Shields’ Death?
On Tuesday night’s episode of Little People, Big World , Amy Roloff felt bullied and pressured by her ex-husband. Matt wants her to make a decision, but Amy wants to weigh all of her options with a major decision like giving up her home. But some fans and viewers have grown impatient, and they’re putting Amy on blast for not making up her mind already. “I just want to make the best decision,” Amy explains of her reluctance to commit to either staying or going. “Moving out of a house that I never really thought I’d move out of years ago …” she says. Amy confesses that “to think about that now is a little daunting.” “It is a little scary,” she notes. “It’s a little intimidating” Amy admits that she feels this way “because I’ve never been on my own before.” Matt was feeling impatient, and even accused Amy of being “selfish.” Unfortunately, some very outspoken fans felt the same way. They took to Amy’s Instagram comments to let her know how they really feel about her dragging her heels on making this major decision. “Keep your house. Not fair to have lived with your kids coming back there until they moved on and now you’re alone and don’t want it. You’re selfish” ” You seem mean and controlling even though you divorced Matt you want to try and control his destiny! .” “Watching tonight and all I can say is make up your dam mind,” one angry fan comments. The viewer writes: “even your kids say the same” “And why should Matt have to give up the side of the farm he’s been on for 3 years?” the comment asks. “He didn’t want the DW but had no choice and after 3 years you wAnt it ?” the fan expresses. The comment concludes: “I’d tell you to go pound sand.” “I think you need to move to someplace else,” suggests another comment. “Or,” the fan speculates. “You have FOMO syndrome.” Amy is very clearly experiencing a degree of fear of missing out . “You ask for the divorce and you start dating,” the follower writes. “You have to move on with you life.” The viewer reassures Amy that “you kids always going to be there no matter where you move.” “And,” the fan admonishes. “Stop playing the victim card.” “I watch the show faithfully and I’m a huge fan,” another comment begins. “But I must say that it’s 5 episodes that Matts been waiting for a response on the farm,” the fan notes. “Just settle it and be done,” the commenter demands. “The poor guys been waiting for over a month on your response,” the follower expresses. “And,” the fan accuses. “I think it’s pretty selfish of you to throw Matt out of his current house so you can move in.” Matt is not as mobile as Amy. That’s a fair point. We have to say that we understand where (most) of the comments are coming from. It can be difficult to watch someone be indecisive, especially when it’s drawn out for so long on television. A lot of fans have already decided that they know what is best for both Roloff grandparents. Others have simply chosen sides. But Amy’s point — that this has been her home for a long time, and that she has never been on her own before — makes a lot of sense. Moving is a huge decision for most people. It’s very fair that she doesn’t like feeling rushed. Eventually, though, she will have to decide. View Slideshow: Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler Share Special Photo, Spark Engagement Chatter
Even though Britney Spears checked out of her mental health facility and is back at home, fans still have questions about her troubles. Cardi B doesn't have questions, though — she has a powerful message of support in a recent interview. Like the rest of us, Cardi is a Britney stan first and a person second. Shortly after Britney Spears checked out of the mental healthcare facility, she was shown on video working out to Cardi's music. “It's so dope!” Cardi exclaims in an interview with Entertainment Tonight . She explains that she felt so honored “because I'm a very big Britney Spears fan.” Cardi also shares an anecdote about using the lyrics to “Piece of Me” to boost her confidence because “b–ches used to hate on me in high school.” Through Britney, all things are possible. She's a comfort to many. Cardi would also love to “one day” collaborate with Britney on a song. The world would also greatly enjoy that, just, you know, for the record. Cardi is then asked if she has a message that she would like to give to Britney at this difficult time. “I love you!” Cardi begins. “And,” she adds. “I totally understand.” “Fame,” Cardi asserts. “Will drive you insane.” Britney checked into the facility to deal with her mental health after her father's ongoing health crisis. “Not only will fame drive you insane,” Cardi notes. “But it’s like, once you have money … everybody wants to take it from you” She then laments the way that people in her circle will try to get her hard-earned money from her. Britney recently increased her monthly child support payments to baby daddy Kevin Federline by a tremendous amount. But there's more to it than fame and merely needing to pay, Cardi admits. “Sometimes,” she recalls. “Like, if you just have your own personal problems, when you’re a celebrity, everybody want to sue you.” “Everybody want a piece of the money that you worked for,” Cardi laments. “It’s very frustrating,” she expresses. And she notes that it's only part of the equation. “And then you have like the whole world looking at you and no privacy,” Cardi observes. She opines: “It’s crazy.” Cardi's next line could be interpreted as “shady,” but we know that she means it in an honest and flattering way. “I can’t imagine if you do it for such a long time like her,” Cardi marvels. Britney is a true champion. This is such a good interview, and it really shows Cardi playing to her strengths. She is an honest person who will speak her mind, whether she's slamming somebody or gushing about being a fan. There's a lot that we don't know about Britney's situation, but everything that Cardi said is true and could be contributing factors. The core of Cardi's words — that she loves and supports Britney — remain true. Even if her reminder that she was still a young teenager when “Piece of Me” came out … makes some of us feel centuries old.
Source: Erika Goldring / Getty Common recently revealed that he is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE , the Oscar winner told the publication that he had repressed the past abuse, but was triggered after being in the HBO film The Tale . “One day, while talking through the script with Laura, old memories surprisingly flashed in my mind,” he wrote. “I caught my breath and just kept looping the memories over and over, like rewinding an old VHS tape… I said, ‘Laura, I think I was abused.’” The rapper’s also recalls his abuse in his new memoir Let Love Have the Last Word , which goes into detail about being molested at the age of 9, 10-years-old by a family member. “I was excited for a road trip I was about to take with my family,” he recalled. “My mother; my godmother, Barbara; her son and my god brother Skeet; and his relative, who I’ll call Brandon.” View this post on Instagram Came home to find this waiting on me. Can't wait to start reading it. I should finished reading it by the weekend. #Common #thinkcommon A post shared by Lisa D (@weaverdickerson) on May 7, 2019 at 2:04pm PDT Common, 47, said that the relative sexually assaulted him at their aunt’s home in Cleveland one night on their trip. “At some point, I felt Brandon’s hand on me,” he wrote. “I pushed him away. I don’t remember saying a whole lot besides, ‘No, no, no.’” He added that no matter how much he begged him to stop, his abuser only continued to assault him. “He kept saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,’ as he pulled down my shorts and molested me,” he said. “After he stopped, he kept asking me to perform it on him. I kept repeating ‘No’ and pushing him away. I felt a deep and sudden shame for what happened.” Common revealed that’s he’s been in therapy to help him deal with the past abuse. “I just pushed the whole thing out of my head,” he admitted. “Maybe it’s a matter of survival — Even now, two years after that flash resurgence of memories, as I’m writing, I’m still working through all of this in myself and with my therapist.” The rapper-actor says that while he hasn’t seen “Brandon” in 25 years, he has forgiven him. “I want to be a person who helps break cycles of violence,” he writes. “This is love in action and I intend to practice it.” It’s rare that Black celebrity men come out as sexual abuse survivors, and we need more to follow in Common’s brave footsteps. We pray he continues to heal and hopefully his story will help others seek professional help as well. Thank you Common for your courage.

Two months ago, Tasha Rosenbrook bravely asked for help as Leida Margaretha destroyed her life for a second time. Fans opened their hearts and wallets and donated, but now Tasha has announced that she's refunding them. Why? Because Leida has won. Tasha can't keep fighting. Leida Margaretha marched into Tasha's home and took everything from her — not only her father, but her apartment. Tasha had to move, and she spoke her mind — on 90 Day Fiance and on social media. Leida retaliated by securing a restraining order against Tasha for “harassment.” That means four years before Tasha can even try to bridge the gap that Leida created between father and daughter. Fans of Tasha's, plus people who just hate Leida, contributed to her GoFundMe to help her fight the restraining order in court. In a new video shared on social media, Tasha explains why that legal battle has come to an end. “We are here to update you finally on what’s going on,” Tasha says. “Unfortunately, there’s no good news here.” “So firstly, I would like to say that yes, the money from the GoFundMe did go towards the lawyer,” Tasha clarifies. “But she refunded all the money that we gave her,” she reveals. Tasha explains that this happened “because she decided to withdraw from my case about two weeks ago.” Tasha explains the attorney's decision: “she felt like she didn’t quite have what it took to do a restraining order case,” “And not only that,” the video notes. “But in order to reopen the original case we’d have to appeal to a higher court.” “Which,” it is revealed. “Would cost almost $10,000.” “It’s not that we didn’t have new evidence to present,” Tasha's roommate Jan explains. “Tasha doesn’t have the money,” she says plainly. “That’s a lot of money.” “We are giving everyone the chance to request their refund from the GoFundMe,” Jan continues. “Tasha doesn’t have thousands of dollars to take this to the state level and get new evidence presented to a new judge,” she explains. “But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to try to get her security deposit back, Eric,” Jan warns. Tasha lived in the apartment before Eric moved in as a roommate and ultimately forced her to leave to please Leida. That's not one side of the story — horrified viewers watched Leida gleefully make that arrangement on camera. “I’m not happy about it,” Tasha expresses. “I’m not withdrawing because I want to.” Another obstacle is that the statute of limitations on harassment has passed. “Too much time has passed,” Jan says. “And there hasn’t been any bashing of Tasha that we know of on social media.” “It’s not because we weren’t trying,” the video clarifies. “It’s just things weren’t working out.” “We can and can’t quite look at other lawyers,” Tasha admits. “Because honestly, between Jan and I, we’ve called about 50 at least lawyers in the area.” “No one really wants to take the case,” she laments. “Mainly because of social media.” “And also because there really aren’t a lot of lawyers willing to do harassment,” she adds, noting the exception of more expensive lawyers. “It’s just a mess,” Tasha bemoans. “It’s going to cost thousands of dollars for the new retainer if I wanted to reopen the case.” “And then it’s going to cost who knows how much more for a new lawyer too,” the roommates fear. “Plus if I found a lawyer outside of my county,” Tasha notes. “I’d have to pay for them to travel.” “It’s just not worth my mental health anymore,” she expresses. There's more than one way for Leida to win. If Tasha is (more) broken emotionally and financially, that's a win for Leida. We should note that, though Tasha has fared the worst since Leida began lashing out at her “enemies,” she's not the only target. In recent months, a number of Instagram accounts have become targets. According to complaints lodged by Reality Diggers and others, Leida has been reporting any mention of her as “copyright infringement.” This is a powerful tactic for silencing any criticism or mention of her. Reporting someone for harassment or impersonation can take ages. But social media platforms are terrified of copyright lawsuits. Leida has been chasing these blogs into hiding with her reports. And Instagram has rewarded her with the blue check mark of verification.
