#MeToo: Neisha Neshae Alleges Music Producer Detail Touched Her Inappropriately During Song Session

Posted on July 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: @NeishaNeshae / Araya Diaz / Getty Get this creep out of here! Neisha Neshae Recounts Sexual Misconduct Involving Noel “Detail” Fisher Another singer is coming forward with claims that Music Producer Noel Fisher BKA Detail is an alleged sexual predator. Previously singers Jesse Reyes, Bebe Rexha and more accused Detail (who produced ‘Drunk In Love’, ‘We Dem Boyz’ etc.) of sexual misconduct, rape, and sexual abuse. Neisha Neshae shared a lengthy excerpt on Instagram, detailing how the slick producer allegedly tried to groom her during a studio session. Neisha says he came into the booth where she was working and started touching all over her body, insisting she continued to sing. A previous victim of sexual abuse, Neisha says she froze, eventually leaving without her music and never to be contacted by the producer with her songs again. I wasn’t going to ever do this … buttt I gotta get it off my chest , y’all remember when I went to work with detail in LA. (Mind you my team of 4 men were there with me) I was there for 12 hours, I recorded 9 records he wrote. I have not seen or heard not one of those songs. Not only that, he DID come into the booth while I was WORKING, touching on me & trying to convince me to keep working amidst that. Not only had I felt undervalued he would ever try me but there were 4 people with me that would’ve body bagged this dude over this sh*t. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know what to say… having experienced being molested as a child I was frozen & hurt… and I was even more sick I never got my songs.. probably because I didn’t throw my p*ssy. Which I ain’t never had to do to get where I am… so – If you’re in the industry you KNOW it’s a game where people will try you ! If that’s something you’re into to get where you’re going WHATEVER , but it’s not my cup of tea… & Keep people around you who protect you and care for your well being because I honestly don’t know what would’ve happened if I would’ve been alone. I love y’all See Neisha’s  Instagram post blasting Detail HERE . I’ve seen and been through a lot of shit, & It has broken me down before, BUT ILL NEVER FOLD. — R&B Trap (@NeishaNeshae) July 8, 2019 Neisha Neshae is a talented singer-songwriter and is determined to win, despite the trauma. On her newest single “Love Life” she touches on the ups and downs of her career, including facing obstacles in the music industry. “I was lost, now I’m trynna find my way back. I done made mistakes that I wish I could take back. Everybody loves someone they wish they could bring back. Facing up my days, running to that money ASAP. I’m just trynna make it a place where I can love life. Yeah.” Back in December, Detail was hit with a lawsuit from one of his alleged sexual assault victims Kristina Buch . Buch accuses Detail of sexually and mentally abusing her over a two-year period, also claiming the beat maker used his influence to keep her in line throughout their professional relationship. What do YOU think can be done to get this man to STOP doing this to other women?

Disney Defends Halle By Roasting Racist #NotMyAriel Folks In One Instagram Post

Posted on July 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read this article:

Source: AFP Contributor / Getty I have a feeling that Disney and Nike are doing everything in their power to piss off racist people and I’m all for it. If you don’t know Disney announced that Halle Bailey will be playing Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and that announcement sparked outrage online from some people who felt like Ariel shouldn’t be black. Those folks quickly started posting under the hashtag #NotMyAriel to voice their disdain on the decision. A lot of other great people on Twitter took to stick up for Halle against people who can’t see progress. One user named Lea Toft tweeted, “As a danish person, I have some bad news for all the people who’s angry, that a black woman is playing Ariel. Danish people don’t have fins either, nor do we live underwater – we can, and do, however have different ethnicities” As a danish person, I have some bad news for all the people who’s angry, that a black woman is playing Ariel. Danish people don’t have fins either, nor do we live underwater – we can, and do, however have different ethnicities #notmyariel — Lea Toft (@MuffinFanatic) July 5, 2019 Oh, burn. Now Disney has made a statement in the matter in a witty post about their pick of Halle, dedicated to the poor unfortunate souls who don’t like Halle. “Yes. The original author of The Little Mermaid was Danish. Ariel … is a mermaid. She lives in an underwater kingdom in international waters and can legit swim wherever she wants (even though that often upsets King Triton, absolute zaddy),” Freeform’s post read. “But for the sake of argument, let’s say that Ariel, too, is Danish.” “Danish mermaids can be black because Danish *people* can be black. Ariel can sneak up to the surface at any time with her pals Scuttle and the *ahem* Jamaican crab Sebastian (sorry, Flounder!) and keep that bronze base tight,” the text post continued. “Black Danish people, and this mer-folk, can also *genetically* (!!!) have red hair.” View this post on Instagram An open letter to the Poor, Unfortunate Souls: ______ #TheLittleMermaid #Ariel #MyAriel A post shared by Freeform (@freeform) on Jul 6, 2019 at 6:16pm PDT This has been a bad July for racist people as Nike also pulled a sneaker with America’s first flag because it has been used to promote white supremacy in the past after Colin Kaepernick brought that to their attention. That decision caused people to burn their Nikes once again but we think Nike and Disney will both be fine in the future. Nike becoming a brand that routinely upsets racists makes me think they’ll be just fine — Kazeem Famuyide (@RealLifeKaz) July 2, 2019 As for The Little Mermaid, this movie is shaping up to look just like modern-day America with Rob Marshall directing, and Melissa McCarthy and Awkafina in talks for roles in this movie.

Shay Mitchell Pregnancy of the Day

Posted on July 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Shay Mitchell is a pretty clever rich kid who got into acting thanks to being a rich kid. First she made it from her mansion in West Vancouver…a rich neighborhood…to Toronto…where she got cast in Degrassi….where she may or may not have had sex with Drake….then she moved onto Hollywood, leaving Canada behind as these people do once they officially make it in the big leagues of America…which Pretty Little Liars was….and sh was able to build out and grow a massive social media reach because of it.. In being enterprising or current or smart she decided that was a good thing to focus on in her acting downtime, becoming an “Influencer” means controlling her content and imag whil getting all kinds of money for brand deals..all while going on all kinds of epic trips because that is what these people do… So she does well for herself, and is now knocked up by another Canadian who used to be a VJ on Much Music…because I guess she had a childhood crush on him, or maybe Canadians in America stick together….or maybe this is just how love and building families work…I don’t know, I just know she’s got a nice tan in her bikini and despite finding pregnancy gross, I like what it does to tits, before the breast feeding is done and the titties deflate… Yes, my life is one big tit joke, a simplistic tit joke no on laughs at.

It’s a brand new day under the sea for the Grammy-nominated singer who will be making her feature film debut alongside Melissa McCarthy in  the film, directed by Rob Marshall. “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance–plus a glorious singing voice–all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” Marshall said in a statement. Bailey along with her sister Chloe was discovered by  Beyoncé  after the duo became popular singing covers and original songs on YouTube. The two are signed to the Houston legend’s Parkwood Entertainment label and both sisters star in the  black-ish  spinoff,  grown-ish  which airs on Freeform.
