Christopher Morgan Blasts Gay Rumors From Kenya Moore Kim Fields already issued her own epic clapback at Kenya Moore for insinuating that her husband Christopher Morgan is a down-low brother-lover, and that it’s widely known and spoken about in their D-list Hollywood circles . However, Chris himself has remained pretty mum on Kenya’s comments about his sexuality up to this point. In a recent sit-down with E!online , Chris finally revealed why he didn’t speak up and where those rumors actually came from… It’s interesting. When someone spreads lies about you, you can either go at them in a defensive manner and be seen as defensive, or you can just let a lie be a lie. And she kind of put me in the middle with that situation because how I would handle that situation without the entire world watching is different than I would when someone spreads a lie about you in front of the nation and world. So, I felt immediately it was going to be important for me, at some time, to set the record straight that she had fabricated the entire conversation. There is no one in the industry that calls me anything other than my name, especially to my face. Kimmy and I weren’t together in the Living Single days. So, she had to stretch pretty far to get that. [Kenya claims she first learned of the rumors surrounding Chris when she guest starred on Kim’s Fox sitcom, which ran from 1993-1998. Only problem? Kim was married to someone else at the time. She didn’t marry Chris until 2007.] Now, I understand, I’m a Broadway performer without a real name, as far as Hollywood goes, and when Kim and I first got together, there was all kinds of speculation about me. Was I a deadbeat? Was I broke? Was I a drug addict? Was I a homosexual? There were all kind of rumors about me because nobody knew who this guy was dating, and eventually marrying, Kim Fields. She basically took that speculation, one aspect of it, and ran with it. Chris also says that Kenya’s lie was offensive, insinuating that because he sings and dances, clearly he must be gay — or that Broadway is a profession only for “whimsical” men. But at the end of the day, she’s only hurting herself since she claims to be such a cornerstone of the entertainment industry… It’s funny. Kenya says a lot of things that are insulting. Some of them she means, and some of them she doesn’t. The problem is she doesn’t really know. Now, speaking specifically to this point, again, being in the industry that I’m in, being the person that I am, without judgements on anyone’s personal life, I have a lot of people in my life, a lot of friends in my life, a lot of colleagues in my life that are homosexuals. I love them dearly as the people that they are. I know that they were offended by the statements made. And it’s disappointing to me that someone would make such reckless statements without thinking of the true repercussions of it. What I mean by the true repercussions of it is, the man who’s your boss, you just labeled as weak or inept or unable or lesser than. And I think that’s pretty thoughtless and stupid, if you ask me, honestly. And she’s going to have to deal with Andy Cohen on that. She’s going to have to deal with a bunch of the other people that are above her on that. She’s going to have to deal with the quote-unquote industry that in her mind loves her so much over that. And that’s not my business, that’s hers. I did not dig that hole. Well, it seems as if Kenya’s retelling of the rumors wasn’t COMPLETELY fabricated, since Chris says it’s not the first time someone has leveled gay speculation his way. But it was still inappropriate to speak of someone’s husband that way behind their back and on-camera… What do you think?? Splash / WENN / Instagram
Amber Rose Says She Doesn’t Want To Date Rappers Anymore According to E! Amber Rose is done dating men who make their money on stage and in the booth… Over the rhythm and the rhyme! Amber Rose is done dating rappers. The model, 32, opened up about her personal life, including her messy romances with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, during a sit-down with clairvoyant Tyler Henry on E!’s Hollywood Medium, and she’s ready for a whole new kind of man. “I guess I wanna know if, if I’m gonna find love again, and if I’m gonna have more babies,” Rose tells Henry in a sneak peek of the Sunday, February 21, episode. “What’s interesting about this is that I’m either seeing a relationship with someone who has a record label, I’m seeing a record label, record label, record label,” the teen reader tells Rose. “I don’t want you to date a rapper.” “No, I don’t want to date a rapper anymore, get them away from me!” she declares, laughing. “I’m very attracted to creative people so that’s why they just, they call me.” You buyin’ what “Muva” is sellin’?

When Tyga gave Kylie Jenner a $320,000 ride for her 18th birthday, I wondered what kind of a a–hole would spend that much money on A) a car B) a teenager. Soon after that, Tyga’s ex and baby mama, Blac Chyna , made some comments about him re-gifting a Mercedes to Jenner (which she received prior to her birthday). The pricey items make no sense when it’s been proven that Tyga file for bankruptcy in 2010. The landlord from whom Tyga rented a Calabasas, CA home sued him for $88,469 in back rent, which – according to Radar Online – he was awarded when Tyga didn’t show up for the hearing. On top of that, Tyga owed $35,000 in interest because he didn’t pay on time. “According to the documents filed in Los Angeles County, Tyga was flat broke at the time of his 2010 filing – he listed his assets at between $0 and $50,000,” Radar states. “His liabilities, on the other hand, were listed at between $100,000 and $500,000.” It gets worse. HSBC, the bank dealing with the case, was suspicious of Tyga, accusing him of attempting to freeze his bills via a “bogus filing.” HSBC claimed (and had the evidence to back it up) that Tyga had moved his property under other people’s names. Ultimately, the bankruptcy case was dismissed in February 2011 because Tyga was unable to file the required documents. TLDR; Tyga’s debts were not wiped clean, which means he’s probably living off Kylie’s Lip Kit profits. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Tyga Photos: The Way They Were … Are? (Who the Heck Knows)
Late last month, Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after experiencing a number of mysterious ailments. Evans has spoken about the incident on social media, and while she refused to go into specifics, she stated that doctors were unsure about what might have caused her sudden illness. Over the weekend, Jenelle traveled to New York City with her boyfriend, David Eason. As with just about everything Jenelle does, the trip prompted criticism from Teen Mom fans who took to Instagram to voice their opinion that Jenelle spends too much time focused on her having fun and not enough time being mom. This time, Jenelle was able to silence the haters by posting the photo above along with the following caption: “If you all MUST know why I’m here, like I said up here for medical reasons,” Jenelle wrote. “Time for this MRI of my spine and brain.” Yikes. Sounds serious. Once again, Jenelle didn’t offer any specifics, but she seemed to enjoy her time in New York, and she’s safely back home now, so there’s reason to believe she received some good news. Sources say Jenelle has been struggling with anxiety and her recent health issues may be related. “She’s been busy and stressed,” one insider tells Radar Online. Yeah, we imagine Jenelle’s life is pretty stressful. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to remind yourself of just how crazy this girl’s life can get.
These days, it's looking like Iggy Azalea's career is pretty much DOA. After all, it's not a good sign when you have to cancel your first US tour due to lack of interest. And once Macklemore starts taking shots at you, you may as well just hang it up. But on the plus side, Iggy's personal life is firing on all cylinders. TMZ caught up with the I-G-G-Y recently and asked about her relationship with Nick Young , as well as the possibility of her bringing some little Iggy-Igs into the world. What's really interesting about the clip below, however, isn't Iggy's thoughts on child-rearing, but the possible hint at the the very end that she and Nick have already tied the knot. Asked if Nick is cool with the idea of babies “with an Australian twinge” (weird question, but hey, unscripted interviews are tough), Iggy replied, “He better! He has a wife with one.” It's possible she meant he will have a wife with one, but considering Iggy and Nick were talking about getting hitched low-key ar city hall as recently as last week, we wouldn't be surprised if they're already hitched. Hey, the justice of the peace ceremony isn't particularly fancy , but it gets the job done.
Demarcus Cousins Asks That “Year Of The Monkey” Shirts Be Removed To Honor Black History Month The calendar has aligned to bring about an interesting confluence of holiday circumstances. While February is nationally known as Black History Month, it also coincides with Chinese New Year. While normally that isn’t a problem, 2016 has been dubbed “The Year Of The Monkey”. You see where we’re goin’ with this…? The NBA is all about celebrating the diversity of their game, and in that spirit, the Sacramento Kings planned to celebrate both holidays at the same damn time. As a black man Demarcus “Boogie” Cousins wasn’t really feelin’ that. He approached the Kings operations staff prior to the game and asked them to remove the “Year Of The Monkey” t-shirts that were being placed on every seat in the arena. Lunar New Year celebration tonight at Sleep Train Arena. cc: @kfippin pic.twitter.com/P4AzTNuyj3 — James Ham (@James_Ham) February 2, 2016 During his plea, Demarcus asked television analyst Marques Johnson his opinion on celebrating “The Year Of The Monkey” on the first day of Black History Month. Johnson agreed that it was probably in poor taste. Considering the NBA’s recent history with racist azz Roger Sterling and Danny Ferry, the Kings thought it best to not light that match. Bye t-shirts pic.twitter.com/dt9DFxmuJU — Jason Jones (@mr_jasonjones) February 2, 2016 The shirts were removed and all was well. What do you think about Demarcus’ move? Would YOU have been offended by the shirts? Do Chinese folks have a legitimate complaint when it comes to the removal of their cultural celebration? Weigh in down in the comment section! Image via AP
Dear Bossip , I just turned 19 years old and I started working as a secretary for this company. My boss is an older white gentleman who is 44 years old. I became very fond of him and he would tell me to look to him as a mentor. Growing up I didn’t have a family and I was adopted when I was 8 years old. I know nothing of my history. To be honest, I don’t even know my nationality. I’m fair-skinned with green eyes, freckles, big full lips, full nose and curly/nappy long blondish hair. I was never that close with my adopted family and I always felt like an outsider with them. My boss started to go on frequent trips for the company and he would take me along as his personal assistant. I loved going because he would pay me double my weekly check. One night, on one of our trips, he came into my bedroom crying about how his wife left him and is taking his son. I felt so bad for him, but he insisted on staying in my room so he wasn’t alone because he said he was having suicidal thoughts. The next night he started talking about how amazing of a young lady I was and how he wished he would’ve married someone like me. The day before we left I awoke to three dozen roses in my room. When we got back home he started being very flirty, touchy feely and would leave me gifts. I know the age difference is a big gap, but to be honest I started to like him. When we did go out we would get compliments with how good we looked together. Even though I’m 19 years old I could pass for maybe 25 years old. Then, one night, on one of his business trips we slept together and he took my virginity. I know what you may be thinking that this man took advantage of me, but it wasn’t like that, because I wanted to do it. We continued to sleep together mostly every day after work. We would meet up at hotels and have sex. I’ve become madly in love with him. Things started to get rocky when his wife came barging into the office threatening to fight me. I was so confused because I was under the impression that she left him and they were getting a divorce. He even assured me that they were divorcing and that he loved me. His daughters stalked my Facebook and started sending me threats. His daughters are 23 and 17 years of age and are from a previous marriage. He also has a 10 year old son with his soon-to-be ex-wife who is 32 years old, I believe. I found out I was pregnant and he became very distant and said that we needed to talk about our options. I ended up having a miscarriage 6 weeks into it and to my surprise he started acting normal again. He was there with me through it all and said he was distant because he was nervous about being a father again. I completely understood and we reconciled our relationship. He even took me on a vacation to Barbados where he proposed and promised that he would move me in his house once his wife moves out. Apparently, she moved back in because she ran out of money and he didn’t want his son to be homeless. Three months after the engagement I found out I was 11 weeks pregnant. I was so thrilled. He wasn’t too thrilled, though. He told me to get an abortion because if it comes out in the divorce, then, his wife will get everything. I said no, and that’s when everything fell apart. He stopped calling me as much and he even fired me saying that I was missing too many days from work and that I wasn’t needed anymore. He also told me that people were beginning to talk at work, so before I started to show he wanted me gone so he wouldn’t get in trouble by his partners and cause a scandal for the company. Since I have no job I’ve been bouncing around from place to place. He gives me a “weekly allowance” so I can eat and handle other expenses. I’m now 29 weeks pregnant. His wife texted me the other day telling me that she knows about my pregnancy and that she will never except my child in her home and despite it all they never were going to get a divorce and that I will never have her husband. I called him immediately and he said that this could’ve all been avoided if I just got an abortion and then he hung up on me. I just don’t understand how he could do this to me. He said he loved me. I still have the ring. I still wear it. I’m so confused. I’m now thinking about adoption because I can’t raise this baby on my own, but I’ve also been through the struggles of adoption and I don’t want to put my son through that. Even after he said all that horrible stuff to me he’s still asking to meet up and when we do he kisses my belly or he will bring me gifts and tell me we’re a family. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m completely broken. – Broken Dear Ms. Broken , You call the Human Resources offices where you used to work, and you explain to them what happened, and what’s been going on. Demand that they have a meeting with you. You contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Center, it is an 800 number, and you can look them up, and you also explain to them what happened to you. They will inform you of your rights, and the laws that protects you. You do this first, and then you contact the Human Resources office where you used to work. When you contact the EEOC office, you tell them what happened, what’s been happening, and what is continuing to happen. File a report with the EEOC, and you give them, along with the Human Resource offices where you used to work everything you’ve experienced and encountered with your former boss. You have to document all of this information, including dates, times, gifts, trips, and everything he’s been doing, and has done for you the moment you start working for him. If you have receipts from the gifts, then get them. Or, take pictures of all the gifts he’s given you. If you have your plane ticket where he has taken you on trips, produce them. If you have pictures of you and him on trips together, show them and keep them. All the text messages, voice mail messages, emails, or anything he has sent you, get them and get a copy of your phone record to show how often he calls you and texts you. And, write down every date, and every instance he began touching you inappropriately at work, being flirty, and saying things to you. Write it all down! Tell the EEOC, and the Human Resources office that you want to file a sexual harassment action suit against him, and you want to sue him for firing you. Trust me, what he has done and is doing to you is inappropriate, and he feels that since you’re young and don’t know any better, then he can take advantage of you and the situation. And, do not tell him you are going to the Human Resources office, or calling the EEOC. I repeat, do not tell him anything. Continue to let him give you gifts, money, and tell you things that he is going to do. And, keep a record of all of this. Therefore, it’s time for you to grow up and be a grown ass woman, and take matters back into your hands. Get out of your feelings and out of your head, and it’s time you start thinking and being an adult. He never loved you. He was and is never going to marry you. He took advantage of your youth, your naivety, and your need and desire to be and feel loved. He did what most predators do, and he preyed on you and your vulnerability. Yes, he is a predator. Men like him are vile and disgusting. In your vulnerable state, and naïve senses he began doing things to you to make you feel comfortable with him, and to trust him. Predators prey on young women, especially vulnerable women. That is why he took you on a trip with him, which is totally inappropriate, and then came to your room crying talking about his wife was going to divorce him and that he needed to sleep in your room because he felt suicidal. Sweetie, that was his trick, his ploy to get into your head and heart. He played on your emotions. As your superior, your boss, he should have never come into your room. And, he had no reason or no place to disclose his personal life to you, a 19 year old, and then ask to stay in your room. That should have set off some bells and alarms in your head. But, he was using your life story and your naivety to get inside your heart and head. That was the moment he began working on you and you fell for it. After that night, and when he sent the flowers, he knew that he had won you over and that he had you. You were on the hook for him, and he continued to play you the entire time by telling you things you wanted and needed to hear. SMDH! Then, when things didn’t work out the way he planned, he gave you some bogus reason of why he fired you, and it was because he didn’t want people in the office, including his partners to learn about your pregnancy. Well, since he knew what he was doing was inappropriate, then, it’s time you let everyone know what type of man they are working with. I strongly encourage you to find a lawyer from the EEOC office, or ask if they can recommend someone who can take your case as Pro-bono, since you don’t have a job, and they represent you. It will take a lawyer to help you through these proceedings. Also, take him to court when the child is born, and request a DNA test, in order to prove the child is his, and then you request full custody of the child. Again, find a family court lawyer, or request one who can work with you Pro-bono, and you take all the things you are supplying the Human Resources office, and EEOC office, and you share these with the court and explain to them the same thing that happened to you while working for him. Then, you tell the court that you want to put him on child support. Look, I understand you’re feeling heart-broken, sad, and upset over what he did to you. And, you feel that the first love of your life has totally destroyed you, and you’re not sure what to do or where to turn, but you do have options. You have to start thinking and being wise about these decisions. Yes, it is your choice if you decide to give up your child for adoption, but make sure you think this through clearly and concisely before you make any rash decisions. You have to do what is best for you, but please know that you were taken advantage of by someone who is a predator. This man violated several workplace laws, including sexual harassment, and he should be held accountable for what he has done to you. You are going to have to get out of your head, out of your feelings, and see the situation for what it really is. The only reason he is giving you an allowance, and continuing to fill your head with lies is because he doesn’t want you to sue him, file charges against him with the EEOC office, or the Human Resources office. And, he definitely doesn’t want you to take him to court for child support. He is going to continue to lie to you, fill your head with empty promises, tell you things that you want to hear, and continue to manipulate the situation. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM OR ANYTHING HE SAYS. He is a liar. Again, document everything he is doing for you, and each time he gives you money you document it. If you can get checks from him, that would be better. Record all the conversations, and keep all the messages. As a matter of fact, don’t take his calls and let him fill your voicemail with messages of what he plans to do, or let him rant about the child, and what he did to you and what he doesn’t want you to do. Keep all of these and save them for your hearings. This is an unfortunate situation and I feel for you, but you’re going to have to grow up and be about your business. Don’t allow him to continue to manipulate and deceive you. It’s time you become smart, wise, and hip to the game. Take him for everything, and don’t be intimated by him or fear him. You hold the ball, and it’s in your court. Again, don’t tell him what you are doing. Don’t let him know what you are up to. And, don’t even mention Human Resources of EEOC to him. Don’t let him know or give him whiff of what you are doing.

Ever since the world learned that Rob Kardashian is dating Blac Chyna, it’s been rumored that Blac entered the relationship with ulterior motives. Specifically, she’s suspected of using Rob to get back at Kylie Jenner , with whom she’s been engaged in an online war of words for the past year. Now it seems that if that was her plan – it backfired in spectacular fashion. There was a time last week when it looked as though Kylie and Tyga were over for good. Tyga even bought a new house over an hour away from Kylie’s palatial Calabasas mansion. Now, however, sources are saying that Kylie and Tyga are 100% back together – and it’s all because of Blac and Rob’s relationship. “Kylie really feels like if she were to leave Tyga now while all of this is going on, then her enemy wins the fight,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. The insider adds that she’s been leaning on her philandering boyfriend for emotional support as she copes with the reality of her big brother dating her biggest rival. “Tyga has upped his game and is there for Kylie more than ever right now,” says the insider. “He has been supporting her throughout this whole thing because they both know how messed up this situation is.” Interestingly, the insider claims Kylie and Tyga reconciled the same night that Blac got arrested for possession in Austin. Talk about adding insult to injury. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Tyga Photos: The Way They Were … Are? (Who the Heck Knows)
Kris Jenner is not about to let sensitive family business stand in the way of important family business . Yes, the mother of Rob Kardashian is reportedly angry at her son for dating Blac Chyna … but that doesn’t mean Jenner is about to let her personal life get in the way of her professional life. The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch and manager took to Twitter on Monday to gush over her son Rob’s new website for his sock line Arthur George. “The new @arthurgeorge website is LIVE!! ShopArthurGeorge.com (it ships worldwide!!) #proudmama #shoparthurgeorge,” Jenner wrote on her social media account. We think it’s great that Rob Kardashian has shown initiative and that he has taken charge of his own business. But it will never not be hilarious that Rob Kardashian actually has a sock line. Along with the Twitter post, Kris included a photo of numerous Kardashian’s slogan-oriented socks, which he launched in 2012. Jenner went on to request her son create a “#proudmama sock ASAP!!!” That sounds cute and all, but multiple insiders have alleged that Kris is anything but proud of Rob these days. The estranged reality star has been dating family rival Blac Chyna for several weeks now, most recently driving over 1,300 miles to pick her up from Austin after Blac Chyna got arrested for public intoxication on an airplane. View Slideshow: 11 Times Kris Jenner Was Completely F—ing Over It Blac Chyna, of course, is the ex-girlfriend of Tyga and the mother of Tyga’s son. She has been outwardly critical of Kylie Jenner and her sisters ever since Kylie started to seriously date the rapper last year. With most Kardashians and Jenners making their negative feelings on this romance very well known, Kris recently drove to Chyna’s house in order to talk some sense into her son. She’s determined to rescue Rob from Chyna , according to various sources. Thus far, she has clearly failed. But that’s no reason to let Rob’s sock line fail, right? Especially if Kris is receiving the sort of commission that we strongly suspect she is. View Slideshow: 11 Times Kris Jenner Has Acted Without Shame
