Marc Jacobs Responds To Appropriation ‘Nonsense’ — “You Don’t Criticize Women Of Color For STRAIGHTENING Their Hair!”

Marc Jacobs Responds To Cultural Appropriation Criticism Marc Jacobs caught quite a bit of controversy over using faux locs on his white models in this season’s show. But of course, rather than lend an open mind and a concerned ear to the concerns of people of color or those familiar with the terrain of cultural appropriation …Marc decided to instead do a classic act of white people white peopling, and basically tell brown people to quit their whining and stop ‘stealing’ white folks’ straight hair if they feel such a way about it — before half-azzedly backtracking and saying he didn’t mean to offend anyone. SMH. The point he’s missing here is that society ROUTINELY tells Black people our hair is dirty , messy, “ghetto” and unprofessional, then turns around to use it for fun and call it “cool” and “edgy” when placed on fairer tones. But clearly Marc doesn’t care, as long as he can use it to push his fashions. Splash/WENN/AKM-GSI

BOSSIP Exclusive: Rick Ross Baby Mama Demands Judge Order 50 Cent to Follow Their Deal To Pay Her $6 Million

50 Cent Agreed To Pay Lastonia Leviston $6 Million As Part Of His Bankruptcy She once sued him for leaking a sex tape of her, and Rick Ross’ baby mama has accused 50 Cent of screwing her over once again. Lastonia Leviston has headed back to federal court to demand the judge order the rapper to follow through on their deal to dismiss their sex tape lawsuit and to pay the $6 million he agreed to in his bankruptcy plan. Recently, the rapper saw a federal bankruptcy judge sign off on his proposed deal to pay back a substantial amount of his debt to the various creditors, which brought the case to a close. The repayment plan will pay out $17 million to his former business partners Sleek Audio and $6 million to Rick Ross’ baby mama after she scored a judgment against the rapper for leaking her sex tape online. Before the plan was OK’d, 50 Cent had attempted to continue on with his legal battle with Rick Ross’ baby mama. He believed the $7 million judgment was excessive and wanted to drag Rick Ross into the case. 50 Cent said that his archenemy should be found liable for a portion of the judgment due to him allegedly being to blame for the leak. He also said the emotional distress claim by Lastonia – which she was awarded $500,000 for in the jury decision – wasn’t legit and wanted it thrown out. It appeared all their issues were settle once the judge signed off on the repayment plan where he was to cough up $6 million to Lastonia. But now it looks like things didn’t go that smoothly, and Lastonia has asked the bankruptcy judge help her force the rapper to follow their deal and him pay her the millions. She explained in her court documents that the deal she signed with 50 states both parties are to dismiss the sex tape legal battle in New York Supreme Court following the execution of the agreement. However, she says that she has repeatedly sought the cooperation of 50 Cent to dismiss the New York suit but he refuses because he wants to pursue a claim against Rick Ross in that legal battle, in hopes the court will find him liable for a portion of the $7 million awarded to Lastonia. She is furious that the rapper won’t follow his end of the deal and says nowhere in their agreement did it state he could pursue claims against Ross. Lastonia is pleading with the judge to order 50 Cent to dismiss the New York sex tape case and to cough up the $6 million per his plan.

Update: Rapper Freddie Gibbs Charged With Sexual Assault In Austria

Freddie Gibbs Charged With Sexual Assault Rapper Freddie Gibbs has been formally charged with sexual assault. The Indiana emcee who says he’s innocent is facing rape charges stemming from a 2015 incident in Austria. Rolling Stone reports: Two-and-a-half months after Freddie Gibbs was arrested in France stemming from an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Vienna, Austria in July 2015, the rapper has formally been charged in the incident. A spokesperson for the Vienna criminal court confirmed the charges of “sexual abuse of a defenseless or psychologically impaired person” Wednesday. ” [Gibbs] is alleged to have administered knock-out drops to a woman and then have abused her sexually while she was in a defenseless state,” the spokesperson said in a statement, accusing the rapper of spiking a woman’s drink, Metro US reports. Gibbs could face 10 years in prison if convicted of the charges. Gibbs’ Austrian-based lawyer Thomas Kralik denied that the rapper had any sexual contact with the alleged victim. “He strenuously denies [the accusations],” Kralik said. Gibbs’ U.S. lawyer Theodore Simon added in an email statement to Rolling Stone, “While Freddie Gibbs was charged with an offense today, it remains only an allegation, and it does not in any way change the actual facts that Freddie Gibbs is 100 percent innocent…” What do YOU think about the latest update in the Freddie Gibbs case???
