Trump Rally Cancelled After Crowd Conflicts After weeks of protesters being violently attacked and harshly shuffled out of Donald Trump rallies by his rabid supporters …a large group of Chicago protesters have finally pushed back. The result? Trump’s rally was abruptly shut down in the interest of public safety. Via FOX32 Chicago : Supporters and opponents of Donald Trump gathered at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago for a showdown on Friday afternoon, and the rally ended up being canceled for security reasons. “It’s anger in the country,” Trump told MSNBC afterwards. “I don’t think it’s directed at me. Just what’s been going on for years.” Trump said he did not “want to see people hurt or worse.” We’re guessing stuff like this made Trump’s racist supporters a little hot under the collar: And we all know how Trump’s crew get when they’re angry . A statement from Trump’s campaign read: “Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago and after meeting with law enforcement has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight’s rally will be postponed to another date. Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace.” Inside the event, arguments and scuffles broke out between Trump supporters and opponents. People were yelling and pushing. Several people were led away by police. Rev. Jedidiah Brown of Chicago had tweeted before the event: “I feel this Trump rally at UIC is giving me a glimpse into the civil rights movement, I never seen such bold hatred in my life.” WELP…the tone of Trump’s rallys have been getting progressively more racist and aggressive. It was only a matter of time before things bubbled over. Instagram / FOX32

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

AP Photo/Mike McCarn The joys of being black…. Kam Chancellor Mistaken For Robber At Gym Super Bowl champ and four-time Pro Bowler Kam Chancellor was disgusted this week when he went to a gym with hopes of purchasing it, and had the cops called on him. The Seattle Times reports: Redmond police on Wednesday night confirmed that Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor was involved in an incident that led to a 911 call at the Redmond Athletic Club. The incident first came to light when Chancellor tweeted Wednesday night that two women had reported him to police because he was checking out the gym, which closed for business Monday. He said he was interested in buying it. Becky Range, the public information officer for the Redmond Police Department, described the incident as a misunderstanding. Range confirmed that a 911 call from the club was made to Redmond police at 4:25 p., Range said Chancellor was among five adults who, according to the club employee, were outside, banging on the door and looking in the window. “The employees thought the five individuals were trying to gain entry into the facility,’’ Range said. Range said the employees “felt unsettled’’ and called the police. The club had lost its lease and closed Monday. Range said Redmond police officers arrived as Chancellor and four other individuals were leaving. “It was a positive interaction,’’ Range said. “They (the officers) said, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ and that’s when the group said they were just here to check out the facility. They were really easy to talk to, and they said our officers were really nice and they left without incident and no police report was filed.’’ Chancellor has run fitness boot camps for women in past off-season. Kam is rightfully perturbed by the incident and added some more heated tweets to his account. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren) Hit the flip to see them…
