Queen Latifah told Yahoo News Through Her Eyes on Tuesday that until there is concrete evidence proving he lied, she will continue to believe the Empire star. “Until somebody can show me some proof otherwise, I’m going with him. Cause the guy I’ve seen has always seen has always been someone who cares about people, who cares about others, and who’s very kind and who’s always been cool and sweet. And that’s just the guy I know,” the Oscar nominee stressed. “So until I can see some definitive proof — which I haven’t seen yet — then, you know, I gotta go with him until I see otherwise.” When talking about Jussie’s case and the pressure to stay grounded in Hollywood, she was clear, “I don’t even know what to make of it.” “All I know is that I hope everything works out in the end and everybody basically comes out unscathed.” As we previously reported , Jussie is engulfed in controversy after accusing two men of attacking him during a late night in Chicago. In January, the actor told police he was punched in the face, had bleach poured on him and he suffered a bruise on his face. He also accused the attackers of yelling, “this MAGA country n*gger” and putting a noose around his neck. However, last month Smollett was arrested and charged on a felony charge of disorderly conduct after CPD claimed he hired two acquaintances – brothers Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo – to help him stage the assault. The actor and singer is currently out on $100,000 bond and is due back in court March 14 on a felony charge of disorderly conduct. In addition, he has also been suspended from Empire . Smollett continues to claim that he did not make up the attack.

Source: Birdie Thompson, Faye Sadou/AdMedia / Splash News The New Flick Will Hit Netflix In April It seems Gina Rodriguez is taking a break from her colorblind confessions to star in a new romantic comedy headed for Netflix. In Someone Great , Rodriguez plays Jenny, an aspiring music journalist who gets her dream job in San Francisco. The only issue is she has to leave New York City, and her boyfriend of nine years ( Lakeith Stanfield ) decides to break up with her. To ease the pain, Rodriguez plans a night to remember with her two best friends. The flick stars DeWanda Wise from She’s Gotta Have It fame and Brittany Snow from Pitch Perfect.  Considering Rodriguez doesn’t have the best reputation in Black public opinion , the response should be interesting for this movie arriving on Netflix April 19. Check out the trailer below, and let us know if you’re adding it to your list.

Logan Paul Reveals Traumatic Brain Injury that Causes Lack of Empathy

YouTube villain Logan Paul can't stop getting into trouble. From filming a suicide victim's body to vowing to “go gay” for a month , he courts controversy. But he has now revealed that he suffered a traumatic brain injury. Does that explain his misdeeds? Does it excuse them? In a new video titled ” I have holes in my brain ,” Logan Paul bombards a sleeping friend of his with sandwich ingredients … and then goes to have a brain scan. The doctor, who is so compassionate and nurturing, shows Logan a scan of his brain. “You see these holes?” the doctor asks, pointing at Logan's brain scan results. “It's not missing, but it's hurt.” Logan had a traumatic brain injury when he was in seventh grade. it did damage to his skull, resulting in a titanium plate. “And this is really important,” the doctor says of Logan's brain. “Because right here is the most human thoughtful part of us.” To simplify the importance of the prefrontal cortex, the doctor explains: “It makes you human.” “It's called the pre-frontal cortex,” his doctor explains. “And you hurt it.” He continues: “which means you're going to have trouble with focus and forethought, and follow-through, and organization, planning, empathy.” The prefrontal cortex deals with what we consider to be higher thought and matters of self-control. The doctor points out that this is a big deal regarding “relationships and learning from the mistakes you make.” So … has Logan Paul not learned his lesson because he literally cannot learn from his mistakes? “We need to fix this,” the doctor emphasizes. “If we don't fix this,” he says. “No matter how successful you are, you're not going to make the decisions you need to move your life in the direction you want.” “Living the rest of your life with this brain is not going to be a lot of fun,” he warns. “For you or for the people who love you.” Notably, failures of the prefrontal cortex can lead people to jeopardize their relationships because they lack impulse control and foresight. The doctor explains that Logan could miss out on a lot “because you're going to have trouble connecting.” “You're smart,” the doctor affirms. “You're just not making the kind of decisions that will help you.” “Our question is… well, can we make it better?” he continues. He asks: “Are you permanently messed up or can we make this better?” The answer, as it turns out, is that there may be hope. But Logan will have to change some of his behaviors. “I think it's more traumatic brain injury that needs to be rehabilitated,” the doctor assesses. He encourages Logan to “get rid of any high-risk behavior that's going to put you at risk for another head injury,” He explains that this is vital “because this brain is not going to tolerate a lot more brain injury.” That doesn't just mean avoiding, say, skateboarding. Logan admits that he drinks about once a week, but drinks heavily when he does this. Alcohol could really be impairing his brain's recovery. Logan Paul also mentions that he seems to have undiagnosed ADD, but that he has viewed it as a creative asset. (That's a shockingly healthy perspective on his part) The thing is that lacking empathy doesn't magically make a person bad. Logan has been making choices all along. Morally speaking, he may not be responsible if he blurts something out. But choosing to film a corpse, then do a detailed edit of footage and broadcast it is not a mere impulse. If he wants to save his image, this video could be an effective if dishonest way of trying to get people to excuse his past actions. That said … we would be genuinely interested in a responsible, thoughtful Logan Paul. He'd be … unrecognizable.

I’m Suing! Fiji Water Girl Is Trying To Finagle Funds From Fiji Water After They Forged Her Image For Profit

Source: Stefanie Keenan / Getty The Two Parties Seemingly Formed A Relationship That Is Now Being Disputed It appears Fiji Water was getting extra comfortable with their new viral sensation Kelleth Cuthbert, a.k.a. Fiji Water Girl and now she’s suing them dry. Cuthbert was catapulted to fame at this year’s Gold Globe Awards when her good looks and flawless water bottle posing made it’s way into celebrity pictures. Her photobomb status was cemented in awards show history , and Fiji water had a new face to make their product go viral. However, Fiji Water allegedly went too far when they started using life-sized cut-outs of Cuthbert’s image in stores. According to TMZ , Cuthbert is suing Fiji for creating cutouts of her at the Golden Globes without her permission, one of which, ironically, photobombed John Legend at an L.A. grocery store. Cuthbert, whose real name is Kelly Steinbach, said Fiji tried to coax her into signing away her rights. Though she did a mock video with the company, Cuthbert said she never actually inked a real deal, and it was all for show. Steinbach says the cardboard cutouts of herself started showing up around L.A., including the one involving John Legend. She said her viral moment generated up to $12 million in brand exposure, and now she wants in on the cash. Fiji is calling BS though. A rep told TMZ , “This lawsuit is frivolous and entirely without merit. After the Golden Globes social media moment, we negotiated a generous agreement with Ms. Cuthbert that she blatantly violated. We are confident that we will prevail in court. Throughout our history, we have had a sterling reputation working with talent.” Eesh. When friends become enemies. There’s no word on the exact amount Cuthbert is asking for. But hey, you can’t be mad at her for trying to get her paper.
