As you have surely heard approximately a billion times by now, Farrah Abraham started a brawl at the Teen Mom OG reunion special. But no matter how many times you hear it, it's still so fun, isn't it? Farrah said something about Amber Portwood's boyfriend, Matt Baier, Amber got seriously pissed about it, then stormed the stage and tried to throw a punch at Farrah . It was messy, it was ugly, and it started a very intense feud between Farrah and Amber. Just a couple of days ago, for instance, Farrah had the maturity and the wit to compare Amber to Miss Piggy . Amber took it in stride, telling Farrah that she liked the comparison, but then she insinuated that Farrah took Adderall to stay skinny, so it looks like the feud's not ending anytime soon. But what did Farrah even say that was so bad? What could she have possibly said about Matt that would make Amber mad enough to want to fight her? If you'll remember, Amber used to struggle a lot with her anger issues. She's come a long way, and she isn't nearly as prone to violence as she used to be, so Farrah must have said something really terrible to set her off like that. And in this sneak peek for Monday's reunion show, we finally get to see exactly what it was she said. Check out the madness in the clip below:

Colorado High School Student Protest POTUS-Elect Trump With Walkout In the second instance of high school students protesting political matters… Hundreds of Arizona high school students stage a walk out to rally votes against racist ass Sheriff Joe Arpaio ✊ ✊ ✊ pic.twitter.com/EKLzm9NdRo — Bossip (@Bossip) November 8, 2016 100 students at Boulder High School in Boulder, Colorado participated in a walkout in protest of newly elected POTUS, Donald Trump. Walkout of #Boulder High students to protest message and values of Donald Trump turns into group hug. pic.twitter.com/K7fDpqRG7C — Charlie Brennan (@chasbrennan) November 9, 2016 At 10 a.m. students flooded the front lawn of the school with protest signs and Mexican flags and began marching away from the school. Around 1:30 p.m. students at Fairview High School followed suit and walked out of their classrooms to signify their displeasure with the Orange GOP candidate. According to the DailyCamera , the students want it to be clear that they support democracy and respect the process, but they ain’t f**kin’ with The Donald. “We don’t stand against our political system, but we do stand against the hate that is being broadcasted by our newly elected leader,” Teenagers are more woke than some of these adults… Image via Twitter
Whoopi Confirms She’s Leaving ‘The View’ After all the rumors and speculation , it looks like it really is a wrap for Whoopi Goldberg on The View . The show moderator confirmed to Wendy Williams that she’s over it at this point…and while she thinks the show is great, it’s time for her to move on and achieve some of her other goals. (Whoopi talks about the show at the 1:17 mark) “Because I have to go and grow,” Whoopi told the audience and Wendy. “I’ve got stuff to do! I’ve got movies I need to direct, I’ve got books I gotta need to finish. This was great and I love doing it. It’s been a while. They’re in their 20th season. They’ve been here for a while. They did this without me. I’ve been here for half of it but not all of it.” We wonder which way the show will head without Whoopi there to help reign Raven in. Will you be watching??? ABC/WENN
GA Officer Shoots Herself, Blames A Black Man Another day, another officer playing games with Black lives . This time, thankfully, no one was gunned down in the street…unless you count the officer herself, who decided to make up some grand tale about a black man shooting her and running off. Via AJC : An officer shot. A bullet stopped by body armor. A 10-day chase for an unidentified shooter. A newly hired Jackson police officer told a compelling story about what happened late the night of Sept. 13. After only three months on the job, Sherry Hall found herself immersed in a high-profile shooting, pitting a white officer against a black man. At least, that was her account of what happened. But she made the whole thing up, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. On Friday, Hall was charged with four felonies, including evidence tampering and giving false statements to investigators. After her account began to unravel over the past two weeks, investigators were left with little to conclude other than she shot herself, but officials stopped short of saying so Friday. “Cops are humans and they make mistakes, but this is not a mistake,” Butts County Sheriff Gary Long said at a news conference. “This is criminal.” GBI Special Agent Joe Wooten said Hall is on paid administrative leave after checking herself into a “private facility” to seek help. “Upon release, she will be arrested,” Wooten said. SMH!!! Just think how her made-up story could have ENDED the life of a Black “suspect” if some of her coworkers saw someone that fit her imaginary description… Seriously, what are the requirements to join the police force??

Remember this incident ? Spring Valley School Officer Cleared Of Charges Last year a South Carolina school officer’s actions sparked a national debate after a video of him brutalizing a student over a verbal dispute went viral. Many believe ex-cop Ben Fields took it too far by dragging the peaceful young lady across a class room. His actions caused the unidentified student several injuries, including neck injuries and broken bones. Ben Field’s was fired after the incident. According to the Daily News , termination is the height of his punishment. Field’s supervisor Sheriff Leon Lott said Field’s actions were so despicable, he wanted “to throw up”. This however, had no effect to bring charges. Richland County Solicitor Dan Johnson said in a 12-page court report Friday that he found no probable cause to charge the school resource officer because the incident “looked worse on camera”. Johnson’s report includes statements from a slew of witnesses — one of whom said “the incident looked worse in the video than it did in the classroom.” The report also included a formal account from Fields himself and he appears to have no regrets about his outrageous actions. “I realized that I was going to have to physically remove the student from her seat to effectuate her arrest,” he said, adding that the desk only flipped over because the student locked her legs inside it. This is a horrible injustice. What kind of message does this send to students who want to speak up against police brutality? Continue reading →
