Image via MARWAN NAAMANI/AFP/Getty Images Saudi Women Finally Allowed To Legally Drive A Car Have you heard the one about the Saudi soccer mom ? No. You haven’t. Know why? Because even in 2017, the year of our lord, people who have vaginas were not allowed to operate motor vehicles. However, according to CNN , that will all change beginning in June of 2018 when a new royal decree goes into effect. The ban on women drivers will be lifted. At that point, Saudi women will be “allowed” to apply for driver’s licenses without getting approval from their male “guardians”. That felt crazy as HELL to even have to type. We’d say “congratulations”, but frankly it’s a pretty embarrassing thing to celebrate. Flip the page to watch the shamefully historic announcement.
Joe Scarnici/Getty Images for GQ/Jen Lowery / Splash News Here we go again… Azealia Banks Rants About Cardi B Perpetual butt boil Azealia Banks is big mad again because she’s bored and she’s run out of chickens to slaughter. The blah, blah, blah “bruja” rapper recently went off on Twitter over Cardi B’s recent Billboard success before cowardly deleting her account. According to Azealia “black men are too hype for this Latina girl” and it’s all Atlantic Records’ fault. “I’ve never seen them jump like this for Nicki or Remy,” wrote Azealia on her @XoCheapy Twitter account that’s since been deleted. “Spinning this for the culture story when they are simply letting white men at Atlantic buy them into hating their own women.” Oh girl, do you like ANYTHING???

Give it a rest, girl. What do YOU think about Azealia Banks’ rant against Cardi???
Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com Jesse Stay Woke Williams Calls Out The NFL For Making The National Anthem A Paid Promotion For Military Recruitment Donald Drumpf started a whole heap of mess this weekend after encouraging NFL owners to suspend or fire players who take the knee only to have players, activists, actors, artists and regular citizens respond strongly in opposition. Of course one of the most outspoken was Jesse Williams who appeared on MSNBC with Thomas Roberts to discuss the protests: ‘[Saying] we need to stand and pledge for the allegiance and this anthem thing is a scam,’ Williams told host Thomas Roberts. ‘This is not a part of football. ‘[The pregame national anthem] was invented in 2009 from the government [by] paying the NFL to market military recruitment – to get more people to fight wars to die. ‘This is not – nothing to do with the NFL or the American pastime or tradition. This is to get boys and girls to go fly overseas and go kill people… ‘They’re marketing and pumping millions of dollars into the NFL to get us to put on a pageant in front of the NFL football games to get you to go off and fight.’ The tactic Williams was referencing is known as “paid patriotism” — it specifically involved the National Guard and Defense Department spending taxpayer money on NFL promotions. Before 2009, NFL players normally remained in the locker room until after the anthem. In 2009, an NFL spokesman said of the new practice: ‘As you know, the NFL has a long tradition of patriotism. Players are encouraged but not required to stand for the anthem.’ Another point Williams made is that the NFL owners have played an important role in the whole Trump mess in the first place. ‘There’s an incredible level of cowardice and selfishness in the ownership class in this particular league on this particular topic,’ he said. ‘I think we have this perception that athletics is entirely a meritocracy. ‘The NFL proves, and the positions they consider more cerebral that it’s just simply not. ‘Seven or eight of these owners gave Donald Trump a million dollars each and are friends with a very horrible guy who thinks he’s a dictator and treats America like it’s a game show.’ Watch the clip below: Jesse stay woke don’t he?! We love it. Keep it coming brother.
TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images Anthony Weiner Sentenced Anthony Weiner is going to prison. The embattled public servant will serve 21 months in prison after pleading guilty to sending obscene and explicit text messages to a 15-year old girl. CBS News reports that Weiner’s lawyers urged the judge to consider that Weiner’s had a “therapeutic awakening” in light of similar cases of him sending sexual content to adult-aged women. Unfortunately for him, prosecutors (and everyone with common sense) said his conduct “suggests a dangerous level of denial and lack of self-control.” “As Weiner knew full well, the law unequivocally prohibits the online sexual exploitation of minors, no matter the app used to commit the crime or the apparent sophistication or motivation of the young teenager on the other end. The law must be respected to protect other teens from falling prey to the same conduct,” wrote Acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim in the government’s sentencing recommendations released last week. The 15-year-old received adult porn from Weiner and took her clothes off for him on Skype. If you can remember, Weiner’s sexting scandal prompted James Comey to re-open the investigation into Hilary Clinton’s emails. According to CBS, Prosecutors discovered a cache of emails from then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to her aide Huma Abedin, Weiner’s estranged wife. This called then-FBI Director James Comey to action. Getty Images SMH, thanks a lot Weiner. Enjoy jail.
Despite surveillance footage depicting Kenneka Jenkins stumbling around deserted areas of the Crowne Plaza hotel moments before she wandered into a freezer, many people insist there is much more to the story. Social media sleuths have now claimed that the tapes must be tampered with and edited, and some people even insist that they see hands, feet, a boy in a blue jacket and a man in a white shirt standing motionless in the background or around corners of the video where Kenneka is seen struggling to keep balance in the hotel hallways alone. As such, people are now gathered outside of the hotel , insisting that police release more footage and the “real, unedited” versions of these tapes so they can determine for themselves what truly happened on the night that Kenneka passed away.

Fox Business Host Charles Payne Accused Of Sexual Assault Fox Business Host Charles Payne is under fire today as a former Fox contributor is accusing him of sexual assault . 37-year-old Scottie Nell Hughes claims that she was coerced into a two-year extramarital affair with Payne, prompted by a sexual assault he committed inside her hotel room in July 2013. Scottie, who is also married, says the 56-year-old host frequently held the prospect of getting her fired from Fox News over her head to get his way with her. She has accused him of sexual harassment in the past, but a new lawsuit filing on Monday is the first mention of a sexual assault. According to Daily Mail , Hughes claims that the two began working together as contributors on Hannity, but it wasn’t long before Payne sought ways to get closer to her. Payne offered to mentor Hughes in the months afterward, and around July 9, Payne began pressuring her to give him her hotel room number over several hours. She relented and agreed to a private conversation with him that night, the suit claims, but when he came to her room he began to sexually assault her, saying ‘You know you want this.’ ‘You’ve been teasing me since that first time on set, wearing those short dresses over those long legs with your big boobs hanging out,’ he allegedly said. Despite Hughes repeatedly telling Payne ‘no,’ he continued and she stopped fighting back, fearing ‘irreparable physical harm,’ the suit claims. ‘After he raped her, Payne disturbingly announced on his way out, “This changes things.”‘ the suit says. In the years following the incident, Hughes says Payne repeatedly pressured her into an ongoing sexual affair, telling her that she needed a man at Fox News to “got to bat” for her at the network — especially if she wanted to get promoted to a full-time contributor position and get paid for her appearances, rather than commenting for free as she had been doing for years. SMH. We are not ones to victim blame over here by ANY means. But something seems off about being blackmailed into an affair, all to keep what is essentially a volunteer position…doesn’t it? But given how it goes down at that Network …it may not be all that far fetched. WENN/Getty
Vigil for Scout Schultz, president of GA Tech's Pride Alliance, killed by @GaTechPD last night #RestInPower pic.twitter.com/fyyZSHxiuz — Metro Atlanta DSA (@MetroATLDSA) September 17, 2017 Scout Schultz Killed By GA Tech Police The death of an LGBT activist on the campus of Georgia Tech is causing an uproar. Scout Schultz, an intersex person and the President of the Pride Alliance student group, was shot in the heart Saturday night in full view of students in their dorms. Video has surfaced of the incident and it shows Schultz, 21, in a parking lot telling the police to “shoot them.” Investigators report that they were called after a “person with a knife and a gun” was reportedly spotted on campus. In the video, Schultz is not seen holding a gun but there are reports that they had a pocket knife with the blade tucked in. There were reportedly four officers surrounding Schultz during the incident and they insisted that they dropped the knife. “Come on man, let’s drop the knife,” an officer is heard saying. “Nobody wants to hurt you, man.” Schultz was shot after they started advancing towards police. Schultz’ mother Lynne Schultz recently spoke with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and asked why officers didn’t use non-lethal force. “Why didn’t they use some nonlethal force, like pepper spray or Tasers?” said Lynne. GA Tech officials have since confirmed that their officers don’t carry stun guns. Lynne Schultz also told the AJC that Scout suffered from depression and had attempted suicide two years ago. She and several of Scout’s classmates are now looking for answers. This case is so crazy and we’re sure there are SEVERAL more developments to come. We’ll keep you posted as they become available.
Image via Splash/MSA/Supreme Blac Chyna Wants 7-Figure Check From Rob Kardashian Over Nude Leak B-b-b-b-but wait, it gets worse! If you thought that Blac Chyna won big with yesterday’s news that Rob Kardashian would have to pay her $20,000 per month in child support, wait ’til you get a load of THIS. According to TMZ , Chyna hasn’t forgotten that Rob pressed “share” on a gang of her nude pics and posted them to Instagram. As penance for this offense, Chyna, along with opportunist lawyer Lisa Bloom, are demanding that Rob cough up a seven-figure check to settle their lawsuit against him. Peep her argument: Chyna is still SUPER salty that she’s lost her weight-loss endorsements. She says the photos Rob leaked make it clear that she did not lose her weight the natural way, she lost it at the hand of a doctor’s scalpel. These brands aren’t trying to pay brand ambassadors who are circumventing their product to get slimmy trimmy. If Chyna doesn’t get a LEAST an “M” out of Rob, then she’s willing to take her grievance to court where it will likely cost Rob a LOT more. Rob is a whole azz moron and this broad is a goddess of finesse. She got the right one, baby. Word to Ray Charles. SMH. More Chyna on the flipper.
