Anthony Anderson Responds to Allegation of Assault

Anthony Anderson is under criminal investigation. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that it received a report against the Black-ish star, with The Blast writing that Anderson is accused of assaulting a woman last year after an event she catered for him. Inside tell the aforementioned website that the unnamed victum met with Anderson a second time after the event to discuss future opportunities. This is supposedly when the assault took place, although no other details are really known about it at this time Sources tell The Blast that the woman reported the incident months after it allegedly happened, as she was inspired by the #MeToo movement to finally speak out. “We have a crime report listing him as a suspect in a crime. It is an open investigation,” the LAPD has simply said in response to this story. A spokesperson for the star, meanwhile, has issued a statement on Anderson’s behalf. It reads as follows: “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report, whether it is true or false. “The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim. Back in 2004, Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon were accused of raping an extra on the set of the 2004 film “Hustle & Flow.” However, the charges were later dropped when the judge ruled that there was no probable cause to try the case. This has no practical bearing on the latest charges, we’re just reporting a few facts. Anderson was just nominated his fourth Emmy Award for his portrayal of Andre Johnson, the patriarch on the ABC sitcom Black-ish. He is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this year, as well. On the small screen, Anderson’s resume includes appearance and/or starring roles on Guys with Kids, Treme, Psych, Shameless and The Shield. On the big screen, he has had roles in The Departed (2006), Kangaroo Jack (2003) and Transformers (2007) and Scream 4 (2011). Anderson is married with two kids. We’ll have more on this story if/when news breaks.

Bye Beyoncé Biter! Tiffany Haddish Says Sanaa Lathan’s Family Accused Her Of ‘Trying To Ruin Her Career’

For your viewing pleasure… Tiffany Haddish Covers The Hollywood Reporter, Speaks On Sanaa Lathan & Tracy Morgan Tiffany Haddish is currently covering The Hollywood Reporter where she’s dubbed “Comedy’s New Queen” and speaking on her rise from South Central L.A. to Hollywood stardom. The comedienne, 38, sat down with THR and spoke candidly on a number of topics including Tracy Morgan who shaded her in that interview and demanded to stop being asked about her. “He’s probably just tired of hearing my name. It’s exhausting. I’m tired of hearing my name. I could see how that could be irritating, like, ‘Hello, I died, people. I’m back from the dead. Tiffany’s cool, but it’s me sitting here now.’ So, I get it, I’m not mad about it, I love me some Tracy. Things got especially interesting however when Tiffany spoke on Sanaa Lathan who was confirmed (not by Tiffany) as the Beyonce biter in that infamous story. According to Tiffany Sanaa’s family was BIG mad at her and she was accused of trying to ruin her career. Not true says Tiffany, who’s adamant that she simply told the story to show that Baddie Bey kept her out of handcuffs that night. “I’m super good friends with her stepmom and her dad, and they were mad at me,” Haddish told The Hollywood Reporter . “They were like, ‘Why would you do this to the family? You know, black actresses, you guys have to stick together, it’s so hard for you guys to get work as it is, why would you try to ruin her career?’ But I didn’t try to ruin her career. I never said her name! I was just trying to say how Beyoncé kept me from goin’ to jail that night. I coulda just shut my whole career down.” Sorry Sanaa, looks this story isn’t going away ANY time soon… Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images More from Tiffany’s The Hollywood Reporter interview on the flip.

You Can’t Hide: Hateful Hypocrite Cheetoh-In-Chief Cries “Due Process” And Gets Dragged By Ava Duvernay

Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images/ D Dipasupil/Getty Images/Jen Lowery/SplashNews Donald Trump Talks About The Damage Of False Accusations And Gets Dragged One thing about the past. It does not forget. Old Orange in Chief’s history of hate is biting him in his hypocritical hindparts… Cheetoh sent out a tweet Saturday presumably about his staff secretary Rob Porter, who has been accused of domestic violence by both of his former wives, CRYING about due process and how people’s lives are being shattered by mere allegation. Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused – life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2018 The problem with that is that Donald Trump is the same a$$hole who called for the death penalty for five TEENAGE boys who were later proven innocent. Ava Duvernay took to Instagram and Twitter to share the sentiments of Raymond Santana, one of the Central Park Five and reveal plans to bring their story to the screen. “You should have spoke like that back in 1989. You called for the death penalty. We were 14 & 15 years old kids.” @santanaraymond , one of the #centralparkfive . We will tell the story. You can’t hide. https://t.co/CRdjqOLNBn — Ava DuVernay (@ava) February 11, 2018 Here’s the original tweet from Santana: You should have spoke like that back in 1989… #thecentralpark5 , you called for the #deathpenalty , we were 14 & 15 years old.. #kids https://t.co/Zo90LKsYgr — The central park 5 (@santanaraymond) February 10, 2018 And Ava wasn’t the only one speaking out against Trump’s hypocrisy. Central Park Five exonerated when DNA evidence proved they did not commit crime. Trump: “I still think it was them.” Photos and statements of physical abuse by Rob Porter's ex-wives. Trump: “As you probably know, he says he’s innocent, and I think you have to remember that.” — David Jaros (@ProfDavidJaros) February 9, 2018 Also, this is the man who took out full page ads in 4 major papers to 'bring back the death penalty' in NY against 5 black & latino kids who had not received 'due process' so spare me #CentralParkFive cc @santanaraymond https://t.co/CoW8n7Hqku — Nida Khan (@NidaKhanNY) February 10, 2018 @santanaraymond @dr_yusefsalaam @ShaunKing – If there's going to be a discussion w/ Trump on the importance of #dueprocess , please do not forget to remind him of this as well! His (adult) staff only lost their jobs, not years off their lives! #CentralParkFive pic.twitter.com/OdE0S6UqEV — Dr. Scott Bowman (@DrScottBowman) February 10, 2018 Are you looking forward to seeing Ava’s version of the Central Park Five story? Do you think we’ll get to see it before Ol’ Orangey leaves office? Continue reading

Catelynn Lowell: Struggling to Cope with Miscarriage

Reports that Catelynn Lowell suffered a miscarriage are heartbreaking . The Teen Mom OG star has reportedly sought guidance from rehab, but fans are now for the first time seeing her joy upon learning that she’s pregnant on the show itself. Quite the contrast from her current grim reality. A new report reveals how Catelynn is coping … and that MTV’s crew has been instructed to walk on eggshells around her in this trying time. On the most recent episode of Teen Mom OG , Catelynn Lowell revealed that she was pregnant. She shared the news with Tyler Baltierra by putting Nova in a shirt that read “I’m going to be a big sister!” Kind of a weird way for Tyler to find out what was, at the time, good news. But a cute reveal nonetheless. Unfortunately, we already know that Catelynn Lowell suffered a miscarriage. That’s one of the pitfalls of reality television being filmed months in advance — you see sad life events coming in the distance like an oncoming train, but you can’t get off of the tracks. Catelynn has reportedly not taken this well. Everyone grieves differently. Everyone processes negative emotions differently. And no two people have the exact same response to the very personal tragedy of a miscarriage. Considering the childhood trauma that Catelynn has endured, it’s very understandable that she faces additional challenges when it comes to grief and loss. Grappling with suicidal thoughts, Catelynn Lowell checked herself into rehab for her own safety and well-being. As a reality star, Catelynn has to relive her suffering as her story unfolds for fans and viewers on Teen Mom OG . But there is still so much that fans don’t know. Obviously, many — though not all — know better than to directly ask Catelynn about her alleged miscarriage and about details of her stint in rehab. Keep in mind that a lot of this is unconfirmed, but based upon reports of what people who work on the show were told. Still, the story adds up. The pregnancy reports (now confirmed on the show), the confession of suicidal ideation, the rehab reports. This is all so sad. HollywoodLife reports on how Catelynn Lowell is coping and on the Teen Mom OG star’s current state of mind: “Catelynn is not ready for any of this to be public right now so it’s complicated.” Yes, it certainly is. “It’s such a delicate subject there’s a lot of mystery around what exactly happened and the crew has been told not to ask her about it and not to mention it to anyone so there is a lot of unknowns.” True. It’s good that the crew has been instructed to be sensitive at this time, but there has to be some unspoken awkwardness on set. Or so we imagine. “Obviously Catelynn is having a very hard time coping right now so the priority is just getting her stable again.” Absolutely. We all want to know, but Catelynn’s health and well-being come first. Still, the source ends on a positive note. “It’s a dark time, but she’s a fighter and she’ll make it through.” Considering all that Catelynn has already been through, we’re inclined to agree. Catelynn may have filmed rehab footage for Teen Mom OG . If so, we’ll all get front-row seats to an early and crucial stage of her recovery. But grief and mourning aren’t something that you can complete during a stint at an Arizona facility. Regardless of what makes it on camera, we expect that Catelynn will share her story with fans when she’s good and ready. View Slideshow: Catelynn Lowell Checks into Rehab AGAIN: What Happened?!
