Jen Harley and Ronnie Magro Seriously Can’t Quit Each Other

It seems very possible that Jen Harley recently pounded Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in the face. Despite this allegation, however, the troubled reality stars continue to pound each other. In the bedroom, we mean. Just a few days ago, Ronnie shared a close-up of his face and his left eye, both of which appeared to be battered and bruised. Along with this disturbing image, the veteran Jersey Shore cast member wrote as a caption: “Sorry for lying to my friends and family. Sometimes u love people so much [you’re] willing to lie and the hurt the people that love u the most to protect.” Translation: Harley beat the crap out of me again. Right? How else were we meant to interpret this message and this picture? A few months prior to Ronnie’s apparent assault reveal, he had been dragged down the street from a car that Harley was driving./ No, really: HARLEY DRAGGED RONNIE DOWN THE STREET BY HER CAR . And just a short time before this ridiculous incident, Harley was banned from a Las Vegas hotel after she (allegedly) got physical with Ronnie on a different occasion. And these altercations followed an ugly exchange between Ronnie and Harley on social media , as documented below. Simply put, these two do NOT belong together… View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro Brawls with Girlfriend on Instagram Live, Apologizes to Fans After Breakup Shortly after Ronnie shared the back eye picture, Jen replied to a fan on social media who asked about her having future contact with her baby daddy, writing: “No I will never speak to him again. I’ve kept my mouth shut for to (sic) long.” That was on Friday. On Saturday, Harley and Ronnie were spotted out and about, chilling with friends on a boat. The MTV star himself posted clips aboard the boat of him and Harley, the latter of whom was donning a pink fluoro bikini, as you can see in the first picture in this article above. According to TMZ, meanwhile, the effed up twosome was in Florida, celebrating Harley’s birthday with a handful of loved ones. On Sunday, Jen shared a series of text messages between her and Ortiz-Magro on Instagram, saying along with them: “the truth about the Black eye lol.” “I’ll fix it baby,” a message allegedly from Ronnie reads, assing: “U want me to post something say that I reacted out of anger and that it was a double sided incendet (sic) and we are working at making things better so we are never back in that situation again.” “Lmfao. Nahhhh so it look like your so scared of me you had too,” Harley responded, adding that Ortiz-Magro made her “wanna puke right now.” We can’t figure these two out, that’s for certain. But we do know they have a six-month old daughter at home and better shape the hecl up for her sake. Harley and Ortiz-Magro, who started dating in July 2017, have documented their tumultuous relationship on social media and on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. You can tune in each Thursday night to see how this awful relationship plays out. Just consider yourself warned: It will be funny at first and then, once you realize they are parents of a baby girl, it will be downright nauseating and awful to witness.

#FloridaMan: Police Arrest 56-Year-Old White Male Cesar Sayoc In Connection To “Suspicious Package” Mail Bombs, Van Covered In Trump Stickers

Image via Alistair Berg Cesar Sayoc Arrested In Florida For Suspicious Package Bombs Welp, that didn’t take long. Cable news outlet MSNBC is reporting that police in Plantation, Florida have arrested a 56-year-old white male named Cesar Sayoc and will be charging him with the construction and distribution of the dozen pipe bombs that were sent to Donald Trump detractors. According to the Sun-Sentinel , FBI agents surrounded a white van covered in pro-Trump stickers that was sitting in a commercial parking lot. “Our bomb squad and K-9 Unit are currently providing assistance to our federal partners at the Opa-locka mail facility as part of the ongoing investigation into suspicious packages located in other jurisdictions,” Colome said in a statement. “This assistance is as a precautionary measure. We cannot provide additional information at this time due to the active nature of this federal investigation.” There is a press conference scheduled at 2:30PM (EST) by the U.S. Department of Justice to address the nation and reveal more information about the person arrested and other pertinent details. I will be speaking at the Young Black Leadership Summit in 15 minutes where I will address the investigation into the bomb packages. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 26, 2018 Donald Trump will be addressing the situation in a matter of minutes. We can’t even imagine what type of f***ery he’s gonna say to these Black conservatives much less what he’ll say about the arrest. BOSSIP will keep you abreast of all breaking news.

T allahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum delivered a powerful debate performance Wednesday night against his Republican rival for Florida governor Ron DeSantis . See Also: White Supremacists Release Anti-Andrew Gillum Robocall Featuring Monkey Sounds Gillum, who’s making a bid to become the state’s first African-American governor, shredded the GOP candidate with his sharp wit and piercing comments. Here are some of his best shots. Here are 5 takeaways from Andrew Gillum's second debate against Ron DeSantis for Florida governor… https://t.co/iIj6fKkA0j #RepresentTheVote pic.twitter.com/tI4UQjYrrm — NewsOne (@newsone) October 25, 2018   DeSantis’ racism When DeSantis was cornered on his close ties to racists, he began raising his voice and getting defensive. “As my grandmother used to say, a hit dog will holler.”   He added this gem: “I’m not calling him a racist. But the racists believe he’s a racist.” As my grandmother used to say — a hit dog will holler. pic.twitter.com/kC34Ldd0is — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 25, 2018   Political divisiveness The candidates were asked whether the divisiveness in the nation’s political discourse has pushed some people to the edge, prompting actions like sending pipe bombs in the mail to high-profile Democrats. Gillum argued that DeSantis is part of the problem. He pointed to comments DeSantis made on Fox News in which he warned Floridians not to “monkey this up” by voting for his Black opponent. Soon after DeSantis blew that racist dog whistle, neo-Nazis began sending out robocalls that included jungle music and monkey calls in the background. “My opponent has run this race very close to the Trump handbook where we call each other names.”   Teacher salaries Gillum noted that teachers’ salaries in Florida are ranked the 45th lowest of the 50 states. “If my grandmother was here, she wouldn’t just say that’s a shame, she would say that’s a crying shame.”   Gillum called out DeSantis for telling lies about his policy positions “In the last debate, Mr. DeSantis lied 21 times. Now, today makes the 22nd, and we’ve just started this debate.”   “Mr. DeSantis in the last debate lied 21 times. 21 times. And now today makes the 22nd and we just started this debate.” – @AndrewGillum #FLGovDebate pic.twitter.com/L6r7zXdpDE — Brynna Quillin (@brynnaquillin) October 24, 2018 Medicaid expansion and healthcare policy DeSantis tried desperately to defend his multiple votes in Congress to end Obamacare without having a suitable replacement. Gillum explained to the former congressman that healthcare is a top issue for Floridians. He recalled his childhood experiences. “I remember having to wait for the free dental clinic to come through my neighborhood to have my teeth cleaned.”   DeSantis questioned the moderator’s data from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office’s report that rejected the healthcare plan that the former congressman and his GOP colleagues promoted. Gillum delivered this zinger. “Mr. DeSantis could have a monopoly on his opinion, but he doesn’t have a monopoly on facts. Facts matter.”   Corruption scandal One of the big questions before the debate rematch was how Gillum would respond to an onslaught from DeSantis over an FBI probe into possible Tallahassee government corruption, in which the mayor was reportedly not the target of the investigation. On Tuesday, text messages were made public about the source of tickets Gillum received to the Broadway musical “Hamilton” that appear to contradict his statements at the first debate on the issue. “In the state of Florida we have 99 issues, and Hamilton ain’t one of them.”   The Republican taxes overhaul Gillum called the GOP tax overhaul that boosted the bottom line for corporations a failure for working class families. The Republicans promised that there would be a “magical trickle down” to poor people. Instead of a pay raise to working class families, the tax overhaul gave the nation something else. “They have drilled a deep hole into the national debt and working people haven’t seen any appreciable rise in their wages.”   . @AndrewGillum delivered a powerful rejection of Trump's hateful politics of division at last night's debate for Florida governor. We're with Gillum! pic.twitter.com/FuO5cOLsFV — MoveOn (@MoveOn) October 22, 2018 Families continue to struggle financially While the Trump administration and Republicans tout falling unemployment rates, wages have not increased. “Forty-four percent of people in the state of Florida say they can’t make ends meet at the end of the month. Mr. DeSantis’ big donors may be doing just fine. They’ve got their yachts and boats. For the rest of the working people in this state, they simply want a wage they could live on.”   Immigration “We’re not going to criminalize people of their personhood simply because you’re a brown-skinned person or that you speak a language that may be of a foreign tongue to Mr. DeSantis or you live in a neighborhood that may include more brown people. That doesn’t, in and of itself, subject you to racial profiling. That’s the essence of what he would be promoting.”   SEE ALSO: Ron DeSantis’ Racist History Didn’t Just Begin With His ‘Monkey’ Attack On Andrew Gillum Megyn Kelly Hypocritical On Abuse Of Women [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3833255″ overlay=”true”]

Best Andrew Gillum Debate Quotes From His Rematch With Ron DeSantis

Jenelle Evans: Seriously, David Eason Never Abused Me!

Did anyone ever think that Jenelle Evans’ life would get as tragic as it’s gotten? Well, yeah. Pretty much from the first moment she was introduced to the world in her episode of 16 and Pregnant, it wasn’t hard to see that her life would likely go in a dark direction. But still, watching it all happen has been overwhelming . Jenelle has never had what anyone would call a perfect life, or even a nice life, really. Her father abandoned her family when she was a small child, and she’s always had problems getting along with her mother. She got pregnant at a young age by an older guy who pretended to be invested right up until the baby was born, then he disappeared. She gave us custody of the baby to her mom, got arrested a whole bunch of times, got addicted to heroin, had a string of abusive relationships. One guy got her pregnant again, but she had an abortion, only to get pregnant again shortly after that with a different guy. She had another kid, even though she never got back custody of the first one, and a couple of years after that, she had another kid with another new guy. And nope, still never got custody of that first one. So yeah, things have been always been sort of rough for this girl. But this month, things took a seriously bad turn . Everyone’s always been worried about David Eason and what he might do to her, because David Eason has clearly always been bad news. Ever since he first appeared on Teen Mom 2, fans have noticed all sorts of red flags about his relationship with Jenelle. Pair that up with all those stories about how he allegedly assaulted his exes, including the one who claimed in court documents that he shoved her to the ground when she was eight months pregnant with their son … Yeah, it’s not great. But earlier this month, a report was released that claimed that a 911 call had been made from Jenelle and David’s home, and that the caller had reported an assault . Jenelle Evans 911 Call Jenelle’s rep denied the report, saying that she’d just tripped and fallen by a bonfire. Then the actual call was released a few days later , and … well, it was very dark. It began with Jenelle sobbing hysterically and telling the operator that David “pinned me down on the ground in the yard, and I think I heard my f-cking collarbone crack and I can’t move my arms.” An ambulance was called but later cancelled, and someone took her to the hospital privately instead. After the call was released — which, to be clear, was truly disturbing and terrifying to hear — she released a statement herself. “It was a drunk and dramatic misunderstanding,” she claimed. ” Everything is great. We are totally fine .” “We are feeling fine,” she insisted. “Just taking time off social media … time to focus on ourselves and our family.” Yeah, because after the initial report was released, she deleted her Twitter and Facebook pages. Because that’s not scary. Since then, a Teen Mom 2 production source has claimed that Jenelle’s new story is that she did trip by that bonfire and when she fell, she fell into David. And since they were both so drunk, they thought they were assaulting each other. There are about a billion problems with that story — how were they that drunk with their boatload of children? Why would they think a trip was an assault? But the point is that they’re both still trying to convince us all that everything is fine. The latest example of this is this new photo that Jenelle shared on Instagram last night: “We love good food,” she captioned the picture, with the hashtags “dinner date,” “beard goals,” and “get silly.” It’s interesting to see that she’s still covering herself up much more than normal — perhaps to hide injuries from that bonfire fall? A quick look at her comments, however, shows that absolutely no one is buying what she’s trying to sell. “You are beautiful!” a kind follower told her. “Find a man who will treat u better girl.” Another sweet person wrote “You can try to fool the world but the real chaos will come up. Praying for you. Yikes.” “Are you waiting to be killed by him?” one person asked. “Stop fooling yourself. Think of your kids…. rooting for you. Hope you’ll find a way out.” Someone else said that Jenelle “trying to put on a front here that they are all lovie dovey” is “very very sad,” and yep, it really is. Most of her followers are being supportive like this right now, urging her to leave him or just offering prayers or wishing her well. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: Family and Friends Beg Teen Mom 2 Star to Leave David Eason But still, Jenelle ignored all those kinds of comments and only replied to ones about David’s beard, explaining that she straightened it for him. Here’s hoping that things get better for her soon, or, at the very least, that they don’t get any worse.

White Supremacists Release Anti-Andrew Gillum Robocall Featuring Monkey Sounds

More:

A representative for Andrew Gillum  spoke out Tuesday against a White supremacist website’s racist robocall referring to the candidate as a “negro” and “monkey.” RELATED:  5 Takeaways From Andrew Gillum’s Masterful Debate Dismantling Of Ron DeSantis “These disgusting, abhorrent robocalls represent a continuation of the ugliest, most divisive campaign in Florida’s history,” Geoff Burgan told  The Huffington Post  after Gillum’s acclaimed performance during Sunday night’s debate . “We would hope that these calls, and the dangerous people who are behind them, are not given anymore attention than they already have been.” An actor, presumably hired or associated with the Neo-Nazi website The Road To Power, pretended to be Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate during the call. The actor spoke in an exaggerated stereotypical Black southern voice over music from the minstrel era and “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” a TV sitcom that perpetuated several racist tropes about Black people in the 1950s. The person is heard saying, “Well hello there. I is the Negro Andrew Gillum, and I be asking you to make me governor of this here state of Florida.” A screeching monkey sound is also heard on the horrific robocall, which circulated on Tuesday. The robocall refers to Andrew Gillum as a “negro” and a “monkey.” https://t.co/T1Opyvc1nw — NBCBLK (@NBCBLK) October 23, 2018 The ad veers into more terrible territory when the actor describes Gillum’s health care plan as “quite cheap” because “he’ll just give chicken feet to people as medicine.” The call also mentions that Jewish voters will support Gillum because Jews are “the ones that been putting Negroes in charge over the white folk, just like they done after the Civil War.” After the call ends, a disclaimer points out that The Road To Power website and podcast’s name is responsible for the ad. The Idaho-based group has a history of making racist robocalls, including those previously made against Gillum in August as well as in several other states such as Oregon and Virginia. As to whether Ron DeSantis has anything to do with the racist robocall, his camp fiercely denied any connection and denounced the ad in a statement. DeSantis, however, had blown a racist dog whistle with his comment advising Florida voters not to “ monkey up ” the election by voting for Gillum.

Jon James McMurray, Canadian Rapper, Dies During Airplane Stunt

Jon James McMurray, a rapper well known and well respected in his native country of Canada, died Saturday while filming a stunt for his latest music video. He was 34 years old. The musician’s management team has confirmed the sad news, saying McMurray lost his life after plunging to the ground while walking on the wing of a plane. “He died filming a project he had been working on for months,” reads this team’s statement, adding: “His final act included performing an airplane stunt that included rapping while walking on the wing. He had trained intensely for this stunt. “However, as Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn’t correct. “Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly.” What a tragedy. The incident took place in Vernon, British Columbia. McMurray, who was also an accomplished skier, pursued music after a back injury prevented him from continuing his ski career. He released an album titled Rex Leo in 2016. Jon was an incredibly passionate person and was always smiling. He filled everyone around him with positivity, and never spoke poorly about another person. He truly had a heart of gold,” the statement continues. “Jon would want to be remembered as a beacon of light to follow your dreams, and would want everyone to continue to be inspired through his music and life message.” According to Newsweek, McMurray’s previous stunt performances involved numerous serious injuries — including seven surgeries, two of which were for a fractured neck and broken back. Rory Wayne Bushfield, a skier who was featured in McMurray’s video, paid tribute to the late rapper on Instagram Monday. He wrote the following: The sun is not as bright today as it was yesterday when it was shinning on my homies last moments. Jon James Mcmurray, my very best, dearest and oldest friend passed yesterday evening in a skydiving accident. He was living his ultimate dream, free and full. May he Rest In Peace. I’m gonna miss him so much. Thanks for all the lessons over the years fee. You where such a good man, you brought up everyone around you and I promise to try my best to live as free as you did. Jon is survived by his parents, Doug McMurray and Jen McMurray, his wife, Kali James, and his brother Jarred McMurray. A GoFundMe account has been set up in the rapper’s honor to help fund his celebration of life, as well as to help get his material “out there to the world in the right way.” “We lost Jon James McMurray yesterday,” the page reads. “He touched and lifted so many people in his brief stay here. He also documented everything he did relentlessly. “His close friends and family want to make something incredible with what fee left us. It’s what he would have wanted most of all.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Jenelle Evans Uses Pumpkin Patch Pics to Distract From 911 Scandal

Jenelle Evans, her husband, David Eason, and her mom, Barbara Evans took at least a couple of Jennelle's kids to a pumpkin patch on Sunday. It's a pretty normal activity for the second half of October. It's seasonally appropriate. The pictures that you're about to see of Jenelle's children, Jace and Ensley, playing among the pumpkins are adorable. But this visit to a pumpkin patch comes just one week after Jenelle Evans was rushed to the hospital following a shocking 911 call . In the chilling call to emergency services, Jenelle revealed that she sustained injuries following a physical attack by her husband. Now, she's insisting that everything is fine — and wants these photos to help you forget all about that scandal. 1. David Eason posted a lot of the photos Jenelle deleted her Twitter to “take a break” from social media, but they’re both still showing you the side of their family that they WANT you to see on Instagram. 2. Focus on the pumpkins, not the abuse scandal There was no sign of Kaiser in these photos. 3. Say what you will about Jenelle, but she makes some cute kids It was admittedly sweet to see Jace and Ensley get to spend time together in a safe environment 4. Ensley is getting to be a handful Ever held a small child when they’re through being held? It’s not as easy as it sounds 5. Barbara was in on the whole visit We wonder if she knew that these photos would be used as a smokescreen to distract from Jenelle’s recent 911 call 6. Ensley is genuinely cute, folks But not all of Jenelle’s followers were so easily distracted … View Slideshow

Southwest Flight Makes Emergency Landing Due to Non-Consensual Footsie

One of the many stresses of flying is that you don’t know if you’ll be seated beside a normal person, a talker, or maybe some creep masturbating on a Southwest flight . We hate to refer to this airline incident as non-consensual footsie , but we’re at a loss as to what else to call this creepy assault. After a man started rubbing his feet upon his neighbor’s and refused to stop, things escalated — and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing. Justin Brafford is a 29-year-old man from Texas. He is now facing charges for simple assault and for intimidating a flight crew on his Southwest flight from Los Angeles to Dallas. This began with, as we mentioned, non-consensual footsie as he allegedly rubbed his feet against those of the woman beside him. Unfortunately, this peak horror scenario was only the beginning of the nightmare that forced a Southwest flight to make an emergency landing. Not satisfied by merely using his feet to make her life a living hell, he also began verbal harassment. It sounds like she tried to weather this assault — and let’s be clear, rubbing your foot against someone without their permission is assault. But when he allegedly warned her “don’t f–k with me,” she was able to persuade a flight attendant to allow her to change seats. That should have been the end of her story of the worst flight of her life, right? Well, Brafford then got up and confronted her at her new seat, apparently offended that he didn’t appreciate his unwanted attention. Flight attendants tried to intervene and persuade him to return to his seat. They were unsuccessful. Brafford is said to have then launched into an expletive-laden rant aimed primarily at the woman who had fled from his assault. Apparently whatever he was saying was not only foul, but alarming. (And, to be fair, his erratic behavior — far beyond what you’d expect from a run-of-the-mill creep who thought he could exploit social norms to cop a feel — was also alarming) The flight crew alerted the pilot, and the plane was forced to divert and make an emergency landing in Albuquerque. Brafford was then escorted from the plane. That whole incident sounds deeply harrowing and seems beyond explanation. But police say that they know why it happened. Authorities say that Brafford was high on methamphetamines. We don’t mean that he was a little wired — reports say that he believed that he was hearing “calls” from God while on the illicit substances. He had taken the methamphetamines the day before the flight, and he had apparently overdosed on heroin over the weekend. If you’d planned on pairing that combo of drug experiences before boarding a flight, we’d advise against it. Brafford is, of course, super in jail. Our legal system may not make it easy for women to get justice when they are assaulted, but misbehavior on airplanes in a post-9/11 world does not go over well. He could face as much as 20 years behind bars for his prolonged outburst. He could also face a fine of as much as $250,000. Messing with a flight crew is, after all, a federal offense. We’re not normally in the business of feeling sorry for major, oligopolistic corporations. Or of airlines, for that matter. But we kind of feel for Southwest here. It sounds to us like they responded in the best way possible, but their name is still all over this story. Officials at Southwest have affirmed for the bajillionth time that their first priority is the safety and comfort of their passengers. The flight was then able to continue to Dallas without incident.
