Jussie Smollett’s Exoneration Causes Racial Rift On Social Media

Go here to read the rest:

Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Jussie Smollett is officially a free man. As we all know, Chicago PD accused the Empire actor of staging his own attack back in January , but according to TMZ their case has been dropped. This morning, the site shocked the nation, reporting : “Jussie and his lawyers ran to court Tuesday morning in Chicago, where he was facing 16 felony counts of lying to police in the alleged racial and homophobic attack. Jussie will surrender his $10,000 bond. But, that’s it. The case is over. We’re told the State’s Attorney, Kim Foxx, told Chicago police she was dropping the case because Jussie would have only gotten community service if convicted and she said he has already performed community service so there is no point in prosecuting him. We could not find any record of Smollett doing community service.” Jussie’s lawyers also put out a statement that reaffirmed his innocence… “Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by 2 people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public, causing an inappropriate rush to judgment.” “Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions,” they reportedly went on. “This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result.” State’s Attorney Kim Foxx weighed in on her decision to not prosecute the actor. Backing up TMZ’s original report, she said: “After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case.” As for why Jussie surrendered his bond money, Jussie’s lawyer said during a live-streamed press conference that many people in Jussie’s situation see fit to do so. She then went on to highlight his continued service to the community. During the same press conference, a weary looking Jussie said that this time in his life has been “incredibly difficult.” Jussie Smollett: “I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one…This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly one of the worst of my entire life” https://t.co/kNQqMavks3 pic.twitter.com/j8JakzSF4X — CBS News (@CBSNews) March 26, 2019 Hit the flip to see what Jussie’s family had to say, plus more viral reactions from Twitter…there’s lots of white folks who are super upset, are we surprised? Not really. *No charges against Trump* Conservatives: THIS TOTALLY EXONERATES HIM! *No charges against Jussie Smollett* Conservatives: Well, um, you see, uh, the thing about that is… — Adam Best (@adamcbest) March 26, 2019

Javi Marroquin: It Was HILARIOUS When Jenelle Evans Lit Kailyn Lowry’s Stuff on Fire!

About once a month, the never-ending feud between Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans rears its ugly head. Normally, when two reality stars are so continually getting on each other's nerves, we chalk it up to scripted drama. But in the case of Jenelle and Kail, that doesn't seem to be the case. These two aren't even filming at the moment, and they almost never share screen time. Nevertheless, they're continually locking horns on social media, and this time, Kail's ex-husband and one of her best friends are involved. Take a look:   1. Best Frenemies It wasn’t all that long ago that Jenelle and Kail enjoyed a close friendship. How times have changed. 2. Bitter Feud These days, Jenelle and Kail harbor intense ill will toward one another. 3. Olive Branch Extended … But to her credit, Kail has at least tried to bury the hatchet with her cantankerous castmate. 4. … And Rejected Unfortunately, it seems Jenelle has no interest in healing old wounds and letting bygones be bygones. 5. Peace Pipe As you may recall, Kail launched yet another business venture in December — a line of CBD-infused hair care products dubbed Pothead. 6. Doing Her Best Kail sent some samples of the line to Jenelle, who was not too pleased with the peace offering. View Slideshow

Ireland Baldwin Still Trying to be Hot of the Day

Ireland Baldwin called her a pig when she was a little kid. It was a public statement that was released during his divorce to her mom Kim Bassinger…and it circulated around the world in an era when calling a woman, and a little girl a pig, didn’t ruin your career. He went on unscathed to play Donald Trump on SNL…amongst other hit roles in hit shows making stupid money….even though you’d think if he was to do that today…he’d be blacklisted…even if you look at Ireland Baldwin in these slutty content pics she’s been producing to get noticed…because even at 6 foot 5 and 240 lbs….she has a hard time getting noticed….you’d have think maybe her dad, who knows her best, was speaking truths and facts…and she is the pig he said she was…I mean that’s the story these pics are telling me…and pics don’t lie…unless they are slutty selfies on instagram which they are probably a lie thanks to photo retouching apps that help girls recreate their body shape.

Big Sean Shares His Personal Growth Journey & His Battle With Mental Illness

Jordyn Woods is About to Star in a … Music Video?!?

Perhaps Jordyn Woods doesn’t need Kylie Jenner after all. The 21-year old model is now excommunicated from the entire Jenner/Kardashian clan after she kissed Tristan Thompson on the lips and then failed to tell his girlfriend about what transpired. Aside from being an inappropriate act, most observers also deemed this to be a straight-up stupid act by Woods because it meant she could no longer live off Kylie, her long-time best friend. Right before the Smooch Heard ‘Round the World, for example, Woods was living in the guest house of the world’s youngest self-made billionaire . Now cut off from Kylie and company, it’s been assumed that Jordyn would have difficulty living the wealthy lifestyle with which she’s grown accustomed. But maybe we were too quick to judge Woods… … or at least her supposedly desperate situation. According to E! News,  Woods has been tapped to star in 16-year-old YouTube personality and singer Justin Roberts’ upcoming music video, “Way Too Much,” along with fellow some social media influencer named Sofia Jamora. And it sounds like the cheating scandal in which Woods has been embroiled actually helped her land this unexpected gig. The single is an homage to young celebrities in the spotlight of social media, sources confirm, along with the consequences when fame becomes – you guessed it – “Way Too Much.” Per E!, the video “has a Toy Story meets The Matrix vibe and the women play life-size dolls who are assembled and packaged in a toy factory — and then make a daring escape from captivity.” Sounds… interesting. Filming on this project commenced last Wednesday. We don’t yet know when it will be unveiled to the public. Woods, meanwhile, has started to emerge from a mini hiatus of late. She didn’t say much after her spit swap with Thompson went viral; not until she appeared opposite Jada Pinkett Smith on that actress’ Facebook Watch talk show and opened up about what happened with Tristan. Yes, they kissed, she admitted. God, no, she alleged at the time, they did NOT do anything more than that. Jordyn Woods: I SWEAR I’m No Homewrecker! “I should have gone home after the party. I shouldn’t even have been there,” Woods told Pinkett Smith of how she regrets going back to Thompson’s house with a group of friends after an evening out. She added at the time: “Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him. It’s just, we’re all together, we’re in a group. Never once did we leave the public area, go to a bedroom, go to a bathroom. We’re all in plain sight.” So, what actually went down between Khloe Kardashian’s now-ex-boyfriend and her now-former-good pal? “On the way out, he did kiss me,” Woods has admitted. “It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss, no making out, nothing. And I don’t think that he’s wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position, and when alcohol’s involved, people make dumb moves or people get caught up in the moment. View Slideshow: Jordyn Woods: Who is Kylie Jenner’s BFF (and Khloe’s Home-Wrecker)?! Khloe initially blasted Woods for what she said in this interview. But she later softened her stance and blamed Thompson for destroying her family instead. “I know I’m not the reason that Tristan and Khloé are not together,” Woods said to Smith. “Now, this situation may have made it harder for her to want to be with him, and I understand that, but I know I’m not the reason.” At this point, though, that detail almost doesn’t matter. What does matter is that Khloe has at last dumped Tristan, Kylie has done the same to Jordyn and everyone can move on with their lives. For Woods, that doesn’t even appear to be a bad thing these days. UPDATE : Justin’s song and music video “Way Too Much” is scheduled for release on April 12.

Leah Messer: Daughter Says N-Word in Shocking New Video!

Leah Messer … let’s be honest, the girl used to be an absolute mess. Like, there was a time she was one of the most troubled Teen Mom stars, and that time wasn’t all that long ago. As she explained in a recent interview , she had some health problems after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Addie, the one she shares with Jeremy Calvert. She had a c-section that went wrong somehow, and she was prescribed painkillers, and you probably see where this is going. Leah developed a bit of an addiction, so much that she sometimes resorted to getting the painkillers from her father instead of from her doctor. She also developed anxiety about the pain she was feeling, so she was prescribed Valium, which is another addictive drug. Teen Mom 2 fans will remember those scenes when Leah nodded off mid-conversation — she said that was because of the Valium. Around this time period, she also lost custody of her older daughters , Gracie and Ali, to their father, Corey Simms. This was because she was struggling to get them to school on time, but on the show, we saw the girls complain about her not having any food in the house and sending them to school hungry. Like we said, it was a bad time. In 2015, she went to rehab to deal with her addiction and anxiety , and she’s really managed to turn things around. She seems like an entirely different person than she was back then, and it’s been wonderful to see. That’s kind of why it’s extra upsetting to see her in the middle of a brand new mess. OK, so last week, Addie was in the hospital , and she was diagnosed with mono. Leah and Jeremy shared some photos and videos of her in her hospital room, and she was just as goofy as ever, even while sick. And it really looks like she’s not letting mono hold her down, because yesterday, Leah posted another video on Instagram Live, this one of Addie bouncing around on a bed and singing along to a Cardi B song. The song had the N-word in it … you know the one. And Addie said it. She hesitated a bit, which is almost worst, because it shows that she knows she probably shouldn’t say it, but she definitely said it. We don’t have to explain why white people don’t need to be saying that word, do we? Even six-year-old white people singing along to Cardi B. But it happened. Addie said it, Leah watched it, she recorded it, then she put it on Instagram for her two million followers to watch it. It’s just not a great situation. If you’re having trouble understanding why that is, let’s look at some comments about the video from the fine folks over at Reddit. As one person wrote, “She should not be listening to explicit music (specifically music with the N word in it, when she’s probably way too young to understand what it means/why she shouldn’t say it!) and it certainly shouldn’t be filmed and put out there like this.” “Tacky as hell for a 6 year old to even be rapping along to crap like Cardi B, let alone using the n word like nothing,” another comment read. “And even tackier of Leah’s dumb ass to be posting this crap for millions of people to see.” One Reddit user called this “awful parenting,” and explained that “It’s a popular song and I understand kids will sing it in school etc. but the VERY least you can do is let them listen to the clean version.” “I’m obviously not gonna drag Addie for singing the n word (she doesn’t know the meaning) but how is Leah so dumb that she’d post her kid singing along to cuss words and raunchy music?” another person asked. Really, Leah should have known better at several different points here.

Khloe Kardashian: I Couldn’t Make Tristan Thompson Love Me, But Boy, I Tried!

Khloe Kardashian still seems to be having quite a difficult time with her split from Tristan Thompson. And on one hand, we get it. He’s the father of True, her daughter, who still isn’t even a year old yet, and Khloe thought he’d be her husband one day, too. She thought that if she could work through that first cheating scandal , the one from when she was pregnant, it would all be good and she’d have the family she always wanted. So yes, of course she’s still struggling now, a little over a month after she dumped him . But on the other hand, Tristan is a garbage human being and it’s hard to imagine not full-out celebrating his departure from her life, you know? Last month, Tristan did something with Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner’s former best friend and friend to the Kardashian family as well. Jordyn insisted that he just kissed her , but other people have claimed that they’ve hooked up multiple times. Whatever happened, it was enough for Khloe to finally kick him to the curb, and since then, she’s been filling her days with caring for precious little True. That, and making cryptic posts about the whole thing on social media. Yesterday, she took that last part a step further by basically publishing an essay on Instagram. She kicked off her piece with a quote that read “Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.” Then she got into her thoughts on the matter. “Letting go with love takes great strength,” she wrote. “We have to learn to stop taking on people’s problems as if they are our own.” “Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back.” “Sadly,” she continued, “you can only express your opinion on a situation. You can’t want their life more than the do.” “This is in fact their life to figure out on their own and in their own time.” She said that she does “believe in time,” and that she also believes that “timing is everything.” “You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return.” Here Khloe added another quote, this one that says “People say time heals all wounds … I say time heals wounds but scars are left to remind you what you have been through and what you survived.” “Stop shattering our own heart by trying to make a relationship (friend, family partner) work that clearly isn’t meant to work,” she advised. “We have to stop trying to repaint people’s colors. We have to learn to believe the love we AREN’T given.” “You can’t love someone into loving you,” she wrote, adding “God I wish it were that easy.” “You can’t force someone to be loyal, kind, understanding. You can’t force someone to be the person you need them to be. Even if it’s for their own good!!” Summing up a lesson she’s learned the hard way, she told her followers that “Sometimes the person you want the most is the person you’re best without.” “You have to understand … some things ARE supposed to happen in your life, but they just are NOT meant to be.” “Damn … It took me so many years to understand that,” she complained. She then went on about how “God always has a plan even if we can’t understand it,” and that “Even in the darkest of places, our Lord sees His vision.” “We might not understand it at the moment but I promise you, your future will always bring understanding & clarity of why things didn’t work out,” she insisted. “Don’t put your happiness on hold for someone (family, friend, partner) who isn’t holding on to you.” She finished things up with one more quote: “Be careful when trying to fix a broken person. For you may cut yourself on their shattered pieces.” So she’s obviously directing all of this towards Tristan right now, but if you think any of this sounds familiar, it’s because this isn’t the first time she’s posted this. This is actually from a post she originally made in 2016, probably when things were getting hard with Lamar Odom again after his miraculous recovery from his overdose. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter Hopefully this time around she actually learns all these lessons she’s talking about, because can she even handle this kind of heartbreak for a third time?

Came In Handy: Fingerprints Helped Free A Man Serving 36 Years In Prison For A Rape He Didn’t Commit [Video]

Source: Milan Markovic / Getty Fingerprints Help Exonerate A Man That Spent 36 Years In Prison For A Crime He Didn’t Commit Free at last. Archie Williams spent almost 36 years in prison for a 1982 rape and assault case that he didn’t commit. He was finally released after being exonerated. According to NY Post , during his case, Williams’ family testified that he was indeed at home during the time that the incident took place, but the 12 members of the jury thought otherwise and found the then 22-year-old Williams guilty and he was sentenced to life without parole. Last week however, new fingerprint technology with a national database showed that the crime was committed by another man, Stephen Forbes. Forbes allegedly committed several other rapes around the same time and died in prison in 1996. Williams first requested that his fingerprints be run in the national database in 1999, but it was denied by prosecutors.   View this post on Instagram EXONERATED: Archie Williams is a free man after spending 36 years of a life sentence in jail for a 1982 rape and stabbing he did not commit, with the Innocence Project using new fingerprint technology to tie the crime to someone else. “You always fight for your freedom,” Williams said. #batonrogue #louisiana #la #wrongful #conviction #exonerated #innocent #jail #prison #law #justice #free #worldnewstonight A post shared by ABC World News Tonight (@abcworldnewstonight) on Mar 22, 2019 at 12:12pm PDT During Williams’ hearing, East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore III told him, “This is the right, honest, ethical and now factual thing to do. You are factually innocent, wrongfully convicted, and on behalf of the state, we apologize that you have suffered this.” Louisiana law says that Williams is only entitled to a maximum of $250,000 for his wrongful incarceration, roughly $7,000 for each year he was in prison.

Tamera Mowry Reveals "Encounter" with Jay-Z, Gets Swarmed by Beyhive

From '90s TV star to cohost on The Real , Tamera Mowry has experienced a lot in her life. But when she recently shared an anecdote about encountering Jay-Z and being overwhelmed by his “charm,” the Beyhive pounced. Is Tamera Becky With The Good Hair? We have included the video of Tamera's confession. Before we get into what was said, we just want to point out that it is vital that you watch Loni Love's face as Tamera tells her story. “I've actually met JAY-Z in person,” Tamera reveals to her co-stars on The Real . “And,” Temera notes. “He wasn't with Beyonce at the time, and I wasn't dating anybody and when I met him.” We'll get into that and whether or not it was true in a moment. “You do get like hit with the charm,” Tamera reveals of her experience with Jay-Z. There's more to star power and rumors of a massive penis to the rapper. He has a lot of charisma. Tamera reveals that she was so overwhelmed by the encounter that she said the strangest thing. “I found myself strangely asking for gum,” she admits. “It's so weird! I swear.” None of us know what we would say if we became starstruck. So how and where did this happen? “My sister and I were at a premiere of Nutty Professor and he walked by,” Tamera shares. She continues: “And I was like 'Oh my God that’s JAY-Z!'” “I was like, 'Can I have some gum?'” she confesses. “And,” she adds. “He gave me some gum.” Loni Love wasn't the only one who appeared concerned while Tamera was telling this story. In Lemonade and 4:44 , Beyonce and Jay-Z laid bare their relationship problems, which were largely rooted in Jay-Z's cheating. “I was 23!” Tamera quickly clarifies. “I hadn't even met [my husband] Adam [Housley],” she notes. Tamera emphasizes: “Adam wasn't even in the picture.” So Tamera wants to make it extremely clear that she was not cheating and neither was Jay-Z. That did not stop the Beyhive from swarming all over this video. Any woman mentioning Jay-Z risks being labeled Becky With The Good Hair. To be clear, though, the only thing that Tamera received from the rapper was his gum. G-U-M. With a G. We mentioned that we would go over this timeline a bit. Tamera turns 41 this summer, so 18 years ago, when she was 23, would have been 2001. We assume that she is referring to the premiere of  Nutty Professor II: The Klumps , which came out in 2000. (Yes, we looked that up so that you won't have to and only our Google search history will judge us for it; you're welcome) So she would have just turned 22 when the film premiered. So … Beyonce may have not been physically by Jay-Z's side. But though the timeline of when they first met (he insists that it was when she was 18) is a little murky, both say that they met in the late 1990s. That would have to have been before this premiere event. Which would be a big deal … if anything aside from an exchange of chewing gum had taken place. The beyhive can save their stingers for a more deserving victim, okay?
