Danielle Mullins: Mohamed Jbali Would Be Deported If I Weren’t So Nice!

Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali’s contentious, controversial relationship has been credited with putting 90 Day Fiance on the map. Now that fan donations saved Danielle’s house , she’s answering some additional questions that a number of fans had. Just how hard did she work to get Mohamed deported? And, in this current climate, how likely is it that he’ll be sent back to Tunisia? Danielle shared a message to Instagram, clearly using speech-to-text (which jumbled a few words, which we’ve corrected). “For those that are questioning whether I got my ex deported,” Danielle’s message begins. She reveals: “The application he had to file in order to remove his conditions in order to get ten year card is backlogged over a year.” “So he could still get deported,” Danielle explains. “But then,” she notes. “He could appeal.” Danielle captioned the image with a little context. “Info for people questioning my ex’s green card,” Danielle writes. Previously, fans have wondered if Mohamed might be deported after he revealed that some of his paperwork had been lost in the mail. Many felt that it would be a real shame, since Mohamed has moved to Texas and is working hard to keep his life going. Others feel that after he cheated on Danielle and seemed to simply use her to come to America, he doesn’t deserve to be here. Others still agree that Mohamed’s motives were less than sincere, but felt that dealing with Danielle was enough that he “paid his dues,” so to speak. Danielle also took to a video for her fans in which she elaborated a little on the subject of her ex. “I felt used,” Danielle explains. “So I filed for an annulment.” “That was my best chance to get him deported,” she reasons. Who could forget Danielle telling Mohamed that she would do everything in her power to get him deported? “But when he begged me to file for a divorce instead,” Danielle claims. “I gave in so he could stay in America.” For the record, her own attorney told her that an annulment was unlikely to go through, because they had consummated their marriage exactly once . On a humorous note, Danielle’s text post about how Mohamed could eventually appeal if his Green Card isn’t extended was “liked” by Larissa Dos Santos Lima. Larissa is part of this season of 90 Day Fiance ‘s most controversial couple. Some say that she and Coltee have inherited Danielle and Mohamed’s mantle. Colt strikes people as condescending and, frankly, more than a little weird. Larissa strikes people — literally — according to her two arrests for domestic battery. She also loves to complain and flip out. Also, just last week, Larissa exposed Colt’s cheating with multiple women. Did Larissa just sympathize with Danielle as a woman who’s been cheated on, or is she taking notes on how to avoid deportation if she gets a divorce? Danielle explained why Mohamed is still in the United States from her perspective. So it makes sense that she claimed that it was her forgiving nature that allowed him to remain. We suspect that Mohamed would tell a different story. That said, he no longer seems interested in a reality career and just wants to live his life. Perhaps, if he were paid more than the pittance that 90 Day Fiance offers most of its cast members, he would change his tune. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Stars: How Much Are They Paid?

British Soccer Player Blames Fan Abuse On Media Racial Bias That’s Also Found In The US

See the original post here:

A Black British soccer player ignored the racist abuse yelled at him from a fan but commented on how it was fueled by the racial bias of some media outlets, which is also seen in the United States. SEE ALSO: Texas Official Defends Racist Stereotype: ‘You Can’t Count On A Black Quarterback’ England and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling said Sunday that irresponsible media outlets to “fuel racism” through their portrayal of young Black soccer players, the Guardian reported. His remarks appeared on social media after the police launched an investigation into a fan of the opposing team who was recorded on video at Saturday’s match allegedly yelling a racial slur at Sterling. It happened in the first half of a match against Chelsea when Sterling went to pick up the ball in front of the stands. “…For all the newspapers that don’t understand why people are racists in this day and age, all I have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity and give all players an equal chance,” Sterling wrote on Instagram . BT are apparently investigating the footage of Sterling being racially abused. 1st time I saw this pic i thought Sterling was laughing in their faces whilst they shouted. I hope that’s what he did. Look how angry they are. No place for this venom in football #MCFC #Sterling pic.twitter.com/WVs5oo7yOb — Paul McGarraghy (@PaulMcGarraghy) December 8, 2018 In his media post, Sterling gave the example of a young Black player who was criticized in a newspaper article for “splashing” his salary on a mansion before he even played his first professional match. Sterling said the rookie buying a house for his mother was the right thing to do, but Sterling also noted that the paper failed to criticize a young white player who did the same thing. “This young Black kid is looked at in a bad light,” Sterling stated. A University of Missouri researcher in 2015 reported similar media racial bias in the United States on how athletes are covered. Stories on African-American athletes focus primarily on criminal actions while stories about white athletes are overwhelmingly positive. Among the findings, more than 66 percent of the crime stories involved Black athletes while only 22 percent involved white athletes. More than 70 percent of domestic violence stories involved Black athletes and only 17 percent involved white athletes. “True cultural sensitivity requires the eradication of racial and ethnic stereotyping; thus, journalists and reporters must reflect on how their own unfounded beliefs about race differences in sports likely contribute to the stereotyping of black athletes as engaged in more criminal activity and innately physically gifted yet lacking in intelligence and strong work ethics,” the researcher Cynthia Frisby said. By Sunday morning, the authorities had not arrested the fan. “We are aware of a video circulating online in which it is claimed racial abuse was allegedly directed at a player … We will review the footage to determine whether any offences have been committed,” a statement from the Metropolitan police said.

Bristol Palin Sends Prayers to Alaska in Wake of Devastating Earthquake

Bristol Palin has taken a break from slamming her ex-husband in order to send a message of support to everyone in Alaska. On Friday morning, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake his Palin’s native state of Alaska, damaging highways, shaking buildings and focusing its power about eight miles north of Anchorage, the most populous city in the region. Governor Bill Walker issued a disaster declaration in response, while the Anchorage Police Department said the following in an official statement: “There is major infrastructure damage across Anchorage. Many homes and buildings are damaged. Many roads and bridges are closed.” As of this writing, no deaths have been reported. Thank goodness. Bristol, of course, hails from Wasilla, Alaska. However, she lives in Austin, Texas and was not around her friends, family members or loved ones up north when this natural diaster struck. But Palin says she was with them in spirit. And they are very much on her mind at the moment. “Just sick I’m not in Alaska to help my family and friends with the aftermath of the massive earthquake they had this morning, sending all the prayers to everyone affected,” she wrote on social media shortly after news of the incident went public. The Palin family resident is about 44 miles northeast of Anchorage and the compound was damaged during the earthquake. Such damage was confirmed by Bristol’s famous mother, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. “Our family is intact – house is not… I imagine that’s the case for many, many others,” the former Alaska Governor wrote via Twitter, adding: “So thankful to be safe; praying for our state following the earthquake.” Elsewhere, Bristol’s younger sister, Willow, was left in shock and in pretty bad shape after the sort of frightening experience you must deal with first hand to fully comprehend. “Our house is a mess but our family is safe, very shook up! That was the scariest couple minutes of my life,” she wrote to followers. Bristol was out of the spotlight for many years, but has now joined the cast of Teen Mom OG on MTV. Not only had she joined it, but Palin has been at the forefront of nearly every episode, as viewers have watched her marriage to Dakota Meyer fall apart before their very eyes. It’s been pretty ugly, to be honest. “When you get rid of the cancer in your life, you can go live,” Meyer actually said recently about splitting from Bristol. Ouch, right? But now isn’t the time to relitigate the issues that faced this couple. Now is the time to join in with the thoughts and prayers being sent to the residents of Alaska. We’re thinking of you guys.

George H.W. Bush Dies; Former President Was 94

George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States and the father of ex-Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush, died on Friday night. He was 94 years old. The sad news was confirmed yesterday by spokesperson Jim McGrath. “George Herbert Walker Bush, World War II naval aviator, Texas oil pioneer, and 41st President of the United States of America, died on November 30, 2018. “He was 94 and is survived by his five children and their spouses, 17 grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and two siblings,” the former president’s office said in a statement. Concluded this message: “He was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Barbara; his second child Pauline “Robin” Bush; and his brothers Prescott and William or “Bucky” Bush.” Bush, a Republican who held the Oval Office for one term, was hospitalized back in April , just one day after laying his beloved wife to rest. He had contracted an infection at the time, but it’s too early right now to know the President’s cause of death. Son George W. spoke on behalf of his siblings with a statement of his own shortly after his father died on Friday.  It reads as follows: Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died. George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens. Funeral details will be announced in the coming days, McGrath also noted. On Twitter, meanwhile, President Trump wrote the following: “President George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life.  “Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family. His accomplishments were great from beginning to end. “He was a truly wonderful man and will be missed by all!” He and wife Melania also released a lengthy statement that we have included below: Prior to his time as the most powerful man in the world, the Massachusetts native served as an aviator in the Navy and flew 58 combat missions during World War II. He was awarded three Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Bush then served as Vice President for eight years to Ronald Reagan. He was a congressman, ambassador to China and director of central intelligence, receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. The former President’s death comes just eight months after his wife of 73 years, Barbara, died on April 17. Even after her passing, Bush remained devoted to his late wife, sitting beside her casket for hours in his wheelchair as mourners paid their respects while she lay in repose one day before her invitation-only funeral. The photos of his tribute made their way around the Internet at the time. Bush’s grandchildren affectionately nicknamed him “Gampy,” and Bush Hager has said on The Today Show that her grandfather “really is one of the most humble, wonderful men.” We send our condolences to his loved ones. May George H.W. Bush rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: Let’s Have a Baby, Baby!!!

According to a recent rumor, Blake Shelton really wants Gwen Stefani to return to The Voice . What? That’s not an especially intriguing piece of chatter for you? Okay. How about the following… … Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani may soon have a baby ! The singers are “determined to have a child together,” an insider says in the latest issue of Us Weekly, expounding a bit on the topic with this quote: “They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby. It’s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited.” Stefani is 49 years old and has three kids from her marriage to Gavin Rossdale. This source says she and Shelton would go the surrogate route in order to procreate, noting that Blake “wants his own child too.” Stefani  shares sons Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10 and Apollo, 4, with ex-husband Rossdale. She and Shelton started dating nearly three years ago at this point, following her divorce and Shelton’s split in 2015 from then-wife Miranda Lambert. It seemed like a very cute little fling at the time; like two popular and attractive musicians getting together because each was suddenly single. Fast forward these years later, however, and the romance seems as rock solid as nearly any in Hollywood. “Gwen just is so in awe of the love Blake has, not only for her, but for the boys,” this same insider tells this same tabloid. There’s been talk forever about Shelton and Stefani eventually getting married, with one report claiming they actually are married already . But we cannot confirm this allegation. Stefani appeared on Ellen earlier this year and tried to avoid wedding talk, but the host was able to squeeze at least a little something out of her guest when it came to Shelton. And that little something was very sweet. “The kids love him,” Gwen said of Blake. “We love him. Everybody loves him. He’s lovable.” Surrogacy, meanwhile, has become a somewhat popular means of having a child in Hollywood. Back in January, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian used a surrogate to welcome their third kid into the world. And just this month, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade did the same. Stay tuned to The Hollywood Gossip to fimd out whether or not Stefani and Shelton become the next famous couple to also make this life-changing decision.

90 Day Fiance Scandal: Larissa Exposed as Deadbeat Mom

On the heels of 90 Day Fiance star Larissa’s arrest for domestic battery , another scandal arises. It turns out that she has children — children who have never been mentioned on the show, whom she left behind in Brazil. Now that viewers know that Larissa has three children in three different homes, she has issued a response. Colt and Larissa have just dealt with a huge scandal this week. Now, a woman has taken to Twitter to share even more about Larissa. “I met Larissa in Brazil 5 years ago,” the tweet begins. “She was dating my best friend – the father of her son.” “She has 3 children that she left behind,” the tweet reveals. “My friend have custody of the middle one,” she shares. “The oldest is with the father and the little one is with her father.” That sounds like three children who are growing up in three households … while Larissa jets off to Vegas to go furniture shopping. Marcos Hack himself, the baby daddy referred to in the tweet, also shared a message of his own on social media. “I want to address this story about Larissa and I,” he wrote. “Yes it is true,” “Larissa and I had a relationship years ago, and we had a son together,” Marcos confirms. “7 months after he was born she left him with me,” Marcos says. “My son Arry is the light of my life.” “I don’t want to expose my son or my family to the public,” Marcos says. “But people need to know who the real Larissa is.” A very unflattering picture of Larissa has begun to form. Larissa responded, confirming what Marcos had said. “Yes, I had a relationship before with Marcos Hack,” she writes. “We lived for 2 years together.” “He broken my heart in many pieces back there, I got really depressed,” she shares. Larissa continues: “I found myself unable to take care of our son and his sister adopted him.” “I also have a daughter from another relationship, who lives with my father,” Larissa shares. “And who I plan to bring to United States one day.” Larissa writes that she will do this “when I am ready to take care of her.” Larissa also claims that Marcos stole money from her. She also says that Marcos is just looking for his “15 minutes” of fame, which is an odd claim from a brand new reality star. “I was not talking about my kids because the show is 90 days fiance,” Larissa explains. “It is not about my past or my children.” “I ask people to respect their privacy,” Larissa says. “And I wont talk about the never again.” In a much more public context, Larissa promised fans that they would learn more about her on the show. “There are certain topics I don’t discuss,” Larissa writes on Instagram in large white letters on a red background. “You’ll have to keep watching 90 Day Fiance to see more,” Larissa teases. “They will show everything about my life,” she primises. “Photos, videos, and family.” “Thank you,” she concludes. “For all love and support. In the captions, she penned another message. “Keeping watching to understand everything, for now I can’t discuss it,” Larissa explains. “Trust me,” she promises. “The show has just begun.” Considering that this comes on the heels of her arrest after a fight with Colt led police to take her away for domestic battery, fans are concerned. Larissa is looking less like a run-of-the-mill problematic reality star. She’s looking like a real 90 Day Fiance villain. It didn’t help that fans have already seen her make Colt’s mother cry with her hostile reactions to their home. Is she a husband-abuser who abandoned her children in different homes? Or are we not getting the whole story? If the next episodes don’t tell us, hopefully we’ll get a much clearer picture at the Tell All special.
