Back in July, Fuqua was caught kissing Nicole Murphy in photos that went viral online. Fuqua was accused of cheating on Lela with Eddie Murphy’s ex wife, and the internet backlash was swift. Lela left social media while fans speculated what went down between the two. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Nicole later responded to the scandal, saying in a statement that the kiss was between “friends.” “Without going into the entire situation, I want to apologize to my family, and to [Antoine’s wife] Lela [Rochon] and to the Fuqua family for what transpired,” Nicole said back in July. “It was not my intention to be in this situation. I do not condone women kissing or interacting in anyway inappropriately with a married man. I too was once married and I would never intentionally undermine another woman, despite what has been written.” But now Lela is back on social media, sporting her wedding ring in a scenic photo. “God is good,” she captioned the image.

That, and it comes with slew of products including two serums, three conditioners, a leave-in conditioner, shampoo, a shower brush, hair clips and a microfiber towel. The price ranges from $9-$42. Tracee’s been thinking about this line for over 20 years: “I had logged hours and hours in the trenches with my hair,” she recently told Allure , adding, “Many of us can chronicle the journey of our self-acceptance through the journey of our hair. I think, in all honesty, the timing is perfect.” She’s also tried-and-tested the products herself, testing a whopping 74 different samples before giving them the thumbs up. If “green-friendly” ingredients are important to you, Pattern’s got you!: It’s no secret that a lot of products geared for Black women’s hair are more likely to be filled with toxins and other unsafe products. Thankfully now, lines are getting smarter and putting our health first. Pattern seems to be one of the brands using green ingredients that are friendly on the environment and on our curls.

Source: franklin lugenbeel / Getty September is Suicide Awareness Month , also known as Suicide Prevention Month, which brings awareness to the taboo topic that most are afraid to talk about. As we all know, the pain of suicide doesn’t only affect the victim, it affects family and friends exactly the same, but for much longer. The National Alliance on Mental Illness Website said of the commemorative month: “We use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention. NAMI is here to help.” The most effective way to prevent suicide is to first know the signs and and to educate yourself about the condition as much as possible. Just like most things in life, there are some stigmas and incorrect info being spread in the world about the topic of suicide. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Over 800,000 people die by suicide annually. That’s 1 person every 40 seconds. It’s time to drop the stigmas and get informed… The more we know,… https://t.co/oQYMf7a8Ka — Start The Wave (@StartTheWave) September 10, 2018 One common myth is that who die by suicide are selfish and take the easy way out. But quite the contrary. According to NAMI : “Typically, people do not die by suicide because they do not want to live—people die by suicide because they want to end their suffering. These individuals are suffering so deeply that they feel helpless and hopeless. Individuals who experience suicidal ideations do not do so by choice. They are not simply, “thinking of themselves,” but rather they are going through a very serious mental health symptom due to either mental illness or a difficult life situation.” Help save some lives today by getting your facts straight. Hit the flip.

It’s been a few months since we last heard from Thomas Markle. In case you were wondering, however, the bitter father of Meghan did not exactly change his angry tune during this mini media hiatus. He still wants to know if he’ll ever meet his grandson , Archie — and he still thinks the Duchess of Sussex totally sucks for keeping the lad away from his grandpa. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday — for the first time since Meghan Markle gave birth — Thomas reiterated several points he’s made before, telling the outlet: He is yet to meet Archie. Meghan won’t return his calls. And this whole situation just stinks, you guys! “I would like them to send me a picture of Archie so I can frame it on my wall beside the one of Meghan,” Thomas said, referring to a photo of himself and his daughter together at a football game. “Isn’t that what any grandfather would want? I’d love to know if he’s got the famous Markle nose,” he added. Thomas, of course, has been estranged from his famous daughter for decades. He’s been living a reclusive existence in Mexico for years, yet he made headlines early last year after confessing that he accepted money from the paparazzi in exchange for letting them take pictures of him. Thomas then suffered some health problems and did not attend the Royal Wedding in May of 2018. Markle now claims that neither Meghan nor Prince Harry reached out to him in the hospital and “never once has Meghan ever asked me how I’m doing. Not then, not since.” He also told the Mail on Sunday that he has apologized many times for staging the photos in the manner described above — and most recently sent Meghan a card for her 38th birthday. The response? Crickets. “I sent her a card via her financial adviser in L.A. but received no acknowledgment,” he told the publication. “I have no idea if she got it.” Thomas has said on numerous occasions that he just wants to be a small part of Meghan’s life, but that the Royal Beauty refuses to give him the proverbial, or actual, time of day. “There was never any problem between Meghan and me until recently,” he continued in this interview, adding: “I’ve stayed quiet because Meghan was pregnant with Archie but I’m speaking out now because they and their PR people are continuing to ghost me out of her life.” Does he hope to someday see and interact with his is grandson? D’uh! “Of course, I’m disappointed not to see Archie,” he continued. “I had hoped becoming a mother would mellow Meghan and she would reach out.” Meghan and Harry are both well-known for their humanitarian efforts. They’re considered an especially charitable and giving couple, but Thomas thinks the twosome have failed to live up to this billing. “Everyone raves about how gracious and wonderful they are, but they are not wonderful to their own family. That’s hypocritical,” he said simply. “You can’t portray yourself as being charitable and bringing people together and then ghost your own father and your entire family. Their treatment of me has left a lot to be desired.” Still, Thomas holds out hope. “I believe all family differences can be resolved and I believe that can still happen for me, Meghan and Harry,” he concluded. “I always hoped I would be as close to Meghan’s child as I was to her when she was a child.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess
