SMH: Rachel Roy Claims Kush Smoker Dame Dash Is Emotionally Abusive, Gets High Around Daughters & Scares Them

Source: Ryan Born / Getty Get your life together! Dame Dash’s Ex-Wife Thwarts Request For More Custody, Claims He’s Abusive Dame Dash and his ex-wife of 10 years are going at it over the custody of their 11-year-old daughter Tallulah. According to The Blast , Dame wants more custody over the child but Rachel Roy and his 19-year-old daughter Ava are telling the judge NO WAY. Rachel claims Dame gets high off of marijuana around his daughters and Roy also points to Dash’s history of domestic violence and claims their kids have anxiety when seeing him. She also says his relationship with Ava is strained because he gets angry she doesn’t get involved in their parental battles. Ava Dash, 19, filed a declaration saying she is scared of her father’s temper and mood swings. She says that she is concerned about how much marijuana he smokes, alcohol he drinks, and drugs he takes, all of which affect his mood and makes him more excitable, hard to please and upset. Her mom told the judge that Dash talks badly about Ava to their 11-year-old and emotionally harms them both. Dame had initially claimed in court that his daughter Tallulah asked to spend more time with him. Roy says that a bald-faced lie. Roy claims that on Dash’s birthday, he even shamed their 11-year-old for not bringing him a present, despite her not having access to money.

The judge has yet to rule.

Brightburn: David Denman & Jackson A. Dunn Talk Bad People, Horror Films & More 

Read the original post:

Superhero films are all the rage these days, but we haven’t seen a hero flick done quite like James Gunn’s Brightburn . Brightburn tells the story of a farm couple living in Brightburn, Kansas who has had trouble conceiving a child. One night, a meteor falls from the sky near their farm with a baby inside, so they decide to adopt him, naming him Brandon. Ten years later, Brandon discovers that he has superhuman strength, and literally, all hell breaks loose. We caught up with two of the stars from the film — David Denman who plays the father Kyle Breyer and Jackson A. Dunn who plays Brandon Breyer/Brightburn — and they dished on all things horror, working with James Gunn, and whether or not there actually is some good in even the worst people. On whether or not some people are born inherently bad: Dunn: I think it depends on someone’s upbringing and the things that affect them in life. Their trauma. It’s all about background Denman: I concur with what he said. I don’t that anyone is just purely evil. There are people who are misguided, and that’s unfortunate. But i think there’s always a balance, both things lie within a human being. Check out the full video above to see what else the cast had to say about horror films and much more. Catch Brightburn in theaters this Friday, May 24th. Tell them we sent you.

Khloe Cries! Kylie Speaks! The Jordyn Woods Scandal is Coming to TV

E! has released a new trailer for future episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. And all we have to say about the footage featured here is: Get your popcorn ready. We mean no disrespect to the very real and damaging scandal that finally caused Khloe Kardashian to kick Tristan Thompson to the curb — but the Kardashians are the ones who have chosen to air this messy laundry for the whole world to see. We're referring, of course, to Tristan making out with Jordyn Woods several weeks ago and the subsequent fallout from this act of deception: Khloe has broken up with her baby daddy and Kylie Jenner has severed close friendship ties with Woods. How did everyone react when they learned what happened, though? That's what you're about to see for yourself. In this explosive and intense trailer, we hear a voice that sounds a lot like that of Larsa Pippen, presumably speaking to Khloe on the phone and saying: “I don't even know if I should tell you this.” We then see Khloe dissolve into a puddle of tears. “Her legs were like in between his legs,” a second voice adds, citing the aforementioned incident in which Woods hung out with Tristan and a bunch of friends at the basketball player's house and then swapped spit with him on her way out. Jordyn has claimed she didn't sleep with Thompson and nearly everyone believes her… but still.  She obviously went WAY too far. “I am broken by so many things,” Khloe says here, talking most likely about Tristan's constant infidelity, considering he ALSO cheated on her when she was pregnant . Despite plenty of insiders saying that Kylie had barred Woods from living in her guest house after this makeout session, and lots of sources confirming their relationship is also over, it's been notable that Kylie herself hasn't said anything about the situation. Until now. “This is going to change their relationship forever,” Kris Jenner says in this clip, prior to telling Kylie: “For you and Jordyn, it's like a divorce. “She f-cked up,” Kylie then admits for the first time since the scandal. Kylie goes on to comfort Khloe as best she can, only for Kim Kardashian to jump in and say of her scorned sister: “One day, she's just going to explode.” At that, we witness Khloe explode. Big time. Elsewhere in this revealing trailer, there's major tension between Kourtney and Kendall. “I don't understand how my own sister is like talking sh-t about me,” the supermodel complains, to which Kourtney seems totally confused and taken aback.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way Sneak Peek: Meet Evelin and Corey!

Ever since viewers saw the first trailer for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way , they've wondered what they should think about all 12 people involved. Now, TLC is dropping individual sneak peeks to give viewers a better impression of individual couples. This week, we got a look at Corey and Evelin and their love story. Take a look: “I'm giving up everything I have to follow my heart and move down to Ecuador for love” “My name is Corey, I'm 32 years old,” he says, adding that he is from Washington state. “I met Evelin in a very beachy, tourist town,” Corey reveals. “I see this girl,” Corey narrates. “And she's super pretty.” “She comes walking up to me,” he recalls. “And I'm thinking: 'This only happens in the movies, right?'” “My name is Evelin,” her voiceover begins. “I am 26 years old,” she reveals. “And I am from Engabao, Ecuador.” Corey then chimes in to tell viewers what they can expect from the little hamlet where she lives. “Engabao is covered with pigs,” Corey states.  Sure enough, we see pigs and other quadrupeds wandering what appear to be muddy streets. “it's very scary,” Corey admits. As with any reality show voiceover, it's not made explicitly clear what the context of “scary” is. We imagine that the antecedent may be the prospect of moving from the United States to a muddy hamlet in Ecuador . He's not necessarily saying that the place itself is dangerous. Otherwise, presumably, he would not be moving there. “But I'm willing to do whatever it takes,” Corey expresses as the trailer continues. He then states: “It's all for Evelin.” We then see a heartbreaking scene in which he speaks to his parents to deliver the news. “I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm headed down to Ecuador, permanently,” he tells his folks. His mother wipes away a tear. “Once I arrive in Ecuador,” Corey explains to the camera. “I'll have 90 days to propose to Evelin and get married before my visa runs out.” For some of the non-American 90 Day Fiance shows, visitors have all of the time in the world. But it looks like either Ecuador's immigration laws or TLC (well, Sharp Entertainment) are forcing Corey to stick to the titular timeframe. A lot of fans have real doubts about whether Corey and Evelin will make it to the alter. Even more are unsure of whether they should. He's spent thousands of dollars on her and her family, and the first trailer made it look like maybe she wasn't really into him. Fortunately, these two are so good together that the Ecuador tourism bureau has a photo of them working side-by-side that they use in ads. Earlier this month, we revealed the spoiler that Corey and Evelin make it and are very much in love. The show makes it seem like Evelin has just been bilking Corey for money because she's hot and he's American. In reality, he's invested in her family's business, he loves exploring the world, and he and Evelin both love surfing together. And by the way, she's visited the US by his side. The photo at the top of this post is of the two of them in San Francisco.

Keys tells ESSENCE:   “I think we have to come to an understanding that it’s okay to state what you need and state your piece and be clear, because if you don’t know what you need and you’re not able to say it, you’ll never get it. That’s been a deep, beautiful process for me…I just have always been able to be what I believe is just cool, man, because everything doesn’t have to be so damn dramatic all the time either. Things can just be cool. So I’m blessed for that…”   The cover was photographed by J.D. Barnes with styling from ESSENCE Fashion Director Marielle Bobo. Additionally, Keys is decked out in a photo spread featuring her in designers such as Lanvin, Roland Mouret, Rachel Comey, The Row and more.
