Zack Clayton Carpinello has come clean. About how he seemingly wanted to come all over Angelina Pivarnick during last week’s intense episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation . Sorry, that was a tad bit crass, wasn’t it? It’s just that Carpinello’s action on the aforementioned installment were also a tiny bit crass… to say the least. As MTV viewers witnessed a few days ago, Carpinello opened the episode by asking far too many personal questions about Pivarnick’s sex life. After his girlfriend, Jenni “JWoww” Farley then passed out from drinking at a nightclub, Zack proceeded to cozy way up to Angelina, even grabbing her butt at one point. The inappropriate actions were caught on camera, meaning a sober Farley could actually sit back and watch them for herself a few days ago. Shortly after doing so, she broke up with her young boyfriend . And now, to Carpinello’s credit, he’s taking full responsiblity for acting like a jackass. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for,” Zack wrote in a statement on his Instagram over the weekend, adding: “Jenni does not deserve any damage from anybody else. This is on me. I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well.” Angelina, for the record, is engaged to someone else. “I love Jenni, with everything I have, I make this known to be every day,” Carpinello concluded. “I will continue to do everything to make this known to her and her kids, who also have my heart. I will make it certain that nothing like this ever happen again, in any way regardless of outcome.” It’s unclear whether Farley is considering taking Zack back, but Us Weekly confirms the exes did hang out with Jenni’s two kids on Saturday. They were spotted at Field Station: Dinosaurs theme park in Leonia, New Jersey, with the reality TV star’s daughter Meilani, 5, and son Greyson, 3. “They weren’t lovey dovey or touchy. They were more civil than acting like a couple, but he was affectionate and sweet with the kids,” a source told this tabloid, noting that Farley’s father was also in attendance and that everyone there “made s’mores.” Granted, s’mores are delicious. But does this mean Farley wants s’more (sorry) of Carpinello? “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt,” Farley wrote on Thursday via Instagram. “I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.” The episode (and therefore Zack’s wild groping) took place a long time prior to the episode airing, meaning Farley had been going around with her boyfriend, thinking nothing had transpired. “For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels,” she wrote, continuing late last week: “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” Farley and Carpinello were first linked in March after she split from her ex-husband, Roger Mathews, with whom she shares those two young kids The question now is how much more intense things will get on air between Angelina and Jenni? Based on the trailer below, the answer appears to be: A LOT more intense. Jersey Shore Trailer Teases “All-Out War” Between Jenni and Angelina
1 2-year-old activist Amariyanna Copeny —dubbed Little Miss Flint—is furthering her efforts to address the water crisis in her city. According to Atlanta Black Star , Copeny teamed up with a water filtration company to make clean water accessible within her community. This is my water filter. My filter can bring clean safe water to communities dealing with a lead crisis (Like Flint, MI and Newark, NJ). It's powered by @Hydroviv_h2o . Every $1 donated provides the equivalent of 160 bottles of water. https://t.co/3lqcfoqzF0 pic.twitter.com/ialzGgGKXK — Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) September 26, 2019 Copeny spearheaded a fundraising campaign to bring clean and safe water to Flint and other places impacted by contaminated water. The funds will go towards creating a long-term sustainable solution to the water crisis by bringing state-of-the-art water filters to underserved communities. The implementation of the water filters would give individuals the ability to have safe running water within their households instead of spending long periods of time waiting in line to get donated bottles of water. It would also curb plastic waste. Over $130,000 has been raised towards her $150,000 goal. Copeny is partnering with the company Hydroviv which designs and builds custom water filters. “Ever since April 2014 my community has been faced with a lead crisis that we’re still recovering from. My community needed water they could trust and bottled water was the only resource for drinking water that many in my community trusted,” she wrote on her GoFundMe page . “For my new donation campaign, my team has partnered with a socially-responsible water filtration company, which will allow us to maximize the impact of donated funds and eliminate the single-use plastic waste that is associated with bottled water.” Copeny has been dedicated to spreading awareness about the Flint water crisis and evoking change. Through her campaigns, she’s donated over one million bottles of water to families in need. Young activists are stepping up to address Flint’s water crisis. In March, rapper and actor Jaden Smith ’s eco-friendly natural spring water brand JUST Goods Inc. joined forces with Flint’s First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to implement a system called “The Water Box” which can help reduce lead and other toxic chemicals in contaminated water.

Source: Westend61 / Getty Black High School Student Exposes White Peers Racist Online Group Chat 14-year-old Cenayia Edwards is a freshman at East Wake High School in Wendell, N.C. and she is not here for white people ‘s clandestine bigotry. According to ABC11 , Cenayia actually posed as a white student in order to gain access to a violently racist group chat that her peers were participating in online. One of the freshman’s white friends put her on to the chat and Cenayia quickly devised a plan to expose all of them for their cowardly and dangerous behavior. When 14-year old Cannaya found out about the racist group chat some of her Wake County classmates were using, she infiltrated it, then she exposed it. Now, her parents want make sure she’s safe at school. #abc11 pic.twitter.com/Oe76F1DHgK — Joel Brown (@JoelBrownABC11) October 5, 2019 Cenayia changed her avatar to a white face. When she was allowed access to the group chat, she says she was horrified. The chat was full of messages like “Pullin triggers and shootin n——,”and “Kill n—– babies.” One person wrote, “#bring slavery back.” Another person debated whether their screen name should be “Black slayer.” And when Cenayia called out her classmates for the racist talk, one person replied with a cartoon meme of a penguin with a gun along with the words, “Shut up n—–.” The parents notified the school of the activity but thus far they are very unsatisfied with the “investigation” that has taken place. So far, very little, if any, consequences have been doled out and if there have been, the school will not say what those consequences are. A deer-in-headlights-lookin’ Stacey Alston, the school’s principal, did, however, release this lil’ video… “Meaningful dialogue”??? Sir, these soup cookies are talkin’ about MURDERING BLACK PEOPLE. Ain’t no muthaf***in’ talkin’. It’s hands and feet. All these alabaster a$$holes need to be expelled.
