Rather than splurging on pricey leave-in conditioners and salon treatments (which can be worth it every now and then), the Traffik star swears by a brand for her curls that she buys right at the grocery store. “It’s a 10!,” Patton exclaimed at the Moschino 2020 Spring/Summer Resort fashion show in Universal City, Calif. when we asked her about the products that give her natural curly hair a boost. “You can get it at the grocery store,” she continued with a laugh. As for which products she uses from the collection, the actress said she swears by “the leave in spray. I love that.” She continued, “I use the shampoo, conditioner, and that spritz, with a little bit of shine oil.”

Footage from the shoot shows Lanez request a time out and demand the other woman be placed back in the shot. View this post on Instagram This is an On -Going problem in our community of entertainment that needs to stop . As a black man , Sometimes I’m going to joke about the black community just like we all do . BUT WHAT IM NOT GOING TO DO IS ALLOW ANY OF THESE DIRECTORS TO DE-VALUE OUR BLACK WOMEN … countless times I’ve seen directors swap out our women of color for women of lighter complexion, or women with straighter hair ETC . … IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS ARTIST TO STAND UP AND NOT LET THIS HAPPEN .. it’s BEEN time to embrace our woman of color #BlackIsBeautiful A post shared by torylanez (@torylanez) on Jun 16, 2019 at 7:43am PDT Lanez captioned the video, “This is an On -Going problem in our community of entertainment that needs to stop .

When it was her turn he said cut the video to make it appear as if it had something to do with race.” She said. “I know the directors very well and they made me the lead girl in that video and many others.” Tory took to Instagram to clarify his intentions on the shoot and deny doing it for publicity reasons, which would make sense since it wasn’t his song or video to begin with.

We already reported that the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is feuding so hard that Bravo was scrambling to get it all. Unfortunately, that feud has worsened in a less entertaining way — and on set drama has never been worse. NeNe is refusing to film with Porsha or Kenya, and the other Housewives are fuming over it. Filming on Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is underway, but drama is already going down on set. Unfortunately, it’s the bad kind of drama — the kind that you can’t capture on camera. RadarOnline reports that NeNe Leakes is at the center of what’s proving to be a nightmare for Bravo. “NeNe is refusing to film with Porsha and Kenya,” an insider divulges. The source explains her motive: “She is not going to let them stir the pot.” NeNe is central to the show, and she knows it, and she knows that her castmates — even her enemies — know it. “NeNe knows that they all just want to use her for fights,” the insider explains. “And,” the source continues. “She wants no part of it.” In other words, NeNe isn’t just avoiding Porsha and Kenya. She is actively trying to punish them, by sabotaging their careers and causing them deep personal and professional frustration. Now, why is she so mad again? “Porsha made claims that NeNe grabbed her when she was pregnant,” the insider reminds the world. The source notes that this alleged grabbing went down “during the infamous closet fight.” “But the unedited footage shown during the reunion vindicated NeNe,” the insider says, adding: “She believes.” Suffice it to say that NeNe holds a hefty grudge. “NeNe wants nothing to do with Porsha,” the source characterizes. Their friendship has thoroughly soured and they have not mended fences behind the scenes. The same goes for Kenya, of course. According to the insider: “NeNe knows that Kenya is only coming back for drama.” That’s why any Housewife comes back. The network gets drama, the Housewife gets fame and money. That’s the deal. “And,” the source says. “She is not going to entertain it.” This entire ordeal isn’t making NeNe any new friends. Quite the opposite, in fact. “The issue is,” the insider explains. “All of the other ladies feel like they had to film scenes that made them uncomfortable.” “And,” the source adds. “They’re mad that NeNe doesn’t have to film them.” This is where NeNe’s massive salary of $2.85 million for the season, more than that of any other Housewife in the franchise’s history, comes into play. “They think it is unfair that the highest paid person on the show wants do the least amount of work,” the insider explains. That’s a fair gripe, though they’ll find that reality television isn’t the only business sector where income is unfair. NeNe Leakes is gambling that her entertainment value is more important to Bravo than that of the women she now despises. In other words, she’s icing them out for more than just a desire to avoid them. She wants them off of the show, and she doesn’t want to clash with them in person — even if it will help their careers. It sounds like NeNe could be shooting herself in the foot. There’s no sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face, right?

Let’s show up for our sister, Layleen Polanco Xtravaganza, who should still be here. #Justice4Layleen #CloseRikersNow pic.twitter.com/NDiRwIVvQB — Raquel Willis (@RaquelWillis_) June 9, 2019 Layleen Polanco Found Dead At Rikers Island Family and friends of Layleen Polanco are reeling after their loved one was found lifeless in a jail cell. Polanco also known as Layleen Xtravaganza, died June 7 at Rikers Island. The New York Post reports that she was found unresponsive in her cell at the Rose M. Singer women’s facility around 2:40 p.m. Efforts to revive her were unsuccessful. “Any death in our custody is a tragic loss, and we are looking into how this happened,” a DOC spokesperson told the publication. No further details have been released. The 27-year-old is now the 10th transwoman to be found dead this year. “Pose” actress Indya Moore who grew up with Layleen also spoke on her death and condemned the current administration for not protecting trans lives. “I knew Layleen growing up. I Remember desiring to be beautiful like her. She was cool, and funny too, like all of us she had dreams of escaping poverty and the misery of social ostricisation. She is the 10th trans woman to die this year. Noone knows if it was a murder, or how she died but this is the closest black trans death has ever gotten to me and this is extremely alarming and traumatic,” wrote Indya on Instagram. “As you all know the trans community is extremely small, we feel every loss and we often all know someone who knew somebody murdered. By initiation of the trump administration, the supreme Court is debating RIGHT NOW on whether trans people deserve to be a federally protected demographic, to equal access legal aid, employment, shelter, healthcare, and employment they are hearing our cases on why we deserve human rights. Our current administration is sending a legislative message that trans peoples lives don’t matter and that is encouraging people to take our lives, it’s making our deaths go uninvestigated. I don’t want to die, I don’t want us to die.” View this post on Instagram (link in bio for support) On June 7th, yesterday- layleen cubilette polanco Xtravaganza, a black latinx trans woman was found dead in her cell on rikers island, the women's division.

For the 3,679th time, it must be said: People on the Internet can really suck. The latest evident of this unfortunate fact can be traced back to a photo Audrey Roloff shared on Instagram this week. The former Little People, Big World star – who walked away from that TLC series along with her husband last summer – loves nothing more than to post cute photos of her daughter, Ember. On Monday, this is exactly what Audrey thought she was doing when she put up the snapshot below. As you’re about to see, it features little Ember behind the wheel of a tractor on Roloff Farms, the sun setting in the background, a smile plastered on the toddler’s face. “The Farmer’s daughter. Oh hey June in Helvetia. You can find us here all summer long,” wrote Roloff as a caption, adding: “Riding mules, chasing chickens, picking wildflowers, covered in berry stains and freckles, and watching sunsets by the embers. On repeat.” Despite this being pretty much what social media ought to be made for (adorable pictures of young kids having fun), Audrey has been somewhat roasted by a bunch of judgmental followers. Can you guess why? Probably not, right? It’s actually because Ember is… sitting behind the wheel of a tractor. “Get her away from there right this instant, r u nuts?!?” wrote one annoyed user. Added another: “You’re just asking for a dangerous accident there. #thinktwicemama.” And then a third: “Shame on U, Audrey. What if she fell and got run over?” Crazy, right? That total strangers would take a mother to task for this? But it’s actually happened before… to the Roloffs, no less! In July 2018, Tori had to clap back against parent-shamers who had a similar reaction to a photo of her son also riding a large vehicle. And, look, we don’t want to jump on too high of a horse here, but: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? These kids are obviously safe and none of this is any of your business. Can you please stop giving her crap for photos such as the one above and also the one here ? It’s possible that you aren’t the biggest fan of Audrey Roloff. You may think she’s too self-righteous and you may think, as The Hollywood Gossip has often said, that Audrey exploits her religion at times to make money . But even the absolute harshest critic has to be honest about something. He or she absolutely has to admit the following: Audrey loves her daughter and would never do anything to hurt her. Shame on you for ever thinking or implying otherwise. View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: 19 Moments We’ll Never, Ever Forget
