Demi Moore, at 56,Looks great as she poses nude for Harper’s Bazaar cover!
Demi Moore says she regrets having threesomes with Ashton Kutcher in new book
Demi Moore 'traded up' and more stars who went younger and hotter
She’s still got it.
Demi Moore posed nude for the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, flaunting her fit physique poolside wearing only an oversize pink hat and a diamond bracelet.
“Baring all for the October issue of @harpersbazaarus,” Moore, 56, captioned the cover photo, which features the headlines “Be Your Best at Every Age” and “Look Better Naked,” on Instagram.
In the magazine, the “Striptease” star opened up to Lena Dunham, who interviewed the actress for the story, about her mother and father’s addiction issues — and her own.
“The next thing I remember is using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow out of her mouth while my father held it open and told me what to do,” Moore recalled. “Something very deep inside me shifted then, and it never shifted back. My childhood was over.”
The mother of three reflected on her life in time for the release of her memoir “Inside Out,” which will be released Sept. 24
Moore revealed to Dunham, 33, that she became sober in her 20s, struggled again in her 40s, and didn’t get back on track until her 50s.
She equated the value of being clean to childbirth, saying, “Part of being sober is, I don’t want to miss a moment of life, of that texture, even if that means being in … some pain.”
Moore famously posed naked while seven months pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991.
The 2019 Emmy Awards! Here's The Winners List!
The 2019 Emmys are here, which means only one thing: Hot Girl Summer is over, and Hot Girl Awards Season is well underway. The Television Academy has planned a broadcast that’s the host-less with the, uh, most-less … leaving plenty of time to present 27 categories. In case you missed them, last week’s Creative Arts Emmy recipients ranged from Lawful Good (Norman Lear! Rachel Bloom!) to Chaotic Evil (Rent “Live” won a Production Design Emmy over Beyoncé’s Homecoming for, what? Scaffolding?) Tonight’s nominees include a strong HBO showing due to the final seasons of Veep and Game of Thrones, and a general love of Bill Hader. It also features an Outstanding Comedy Actress group that may be the strongest lineup of nominees for anything in any awards show in recent memory. All of the winners are listed below, so you can see if your favorite television show of 2019 won. Providing it aired before June. Or sometime in the back half of 2018. Or wasn’t The Other Two.

#RHOA: The Cast is ‘Stunned’ By Kenya Moore’s Split With Husband Marc Daly!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast was just as surprised as fans by Kenya Moore’s split with husband Marc Daly.
Two days after declaring that Marc was “love of my life” on the Tamron Hall Show, Kenya announced her split from her husband of two years.
“Kenya’s RHOA cast members were stunned to hear that Kenya and Marc were separating, especially when they were just together earlier this week,” a source tells HollywoodLife.
In fact, sources say “nobody” in the RHOA cast “sensed any trouble” in Kenya’s marriage. Adding that the cast was especially blindsided by the announcement because they didn’t receive a heads up from Kenya before the news went public.
“Everyone found the news out the same way the public did — online,” the source reveals.
“Nobody sensed any trouble and they’re all trying to figure out exactly what happened,” the source continues. “Kenya is really private, so they don’t expect her to share much. Many of the ladies really liked Marc.”
And just like RHOA fans, the Atlanta Housewives want to know what caused Kenya and Marc’s sudden split.
However, unlike fans, the RHOA cast knew that Kenya’s marriage was far from perfect. The former couple has had their fair share of issues since tying the knot in June 2017.
“Kenya had issues in her marriage to Marc and the ladies knew that, but what relationship doesn’t,” a second source explains. “She never tried to hide that and she was really forthcoming about that. She was always honest.”
The first insider adds, “They all feel for her, especially Porsha who she has connected so deeply with over their new romances and babies.”
Kenya and Marc have kept the reason for the split hush-hush. Kenya blamed the split on “recent and ongoing circumstances” in a statement to HollywoodLife while Marc told PEOPLE, “rumors, innuendo or false accusations only serve to hurt [their] family.”
Now that their split is official, the RHOA star is moving on, looking forward, and focusing on her 10-month-old daughter Brooklyn.
“She’s doing the absolute best that she can and is focused on Brooklyn right now,” another insider revealed. Kenya is “focusing on herself” and “is still busy filming RHOA through October.”
“The ladies are leaving for their cast trip this Sunday and Kenya will be there,” the insider added
The RHOA cast is said to be heading to Greece for their season 12 cast trip.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently filming season 12 which will return to Bravo in late 2019 or early 2020.
#Empire: Taraji P. Henson Says She Didn't Think Cookie Would Be The Role That Made Her World Famous!
Taraji P. Henson did not think her role as Empire’s Cookie would be the one to make her world famous. Along with her television roles, Henson has had a super successful career in film and received an Oscar nomination in 2009 for her performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Henson continues to lead major movies.
Despite all of her movie success, it is her role in Empire that Taraji P. Henson credits for giving her recognition all over the world. Henson shared the insight as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Asked by Colbert what she got to do on Empire that she never thought she would able too, Henson responded:
Travel the world. I never thought a television show would take me global. I thought a movie would do it. Who knew that Cookie, with her loud mouth and her craziness, would go overseas. I never saw that.
Empire has been a well-documented hit in the United States, and the show’s success does not end there. The Fox hit’s popularity has reached across the world with Taraji P. Henson acknowledging that Cookie’s popularity has gone international. But, the film and TV star revealed that television was not where she was expecting to find that level of global recognition.
Empire premiered in 2015 and quickly became a mega-hit for Fox. Taraji P. Henson has been Emmy nominated twice for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Cookie Lyon, which is a sign of the series’ success with fans and critics alike. Speaking of fans, Henson was asked where has been the most surprising location she has heard “Hello, Cookie,” to which Henson told Stephen Colbert:
I’ve never been to Russia, but I saw in their paper Cookie with her fur hat on and Lucious. I was like, ‘Wait, they know Cookie in Russia.’ And they wanted to send me to Berlin, but I got busy and I couldn’t go. But it was just like, the place where Cookie was a hit, it blew my mind.
Cookie Lyon’s popularity will undoubtedly continue. Sadly, Empire fans only have one new season of the beloved character's journey left to watch. The show is set to end with its sixth season. As of today (September 20), the drama will return to begin its final installment in less than a week on Fox.
Empire’s final season will feature a Lethal Weapon star. Not set to star is Jussie Smollett, who played Cookie’s son, Jamal Lyon. According to series creator, Lee Daniels, Smollett will not be returning for Season 6. Daniels subsequently explained how the series would explain Jamal’s absence next season.
As for what the final season has in store for Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie, there have been some hints. Among the teases is that Cookie will have exited Empire and started a career as a TV personality. Empire executive producer, Brett Mahoney, has teased where Season 6 finds Cookie and how her life is going as she tries to move on from Lucious.
There were some major twists in last season’s finale. It turns out another Empire character was under consideration to be in the casket before the show settled on someone else. As for Cookie, who kept a significant secret in Season 5, she is heading into what is destined to be another eventful season.

#HipHopNews: J. Cole Says He's Done With Features Post Gang Starr's "Family & Loyalty"
DJ Premier caused an uproar earlier this week when he alluded to having new Gang Starr material on the horizon.
Sure enough, the tenured producer followed up with a new Gang Starr track on Friday (September 20) called “Family & Loyalty” featuring unreleased Guru vocals and new lyrics from J. Cole.
Despite the track’s positive reception, Cole says it will be the last time he hops on anybody else’s tracks.
“This is a honor to be on this song,” he wrote on Twitter. “NEW Gang Starr. This is the last feature you’ll hear from me. Thank you to everybody I got to work with during this run. @REALDJPREMIER This song a classic, thank you. RIP GURU.”
Cole’s latest solo project, KOD, was released in April 2018. The only feature is credited to Kill Edward, which is Cole’s alter ego.
On the flip side, Preemo has had his hands in several endeavors, including an executive producer role for MC Eiht’s 2017 Which Way Iz West album and last year’s PRhyme 2 with Royce Da 5’9.
Jonathan Van Ness’ Queer Eye Co-Stars & Celebs Support His HIV-Positive Revelation!
Following the revelation that Jonathan Van Ness is HIV-positive, numerous celebrities are speaking out in support of the Queer Eye star — and it’s no surprise that his co-stars on the Netflix show are also his most vocal supporters.
Van Ness previewed his new memoir Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love with the New York Times and opened up about being a proud "member of the beautiful HIV-positive community,” as well as his past addiction to sex and drugs.
“Having the opportunity to write my book and share my story with you is the most important opportunity I’ve ever had. The first article about the book came out today from the @nytimes & I’m relieved I can speak fully about the things that shape my experience in life. The book speaks to some extremely difficult times but it’s also filled with my humor, joy and voice & I can’t wait to share it with you fully. Thanks so much for your support so far, it means the world,” he wrote.
Van Ness’ Queer Eye co-stars immediately offered up words of support.
"Love you proud of you," Antoni Porowski wrote underneath Van Ness’ Instagram post. "Love you baby boy. So proud of you," Bobby Berk added. Tan France commented, "LOVE YOU, JACKI.”
Numerous other celebs, including Sophia Bush, Michelle Kwan, and Brené Brown, followed suit with kind words of their own.
“Just adore you. Fully and completely. We’re all lucky to have you,” Bush commented.
“Thank you for allowing yourself to be so raw & open and showing the world that vulnerability can be a strength. Love you @jvn,” wrote Kwan, one of Van Ness’ figure skating idols, who he has been learning to ice skate with in hopes of making it to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
“Dear @jvn - you make the world a braver, kinder, and more gorgeous place,” Brown tweeted along with the New York Times article, which Van Ness referenced her in. He responded to Brown, saying that he “wouldn’t be who I am without the work you’ve done.”
#BoxOfficeNews: 'Downton Abbey' Kills the Competition, with a $31 Million Opening!
It was a record weekend for Focus Features that saw Downton Abbey not only top the weekend box office, but it became the studio's largest opener ever, topping $30 million. The weekend's fellow new releases — Ad Astra and Rambo: Last Blood — delivered on expectations and are in a neck-and-neck battle for runner-up position and we'll have to wait for actuals to tell the full story on Monday afternoon.
With an estimated $31 million, Focus Features's Downton Abbey topped the weekend box office, giving the studio their largest opening weekend ever. Previously, Insidious Chapter 3 was the studio's record opener with $22.7 million followed by London Has Fallen, also making this their first release to ever top $30 million in nearly 20 years of film distribution. The film played to a crowd that was 74% female and of the total audience, 60% were aged 35 or older. Working in the film's favor was a positive, "A" CinemaScore from opening day audiences to go along with a 96% audience score on RottenTomatoes and 7.8/10 user rating on IMDb. All that said, it will be curious to see how the film performs next weekend given more than $4 million of the film's opening weekend gross was as a result of pre-weekend previews, though it did hold on well over the weekend suggesting a solid hold may be upcoming next weekend.
Internationally, after debuting in 17 markets last weekend, Downton Abbey added another 15 this week for a total of 32, from which the film brought in an estimated $10 million for the weekend for an overseas cume that currently stands just shy of $31 million. New markets were led by a $1.3 million debut in Germany while the UK remains the top overall market where the film added another $3.6 million in its second weekend for a cume that now totals $15.6 million. Next weekend the film will debut in France, Belgium and Denmark.
Second place is neck-and-neck at this time with Disney's release of Fox's sci-fi feature Ad Astra narrowly edging out Lionsgate and Millennium's Rambo: Last Blood, both bringing just over $19 million. At this time the edge goes to Ad Astra with an estimated $19.2 million from 3,460 locations. Reported to have been made for anywhere to $80-100+ million, the performance is hardly the kind of start the studio could have hoped for, not to mention the so-so "B-" CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences which were 54% male and 73% aged 25 or older.
Internationally, the film opened in 44 markets and hauled in an estimated $26 million for a $45.2 million global debut. Leading the way were $2.8 million openings in both Korea and the UK, followed by France ($2.7m), Spain ($2.2m), Japan ($2.2m), Mexico ($1.4m) and Australia ($1.3m). The film will debut in Italy, Russia and Brazil next weekend.
Just behind Ad Astra is Lionsgate and Millennium's Rambo: Last Blood with an estimated $19 million. The performance is just ahead of the $18.2 million opening for the last return of the title character in Rambo eleven years ago when the film opened with $18.2 million, albeit in nearly one thousand fewer locations. Working in the film's favor when compared to the performance for Ad Astra is it was made for a reported $50 million. Opening day audiences gave the film a "B" CinemaScore and the makeup of that audience was 66% male.
WB and New Line's It: Chapter Two finished in fourth position, dipping -56% in its third weekend in release for an estimated $17.2 million and a domestic cume that now tops $179 million. The sequel ranks as the third largest R-rated horror of all-time domestically and will soon become only the third R-rated horror to ever top $200 million at the domestic box office. Internationally, the film added another $21.3 million for an overseas cume that now totals over $205 million and a worldwide total topping $385 million.
Rounding out the top five is STXfilms's Hustlers with a solid second weekend performance, dipping just -49% for an estimated $17 million three-day and a domestic cume that now stands at $62.5 million. The film now ranks as the fourth largest release for STX all-time and will soon top A Bad Moms Christmas on its way to topping $100 million and perhaps challenging Bad Moms to become the studio's largest domestic release ever. The film also added another $3 million from 18 international markets currently in release for an overseas cume that now stands just shy of $10 million for a global tally topping $72 million.
Rihanna Called Out For Using Term “Spirit Animal”, Singer Says ‘It Won’t Happen Again’
While many have dubbed Rihanna their “spirit animal” the singer and entrepreneur said she’ll no longer use the term.
Rihanna was giving a shout out to a creative director for her Savage X Fenty fashion show, Parris Goebel, and wrote,
“y’all are literally bout to witness why this woman right here is my spirit animal! God gifted genius!!”
The post came just before the fashion show premiered on Amazon Friday (Sept. 20).
Still, while others swooned over Rihanna and Goebel, one fan took notice to Rihanna using the term “spirit animal.”
They commented,
“Please stop using “spirit animal” unless you belong to one of the indigenous groups to which this concept belongs.”
Rihanna responded,
The popular use of “spirit animal” has been said to be a form of appropriation for the Indigenous culture.
What do you think about Rihanna’s response?
Antonio Brown says he’s done with The NFL, Also goes off on Robert Kraft and Ben Roethlisberger
Two days after parting with his third team in six months, Antonio Brown declared himself to be “finished with the NFL” in a Sunday morning tweet, while calling out New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
The talented wide receiver was released by the Patriots on Friday amid an investigation into rape and sexual assault accusations, but found a way to make waves ahead of the NFL’s Week 3 Sunday game.
In addition to his announcement, Brown fired off scorched-earth tweets that he deleted just before noon, implying there was a double standard in how he was treated compared to Kraft, who has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of soliciting a prostitute last winter, and others who have been accused of sexual assault, including his former quarterback in Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger, and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe.
“Will not be playing in the @NFL anymore,” he tweeted, “these owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime we will see if the @NFLPA hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up !”
After being traded by the Steelers in March, he was cut by the Oakland Raiders before the start of the season. His stint with Kraft’s Patriots lasted just 11 days and one game. Although he played in Week 2 after the filing of a lawsuit alleging rape and sexual assault in 2017 and 2018, he was cut after a Sports Illustrated report last week that he had allegedly threatened a second victim. Brown has not been arrested and he has denied the allegations by both women. He has not addressed the threats.
“Kraft got caught in the parlor AB speculations fired different strokes different folks clearly,” he tweeted.
In response to his Patriots ouster, he will file a grievance, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, to get the $10 million guaranteed by New England, with $5 million of the $9 million signing bonus due to be paid Monday. The NFL Players Association will represent him. However, personal misconduct can void guarantees, something contained in contracts in all sports leagues. His tweet about the Patriots owner isn’t going to engender any goodwill with Kraft and Brown’s Sunday morning tweets about Kraft and the team may be a problem. Although he deleted the tweet, it may well trigger a clause that would void his deal.
Neither the NFL nor the Patriots immediately responded to a request for comment. The NFLPA did not immediately respond to a request for comment about a potential grievance or grievances on behalf of Brown. His contract with the Patriots includes a clause saying that his guarantees “will be null and void” if he “takes any action that materially undermines the public’s respect for, or is materially critical of, the Club, Player’s teammates or the Club’s ownership, coaches, management, operations or policies.”
Brown’s one-year contract with the Patriots was to be worth up to $15 million and included a $9 million signing bonus. The first payment of the signing bonus, for $5 million, is due Monday. The Oakland Raiders previously informed Brown that they were voiding about $29.1 million in guarantees in his three-year, $50.1 million contract with them. The Raiders accommodated Brown’s request to be released Sept. 7 following a series of incidents that included a practice-field verbal confrontation with General Manager Mike Mayock. Brown agreed to his contract with the Patriots later that day and the team announced the signing Sept. 9.
In his tweets, Brown called out Roethlisberger, noting that he was suspended in 2010 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student following a night of drinking. He was the first player suspended under the NFL’s personal conduct policy who was not arrested, charged with or convicted of a crime.
How the deal between Antonio Brown and the Patriots dissolved
“4 games for Big Ben,” he tweeted, “crazy world I’m done with it.”
Shannon Sharpe, the Hall of Famer who appears on FS1 and formerly appeared on CBS, was accused of sexual assault and making threats by a former girlfriend in 2010. The charges were dismissed, but that report did not escape Brown, either.
Brown continued with another tweet, sharing a link to a Daily Beast story about Sports Illustrated writer Robert Klemko allegedly being threatened by Patriots fans after he reported the second allegation, the one that led to Brown’s release. “System working effectively,” he noted.
Brown threatened retirement last month, when the helmet he had worn through his career was discontinued by the manufacturer and not certified by the national governing body because it was more than 10 years old. Brown was one of 32 NFL players who wore nonapproved helmets last season and were told they would not be able to wear them this year under a program jointly administered by the league and the NFLPA. He filed, and lost, a grievance and began working out with the Raiders, until his Sept. 9 release.
Brown’s latest retirement threat may well be a moot issue because the NFL hinted in a statement Friday that if a team were to pick up Brown, he would immediately be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, meaning that he would not be allowed to play or attend practice while the NFL is investigating the allegations against him. The league added that it had “made no findings” yet.
“As long as Mr. Brown is a free agent, placement on the commissioner’s exempt list is not appropriate,” the statement said. “If he is signed by a club, such placement may become appropriate at any time depending on the status of the investigation. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, he may also be subject to discipline if the investigation finds that he has violated the law or league policies.”
On Friday, Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, wrote on Twitter that Brown is “healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL,” adding that he hoped to play “soon” for another team.
A Pussycat Dolls Reunion Is Happening Sooner Than Anyone Expected
A source close to Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, says a reunion of the group is coming sooner than expected, stating Scherzinger will be back in the studio to record new music for the group as early as today.
According to Variety, another source says that Scherzinger bought part of the rights to PCD from choreographer Robin Antin, who founded the burlesque troupe in the ’90s. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Sun in the U.K. also recently reported that Scherzinger signed a “multi-million-pound deal” to rejoin the original Dolls for a 2020 reunion tour, which will include new music.
“I am working on music,” the lead singer confirmed to Variety at an event in Los Angeles. “I’m still evolving as an artist and as a writer and as a performer, so I can’t wait to release new stuff next year.”
Although she’s excited about new music after preparing an album with Interscope that was never released, Scherzinger did not clarify whether the new music was specifically for the Pussycat Dolls or for a solo project.
“People don’t always see all of the work that goes in behind the scenes,” she says of her never released music. “I know a lot of great writers, friends of mine like The-Dream or Snoop or Ne-Yo, continue to write and record music that never sees the light of day. Because maybe it’s not that pop hit,” she said, “but one day it’ll have its time.”
Kevin Hart and Car Wreck Passengers Are preparing to file Lawsuits against each other!
Kevin Hart and the passengers that rode with him in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda are said to be lawyering up.
According to the TMZ, Hart is taking heat from those injured parties in the Sept. 1 crash, including the driver and another passenger, who say Hart showed significant negligence for not having critical safety features installed like airbags and safety harnesses.
The missing safeguards in question were standard in more modern vehicles but were not common back in the 1970s, so Hart reportedly passed on them adding an extra bit of authenticity to the car.
The auto body shop who designed Hart’s car may also be on the hook for allowing the custom job to go through as well, reported TMZ, which said a negligence claim could be rooted in the body shop’s decision to go ahead with the job despite the car lacking modern safeguards in the powerful, 720 horsepower engine vehicle.

Mother Monster may have a lot going on right now, what with the launch of her new Haus Laboratories beauty brand and all, but she’s not lost sight of putting the finishing touches of her long-awaited sixth studio album — as evidenced in a new studio snapshot the “Shallow” singer shared to her Instagram Stories this week.
The picture shows the singer dressed in leopard garb and dark shades while standing in front of a soundboard with the simple caption, “#LG6,” hinting the dawn of Gaga’s new era is nearly upon us. In other words, get those claws out, Little Monsters!
It’s been over a month since we last received a progress report on the musician’s new project. She previously teased followers with a photo of her standing at her microphone while adjusting her headphones inside the recording booth, inscribing the post with “LG6.” Unfortunately, little has come to fruition since the “Born This Way” artist first made mention of her new LP earlier this year.
Back in March, while dispelling rumors that she was pregnant with her Star Is Born costar Bradley Cooper’s child, Gaga jokingly quipped back, “Rumors I’m pregnant?” Gaga tweeted. “Yeah, I’m pregnant with #LG6.”
As fans know, Gaga hasn't released another full-length of her own since her fifth studio effort, Joanne, dropped in 2016. Her latest music project was with the original motion picture soundtrack for A Star Is Born in 2018.

Celine Dion Begs Fellow Canadian Drake Not To Get A Tattoo Of Her Face
Drake may want to rethink his Celine Dion tattoo. Two years ago, the 6 God told his fellow Canadian that he was planning on getting a tat with her face on it. But the “My Heart Will Go On” singer is advising him against it. During an interview with iHeartRadio Canada this week, Dion begged Drizzy to reconsider.
“Please, Drake, I love you very much. Can I tell you something? Don’t do that,” she said. “You can write me love letters. You can send me autographs for my kids. You can come and visit. I can have you home for lunch or dinner. We can go for a drink. We can sing together. Whatever you want to do. I can talk to your mother. Whatever you want, but please.”
She also made a case as to why the tattoo will not age well. “This is not the money maker over here, first of all,” she added. “The thing I want to say to you, all of us here, we’re going forward in life. I’ve always been very thin. As time goes, as you go older, you too when times comes my face will go longer and it will go not prettier. Please don’t tattoo. If you do it, just do a fake one.”
After meeting the legendary songstress backstage at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017, Drizzy bowed to her and let her know that he was considering adding her to his tatted body. “You’re very iconic,” he said. “We love you. I’m like a year away from a Celine Dion tat.”
Drake already has an extensive tattoo collection of famous faces including Aaliyah, Lil Wayne, Denzel Washington, Sade, Rihanna, and The Beatles.
Chris Brown is Thirst Trapping Over Rihanna’s Lingerie Photo
I see Chris Brown wants that old thing back. The Indigo singer still seems to have feelings for his ex. Last night, Rihanna premiered her Savage x Fenty fashion show on Amazon Prime Video showcasing her new lingerie collection.
To promote the launch, she posted a sexy pic of herself laying on a bed in her lacy lingerie with her back turned to the camera and a lamp next to her, prompting thousands of comments from fans and famous friends including Brown, who left three separate comments on the post.
“I wanna be the lamp,” wrote Breezy, while adding two emojis including a smirking face and a stunned face.
But his comments didn’t sit well with some of Rihanna’s followers, given their troubled past (The couple split in 2009 after Brown physically assaulted his then-girlfriend). “Still disrespectful I see, she has a whole man!!” wrote one fan, while another commented, “She has a boyfriend and living her best life. Go away.”
This is not the first time Breezy has posted on his ex-girlfriend’s page. In May, he commented on another lingerie-clad photo of RiRi. “BOUGHT TO BREAK DA INTERNET!” he wrote in one, adding, “KEEP RISING QUEEN.”
Rihanna is currently dating billionaire businessman Hassan Jameel. “I got into a new relationship, and it matters to me,” she recently told Interview magazine.
Meanwhile, Brown is expecting his second child. The singer’s ex-girlfriend, model Ammika Harris, is reportedly pregnant with a baby boy.
