#RHOA: Kenya Says She Confronted Marc About Texting Another Woman Before Their Split!
Kenya Moore broke down in tears on Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta as she recalled the circumstances that led to her and Marc Daly‘s announcement that they were separating after two years of marriage.
In a candid conversation with cast mates Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey, a tearful Moore said that her intention was never to split from Daly.
“He kind of forced my hand,” Moore said, explaining that she had heard from her publicist that she and Daly were separating and he was planning on making a statement behind her back. “Everything just happened so fast.”
Moore and Daly announced they were going their separate ways back in September in coordinating statements. A day prior, the two were at a charity event Daly was throwing, where tension between them lead to a post-party fight.
“We went to the event and he just seemed very irritated the whole time we were there. Not loving, not being nice to me. He was just like, saying little things under his breath. It just seemed everything I was doing was an issue,” Moore said. “And then, I don’t know what happened, but he ended up getting in the Uber and we took off and he was just like, livid. He was like, ‘I didn’t even want you to come.’ Somehow I ruined his night.”
“Every time he gets mad, he goes in. He goes for my throat,” Moore continued. “It’s like, he can’t stop until he feels like he’s just destroyed me. I’ve seen him angry before, I’ve never seen him angry like that, where we’re that close to each other.”
Things got so bad, according to Moore, that the Uber driver asked Daly to get out of the car. “It got really out of hand,” Moore said. “And I told him he can’t come back here.”
But that wasn’t the only argument the two had — Moore also recounted a fight she and Daly got into before the event. She told Burruss and Bailey that she long had suspicions her husband had been involved in an inappropriate relationship with another woman, concerns that grew after she saw “text messages” been Daly and one of his exes in New York City.
“One of the women was begging him to keep the sex going even though that he was married. … She was like, ‘You make me feel this way, that way, is there any way we can keep this going?'” Moore claimed. “That woman, he still communicates with after I told him, ‘This is inappropriate.'”
After learning that the two were still talking, Moore said she contacted the woman over the phone.
“I called the bitch too, which I regret that I did,” she said. “She answered the phone and I said, ‘You might want to take me off the speakerphone, this is Ms. Marc Daly.’ … And I proceeded to let her know if she came anywhere else near my husband, I know where she lives.”
After that call, Moore said she confronted Daly. “We had this big blow out and I’m like, ‘What did I marry? What is going on here?'” Moore said. “We had talked about separating and Marc is like, ‘I was wrong for that, I’m sorry.’ And I just said, ‘Okay. That was your one mess-up.'”
While Moore may have had her concerns, in October she denied reports to PEOPLE that Daly had cheated.
“I can tell you I’ve heard a lot of rumors about secret families. I can tell you that’s completely made up; there’s zero truth to that,” she said. “In terms of infidelity, I’ve had no proof of that. That’s not our issue.”
Still, she said on Sunday’s RHOA that she “missed a lot of red flags” with Daly.
“When you’re excited and you’re in love and you feel hopeful, you ignore the red flags,” she said. “The last few weeks have taught me you can’t believe who someone says they are, you have to believe who someone shows you who they are.”
Ultimately, Moore stressed to her friends that she didn’t want to get divorced.
“It’s really hard,” she said, breaking down in tears. “To just sit here and be in turmoil the whole time and unhappy and crying? I can’t. I have to just look at my daughter’s face and just be like, ‘If you don’t do nothing else, you’re going to look back at your mom and go, ‘You know what mom, I respect you’ Because you did the right thing. You did not stand for somebody treating you a certain way.'”
Moore and Daly wed in June 2017 and are parents to daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly, born on Nov. 4, 2018.
Since they went their separate ways in September, the pair have continued to co-parent Brooklyn. Moore has also been open about the fact that she’s hopeful they will find a way back together one day.
“I didn’t get married to quit,” she told PEOPLE in October. “I love my husband. I don’t doubt that he loves me. Let me be clear, I took my vows seriously. I believe in for better and for worse and I believe in trying it all before you walk away, especially when we do have a child and we are a family.”
It seems to be working. “We’re in a good place right now,” Moore said on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in February. “We’re trying to figure it out now. We had a beautiful brunch today and it is great.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.
#Empire: Jussie Smollett Rejected By Illinois Supreme Court In Bid To Halt New Indictments Over Fake Hate Crime!
The Illinois Supreme Court rejected former Empire actor Jussie Smollett’s request to throw out charges against him.
In addition to that, the court rejected Smollett’s bid to remove the special prosecutor in the case. The decisions were announced on Friday.
Appearing in a Cook County criminal courthouse to plead not guilty this morning, the former Empire star was also pleading with the Illinois Supreme Court to kill the latest charges. The filed motion for a stay and dismissal of special prosecutor Dan Webb’s February 11 move of six renewed charges claims that “the recent Smollett indictment wasn’t proper because the special prosecutor was appointed incorrectly.”
As controversy continued to grow around the assault that Smollett asserted occurred in the early morning of January 29, 2019 and the sudden and seemingly painless dropping of 16 subsequent charges in March of last year by the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, ex-U.S. Attorney Webb was appointed by a judge late last summer – an appointment that never should have been allowed to go forward.
“The circumstances surrounding the initial case in 2019 did not reach the legal level warranting the appointment of a special prosecutor,” lawyer William J. Quinlan and long-time Smollett attorney Tina Glandian stated in the paperwork. “Under the terms of the law, in order to appoint a special prosecutor, the office (of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx) had to file a former recusal with the court,” the motion added, “and that didn’t occur here.”
In fact, at the corresponding appearance Monday in front of Land of Lincoln Judge James Linn, lawyers for Smollett sought to have the pause button hit on the whole arraignment due to the state Supreme Court action. With Smollett and supporters standing there, Judge Linn declined to delay the proceedings, heard the actor who played Jamel Lyon for five seasons on the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong created series enter his plea and told him to be back on March 18.
Essentially fired from the now ending Empire once it appeared all was not as Smollett claimed about the early morning attack, the actor has spent the last year battling ongoing and politically invoked lawsuit from the city itself over the initial Chicago Police Department probe into the claimed hate crime, challenges from the once “persons of interest” Osundairo brothers and the steady release of what were once sealed document and material.
Among those matters, there was also a failed previous legal attempt to have the special prosecutor pink slipped.
Thinking he was free of the potential 50 years in jail from the charges of the first case, Smollett could be looking at a decade or more behind bars from the half a dozen new charges of disorderly conduct if found guilty.
On the small screen, a Smollett-less Empire is back on Fox for its last episodes on March 3.

#HipHopNews: Pop Smoke Laid To Rest At Brooklyn Funeral!
Pop Smoke was laid to rest in Brooklyn on Thursday. Family and friends turned out in droves to celebrate the 20-year-old rapper’s life during a massive funeral procession in Canarsie. A white horse-drawn carriage made its way through the streets as fans lined up on the sidewalks to pay their respects to the fallen star.
The black casket with glass windows and white curtains traveled past a mural honoring Pop Smoke, while 50 Cent’s Versace-wrapped Lamborghini was also part of the procession.
At one point, Pop Smoke’s music blared from a speaker alongside a hearse as fans popped champagne and danced to his songs including “Invincible.” His mother waved to fans who chanted “Woo!” as the carriage drove past them.
Last weekend, Pop Smoke’s family honored him during a private ceremony. After today’s procession, he will be laid to rest in a Brooklyn cemetery.
“The family of Bashar ‘Pop Smoke’ Jackson would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for your support,” the Jackson family said in a statement last month. “Every prayer, call, and act of kindness is deeply appreciated as we mourn the loss of our son, brother, and friend.”
Pop Smoke, born Bashar Barakah Jackson, was shot and killed after four men broke into his Hollywood Hills home on Feb. 19. The investigation into his murder is ongoing. It’s unclear if he was the victim of a random robbery or if he was targeted. No arrests have been made.
50 Cent said he plans to keep his music alive by releasing a posthumous album. He has called on big names including Drake, Chris Brown, Post Malone, and Roddy Ricch for the project, which is due in May.

#BoxOfficeNews: 'Onward' Marched onwards to a $40 Million Debut!
Disney and Pixar's Onward topped the weekend box office, but fell just a bit shy of expectations, a performance some may relate to the current COVID-19 concerns, though most everything else performed as expected if not better. Universal's The Invisible Man held on quite well, delivering a second place performance, while WB's release of The Way Back landed within expectations.
With an estimated $40 million, Disney and Pixar's Onward fell on the extreme, lower end of expectations, which some saw creeping as high as $50 million. While critical opinion was high heading into the weekend and the film received an "A-" CinemaScore from opening day crowds and 96% audience score on RottenTomatoes, it was unable to catch fire over Saturday and Sunday. That said, with additional schools soon to be on spring break over the coming weeks, there is still more than enough opportunity film the film to deliver a respectable overall performance should concerns over COVID-19 begin to subside. Overall, audiences were 52% female with kids and parents making up 58% of the opening weekend crowd.
Finishing in the runner-up position is Universal and Blumhouse's The Invisible Man, holding on much better than we had anticipated, dipping just -46% for a $15.1 million second weekend. The $7 million production now finds its domestic cume climbing over $52 million after just ten days in release. Internationally, the film added an additional $17.3 million this weekend for an overseas total that now tops $45 million and a global tally, just shy of $100 million at $98.3 million.
Rolling into third is Warner Bros.'s The Way Back with an estimated $8.5 million. While on the lower end of expectations for the $20+ million production it is within the anticipated range. Opening day audiences gave the film a "B+" CinemaScore while the overall weekend crowd was 53% female and 87% of the audiences as aged 25 or older. Internationally, The Way Back debuted in 14 overseas markets this weekend to an estimated $640k on 448 screens. Australia led the way with $219k while the next key markets to open will be in April.
Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog isn't too far behind in fourth with an estimated $8 million as it begins its fourth week in release with a domestic cume that now tops $140 million. Internationally, the film added another $12 million for an overseas total reaching $154.8 million and a global haul that now stands over $295 million.
Rounding out the top five is 20th Century's The Call of the Wild, finishing the weekend with an estimated $7 million for a domestic cume that now tops $57 million as it begins its third week in release. Internationally, it added another $4.8 million for an overseas cume that now tops $42 million and a global total just shy of $100 million at $99.6 million.
Mother Reacts To Son’s Involvement In Brooklyn Girl’s Assault, “I Wanted To Kill Him With My Bare Hands”!
14-year-old, Alex, was one of the teens who turned themselves in for the brutal sidewalk beating of a 15-year-old girl. His mother, Donna Howell, was “very disappointed” in her son, and “wanted to kill him with [her] bare hands” when she was the raw footage of the attack.
“I did not teach him to act like an animal in the street,” Howell said of her son.
The victim had been walking up Utica Avenue in Crown Heights when she was ambushed by five teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 17-years-old, reports confirmed.
“Video footage captured the group punching and kicking the girl int he head as she lay helpless on the pavement, finishing off the attack by snatching her Air Jordan 1 retro sneakers off her feet,” the NY Post wrote.
Howell discovered the video on social media, apparently. “I watched the video twice, it kept popping up on my feed. I realized that’s my kid. I just went numb.” The 42-year-old was getting her eyelashes done at the time. The technician described Howell’s reaction as looking like she “just saw a ghost.”
Howell forced her 8th-grade son to turn himself in at the 77th Precinct Station House. He was hesitant at first, the mother admitted. “No you’re going to, you’re going to turn yourself in,” she told her son. Shortly after, she left the house, and when she returned, she found her son gone. “He had just walked and turned himself in [to police],” she said.
Four other teenage boys also turned themselves in Friday night. All are being charged with robbery and gang assault and are awaiting arraignment at Kings County Criminal Court.
Investigators believe the group attack had to do with a fight the girl was involved in earlier in the school day.
The video of the assault gained national attention. City Councilman Robert Cornegy (D-Brooklyn) commented, “I have never seen in my lifetime this kind of incident where young men perpetrate this kind of violence on an innocent woman. I remember growing up under mob mentality in Brooklyn. There were still rules and the rules said that women were untouchable.”
A neighbor of the victim, Jacob Black, 13, told the NY Daily News, “She doesn’t get in trouble, she doesn’t deserve that. She’s a basketball player, that’s all she does. She goes to school and comes home. She’s quiet. Those were animals. I can’t see how those young boys did that to her.”
“My heart breaks for the victim’s family. I’m just very, very sorry. I feel very, very bad for her,” Howell told The Post. She added that her son would be “on punishment” for years to come for his involvement in the incident.

Pot Calling Kettle? Loni Love Says African-American Women Don’t Know How to Eat Healthy and She Upsets Many!
Loni Love sparked a major debate when she said that Black people don’t know how to eat healthy.
Love is now working with Weight Watchers, now just called WW, as an ambassador. “The Real” co-host talked about the company’s weight loss program on the show this week, sharing how she’s on what’s called The Purple Plan.

Love then talked about the program’s point system, and she had various plates of food laid out so her co-hosts could guess how many points each carries under the plan. Love said that she’s given 36 points for the day, and the goal is to remain under that number.
The conversation was kept fun and playful, but things took an abrupt, serious turn when Love spoke about growing up in Detroit’s public housing system. Her comments come around the 6:35 mark of the video.
“I did not know how to eat,” Love said as she began to cry. “Growing up in the projects, we just had to eat what we could. I know it sounds funny, but a lot of women in the African-American community, we don’t know how to eat because we grew up that way. So I’m trying to tell y’all, thank you to WW, because we wanted to do this, to help our brothers and sisters, everybody.”
She continued on from there. “I see y’all at my comedy shows and y’all like, ‘We need to get healthier,’ and that’s the reason why we’re doing this,” Love explained. “It’s just to make y’all aware of what’s happening in the community. So you can eat and not starve and you can still lose weight.
“That’s the reason why we’re doing this,” she added. “Thank you so much to WW. Thank you to Oprah Winfrey for allowing us to do this, because we have to get healthier y’all.”
Many took Love to task on social media afterward and said they have a huge problem with her making a blanket statement about Black women and Black people in general.
Some also brought up “The Real” fellow co-host Amanda Seales in their comments. Seales wore a deadpan look on her face as Love talked about her childhood.
“Amanda was looking like, ‘How you putting this on Black women. Speak for yourself’ lol,” one person wrote. “Americans have an unhealthy diet by large. Every episode, Loni has a large statement about Black people. Black men can’t be faithful. Black women don’t know how to eat…like damn lol.”
“UGHHH again !!! Loni your black experience don’t represent all black women !!!” another person stated.
There was a fair share of people who agreed with Love and commented on the disparities in healthy food choices between low-income neighborhoods and other areas.
“Loni HAS HAD some anti-blackness issues but her relating her experience as a poor black child in a food desert is not one,” someone wrote. “Think abt why yall couldn’t manage an ounce of sympathy for her discussing lack of access to nutritious food&resorting to diet culture now to counteract that.”
Love saw a similar backlash when she made statements about the Black community earlier this year.
In January, she said that Black men don’t know how to carry on monogamous relationships and got blasted for it. She made the comment after Kevin Hart‘s cheating scandal was discussed in his Netflix docuseries “Kevin Hart: Don’t F–k This Up.”
“Beauty And The Beast” Has a Prequel Series In Development For Disney!
Disney+ is teaming with Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the creators of “Once Upon a Time” as well as stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans for a “Beauty and the Beast” prequel series to the 2017 feature film in which the latter pair starred.
The untitled limited series will be a six-episode musical event that will feature music from composer Alan Menken, who is in talks to return as well.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources claim the project will take place well before the events of the film and also expand Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” universe. No other stars from the movie are attached to the project yet, though sources say there is a possibility that stars like Emma Watson and Dan Stevens could pop in for a guest spot.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have reportedly been back together for a month!
Kylie and Travis have been at the centre of a lot of speculation since they broke up in October last year. Firstly, in January the two reunited to celebrate Stormi's second birthday at Disney World. Then Travis took to Instagram to get all thirsty in Kylie's comment section. Then, the big one came at the beginning of this month, when Kylie posted a string of Instagram stories featuring her and Travis looking cosy alongside the caption, "It's a mood."
Now, according to ET, a source says the pair are not only back together, but have been for "about a month".
The source told ET, "The couple has always had love and respect for one another but took a break last year because they both had so much going on. They couldn’t fully focus on what it took to make the relationship work Kylie exploded in the makeup world and was busy making a billion dollar business and Travis was on tour and working on music. Although things haven't slowed down much for the duo, they're better able to handle it...at the end of the day, the couple is happy to have their family back together."
While neither Kylie or Travis have confirmed the reunion, you can rest assured that I'll be here, scouring Instagram comments day and night for further proof.
