#MAGFAB: TIME’s 2022 Women of the Year List
TIME reveals the first-ever TIME Women of the Year list, recognizing 12 extraordinary leaders working toward a more equal world. To celebrate, TIME is hosting an invite-only gala on International Women’s Day, Tuesday, March 8, in Los Angeles. The event will feature appearances from Women of the Year honorees including Tracy Chou, Allyson Felix, Amanda Gorman, Sherrilyn Ifill, Jennie Joseph, Amanda Nguyen, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez and Kerry Washington, and as well as a special musical performance by Kacey Musgraves.
Additional honorees spotlighted on the list include Amal Clooney, Adena Friedman, and Zahra Joya.
TIME Executive Editor Naina Bajekal and Senior Editor Lucy Feldman, who oversaw the project, write: “The pandemic underscored the ways in which broken systems hurt women, from rising domestic violence to disproportionate job losses. When we sat down last fall to conceive a version of this project that could become an ongoing tradition, we chose to spotlight leaders who are working to create a better future for women everywhere. Our 2022 Women of the Year list features 12 individuals who have reached across communities, generations, and borders to fight for a more inclusive and equitable world.”
The inaugural Women of the Year list and gala builds on the success of TIME’s 2020 Women of the Year project, which recognized 100 leaders, innovators, activists, entertainers, athletes and artists who defined a century, ranging from Amelia Earhart and Beyoncé to Eva Perón and Malala Yousafzai. That project was the result of a partnership between TIME and filmmaker Alma Har’el, known for genre-redefining creativity and a relentless dedication to gender equality behind and in front of the camera; and P&G, whose brands reach 5 billion people daily and is committed to creating a world free from gender bias with an equal voice, equal opportunity, and equal representation for all individuals.
#RHOA: Kandi Burruss Confirms Rumored Feud Throwing Peaches’ at Marlo Hampton?
Kandi Burruss confirms in an interview with HollywoodLife that she and Marlo Hampton ‘bumped heads’ on the new season of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is coming back for season 14 with some major changes. Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams are out, Sheree Whitfield is back, and Marlo Hampton is FINALLY getting a peach! You also have returning cast members Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore and Drew Sidora, while Sanya Richards-Ross joins the group as the new Housewife. The upcoming season will surely bring plenty of drama, including one feud that fans may not have see coming: Kandi vs. Marlo!
During this week’s new episode of the Pay Attention Puh-Lease! podcast, Kandi, 45, promoted her new spinoff series Kandi & The Gang and teased the upcoming season of RHOA. Kandi admitted she was “shocked” that she and Marlo didn’t get along this season after being friends for years.
“Marlo, you heard, this peach that she got. Now she wants to go throwing peaches at everybody. Listen, I was the main one saying she needs to get a peach. And then me and her bumped heads. It was crazy,” Kandi, who has been on the show since season 2,.
The Old Lady Gang restaurant owner said more about her beef with Marlo. “She had bumped heads with some other people. But I didn’t think she was gonna bump heads with me,” Kandi explained. “I wasn’t expecting that. I was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is not it.’ It got really bad to be honest with you. But we recovered.”
As for the other cast members, Kandi said that OG Housewife Sheree’s second return to the franchise will not disappoint. “She came back guns blazing, and she was very transparent about her life and what was going on,” Kandi revealed. “The stuff that was happening with her and her relationship. Oh my god, like she was open about it all. Which obviously makes great TV.”
Kandi also revealed that she was “nervous” to film RHOA without two longtime peach holders (Cynthia and Porsha). But once filming got going, Kandi realized the beloved Bravo series was firing on all cylinders once again. “This season was good and different. Everybody was really making an effort to build real relationships with each other again,” she said. So what do you think?

#HipHopNews: Dababy Reflects On Personal Growth: ‘It’s A Learning Process’
DaBaby is a work in progress.
The rapper is opening up about the controversy that has surrounded his life and career, including his July 2021 performance at Rolling Loud Miami where he made homophobic remarks and spread harmful misinformation about HIV/AIDS.
While promoting his joint album with NBA YoungBoy, Better Than You, DaBaby stopped by SiriusXM this week where he reflected on his personal growth over the past year.
“I grow every day, but, above all, I’m just more knowledgeable about the tolerance of the business I’m in,” he told Mina Say What. “It’s a learning process… You know, being an artist, 24/7 full time. Not only that, like, I was an artist at the highest level. Like I made it to the highest level of this shit. So it’s like you get the adjustments that you gotta make, just like becoming a grown ass man in life.”
DaBaby apologized for his offensive remarks (and later retracted it), but the backlash led to his removal from several festival lineups, while artists including his “Levitating” collaborator Dua Lipa spoke out against him.
He admits that he’s had to make adjustments in the past year. “I had no choice,” he said. “But that’s what I do. I adapt, I adapt by all means under any circumstance, I adapt to whatever. Wherever I go, life is life.”
DaBaby’s personal life has often played out on social media, including his contentious relationship with DaniLeigh, the mother of his child, and his recent altercation with the singer’s brother at a bowling alley. But he won’t apologize for defending himself.
“As a human, I got the urge to defend myself every single time,” he said. “When it leans towards like personal shit, like close to affecting the food that’s put on my daughter’s table … Or the people around me, or you know, businesses that I’m affiliated to—I really don’t. I can give two fu**s about it, but like when it touch personal places, ’cause that’s the shit I really do care about… That’s when, you gonna see me, motherfu**ers gon’ have to hold my tongue. They gonna have to come snatch that motherfu**er out of my mouth, it’s gonna get like that. ‘Cause I’m human.”
However, he’s learned to accept the circumstances. “But other than that, you know what I mean? It really ain’t about nothing. That’s what come with the territory. Absolutely. Life is life.”
One year after his controversial performance, DaBaby is set to make his return to the Rolling Loud Miami stage. He will perform at the festival in July alongside headliners Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Future.
The US Supreme Court Declines to Consider Reinstating Bill Cosby's Sexual Assault Conviction
The Supreme Court determined Monday that it would not consider reinstating Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction, dealing a blow to prosecutors who hoped to put the accused sex offender back in prison.
Last June, Cosby was released from prison early when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court made the controversial decision to vacate his conviction. The actor and comedian was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison in 2018 for sexually assaulting a former Temple University employee in his mansion in 2004 — one of many sex crimes he's been accused of committing during his decades-long career.
The Pennsylvania court's 2021 ruling had "nothing to do with guilt or innocence," Northeastern University Professor of Law and Criminal Justice Daniel Medwed previously said. "It's really more of a reaction to what I would consider a prosecutorial misstep."
In 2005, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor said that Cosby would not face criminal prosecution in former Temple employee Andrea Constand's case. With the understanding that he would not be prosecuted, Cosby admitted in a deposition in Constand's civil suit against Cosby, which was later settled, to giving quaaludes to women with whom he wanted to have sex.
But Castor's successor, Kevin Steele, didn't honor the former DA's agreement with Cosby. Years later, he brought criminal charges against Cosby, using his private confession against him in court. That confession helped pave a path to conviction, raising questions about the constitutionality of Steele's actions.
In overturning Cosby's conviction, the Pennsylvania court concluded that Steele's disregard for his predecessor's agreement with Cosby was unconstitutional, and Cosby should never have been tried for that crime.
News that an admitted sex offender was freed from prison concerned sexual assault survivors, who worried that Cosby's release would have negative repercussions for future sexual assault cases.
Constand reacted to the 2021 ruling in a shared statement with her attorneys, saying: "Today's majority decision regarding Bill Cosby is not only disappointing, but of concern in that it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault in the criminal justice system from reporting or participating in the prosecution of the assailant or may force a victim to choose between filing either a criminal or civil action."
It was on these concerns that prosecutors hoped the U.S. Supreme Court would step in and reinstate Cosby's conviction, a hope cut short this week when the justices declined to review the case, thus letting last year's ruling stand.
In a statement Monday, Cosby's spokesperson, Andrew Wyatt, expressed "sincere gratitude" to SCOTUS for "following the rules of the law."
"Mr. Cosby's Constitutional Rights were a 'reprehensible bait and switch' by Kevin Steele, Judge Steve T. O'Neill and their cohorts," Wyatt wrote. "This is truly a victory for Mr. Cosby but it shows that cheating will never get you far in life and the corruption that lies within Montgomery County District's Attorney Office has been brought to the center stage of the world."
Brian Perry, an attorney for the 84-year-old celebrity, told PEOPLE in a statement that Cosby's trial "should never have been allowed in an American courtroom."
"This man served three years in a state penitentiary in a case where highest court in Pennsylvania, and now the United States, emphatically decided was unjust," Perry wrote. "Kevin Steele, the Montgomery County District Attorney, campaigned for the job on the promise to charge Mr. Cosby despite that fact that his predecessor made an agreement not to prosecute, and Mr. Cosby relied on that agreement to his detriment."
Constand and her legal team still aren't sure, calling the outcome "unfortunate"
"Not only does the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision stand to bind other courts based simply on an early press release by a prosecutor announcing a declination of prosecution at the time (before evidence to proceed is developed and vetted)," the statements reads, "but it assumes there was a valid agreement not to prosecute, which was vigorously disputed in the Habeas proceedings, and determined by the trial judge to not exist."

#BoxOfficeNews: ‘The Batman’ Soars To A Big Box Office Opening
“The Batman” — which stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman — notched an estimated $128.5 million at the North American box office this weekend, according to its studio Warner Bros. (Warner Bros., like CNN, is a unit of WarnerMedia.)
The opening flew past industry expectations that had the movie making closer to $100 million. It stands as the best opening of 2022 so far.
The total also represents one of the largest openings for the Dark Knight. And that’s saying something considering that Batman is one of cinema’s most popular brands. Films based on the character have hauled in more than $5 billion at the worldwide box office since 1989’s “Batman.”
On a symbolic level, this type of opening is exactly what both Warner Bros. and theaters needed right now.
For the studio, “The Batman” marks a return to the exclusive theatrical experience following a year of releasing films on its streaming service, HBO Max, and in theaters at the same time. This weekend’s numbers show there’s still a lot of strength in releasing a film exclusively to theaters.
As for the theater industry, “The Batman’s” box office is another step towards normalcy after two years of stops and starts because of the pandemic.
“The Batman” making $128.5 million is also impressive considering that the film was both lengthy — and decidedly grim.
Clocking in at two hours and 56 minutes, it’s one of the longest superhero movies ever made. That extended run time makes it hard to maximize screenings, and thus tickets sales. Also, the film’s violent, dark tone isn’t exactly family friendly, so that likely kept some ticket buyers from bringing kids to the movie.
'The Batman' flies high with its dark and serious Dark Knight, but hangs around too long
Despite all of that, it clearly found an audience, likely helped by the stellar reviews.
“The Batman” notched an 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes and an “A-” CinemaScore from audiences.
CNN’s Brian Lowry wrote in his review that the film is “a dark and serious epic.
“‘The Batman’ presents a muscular vision of the Dark Knight that hardcore fans have long desired,” he said.
So what’s next for the box office adventures of “The Batman”? Likely more money.
March is wide open for the film since there’s really not much competition for the rest of the month. The next potential big money-maker, Sony’s “Morbius,” doesn’t hit theaters until April 1.
Jeannie Mai: Breastfeeding is ‘Even More Difficult Than Giving Birth’
New to nursing. Nearly two months after giving birth to daughter Monaco, Jeannie Mai broke down her breast-feeding struggles.
via: Page Six: On Friday, the talk show host opened up on Instagram about the difficulties she’s encountering trying to produce enough milk for her daughter, Monaco.
“Been tackling this breastfeeding thing for two months,” she wrote alongside photos of herself using a breast pump. “Listening to a lactation nurse, reading advise online, and getting so much help from other moms (?) Hands down, it’s been the most difficult part of this entire mom journey. I already HEARD it was gonna be, but I never imagined this. For me, it’s was even more difficult than giving birth ?.”
Mai, 43, went on to explain what a nurse advised her to do to maintain milk supply, but says that it hasn’t worked.
“Since then, every 3 hrs looked like this: Latch, supplement with formula since I could only give her an ounce, (IF that), go and pump to signal to body to make more milk, set alarm to take milk thistle pills, sunflower Lecithin pills, drink fenugreek tea, massage boobs, in one hour prepare boobs with a hot compress or towel, wake the baby up, repeat. And two months later, I STILL don’t make enough milk to feed my baby,” she wrote.
“The Real” host revealed that she had to stop herself from comparing herself to other mothers and found that she was letting it affect her emotional health.
“I had to catch myself because it actually got to my mental, and things started to feel dark. Comparing myself to other moms, frustrated from the ups and down of pumping an ounce one day, nothing the next..and this is ON TOP of all the anxiety this journey can bring. Not complaining, actually here to give moms out there, breastfeeding or not, all the flowers and praise for doing your best to care for your baby-formula or boob. I have more respect for moms than ever in my life. And I have to remember me included ???Hugs to every mom out there??” she concluded.
This isn’t the first time the former stylist has been so transparent about her pregnancy and post-pregnancy journey.
In January, she admitted that she felt like her lower half was “about to fall off” after giving birth.
“While being a new mom is the most exhilarating moment I have ever experienced in my life — nothing prepared me for postpartum. NOTHING,” she captioned an Instagram post. “No book I’ve read, advice I’ve gotten, that could have compiled ALL the things I’d need just to sit, lay down, walk, or even hold our baby.”
Mai and rapper Jeezy — whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins — tied the knot in April 2021 following her divorce from first husband, Freddy Harteis, in 2017.
Previously, Mai had not wanted to have children but that changed when she wed Jeezy, 44. She immediately began IVF treatments on their wedding day so they could start a family together and they welcomed their daughter in January.
Netflix Stops Service in Russia Amid Ukraine Invasion
Netflix is no longer serving customers in Russia amid the Ukraine invasion ordered by Vladimir Putin.
The streaming service shut down service entirely in the country, they confirmed on Sunday (March 6).
“Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a spokesperson said, via Variety.
Netflix previously announced that it would pause all future projects and acquisitions from Russia, joining many countries who have similarly cut ties with the country due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Netflix had four Russian originals in the works, now put on hold. They also refused to carry 20 Russian free-to-air propaganda channels that they were required to host under Russian law.
In addition to government sanctions against Russia, companies like Microsoft, Apple and Dell have all announced that they have suspended sales in Russia, while Ikea has closed stores and Nike has said it will no longer fulfill online orders, via Variety.
Nicki Minaj discusses possible ‘Big 3’ tour with Drake and Lil Wayne
Will Young Money’s big three ever tour together? One fan asked Nicki Minaj this question during an impromptu Q&A on her Twitter account Saturday (March 5).
“Seeing Green’ will sound so good live,” the fan tweeted.
“Yes, of course- that’s been discussed many times,” she replied. “Really a matter of timing. Also, IDK how all 3 of us would have enough time on stage to please all of our diff fans.”
“Those are some pretty large catalogs,” she added.
While Nicki and Drake have both toured with Lil Wayne separately, a tour featuring all three of them together — at the height of their careers — has yet to materialize.
Nicki appeared as an opening act during Wayne’s I Am Music II Tour, and who can forget the Drake vs. Lil Wayne Tour in the summer of 2014?
Whenever the “Bussin” rapper does decide to go on tour, she states that she plans to choose 10 “lucky Barbz” she’ll fly out for each show.
“Thinking if I should give them each 2 tkts or also include backstage access & a photo,” she replied to a fan. “I think I’ll choose the winners 2 weeks b4 each show. Travel not included. Or should I throw that in too? Hmmm lemme think on dat.”
Nicki has been working on new music and is gearing up to release an album this year. When one fan asked whether Drake will be on her forthcoming project, Nick said that the two have actually discussed Drizzy “EP’ing this new album.”
“That was b4 Seeing Green even came out,” she replied.
Nick also confirmed she is slated to perform at Essence Festival in New Orleans and Wireless Festival in London this year but asked fans if they had other tours they would like to see her perform at?
The responses ranged from Summer Jam in New York to Coachella in California, Made in America in Philadelphia, Lollapalooza in Chicago, and Rolling Loud.
NLE Choppa’s unborn son Seven passes away
NLE Choppa is mourning the death of his unborn son. On Saturday (March 5), Choppa took to Twitter to share the news that his child, Seven Da’Shun Potts, has passed away. “#Forever7 RIP My Lil One,” he tweeted.
He also shared a link to a video featuring the mother of the child — model Marissa Da’Nae. During the 45 minute vlog, Choppa and Marissa discuss her miscarriage and how they’ve coped with the loss.
“We had a doctor’s appointment the week before February 23,” Marissa revealed in the vlog. “When we went to the doctor’s appointment they told us Seven wasn’t where he was supposed to be.”
“Weight-wise,” Choppa interjects. “They said he was probably sick in the womb, determining by his weight it could probably mean he was sick but his heart rate was constant he had a normal heartbeat but his weight wasn’t what it was supposed to be.”
On Feb. 23, Marissa said the couple attended another doctor’s appointment where they did a vaginal ultrasound and they couldn’t find a heartbeat. Doctors also did a regular ultrasound, and were unable to hear any signs of life.
“I had to proceed with doing the rest of what I needed to do. So we lost him,” she said tearfully.
“It had a lot to do with my placenta,” she added. “Him not getting a lot of nutrients from my placenta. I had high blood pressure … I just kept feeling like I don’t feel too good. I’m hurting.”
The condition baby Seven had is called fetal growth restriction. According to Stanford Children’s Health, fetal growth restriction means the baby weighs less than 9 out of 10 babies of the same gestational age.
It can begin at any time during a pregnancy, and can cause many problems. Several factors increase the risk of fetal growth restriction, per Stanford Children’s Health, including a placenta not attaching well, the mother having too few red blood cells, low weight, poor nutrition, and alcohol or drug use, among other reasons.
Marissa also revealed that she has had six previous miscarriages. On Twitter she wrote: “I know that one day I’ll be able to have a healthy baby and be the mother I always dreamed of being. No matter how much this has hurt me, I have to continue to keep fighting.”
Zoë Kravitz was told she was too 'urban' to audition for 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Zoë Kravitz's DC debut is long overdue, it seems. Though she's currently making waves as Selina Kyle and her Catwoman alter ego in Matt Reeves's The Batman, the actress says she was passed over for a role in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment in director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Kravitz, who is biracial, tells the Observer she was turned down for an audition because she was considered to be too "urban."
“I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” the star told the U.K. publication of the feedback. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind, or a casting director’s assistant."
She didn't specify which role she'd had her eye on in the 2012 film, which ultimately starred Marion Cotillard, Anne Hathaway and future Ted Lasso actress Juno Temple in a small supporting part. Though Kravitz has gone on to claim the Catwoman role for herself opposite new Bruce Wayne Robert Pattinson, being snubbed because of her race still stings.
"Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn’t able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment," the 33-year-old said.
As an actress herself, mom Lisa Bonet has offered advice to help her daughter deal with rejections within the industry. Bonet and dad Lenny Kravitz, both of whom are also biracial, have also encouraged their daughter to celebrate her individuality.
"They both dealt with being artists who didn’t act or dress or look or sound the way a Black person was supposed to act in terms of what white people specifically were comfortable with," Kravitz told the Observer, adding that her parents were "focused on trying to make sure I understood that despite the color of my skin I should be able to act or dress or do whatever it is I want to do.”
Now the face of YSL Beauté, Kravitz struggled with her looks, and her identity, growing up. Her perspective shifted, she said, when she began to better appreciate what the women in her own family — from her mother dealing with racist abuse girl in the 1970s, to her paternal grandmother, the late Jeffersons actress Roxie Roker, being one-half of the first interracial couple depicted on primetime TV.
“I felt really insecure about my hair, relaxing it, putting chemicals in it, plucking my eyebrows really thin," she shared. "I was uncomfortable with my Blackness. It took me a long time to not only accept it but to love it and want to scream it from the rooftops.”
These days, Kravitz gravitates toward roles that aren't strictly about race, citing her turn as Bonnie on Big Little Lies, which "was originally written for a white person."
"At one point, all the scripts that were being sent were about the first Black woman to make a muffin or something," Kravitz added. "Even though those stories are important to tell, I also want to open things up for myself as an artist.”
Morris Day Calls Out Prince’s Estate for Prohibiting Him from Using ‘the Time’
*Music legend Morris Day claims the Prince estate is prohibiting him from using “Morris Day & the Time” as a band name.
Day has been the group’s frontman for four decades.
“Now that Prince is no longer is with us, suddenly the people who control his multi-million-dollar estate want to rewrite history by taking my name away from me,” Day wrote on Facebook, accusing the estate of “impacting how I feed my family.”
As reported by Star Tribune, representatives of Prince’s estate say Day’s claims in posts Thursday on social media, including Instagram, are “not entirely accurate.”
“Given Prince’s longstanding history with Morris Day and what the Estate thought were amicable discussions, the Prince Estate was surprised and disappointed to see his recent post,” the estate said in a statement Thursday afternoon. “The Estate is open to working proactively with Morris to resolve this matter.”
An attorney for the three Prince siblings was surprised by Day’s claim.
“There was no discussion of this with the heirs,” said L. Londell McMillan, adding: “Comerica is very odd in how they do things.”
According to the report, McMillan once worked with Prince and he currently represents Prince’s sisters Sharon Nelson and Norrine Nelson and the estate of brother John “Johnny” Nelson, who died Sept. 3. McMillan reacted to Day’s claim in a post on Twitter, writing: “I support Morris Day,” adding the hashtag #LetMorrisDayUseName.
Here’s more from Star Tribune:
Prince famously created the Time in 1981, serving as producer and songwriter under the pseudonym Jamie Starr. The group scored a series of R&B hits including “Cool” and “Jungle Love” and was featured prominently in two Prince movies, “Purple Rain” in 1984 and “Graffiti Bridge” in 1990.
Prince retained rights to the band’s name. When its original members, including producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, reunited with Day for the 2011 album “Condensate,” Prince would not let them release it as the Time, so they recorded and performed as the Original 7ven instead. However, the lead singer has continued performing as Morris Day and the Time, a lineup that includes founding drummer Jellybean Johnson.
In his Facebook post, Day noted that he deserves ownership of the name: “I’ve given 40 years of my life to building up a name and legacy that Prince and I came up with. A name that when he was alive, he had no problem with me using. I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into bringing value to that name.”
The singer also pointed out that Prince booked “Morris Day and the Time” many times to perform at Paisley Park.
According to the report, Day said his post “created a storm of response.”
“Everything’s kind of crazy,” when contacted by phone, per the report. “I don’t want to talk about it right now. There will be a time when it’s appropriate to talk.”

Tory Lanez Being Sued For Unpaid Mortgage Payments On His Miami Home
Tory Lanez cannot stay out of trouble. In addition to his shooting charges involving Megan Thee Stallion, Tory is now being sued for unpaid mortgage payments.
According to court documents, Tory is being sued by BH 4908 LLC for foreclosure of his Miami condo. Tory allegedly took a $1.26 million loan from the company to purchase his $1.8 million home.
Tory agreed to make monthly mortgage payments of $11,057.40 and one large balloon payment in December 2021. However, the lawsuit states that Tory didn’t uphold his end of the deal on the monthly payments or the balloon payment.
The rapper now owes a total of $1,237,456.06 for the loan plus interest.
The company claims Tory is still occupying the residence but asks the court to foreclose the home. BH 4908 LLC wants to sell the house and have Tory pay the difference between the amount the home is sold for and the amount he owes.
Tory is still facing criminal charges for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. Megan accuses Tory of shooting her in the foot during an after-party in Hollywood Hills. Since then, the two have exchanged words multiple times, with Tory sticking to his story of not being the shooting suspect.
Ukrainian Woman Fatally Shot Delivering Bags Of Dog Food To Bucha Shelter
A Ukrainian woman was shot and killed on her way home from delivering bags of dog food to a shelter in Bucha, just outside Kyiv.
The shelter that Anastasiia Yalanskaya delivered food to had gone without for three days. She posted a photo to her Instagram Story shortly before her death that showed her sitting in the back of a vehicle, next to bags of dog food.
The car Yalanskaya was riding in was found riddled with bullets near the home of one of the other men with whom she was volunteering. They had delivered the dog food and almost made it back home when all three volunteers were killed.
Her family believes Russian troops gunned her down at close range. Bucha has been aggressively targeted by the Russian military, suffering daily bombings.
“She was one of the best human beings I knew. She was committed to help, to help her friends and relatives and whoever needed help.” her husband, Yevhen Yalanskyi, said.
He added, “She loved animals. We had a dog and a cat. She was the best partner I ever had.”
A friend told Global News that Yalanskaya’s body remains in a morgue in Bucha due to the fighting. No one can get through
