#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Served With Legal Papers Outside Her $1.8 Million ATL Condo Over Alleged $1k Debt
Ex-Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes has been hit with legal papers by a Georgia photographer who claimed she was stiffed after she worked at the reality star’s club, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the company Photography By Ace, LLC filed a statement of claim against NeNe (real name: Linnethia Leakes) and her business, The Linnethia Lounge, in Gwinnett County Court.
In the legal paperwork, Photography by Ace said NeNe and her club had invoiced — along with sent reminders — in an attempt to collect payment for work done.
The company said it had contacted the defendants on multiple occasions via email requesting payment to be made. Photography by Ace said NeNe has been refusing payment and “no longer is communicating on this matter.”
The company said NeNe claimed the photographer had never worked for her or her lounge and that she has never paid me in the past for my services. The photographer wrote in her filing, “I have complete invoices that show otherwise.”
The photographer attached two invoices that were addressed to NeNe. The first invoice was for $500 and listed work done on October 30 and 31, 2021 for a brunch and a Falcons Halloween party.
The second invoice was for work done on November 12 and 13, 2021. The total was $500.
The case was filed on July 7 and NeNe was served with the legal documents days later. The process server said they waited for the ex-Bravo star when she returned home to her $1.8 million condo — which she purchased two months after her husband Gregg’s death.
The server said they approached NeNe as she exited her Blue 2020 Rolls Royce. “I delivered the documents to Linnethia Leakes with identity confirmed by subject saying yes when named. The individual accepted service with direct delivery.”
Weeks before the lawsuit was filed, the photographer posted two photos of NeNe with her new boyfriend Nyonisela Sioh at the lounge.
The photographer also posted a photo with Nene inside the lounge on September 25, 2021. It appears that NeNe thought she was taking a photo with a fan with the caption reading, “Closing out my birthday on a high note. Thank you @neneleakes for this amazing photo. You ROCK!!!!”
The lawsuit comes as NeNe dismissed her lawsuit against Bravo and Andy Cohen over discrimination from federal court. All signs point to the case being moved to arbitration — where the parties will fight privately.

#HipHopNews: 17-Year-Old Suspect Arrested In PnB Rock Murder
Two weeks after PnB Rock’s murder, a suspect has been arrested. On early Tuesday, a 17-year-old man was taken into custody in connection with the shooting of the rapper inside a Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles.
A second person, believed to be the teenager’s father, Freddie Lee Trone, is still wanted. According to TMZ, father and son acted together. The son was the shooter and Freddie drove the getaway car.
The duo was already in parking lot of Roscoe’s when PnB arrived, which may discredit a theory that the attack was prompted from a social media post from his girlfriend. After the murder, the suspects reportedly burned the getaway vehicle.
Efforts to arrest the father were unsuccessful. Earlier today, the LAPD named him as a “person involved” in the murder and released a photo. Trone, who is longtime member of a South L.A. street gang, is considered “armed and dangerous.”
The son was arrested near Gardena on Tuesday morning, law enforcement sources tell NBC LA.
PnB Rock was shot to death while he was dining with his girlfriend at Roscoe’s on Sept. 12. A struggled ensued and the rapper was shot several times. The killer fled with several gold and diamond chains.
Feds Arrest Two Suspects In Bishop Lamor Whitehead Church Robbery
Two men connected to the on-camera burglary of Brooklyn pastor, Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead, have been arrested early on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
The suspects were both Black men and 23 years old and will allegedly face federal robbery charges for his attack on the preacher during Sunday service at the Brooklyn branch of the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry on Remsen Ave. near Avenue D at about 11:15 a.m. on July 24.
The Department of Justice released a statement regarding the arrest. It read, “Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging Juwan Anderson and Say-Quan Pollack for their roles in an armed robbery at a church in Brooklyn (the “Church”) on July 24, 2022. The defendants were arrested today and will be arraigned this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes, Jr. A third defendant remains at large.”
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said, “As alleged, the defendants brought guns into a place of worship, stealing from two members of the clergy, and terrifying the congregation in the process.”
Adding, “I commend the Special Agents and Detectives for their outstanding efforts in identifying the perpetrators who committed a crime that shocks the conscience for its brazenness. This Office will always work with our law enforcement partners to protect our houses of worship, prosecute those who engage in gun violence and ensure the safety of all members of our community.”
“The indictment unsealed today affirms the NYPD’s unwavering commitment to working collaboratively, across several law enforcement agencies, to focus on those few individuals charged with wreaking violence in our city,” said Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell.
Sewell continued, “I commend the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, the New York Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and all of our NYPD officers and detectives who have investigated this important case and removed these defendants from our streets.”
“Armed robbery is an intolerable crime, but to commit such an act during a religious service is incomprehensible,” ATF Special Agent-in-Charge DeVito stated. “The men and women of ATF stand side by side with all of our partners to identify, investigate and apprehend those that commit such brazen acts of violence within our communities. These arrests are due to the excellent investigative work by ATF/NYPD’s Strategic Pattern Armed Robbery Technical Apprehension (SPARTA) Group. I would like to thank the United States Attorney’s Office for their work in prosecuting this case.”
According to a press release submitted by Whitehead’s publicist, the pastor “was notified by
team members of the NYPD and the ATF robbery task force that two suspects have been taken into custody.”
An arraignment is scheduled for the two men this Wednesday at 2 p.m. (EST) at the United States District Court for the New York Eastern District (Brooklyn Federal Courthouse) located at 225 East Cadman Plaza Brooklyn, NY 11201.
Whitehead, who was arrested recently for choking a Black woman during one of his church services, commended law enforcement for their work in bringing justice to the case.
“Today is the start of healing. We will let the justice system continue to work as I continue to do what God has called me to do,” he said in the statement. “I would like to thank my supporters and hope those that did not believe in my innocence will understand that I along with my family and church are the victims and not the villains.”
In this case, where he is clearly the victim, no one is questioning his innocence. However, he may be referring to the aforementioned assault on a Black woman (captured on film) or the allegations that in November of 2020, Pauline Anderson, a woman from his church, gave him her life savings to help her buy a house and fix her credit.
She alleged and has submitted screenshots of text messages as evidence, that he took her money and did not fulfill his promise to her.
As reported, in a lawsuit filed in 2021 in the Brooklyn Supreme Court, her lawyers wrote, “Mr. Whitehead fraudulently induced Ms. Anderson to liquidate her entire life savings to pay him the ‘investment’ of $90,000.00, promising to use the funds to purchase and renovate a house for her.“
“Ms. Anderson was instead left with nothing but a vague promise by Mr. Whitehead to pay the funds back in the future followed by an assertion that he had no further obligation to do so,” the filing alleged.
This ongoing lawsuit has nothing to do with his robbery.
Judge rejects Bill Cosby's request for a new trial in sexual assault case
Bill Cosby has failed in his effort to get a new trial after a jury found he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl.
A judge on Tuesday denied the disgraced comedian a new trial in the civil case brought by Judy Huth, according to Variety. In June, a California jury found Cosby sexually assaulted Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1975, when she was 16 years old. She has said Cosby was aware she was underage. Cosby wasn't facing criminal charges, as this was a civil case, but the jury awarded Huth $500,000 in damages.
Cosby has denied Huth's allegations. In pushing for a new trial, his attorneys pointed to the fact that Huth adjusted the timeline of the alleged assault. But the judge ruled that Cosby "failed to establish he received an unfair trial or that insufficient evidence existed to establish his liability for plaintiff's harm," Rolling Stone reports.
The civil trial came after Cosby was previously convicted of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, only to be freed from prison after a court overturned his conviction.
Cosby's spokesperson, Andrew Wyatt, told Variety that "we have always stood the ground by saying, 'this was a trial by assassination against Mr. Cosby,'" while Huth's attorney, Gloria Allred, said, "Once again we won and Bill Cosby lost," she said. "We believe that Mr. Cosby must be bitterly disappointed with the outcome, but that won't change the judge's decision."
White Music Exec Anthony Martini Involved With A.I. Rapper FN Meka Repeatedly Used N-Word in Old Lyrics
Anthony Martini seems to have put his foot in his mouth. The music executive made headlines this year for his defense of FN Meka, an A.I.-generated rapper that was backed by Martini’s New Factory project. The digital artist would go on to land a deal with Capitol Records, but was quickly dropped by the label following outrage over Meka’s use of racial slurs and stereotypes.
Martini defended the project in a statement to the New York Times this month, questioning why people didn’t have the same criticism for lyrics written by real-life rappers.
“If you’re mad about the lyrical content because it supposedly was A.I.,” he said, “why not be mad about the lyrical content in general?”
As pointed out by Rolling Stone, Martini—who is white—has a history of using the n-word in his music. Before working for companies like Royalty Exchange and Crush Management, the 43-year-old fronted the New Jersey hardcore band E.Town Concrete. The group released four albums in the late 1990s and early aughts, including ’97’s Time 2 Shine.
According to the magazine, the project’s “4 the Fame” cut featured Martini using the n-word in the opening line, as he raps, “It gave me chills the first time that I saw that n***a since he shot LaGhram.” The slur is used several more times in the track, and is also uttered on songs like “One Life to Live,” “Hold Up,” “End of the Rainbow,” and “Justwatchastep.”
“H2O my fucking god, come so fuckin’ deep, deep space nine up out this piece,” he raps on the latter track. “Puttin’ n***as to sleep like Simmons Beauty, rest in peace/Come complete, bring it in, taste the concrete.”
Martini also used the n-word throughout the group’s 1999 sophomore album, The Second Coming. The slur is featured in a handful of titles, including “First Born,” “Dirty Jer-Z,” “Shaydee,” and “Guaranteed.” Martini, who is credited as a co-writer on Spotify, apparently stopped using the n-word in E.Town Concrete’s subsequent projects.
Rolling Stone reports Anthony Martini and the band have continued to perform over the last decade, but have been inconsistent when censoring the n-word. The outlet points out Martini hadn’t used the slur while performing in Long Beach earlier this month, but was filmed using it during several gigs in 2015, 2016, and 2018.
Martini cut ties with FN Meka and New Factory earlier this year. He has yet to publicly comment on the Rolling Stone report.
Kanye West Hires Melinda Gates’ Lawyer for Kim Kardashian Divorce
Kanye West has found his fifth divorce lawyer to handle the dissolution of his marriage to Kim Kardashian.
This time, he’s seeking the help of Melinda Gates’ former attorney Robert Stephan Cohen.
A rep for the senior partner at Cohen Clair Lans Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP confirmed to Page Six on Wednesday that West recently retained him as counsel for the rapper’s divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Since Cohen is based in New York, TMZ reported that West, 45, has also hired attorney Nicholas A. Salick in California, where the case is being tried.
In a 2021 Insider profile, Cohen, 83, spoke about his process in dealing with celebrity divorces, including pulling financial statements, reviewing the details of his client’s assets and conducting a 90-minute intro interview about “the psychology of how to deal with the divorce.”
The attorney said of what he does for a living, “There’s the bad part, the destruction of a marriage. But the other side of this is we start people out and we give them a new life.”
Robert Stephan Cohen has represented many high-profile clients, including Melinda Gates, Chris Rock and Michael Bloomberg.
Cohenclairlans.com
Chris Rock, who hired Cohen to represent him in his divorce from his wife of 20 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, told the site that his lawyer’s calm presence helped him through a “very tough time” in his life.
“Divorce lawyers are like doctors in a weird way,” the comedian, 57, said. “They need to have a good bedside manner. And Bob has a very good, soothing manner. Gets you through, lets you see the big picture. He explains the realities of the situation.”
In one of his most high-profile cases, Cohen helped Gates, 58, walk away from her divorce from Bill Gates with an estimated settlement of about $76 billion.
Cohen is West’s fifth attorney in this divorce case, as the billionaire entertainer has had a revolving door of lawyers represent him over the past year and a half.
In March, the Yeezy founder fired attorney Chris Melcher just ahead of a pre-scheduled court hearing.
Sources told TMZ at the time that West let go of the lawyer because their relationship “had become extremely difficult, with little communication.”
The father of four then retained Samantha Spector, but she decided to remove herself from the case just two months later in May.
No exact details about her departure were disclosed, but Spector listed “an irreconcilable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship” as the cause.
Michelle Pfeiffer reveals that she's "heartbroken" following Coolio's passing
Yesterday (Sept. 28), the world learned that hip hop legend Coolio passed away at the age of 59, which led to an outpouring of condolences and tributes from longtime fans and fellow entertainment peers. One of the many to pay respects was decorated actress Michelle Pfeiffer, who starred in the rapper’s music video for the iconic single “Gangsta’s Paradise.” In addition to serving as the title track for Coolio’s sophomore LP, “Gangsta’s Paradise” was also featured in Pfeiffer’s film Dangerous Minds. Taking to Instagram, Pfeiffer opened up about the aforementioned clip, as well as how the classic song still affects her today:
“Heartbroken to hear of the passing of the gifted artist [Coolio]. A life cut entirely too short. As some of you may know I was lucky enough to work with him on Dangerous Minds in 1995. He won a Grammy for his brilliant song on the soundtrack — which I think was the reason our film saw so much success. I remember him being nothing but gracious. 30 years later I still get chills when I hear the song. Sending love and light to his family. Rest in Power, Artis Leon Ivey Jr.”
Coolio first broke out on the scene as a member of WC and the Maad Circle, contributing heavily to the group’s 1991 debut Ain’t a D**n Thang Changed. Since then, he’s released eight albums across two decades, along with memorable singles like “Fantastic Voyage,” “Too Hot,” “1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New),” “It’s All the Way Live (Now)” with Lakeside, “C U When U Get There,” and “Gangsta Walk” with Snoop Dogg and Gangsta-Lu. Coolio’s musical achievements include creating the Kenan & Kel theme song “Aw, Here It Goes!” and his inclusion on the Space Jam standout “Hit ‘Em High (The Monstars’ Anthem)” alongside B-Real, Method Man, LL Cool J, and Busta Rhymes.
Lizzo becomes the first to play James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute
While performing at her show at Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C. Tuesday (Sept. 27) night, Lizzo made history by playing a 200-year-old flute that once belonged to President James Madison. The 34-year-old singer, who is known for being a talented flautist, became the “first and only” person to play the crystal flute.
Lizzo shared her excitement with her followers on her social media account. “The Library of Congress let me play their historic [200-year-old] crystal flute on stage tonight — No one has ever heard what it sounds like…Now you do. @librarycongress,” the singer wrote on Instagram. She then added in another post, “[I’m] the first [and] only person to play this presidential crystal flute. [It’s] literally an heirloom — like… as a flute player this is iconic and I will never be over it.”
The historic moment came several days after the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden tweeted an invitation to have Lizzo stop by the library which is nation’s oldest cultural institution, the research arm of Congress and home of the largest flute collection in the world. “Lizzo, we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in [D.C.] next week. Like your song they are ‘Good as hell,’” she wrote, quoting Lizzo’s hit single “Good As Hell.”
Lizzo retweeted the librarian and accepted an offer to see the collection: “[I’m] coming Carla! And I’m [playing] that crystal flute!!!!!” she tweeted.
During her show, Lizzo spoke about her exciting experience visiting the Library of Congress on Monday (Sept. 26), saying that they let her play so many beautiful flutes that were archived and old. “Make some noise for James Madison’s crystal flute y’all. We got the Capitol police and the secret service and everybody in this b**ch,” she said after doing her signature flute-playing while twerking routine.
The flute was gifted to Madison in the early 1800s by a French flute designer to celebrate his second inauguration.
The “About Damn Time” singer’s show in Washington, D.C. was the third stop of her “Special Tour,” which features Latto, and set to end in November at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.
Netflix Removes LGBTQ Tag From ‘Dahmer’ After Backlash From Viewers: ‘Not The Representation We’re Looking For’
Netflix has removed the LGBTQ tag from its Ryan Murphy-created Jeffrey Dahmer limited series, “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” The show, starring Evan Peters as the notorious serial killer, launched Sept. 21 on the streaming platform and was categorized under the LGBTQ tag for at least two days. A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Variety the LGBTQ tag was officially removed by Friday, Sept. 23.
The decision to categorize “Dahmer” as LGBTQ content ignited controversy on social media, with many subscribers condemning Netflix for the decision (via the Los Angeles Times). The tag is normally used to spotlight shows such as “Heartstopper” and “Sex Education,” both of which include LGBTQ characters and subject matter in a positive light. “Dahmer” technically does feature an LGBTQ character since the serial killer was a gay man, but as one subscriber wrote on TikTok, “This is not the representation we’re looking for.”
“Netflix, I implore you to please reconsider having Dahmer with the LGBTQ tag, especially as one of its tags right when you open the app,” another subscriber wrote on Twitter.
All television series and films on Netflix are sorted into categories to help drive the streaming platform’s search algorithm. “Dahmer,” for instance, was initially categorized as “LGBTQ” in addition to “ominous,” “psychological,” “horror,” “vintage crime” and “dark.”
Since launching Sept. 21, “Dahmer” has been a ratings hit for Netflix with 196.2 million hours viewers in its first week. Reviews have been less kind. Variety television critic Caroline Framke panned the series for being “predictable,” adding, “It’s a grim, sepia-toned slog that rarely justifies its own existence.”
The tag removal is far from the only controversy that “Dahmer” has courted since its debut. Real-life family members of Dahmer’s victims have condemned the series, with Rita Isbell, the sister of Errol Lindsey, telling Insider, “It’s sad that they’re just making money off of this tragedy. That’s just greed.”
Netflix did not respond to Variety’s multiple requests for an official statement on the matter. “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” is now available to stream.
Kevin Hart Says 'the World Should Step Out of' Will Smith and Chris Rock Beef: 'Let Them Recover'
Kevin Hart thinks everyone should stay out of the situation between Will Smith and Chris Rock.
On the latest episode of the Drink Champs podcast, Hart, 43, addressed where Smith and Rock stand after the March 27 Oscars incident, saying it's between them, not outside parties.
"People make mistakes, and from mistakes they should be allowed time to f---in' recover," the actor/comedian said. "And that this is no longer the world's problem — it's Will and Chris's problem. Let them deal with that. The world should step out of it and let them recover."
He later added, "Let Will recover from it. Let Chris get back to work as normal. Let two men be men and figure that out if they choose to. If they do, they do. If they don't, they don't."
Hart also said that Smith, 54, is a "legend" who paved the way for more movie stars to be given chances in Hollywood, adding that no one can take that legacy away from him.
"Will Smith is the reason why the idea of African Americans attached to global IP is normal. Studios took the gamble on more leads of color because of the work that Will Smith, Denzel [Washington] were doing in the beginning, right? You need the faces that are giving the universal return. So I'm not gonna s--- on Will and act like he hasn't been and wasn't that guy."
In July, Hart told Entertainment Tonight that Smith was working on himself after the incident: "Will is apologetic, you know. He's in a better space, of course, than what he was after. People are human, and as humans sometimes we make mistakes. So it's not about talking about the past, it's about acknowledging the present and doing your best to move forward."
Hart said at the time that he's still friends with both Smith and Rock, adding that he hoped they can make amends.
"I can only hope that the two of them find a way to find some solace in that and move past it. I just like good energy. I love to see people be the best. I still love him; I still love Chris. You can't judge a person by one thing. Ultimately, life goes on and people grow, so give him the opportunity to do so."
At the Oscars, before his win for Best Actor, Smith walked onstage and hit Rock on live television after taking issue with a joke made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The joke was about Jada's shaved head; she lives with alopecia, and Will explained in a statement days later that the punchline was "too much for me to bear" and he "reacted emotionally."
Smith later resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and was banned from attending its ceremonies for the next 10 years.
Jada, 51, addressed the incident on an episode of her Red Table Talk show, saying, "About Oscar night: My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. With the state of the world today, we need 'em both, and we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years — and that's [to] keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening."
In a video apology shared earlier this summer, Smith said he has reached out to Rock about speaking about the incident. He said, "I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."
Da Baby Claims He’s Blackballed After His Debut Album Sold 124K First Week And Now His Newest Project Is Reportedly On Pace To Sell Less Than 20K
Looks like Da Baby is unbothered by his first week’s sales of his new project after the rapper took to his IG story claiming he’s blackballed.
Earlier today, a DaBaby Instagram fan page named DaBaby2Baby reported that the rapper’s new album “Baby On Baby 2” is on pace to sell 16,500 units in its first week out. After the news started to surface on the internet DaBaby shared the post and he appeared to be satisfied with the numbers.
“Not bad for da blackballed Baby,” he wrote on the post along with a flex emoji. Since the release of his newest album Baby has had an interesting week. The night he dropped his album fans noticed the third song on the project titled, “boogeyman” he rapped about Megan Thee Stallion.
In the beginning of the song he said alleged that he use to have sex with the female rapper multiple times. In the verse he claims he had sex with her the day before rapper Tory Lanez allegedly shot her. The internet quickly caught on to the news and its surfaced everywhere. Later in the week after fans continued to talk about it, Da Baby took It a step further and dropped a music video with a Megan Thee Stallion look-a-like. Despite the hype around that song it is now being reported that the rapper might’ve only raked in 16k album sells in the opening week.
Da Baby has also had himself in other news this week, as we previously reported, his baby mother Danileigh was on a episode of Wildn Out recently and close source shared that DaniLeigh demanded producers to pull B. Simone from her episode all because she [allegedly] assumed the comedian slept with her baby daddy, DaBaby. Now, B. Simone has been a long-standing cast member of the MTV hit series with six seasons to her name. Despite all of that, Dani was adamant about her demands and so producers had B sit out as they filmed.
To keep you all up to speed, B. Simone had been a huge fan of DaBaby even before he started publicly dating the singer. In 2019, B. Simone dressed as a bride and brought out a cut-out board picture of DaBaby to a Halloween party. Back in March 2020, she even took a handsy photo with the rapper and sparked heavy dating rumors. However, she eventually told fans it was just a marketing move to help promote his song, “Find My Way,” in which she starred in.

Tokyo Toni Slams Transgender Women: ‘That’s Some Crossbred A*s Weird Sh*t’
*Tokyo Toni, the mother of Blac Chyna, took to social media recently to call out transgender women and schooled them on why they are to treat biological women.
“Cross-sex hormones!” said Tokyo Toni in the clip, as reported by Vlad TV. “Giving kids hormones and turning them into some and turning them into f*ggots. That’s why home training is everything…”
She went on to note her disapproval of trans activists that support the mutilation of children’s genitals under the guise of “gender dysphoria”.
“That’s some crossbred a*s weird sh*t…Damn! And these parents let they kids get raised by Google and don’t talk to them and don’t tell them nothing. Nothing! And they just wing it and think it’s the right sh*t…[Because] the mother’s hang with f*ggots…[For example, some mothers say things like] ‘So my son want to be a f*ggot now, so I’ll go ahead and let him get his d*ck cut off,’ until then he gon stick it up his a*s and hide it and sh*t…”
Someone in the passenger seat chimes and notes that transgender people are popular in modern society due to the lack of a real man in the homes they were raised in.
“Yes! They get rid of the man out of the house so this f*ggot sh*t can go on, cause a real n*gga ain’t gonna have that sh*t,” Tokyo Toni responded.
“If your f*cking son or daughter is a transgender b*tch, you ain’t teach them nothing…they supposed to hide that sh*t…like they was hiding that ‘coming out that closet’ sh*t…I don’t like no transgenders f*ck them motherf*ckas…get your f*cking a*s away from me. Don’t like you! Ain’t never gon like you. No, you trying to be me b*tch and you a f*cking n*gga with a big a*s d*ck and need to get punched in your mothaf*cing face and f*cked up your a*s if you go to jail somewhere b*tch,” she continued.

Meanwhile, popular transgender influencer Sydney Starr reacted to the video in the comments of Hollywood Unlock’s report on Instagram. Starr wrote, “Wow but when I met her she told me she loved me 😂😂 ! I don’t get it !!!!! Just wow!!!!!!!! And Im a well known transgender female.. she was so nice to me smh 🤦♀️ ion like her nomo!”
Openly gay media personality Miss Lawrence added, “This sister is very broken and damaged spiritually, mentally, and physically.”
Vanessa Williams’ Miss America Scandal Turned Into Limited Series
*Vanessa Williams was stripped of her Miss America crown in 1984 after Penthouse published nude photos of her without her permission. Now the scandal is set to be unpacked in a forthcoming series for Sony TV.
“This project is incredibly personal to me,” Williams told Deadline. “There are so many inaccurate and untrue accounts of the events surrounding this period in my life, and as a mother, and as a Black woman, it is important to me that my truth be told and be documented from my perspective.
She continued, “This is not just a story about racy photos, it is about misogyny and racism and I want to shine a light on that for future generations. I was not only able to survive what could have been a career-ending scandal, but rose above it and have achieved a body of work I am extremely proud of.”
Williams became the first Black woman to win the crown in 1983 but when Penthouse Magazine published unauthorized nude photos of her, she was forced to resign her title. In 2016, the executive chairman of the Miss America pageant issued a public apology to the Hollywood veteran.
Williams previously noted that the Black community was her harshest critic after she was crowned Miss America. Speaking on A&E’s The Table is Ours podcast, she said: “I was not seen as a 20-year-old, who is a junior in college. I was seen as a symbol but also seen as a Black woman, and also seen as someone who was supposed to represent the American beauty. And there are a lot of folks that did not believe that having brown skin and being a Black woman represented the Miss America ideal,” she said.
“I had death threats. I had sharpshooters when I did my homecoming parade. There were sharpshooters on the top of roofs of my hometown, just because of the threat, the threats that were, you know, against me because of who I was,” she explained.
Williams noted that some of the threats came from “my own people.”
Unreleased Air Jordans Paying Tribute to Donda West Now Up for Auction
An extremely rare pair of Air Jordans designed by Kanye West is being auctioned off.
Before his lucrative deal with Adidas that propelled his Yeezy brand, Ye’s partnership with Nike launched some of the most sought-after sneakers that are not exactly easy to find these days. One of the rarest gems is the Air Jordan 6 “Donda West,” which pays tribute to Kanye’s late mother, who passed away in 2007.
The beautifully crafted shoe features lyrics from West’s record “Roses” and his mother’s name scrolled on the sock liner. Lasered roses adorn the toe box and upper panels, while the heel and tongue are finished with embroidered roses.
It is estimated that only four to six pairs of these Jordans exist, and now, one will be auctioned off via Christie’s. The online platform offers and sells rare goods, ranging from art to fashion. The size 12 Air Jordan 6 “Donda West” sneakers will likely go to an incredibly high bidder, with the current asking price only available by request.
The one-of-a-kind Air Jordans were never released to the public. The Jordan Brand presented them to Ye and several close loved ones as a token of condolence at the time of Donda West’s death.
With Ye’s relationship with Adidas turning sour, many fans have expressed being in favor of the “Jesus Walks” mogul returning to Nike. Only time will tell. For now, the finest of sneakerheads are encouraged to try their luck with the “Donda West” 6’s.
