#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey Shows Off Hilarious Fan Artwork

Cynthia Bailey proudly showed off some fan art, sharing some kind words for the wanna-be artist ... even though they're certainly no Rembrandt.

 

The 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star posted a sketch a fan sent her Monday and it's hilarious, though Cynthia's being a lot nicer than the folks commenting on her social media post.

Cynthia says one of her biggest and most supportive fans slid into her DMs asking permission to draw her, to which she said "yes" right away because she was so excited and honored.

 

When Cynthia got the drawing it wasn't what she expected, but she says she still absolutely loves the artwork, noting ... "it is the love & thought that counts."

 

The artist behind the drawing apparently runs a 'RHOA' fan page on Instagram, and Cynthia says the artist didn't think she would like the portrait.

 

Beauty ... it's in the eye of the beholder.

 

 

#MusicNews: Justin Bieber To Perform At Takeoff's Memorial

Thousands of family, friends, and fans will gather to pay their respects to the late Migos rapper during his “Celebration of Life,” which will include a performance from Justin Bieber.

 

The pop superstar will perform a tribute to the 28-year-old MC at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Friday, reports TMZ.

 

It’s unclear what he will perform, but Bieber has collaborated with Migos on songs including “What You See” and “Looking for You.” He also worked with Quavo on hits like “Intentions” and DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One.”

 

It was previously announced that Rev. Jesse Curney, III, Senior Pastor of New Mercies Christian Church, will officiate the services.

 

Free tickets are available only to Georgia residents starting today via Ticketmaster. Fans can secure a maximum of two tickets. Doors open at 11 a.m. and the public memorial will start at noon. No photos or video are allowed inside the venue, and all devices will be checked upon entry.

 

In lieu of flowers or gifts, Takeoff’s family has asked that donations be made to The Rocket Foundation, which supports programs that are saving lives through community-based solutions to prevent gun violence.

 

Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Kari Ball, was killed following a shooting outside a Houston bowling alley on Nov. 1. Police have launched an investigation into his death, but have not named a suspect.

 

In the wake of the tragedy, family and friends honored him with a balloon release over the weekend.



#HipHopNews: DaBaby Responds After Being Roasted Over BOGO Ticket Offer

DaBaby is not here for the jokes. The rapper is once again being roasted over low ticket sales. There was a buy-one, get-one free ticket offer on his show on Nov. 15 at Iron City in Birmingham, Alabama, which is part of his “Baby on Baby 2” tour. General admission tickets cost $22.50, but Eventbrite was offering the BOGO promotion to drive sales.

 

Social media was quick to clown him with jokes and memes. “DaBaby selling his tickets BOGO has got to be the saddest shit ever for a rapper,” tweeted one person. “And it’s crazy cause nobody else hurt his career more than he did. Talk about self sabotage, a lack of situational awareness, and ego.”

 

Amid the criticism, the self-proclaimed “Live Show Killa” shot back at claims that he doesn’t have enough fans to sell out the 1500-capacity venue. He posted a video of himself performing to a packed crowd in Boston, while seemingly addressing the online chatter.

 

“STOP IT,” he wrote alongside the laughing face emoji. “Tell em how we rocking Boston.”

 

DaBaby won’t let his critics get the best of him. He also posted a second video of the energized Boston crowd with the caption, “me & Boston last night AUSTIN, TEXAS this Saturday.”

 

In August, the rapper was set to headline a show at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, but it was reportedly canceled over low ticket sales. His latest album Baby on Baby 2 was a commercial disappointment, debuting at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 with 17,000 units.

 

During an interview with “Ebro in the Morning,” DaBaby claims he lost $100 million following the backlash over his homophobic comments at Rolling Loud in July 2021. In the wake of the controversy, he was dropped from several major festivals including Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, and Day N Vegas.

 

“I’m not into all the conspiracy theories, this and that, until you see it really cost a ni**a $100 million within a year’s span,” he revealed.

 

 

Whitney Houston’s Manager Pat Houston Sold Singer’s Assets To Help Curve Negativity Surrounding Her Legacy

In the spring of 2019, Pat Houston was in her home office in Georgia, going through an archive of mementos left behind by her sister-in-law, Whitney Houston. There were photos, some 25,000 of them, of moments both personal and professional: family vacations; Whitney in the hospital in 1993, after giving birth to her daughter, Bobbi Kristina; a 1996 performance at the Sultan of Brunei’s daughter’s wedding. There were her countless awards and plaques — Grammys, American Music Awards (AMAs), a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction statue, a framed commemoration of selling 200 million albums globally. And there were smaller, more personal things: a gold-plated Social Security card; a treasured book on Audrey Hepburn (Whitney loved old films); a Bible, a gift from her mother, Cissy, that Pat found on a shelf in her own home.

 

“You reminisce, and it takes you back, you know what I’m saying? And it’s bittersweet. Happy moments but sad moments at the same time,” Pat says, sitting in that office in late September. “Just to have those things — which wouldn’t really mean much of anything to other people — it means a great deal to me because I know that they were important to her. Going through archives and finding little things like that, it’s reminiscent of what her spirit was like.”

 

Few artists had the immediate, and lasting, impact that Whitney Houston did when she stormed out of the gate with her 1985 self-­titled debut album. With a voice unparalleled in her, or perhaps anyone’s, time, she became the first artist in history to have seven consecutive singles reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (She ultimately landed 11 career No. 1s.) As a singer-actress, she garnered six Grammys, two Emmys, four No. 1 albums and 22 AMAs, to name just a handful of her accolades. In 2001, she signed a $100 million deal to stay with longtime label Arista Records — at the time, the biggest record deal ever. Her name is still synonymous with iconic vocal performances — the key change and runs in “I Will Always Love You”; the show-stopping “Star-Spangled Banner” from the 1991 Super Bowl. Her success in multiple mediums became a blueprint for success, period, for the generation of budding stars who came after her, hoping to channel that spirit into superstardom of their own.

 

But in the years leading up to and following her death in 2012, Whitney’s image lost its luster. A dysfunctional marriage, the weight of continuous drug use, the pressures of fame and the mercilessness of the media wore her down, her public appearances becoming more erratic than elegant. Her death at age 48 — having drowned in a Los Angeles hotel bathtub several hours before the annual pre-Grammy party thrown by her mentor, Clive Davis — tragically ended a life that had reached unimaginable heights and jarring lows, and left a stunning void.

 

For those who had been in Whitney’s inner circle, the first seven years after her death served as a sort of reflection period. Several wrote books about the Whitney they had known — including Pat; Cissy (twice); longtime confidante Robyn Crawford; Whitney’s ex-husband, Bobby Brown; and Davis — both celebrating her genius and searching for answers as to what went wrong. Multiple documentaries, TV interviews and even a Lifetime series grappled with the same topic. Meanwhile, for the most part, Whitney’s estate and assets languished.

 

But since that spring of 2019, Pat — who managed Whitney’s career following her father’s 2003 death and is now the executor of her estate — has set in motion a string of events that could recenter the narrative surrounding Whitney’s life and career, putting the focus back on The Voice and leaving the tawdry tabloid drama in the past. That May, Pat and music publisher and marketer Primary Wave announced a partnership giving the company a 50% stake in Whitney’s assets — including her publishing, master recording revenue, name, likeness and brand — in a deal that valued the estate at $14 million. Since then, Primary Wave says it has quadrupled the estate’s fortunes — a figure it hopes will only explode further after a series of projects that will begin rolling out this fall, including a perfume line, a MAC Cosmetics partnership, an archival book and a biopic out Dec. 21: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, written by Bohemian Rhapsody’s Anthony McCarten and starring relative newcomer Naomi Ackie.

 

For Primary Wave — whose executives often talk about being in the icons and legends business — it’s the company’s biggest project yet, one that should bolster its reputation for returning superstars like Whitney to the forefront of pop culture and turbo-charging revenue along the way. And for her estate, it’s akin to a rebirth for the legacy almost lost along the way.

 

“With everything that’s going on right now, she’s still touching lives, and that’s what I want to do in a very positive way,” Pat says. “She should be remembered by her music and the work that she’s done in the community, not by her relationships. And the fact that all these things are happening proves that. It’s a clear path without any distractions to make things continue to happen for her legacy.”

 

 

Keke Palmer likes ‘girl-on-girl porn,’ being submissive in the bedroom

Keke Palmer didn’t hold back while discussing her porn preferences and sex life in a new interview.

“I only like girl-on-girl porn because it’s nice and beautiful,” the former Disney Channel star, 29, said in Monday’s episode of the “Whoreible Decisions” podcast.

 

“It’s the delicacy of the arrangement. I don’t like all that rough stuff,” she explained, claiming that “porn has ruined the ideas of sex.”

 

As for her own hookups, Palmer shared that she prefers to play a “submissive” role since she is “already bossy in real time.”

 “I feel like, definitely, when I’m in an intimate space with someone, I’m very much so, like, ‘At your service,'” the “Nope” star confessed.

 

When asked whether she does role play, Palmer confirmed that her acts often “turn into a rom-com” and hilariously shared a high school reunion example.

 

The Emmy winner shared footage from the candid interview via Instagram and reflected on the “fun” experience.

 

“Sex is a fun topic and it’s so awesome to hear other perspectives and how our sexual personality defers or is the same as what your outward personality is,” she wrote. “It was fun sharing a piece of this part of myself.”

While Palmer has often stayed quiet about her relationships over the years, she did go Instagram-official with Darius Jackson in 2021.

 “This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone,” she told Bustle of the fitness guru in March of the following year.

 

“So why would I go out of my way to hide this person?” the KeyTV founder asked. “That’s a lot more work than just living in my life and being in my life.”

Diddy Hires Extra Security For Star-Studded 53rd Birthday Bash Amid Gun Violence Scare

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs goes beyond to make sure his guests are safe at his 53rd birthday party. The "I'll Be Missing You" rapper hired extra security for the star-studded celebration after a previous gun incident and recent hip-hop fatal shootings.

 

Law enforcement sources confirmed to TMZ on Tuesday, November 8 that metal detectors were used to screen guests for the bash which was held on Friday, November 4 at his Los Angeles mansion. A nearby street was shut down and only approved guests were taken to the party via a shuttle bus.

 

The ramped-up security came after an incident this past June when a woman with a loaded firearm was arrested outside of the home at a BET Awards afterparty after flashing the gun at others.

 

The birthday celebration also occurred in the wake of two tragic gun deaths in the hip-hop community, as Migos rapper Takeoff was fatally shot at 28 in Houston earlier this month, while PnB Rock was shot to death at 30 in September in Los Angeles

 

 

Meet Maxwell Alejandro Frost He is Elected as First Gen Z Member of Congress

Florida House candidate Maxwell Alejandro Frost made history Tuesday, becoming the first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress.

The Associated Press projects Frost easily won his race for Florida’s District 10 — which includes Orlando — with early estimates showing he had received nearly 59% of the vote to Republican Calvin Wimbish’s 40%.

 

In a Tweet sent after his race was called, Frost noted “history was made,” writing: “We made history for Floridians, for Gen Z, and for everyone who believes we deserve a better future. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to represent my home in the United States Congress.”

 

Twenty-five-year-old Frost is a Democrat, activist and former Uber driver who was heavily favored to win in the general election after clinching the party’s nomination in a primary in August.

 

Frost spoke of his age as being not an obstacle but an advantage, in politics.

“What we’re finding more and more, our generation is gonna have the most jobs in a lifetime than other times in history,” Frost said at the time. “[Members of Gen Z] move around jobs a lot, we will own the least amount of assets and property, we carry the most personal debt.”

 

Frost campaigned on a platform of meeting challenges affecting his peers, such as gun violence and rising housing costs.

 

“I don’t think young people [on either political side] are interested in different issues — we all want resources, opportunities … we want our friends and people we’ve never met before to enjoy their lives,” he told PEOPLE. “We think about things like, ‘How do we protect each other? How do we build a government that protects the most vulnerable?'”

 

New Hampshire House candidate Karoline Leavitt, a 25-year-old Republican and former Trump White House aide, was another Gen Z candidate who made headlines leading up to the midterms. Leavitt defeated Matt Mowers, a better-funded establishment Republican, in the September GOP primary, securing the nomination by emulating Trump’s political style and more openly aligning with the former president.

 

She faces Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas in the general election, a race that could make her the youngest woman elected to Congress. As of press time, she was not projected to win, though results were still being counted

 

 

Wes Moore makes history as Maryland's first Black governor

According to The Associated Press, Wes Moore has officially been elected governor of Maryland, becoming the first African-American to hold the position in that state. The Democratic author and former nonprofit CEO beat out far-right Republican Dan Cox, who was endorsed by Donald Trump last year. In addition to making history in the Old Line State, Moore is the third Black person to become governor in the United States since the Reconstruction era following Massachusetts’ Deval Patrick and Virginia’s L. Douglas Wilder. His running mate, Aruna Miller, also breaks barriers as the first Indian-American to be elected as Maryland’s lieutenant governor.

 

Taking to the podium in Baltimore last night (Nov. 8), Moore thanked his supporters for the victory while standing firm on promises made during his hard-fought campaign:

 

“At a time when those of you — those of us — who hope to be part of the solution are often told to wait our turn. You believed that in this moment, our state could be bolder, and our state could go faster… It is because of you that I stand here, humbled and ready to become the 63rd governor of the state of Maryland.”

 

Departing Maryland Governor Larry Hogan also acknowledged his successor on social media:

 

“I spoke to Wes Moore and congratulated him on being elected as Maryland’s next governor. There is no higher calling than public service and no greater honor than to serve the people of this great state. Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth and orderly transition to the next administration, and I look forward to meeting with the governor-elect in the coming days.”

 

Moore received a score of notable endorsements during the primary, including from billionaire mogul Oprah Winfrey. She appeared in one of his political ads to provide support:

 

“This moment that we’re in demands [a] different type of leader. For governor in Maryland, you have one in my friend Wes Moore.”..

 

 

Gillie Da King blasts white US Marshal over drug accusations

On Tuesday (Nov. 8), Gillie Da King shared a video of an encounter he had with a U.S. Marshal who accused him of carrying drugs in his luggage. The incident occurred at a Dallas, Texas airport while the rapper turned podcast host was preparing to board an airplane. The caption of the post reads, “[A] plane full of white folks leaving Dallas and the only Black man is [asked] does he have illegal narcotics in his bag. You [picked] the wrong n**ga today, buddy,” he wrote, tagging American Airlines.

 

The 47-second video starts with a visibly agitated Gillie talking to a white man who is noticeably wearing a badge around his neck, “You walk up on me and ask me if I have illegal drugs in my bag. What are you talking about?” Gillie asked. The Marshal replied, “Sir, you searched your own bag.” The musician explained he searched his bag on his own after the officer asked to check it. “No, no, no, no, no,” the Marshal replied. “Don’t lie for the camera.”

 

Gillie picked up his luggage and said, “You walked up on me and picked me out. Get away from me. You picked me out for what? I’m probably the richest person on this plane.” Throughout the video, the unidentified Marshal maintained that the artist went through his own bag and never touched his property. However, before walking away, the man accused Gillie of smelling like weed. “You smell like marijuana, and it’s illegal in Texas.” The rapper scoffed at the accusation and walked out of the camera’s view. Eventually, the U.S. Marshal stopped questioning him and headed in the opposite direction. “You picked the wrong one today,” Gillie said at the end of the video.

Domata played with the Bengals for 11 seasons after being selected in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. His father-in-law owns Joe’s Service Center gas station in Altadena, CA, which sold the ticket.

In September, Domata listed his home in the Cincinnati area for $1.8 million, according to CityBeat.

 

 

Sylvester Stallone Appears to Take Shots at Michael B. Jordan’s ‘Creed III,’ Jordan Stans Rush In to Block the Blows

Action star Sylvester Stallone appears to be lacking faith in the boxing franchise “Creed” after recently calling the third installment of the sports drama film a ‘regretful situation’ for the ‘Rocky’ franchise, which starred himself. “Creed III” stars Primetime Emmy-nominated actor  Michael B. Jordan in what marks his directorial debut.

 

In a recent cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone spoke on not reprising his role as Rocky Balboa in the upcoming movie set to hit theaters in March of next year, sharing, “That’s a regretful situation because I know what it could have been,” before adding. “It was taken in a direction that is quite different than I would’ve taken it.”

 

The legendary actor found breakthrough fame following the release of his 1976 screenplay “Rocky,” which portrayed a Philadelphia boxer. The project was a success earning Stallone an Academy Award for “Best Picture” at the 49th annual event in 1977. The franchise spawned five more films, with the last one released in 2006, titled “Rocky Balboa.”

 

Nine years later, the actor returned to the ring when he reprised his role for the Ryan Coogler-directed movie “Creed” and its sequel “Creed II.” “It’s a different philosophy — [producer] Irwin Winkler’s and Michael B. Jordan’s,” Stallone said of the film. “I wish them well, but I’m much more of a sentimentalist. I like my heroes getting beat up, but I just don’t want them going into that dark space. I just feel people have enough darkness.”

 

Fans were unhappy with the actor’s comments and quickly took to social media to defend Jordan, including one supporter who wrote, “Sounds like Rocky should change his name to Salty… “You can’t make a Rocky sequel just because you want your children to have a job.” – Ironic, as he cast his own son in a sequel.”

 

Another added, “Why would a Rocky fan see Creed if Stallone has no involvement? Did anyone wake up looking to see what Michael B Jordan thought the Rocky franchise could be?”

 

Regarding his exclusion, Stallone seemingly suggested that he was strategically left out, citing a previous incident with Winkler. The actor said that despite his success, he had never received rights to the “Rocky” film, even when he asked Winkler.

 

“I’m not an executive producer on the ‘Creed’ movies,” he shared. “Ryan Coogler is. Michael B. Jordan is. [Winkler and fellow producer Robert Chartoff’s] children are. Not mine. I’m the only one left out.”

 

Jordan has yet to respond to Stallone’s comments.

 

 

Julia Fox Says Acting Prospects Changed After Dating Kanye: ‘I’m Not Getting as Many Offers as I Was Before’

Julia Fox is opening up about how her relationship with Kanye West impacted her acting career.

During an appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s podcast High Low with EmRata, the Uncut Gems alum admitted that her fling with Ye didn’t exactly help her acting prospects.

 

“After the big relationship, I definitely noticed a shift in the acting way, not in a good way,” Fox shared. “I’m not getting as many offers as I was before, weirdly. There’s been a lot of weird drawbacks with reaching that level of notoriety.”

 

Though she understands that some executives in Hollywood may see her as a “liability” or “tabloid type person” due to her relationship with West, 32-year-old Fox maintained that “I just have to trust the process.”

 

“It’s fine, I’m so busy,” Fox added. “I think things come to you at the right time, so that’s why I’m really not stressing. I really don’t care.”

Granted, Fox’s comments contradict what she previously has said about her relationship with Ye.

 

While attending the world New York premiere of The Batman in March, Fox reflected fondly on her time with Kanye when asked if she had any regrets about their romance.

“It was the best thing that could have happened to me,” Fox told Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith. Julia added that dating Kanye was “like hitting a reset button,” because it “brought a spark back into my life that I had kind of forgotten about.”

 

 

Johnny Depp walks in Rihanna's 'Savage X Fenty' show, his 1st high-profile appearance since trial

Johnny Depp has yet to land a major Hollywood role since his victory in court earlier this year, but he did score a big endorsement in the industry. Rihanna enlisted the Pirates of the Caribbean star to walk in her highly anticipated fashion show Savage X Fenty Vol. 4. The actor's cameo is similar to Cindy Crawford's buzzy appearance in the 2021 Savage X Fenty showcase — just not as controversial.

 

Depp's appearance came halfway through the star-studded event, which just dropped on Prime Video. Draped in one of Rihanna's latest Savage X Fenty loungewear styles, the actor struts to OutKast's "So Fresh, So Clean." He gives the camera a few smiles, surely knowing this casting is a big deal. After all, having Rihanna on his side — one of the biggest stars on the planet just tapped for the Super Bowl halftime show — is a big deal.

 

News of Depp's appearance leaked last week and was met with some backlash. The Hollywood Vampires rocker, 59, is still a divisive figure in the entertainment industry, despite winning his defamation case against Amber Heard. Actor Olly Alexander, who collaborated with Savage X Fenty in a social media campaign earlier this year, declared that he "won't be wearing" the brand any longer. Others followed suit with some fans hopeful he wouldn't make the final cut.

Of course, Depp fans were ecstatic at news of the actor's inclusion. This fashion show is the most high-profile appearance to date for the actor since this year's trial.

 

Heard publicly accused Depp of physical and sexual abuse throughout their five-year relationship; however, a Virginia jury determined he never abused her, even once, with their verdict. The decision contradicted a 2020 ruling in London when a judge ruled it's "substantially true" that Depp abused his ex-wife. In June, Heard won one of her three counts with the jury finding that she was defamed via Depp's lawyer. Both Heard and Depp have appealed the decision for different reasons.

 

Rihanna is far from the lone celebrity backing Depp. Kate Moss supported her ex-boyfriend, even testifying at trial. Winona Ryder also spoke out in defense of her former fiancΓ©. Although likes are not necessarily endorsements, a slew of stars hearted Depp's Instagram statement after he was awarded more than $10 million in damages. Jennifer Aniston, Jason Momoa and Zoe Saldana were among the celebrities to double tap the post.

 

 

John Fetterman Defeats Dr. Oz in Critical Pennsylvania Senate Race, Huge Win for Democrats

Democrat John Fetterman has won the Pennsylvania Senate race over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and flipped a Senate seat blue, according to several news network projections — months after suffering a stroke amid one of the most hotly contested campaigns in the country.

 

"It's official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania," Fetterman tweeted early Wednesday morning. "We bet on the people of Pennsylvania — and you didn't let us down. And I won't let you down. Thank you."

 

Oz gained sudden momentum in recent weeks, with some polls calling him the frontrunner in a race that would prove key to determining which political party takes control of the U.S. Senate. Their face-off ultimately became the most expensive Senate race in the nation.

But Lt. Gov. Fetterman, 53, was leading Oz, 62, early in the race, often taking to social media to call out the former television personality for gaffes, including a widely shared shopping trip for "cruditΓ©s."

 

In those early days, the larger theme of the Fetterman vs. Oz rivalry was that one — the Democrat — was a Pennsylvanian through and through, and one — the Republican — was an out-of-touch transplant.

But a stroke Fetterman suffered just before the Democratic primary in May made some voters nervous as time went on.

 

Fetterman won the primary handily, and his doctor later revealed he has atrial fibrillation, which caused the stroke, and cardiomyopathy, which led to him undergo a procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. Fetterman returned to the campaign trail in August, saying in an emotional speech he felt "better than I have in years."

 

But his stroke remained in the headlines, particularly as the Oz campaign seized on the health issue, even mocking it at times.

Oz and Fetterman participated in one debate, clashing on an array of issues including abortion, a decision the Republican said should be left to "women, doctors [and] local political leaders." Fetterman, meanwhile, said his campaign "would fight for Roe v. Wade."

 

But most of the coverage of the debate hinged on Fetterman's performance in the wake of his stroke, which required that he use closed-captioning monitors to display moderators' questions and the candidates' answers.

 

Oz announced his campaign last November, penning an op-ed for The Washington Examiner in which he wrote that he wanted "to help fix the problems and to help us heal."

 

The choice to launch a political campaign in Pennsylvania raised questions, as Oz previously lived in and filmed his eponymous daytime talk show in New Jersey. He only began voting in Pennsylvania's elections via absentee ballot in 2021, and his Pennsylvania registration is tied to an address owned by his in-laws, the AP reported.

 

Still, he received the backing of the Republican Party following a tight primary that ended in a recount and also received high-profile endorsements, including that of former President Donald Trump.

 

In his April endorsement, Trump, then 75, said he had "known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected and smart."

 

"Harvard-educated, tremendous, tremendous career and they liked him for a long time. That's like a poll," Trump told the crowd at a North Carolina rally, The Washington Post reports. "You know, when you're in television for 18 years, that's like a poll. That means people like you."

 

 

White Kentucky Student Who Used Racial Slurs and Attacked Black Student Withdraws From School

The white University of Kentucky student who went viral for physically and verbally assaulting a Black student will withdraw from the school.

 

Sophia Rosing is expected to leave the university no later than this week after she was captured on camera violently hitting and spewing racial slurs at freshman Kylah Spring, who was working the front desk of a campus dorm Sunday morning.  Rosing, who is a senior, appeared drunk and repeatedly struck Spring while calling her the N-word several times.  Spring practiced a commendable amount of restraint as she pleaded with Rosing to stop and tried holding her wrists to prevent further attacks. 

 

The assault began after Spring, and another student tried helping Rosing, who was stumbling.  Rosing was arrested shortly after 4:00 a.m. Sunday and charged with public intoxication, third-degree assault on a police officer, fourth-degree assault, and second-degree disorderly conduct.  She reportedly told the arresting officer that she has “lots of money” and is “privileged” before kicking the back of his seat in the patrol car and biting his hand.

 

On Tuesday, her attorney Fred Peters confirmed that the “very embarrassed and humiliated young lady” will leave the school and receive treatment to “help her through this situation.”

 

Even if she had not withdrawn from college, Rosing would have likely been booted from the campus, given that a conduct review was underway.  UK president Eli Capilouto condemned her actions and praised Strong for the way she handled the racist woman.

 

In addition to being without an educational home during her senior year, Rosing was also fired from her job at a local Dillard’s store after the video was shared on TikTok and quickly spread across social media platforms.

 

Rosing was released on a $10,000 cash bond Monday night.  Her next court date is scheduled for November 15th.
