#RHOP Reunion Recap: Mia Admits Boyfriend Inc Thinks Jeremiah is His Son, Candiace Slams Gizelle for Slander About Chris, Plus Robyn is Grilled Over Juan
For this Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, Andy is hopeful that the ladies can set a path to move forward… but let’s be real. As relationships are analyzed and discussed ad nauseam, it seems unlikely for friendships that once were to be revitalized. Plus, Ms. First-Seat-on-the-Couch Mia gets questioned about her new boo and her marriage to Gordon.
As Andy greets each of the women, we learn that Mia is STILL married, but she is publicly linked with her man, Inc. Candiace is still holding off on being a mom since she’s got a mission to make some new music. Ashley claims to have some movement in the divorce direction… and Mia chimes in that she will be divorced before Ashley. LOL.
Andy really wants the ladies to hash things out, and he feels like all the women are better together. Even he admits that the show was frustrating to watch as a fan this season. They all agree that they want to see some ownership amongst the group, but it seems like the only thing these ladies can agree on and bond over is sex. We get a montage of just how many times these women mention sex, and Mia shares that she has taken Robyn’s swallowing advice with her radio personality boyfriend (who is NOT a DJ… don’t get it twisted).
The first to get highlighted is Robyn. Her relationship has been a hot-button issue throughout the season, as the ladies tend to focus on all of Juan’s shadiness. Robyn says that she “can’t say anything for certain” regarding Juan and the cheating allegations, but she believes what Juan is telling her. I don’t think any of the ladies believe his story, but they choose to rally around Robyn.
Juan has decided not to support Robyn at the reunion, and he declined the invitation to attend. Robyn continues to defend Juan and his deletion of messages on his phone, despite all of the allegations. Candiace beefs with Robyn because Robyn wants the details of her life to stay silent, but she demands to know everything about everyone else’s life. Andy wonders why Robyn didn’t “get ahead” of the story about Juan’s cheating to try and alleviate any of these problems now.
Candiace talks about how she refuses to answer any questions asked by Robyn’s blogger friend, and then she produces some exhibits, aka… blown-up receipts of a group chat. Candiace points out that in the text, Robyn talked to bloggers about her anger and how Robyn thinks that talking about Candiace’s business would keep her business at bay. Candiace needs a cry-angle after getting egged on by Gizelle, and she wants “acknowledgment” from Robyn. In a final statement, Robyn tells us that she has been together with Juan for 28 years. She goes through highs and lows but claims to be happy with Juan.
Karen admits to getting a facelift after turning “triple 20,” and she discusses how she may be considered a fence humper. Andy switches gears to talk about the PAVE event, and Karen thanks the ladies for sharing their stories.
On a different note, Gizelle blames Candiace for death threats throughout the season, but Candiace isn’t buying it. Gizelle points out that the color of her skin was a direct connection to Candiace, and she rattles off the list of things that people have called her throughout the season because (according to Gizelle) of Candiace. Candiace shows NO remorse and reminds Gizelle that everyone up there has received some sort of a death threat. She proceeds to pull out yet another receipt, and she feels like Gizelle and Robyn were adding “sauce” to the issue during their podcast.
The conversation turns as Robyn points out the screenshots of Candiace’s husband’s “limp penis,” but that story gets shut down once it was learned that the woman who originally claimed the photo was Chris turned out to be a liar.
Candiace tells Andy that she has “seen and heard enough” from Gizelle. Gizelle appears to not want to move forward, but Andy wonders if either woman can be accountable for any of their actions. Andy points out that after the PAVE event aired, Candiace tweeted about how it’s triggering to watch a woman who accuses someone of sexual assault speak about sexual assault. Candiace claims that Gizelle has accused her husband of sexual assault, but Gizelle continues to deny these allegations.
Karen jumps in and reminds everyone that words do matter, and that although Gizelle never said the exact words, people are left to draw conclusions. Gizelle tells us all that Chris asked her to go into a room, and she explains that she has not lied about a thing. Gizelle refuses to apologize for things she has never said, and she says that Chris asked her to go. However, in a flashback, it is shown that Gizelle said that Chris “made me go into a bedroom and closed the door.”
Wendy wonders, if Gizelle could hold herself accountable, could Candiace hold herself accountable? Gizelle clarifies that she was never MADE to go into a room, but rather asked. Candiace admits that she should have never used those words from the last reunion to describe Gizelle, and a little progress has been made between the women.
However, it is pointed out that Karen does always seem to go after Robyn. When asked to say three nice things about Karen, Robyn begrudgingly says that she is witty, looks great, and is a great mother. Karen says that Robyn is intelligent, is a good friend to Gizelle, and is strategic but an overall nice person. Karen is unable to look at things from Robyn’s perspective, and Karen states that it’s because Robyn is always all over the place.
During a lunch break, Mia phones her boo… with Gordon in the background, which isn’t weird AT ALL. Gordon waves hello during the FaceTime call and listens in as Mia says “I love you” to Inc. Once back on the sofa, we start digging into Mia’s challenging year. A move, a crumbling marriage… she went through it all this season. We learn that Mia and Inc rekindled when Gordon started to go through his depression and his prostate cancer bout. Gordon allowed Mia to begin seeing Inc so long as, one, she was discreet, and two, she didn’t get the kids involved. And Mia broke both rules.
Mia currently has a penthouse apartment in Washington, DC, and Gordon is relocating across the street from her. When asked about the history between her and Inc, Mia shares that she was high school sweethearts with him, but they drifted apart due to distance. While she was married to Gordon, there was one occasion when she rekindled the flame with Inc, and this brings us to the biggest issue: who is the father of her son, Jeremiah? Apparently, Inc went to her home and tried to take Jeremiah because he believes that he is Jeremiah’s father. We need a paternity test immediately…

#NewMusic from The Shindellas “Good as Gold”
The Shindellas are having a time in their music video for “Good As Gold.” The brand-new visual is the latest from their six-month old album Shindo, which is still making waves and taking the ladies places, such as across the country on their recent stint on October London’s The Rebirth Of Marvin Tour. Now that the tour has ended, the trio is back to remind us that they’ve got some jams to behold on Shindo. “Good As Gold” definitely falls into that category, and group members Stacy Johnson, Kasi Jones and Tamara Chauniece bring us a fun video to match the vibe of the song.
Decked out in matching gold outfits, “Good As Gold” opens with the trio strutting into a photo studio and immediately striking a pose. It’s lights, camera, action from there as the gals cut up individually and collectively.
In between those scenes we see the group performing on stage in a club to a welcoming audience – which includes their Weirdo Workshop comrades Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York who make a cameo – signing autographs and meeting and greeting their fans. Our girls even bust a move, breaking into a smooth, “Toe tap, soul clap, bring that thang on back / Oh, make that body roll,” as they command us to do on the upbeat track.
Join The Shindellas on the dance floor when you watch the “Good As Gold” video right HERE.
#HipHopNews: Nicki Minaj Brings 50 Cent Out During "Pink Friday 2 World Tour" NYC Stop
Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” made a stop in New York City last night (March 30). The artist took over Madison Square Garden and brought out a special guest: 50 Cent.
The G-Unit mogul performed “Candy Shop” and “Beep Beep (Remix),” which appeared on Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Deluxe). She was also reportedly the first female rapper to headline a sold-out show at the venue.
“[Nicki Minaj], Gag City vibes,” 50 Cent wrote on Twitter. “Yo, I’m not gonna front, Nicki got all the b**ches! I looked in the crowd and was like, ‘D**n, baby, what [are] you doing?’ Then threw my jacket at these little sex workers.”
Meanwhile, the “Everybody” hitmaker penned, “This is so surreal to me, man, wow. Thank you to FIF! Southside, WE OUTSIDE! Two kids from QUEENS. GAG-UNIT!”
Earlier this week, Minaj brought out Freeway and Young Gunz during her Philadelphia concert. “That means a lot to me. REAL [N**GAS] ONLY. Wishing everyone who hit the stage tonight blessings on blessings,” she shared on Instagram. Notably, Republic Records also presented the musician with a plaque to celebrate “Super Bass” going RIAA-certified platinum twelve times.
Since kicking off in Oakland, California, Minaj’s most recent trek has spawned several noteworthy moments. For example, during the first Atlanta stop, a fan went viral for botching the chorus of “The Night Is Still Young.” Monica, who was announced as a supporting act, also trended on Twitter following the first show.
The Trinidadian artist will be performing in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal, Canada, Detroit and Chicago, among other places next month. She’s also expected to headline this year’s Dreamville Festival on April 7 alongside J. Cole. The “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” is expected to begin its European leg toward the end of May before concluding in Belgium in mid-July.
Mike Epps Reveals Richard Pryor’s Wife Doesn’t Want Him To Star In Biopic
While chatting with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson for their All The Smoke podcast, Mike Epps spoke about being in possible talks to play the late Richard Pryor in his biopic, and also why it never happened.
“I was gonna play Richard Pryor and I didn’t screw his ex-wife and she got mad,” he joked as the other hosts bust out in laughter. “‘You’re not gonna play Richard, you didn’t spank this a**,'” he mocked her. “I said, ‘Nope, I ain’t playing Richard Pryor then.'”
He added, “She gon’ sue me for this. ‘You’re going to People’s Court ni**a.'
Epps then recalled attending Pryor’s funeral in 2005 after the iconic comedian died from a heart attack. He expressed his disappointment in Pryor’s friends for not speaking at his services, especially the late Paul Mooney. However, he did mention that Mo’Nique and George Lopez spoke, even though neither comedian knew Pryor personally.
The Upshaws star also shared that during the ceremony Pryor’s casket remained closed, to which he later found out that Pryor was never inside, but had been cremated prior. He joked that Diana Ross began singing in the middle of the funeral upon the revelation, which in response caused both hosts to laugh uncontrollably.
Epps shared that the night of the funeral is when Pryor’s ex-wife asserted that she felt he wasn’t “ready” to play her husband. He joked that he responded to her with “f**k you bi**h,” before sharing what he really said.
“I told her, ‘Look here, I love Richard Pryor. I love him to death,'” he said. “But my kids don’t know who he is. If you’re gonna see a Richard Pryor movie with me in it, you’re going to see Mike Epps play Richard Pryor.”
Additionally, he discussed the current state of comedy and addressed “cancel culture,” which many seasoned comedians face nowadays for making jokes about “sensitive” topics.
“You gotta weigh your odds,” he began before naming Katt Williams, Corey Holcomb and Dave Chappelle as “fearless” comedians. “They over there saying everything I wanna say. But I can’t mess my money up because I know how to act in a movie, I know how to do TV. I know how to produce. I’m over here trying to protect that.”
He ended with agreeing that comedy has “suffered” from the public’s sensitivity. He also foreshadowed that if legendary comedians like Pryor, Redd Foxx, Bernie Mac were alive today, they “wouldn’t have made it in this time,” and most likely would have “walked away” from the industry.
Iowa Beats LSU by Caitlin Clark’s 41-Point, 12-Assist Explosion To Reach The Final Four
Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are headed to the Final Four for the second consecutive season. In the most anticipated game of the 2024 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament to this point, Iowa and LSU squared off in a rematch of the 2023 national final and, while the game was both riveting and competitive throughout, Clark finished with 41 points and 12 assists to lead Iowa to a 94-87 victory.
The first half more than lived up to the billing, as the two teams exchanged haymakers for the opening 20 minutes of the game. While Iowa managed to race out to a 17-9 lead, LSU’s size eventually began to overwhelm them, particularly Angel Reese.
After the Hawkeyes found their footing a bit — and Reese went out due to what appeared to be an ankle injury — much of the first half occurred with both teams within four points of one another. With less than two seconds left in the frame, Flau’jae Johnson scored to send both teams into the locker room tied at 45.
Clark and Reese lived up to the star billing in the first half, with the Iowa sensation putting up 19 points and 5 assists, while LSU’s standout stuffed the stat sheet with eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks.
The Hawkeyes once again raced out of the gates in the third quarter, led unsurprisingly by Clark. She got absolutely nuclear hot to start the frame as the team opened things up with a 18-7 run.
Iowa built a 69-58 lead after three quarters, and, while LSU scored the first five points of the fourth quarter to cut the lead nearly in half, Clark wasn’t ready to cede control. By the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter, Clark had tied a career high (and tournament record) with nine triples, and Iowa’s lead was back to 11 points.
Nothing was assured at that juncture, but the run LSU needed never materialized. With 2:29 remaining, Clark set up Hannah Stuelke for a layup to give Iowa a 12-point lead, and it was all but academic from there
The Hawkeyes will now head to Cleveland to face either USC or UConn the national semifinal on Friday. Iowa certainly won’t be satisfied with anything but a national title given the team’s No. 1 seed and the presence of Clark, but it was a monumental performance for both player and team.
Zoe Saldana On The Future Of Marvel's 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' And Her Role As Gamora
Zoe Saldana has shared her thoughts on the future of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise and her role as Gamora. Speaking on "The Discourse" podcast, Saldana expressed that she is "done" playing Gamora for the time being.
However, she believes that the character's story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is not over. "I don't think Gamora has gone for good," she said.
Saldana emphasized her strong belief in the importance of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. "It would be a huge loss for Marvel if they didn't find a way to bring back 'The Guardians of the Galaxy'," she explained. She praised the fan-favorite characters, James Gunn's writing, and the unique genre appeal of the franchise.
While Marvel has not announced plans for a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film, the actress expressed her enthusiasm for the possibility. She stated that she would be "the first one in the first row to celebrate when the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' come back."
In addition to her role in the MCU, Saldana also discussed her involvement in other franchises. She expressed hope for a fourth "Star Trek" film featuring the cast from the 2009-2016 trilogy. While she acknowledged Paramount's plans for a fresh take on the franchise, she said, "I still have hope... I don't know, but I certainly hope so."
Her comments suggest that while she may have bid farewell to her role as Gamora for now, she remains optimistic about the future of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" and her continued involvement in the entertainment industry.
Jay Leno Seeks To Establish Conservatorship Over Wife Mavis Amid Her Advanced Dementia Batlle
According to court documents obtained by E! News, Jay Leno has filed paperwork seeking to establish a conservatorship over his wife Mavis Leno's estate due to her advanced dementia.
Mavis' court-appointed counsel, Ronald Ostrin, revealed that she "sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth." Ostrin's filing also notes that Mavis suffers from "disorientation" and frequently reminisces about her deceased parents. Despite her cognitive impairment, Ostrin stated that Mavis "still has a charming personality and could communicate." She also expressed a strong desire to vote and engage in philanthropic work, showing her continued connection to her surroundings.
Dr. Hart Cohen, Mavis' neurologist, has been treating her since a car accident in 2018. He confirmed her diagnosis of advanced dementia and praised Jay for his dedication to her care.
Ostrin interviewed both Jay as well as Mavis and reviewed medical records to support his recommendation that Jay be appointed as conservator of her estate. He emphasized the need for planning to ensure Mavis' well-being if something were to happen to Jay.
In his petition, Jay stated that he has always handled the couple's finances and wants to ensure that Mavis has sufficient assets to provide for her future care. However, he is not requesting a conservatorship over Mavis' person, which would grant him control over her care and safety.
Mavis has consented to the conservatorship and trusts Jay to protect her. Ostrin stated that Jay "seems to be a standup guy" whose private persona matches his public image.
Jay and Mavis have enjoyed a long-term, loving marriage but have never had any children. The court is expected to hear Jay's conservatorship motion on April 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Euphoria's Storm Reid Reacts to Season 3 Delay, Says She's 'Not Surprised'
Storm Reid is the first Euphoria cast member to speak out in response to the show’s third season delay.
It was announced earlier this week that the third season of the HBO series will be delayed. The plan was to shoot the season this summer, but the network is letting cast members pursue other opportunities as scripts are not yet ready.
Storm was in attendance at USC’s School of Dramatic Arts’ Drama Center opening in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 28) and she spoke out about the delay
“I would hope the viewers, the audience will be able to finish the show,” Storm told Variety. “I think we should handle the show with care. We’ve put our hearts and soul into it.”
Storm was asked if she was surprised by the delay and she said, “Yes and no. We would all hope to be able to go back tomorrow, but there are logistics that have to be figured out. So even though I’m a little disappointed, I’m not surprised.”
“I do know if we do go back that I am sure we will continue to be authentic and represent the real world,” she added.
Storm plays Gia, the younger sister to Zendaya‘s character Rue.
Beyoncé Channels Her Inner Country Queen While Being Honored with Innovator Award at iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024
Following the release of her critically acclaimed new album Cowboy Carter, the 42-year-old entertainer was honored with the Innovator Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday (April 1) at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
While being honored by the legendary Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé walked out on stage in a black leather jumpsuit paired with a black cowboy with gold detailing.
“Tonight, you called me an innovator and for that, I’m very grateful,” Beyoncé said in her acceptance speech. “Innovation starts with a dream. But then you have to execute that dream and that role can be very bumpy.”
“Being an innovator is saying what everyone believes is impossible,” she continued. “Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength. Being an innovator is leaning on faith, trusting that God will catch you and guide you.”
Beyoncé then went on to name several Black artists “who defied any label placed upon them,” including Rosetta Tharpe, Linda Martell, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, and Stevie.
“Thank you for executing your dream so we could all follow,” Beyoncé added before thanking her team, husband Jay-Z, and her “three beautiful children” who inspire her.
Congrats Bey!!
Ludacris describes Katt Williams’ rumors as “so laughable” while revisiting their back-and-forth
2024 has already been a big year for Ludacris. He joined Usher at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show and was announced as one of the judges for season two of Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow.” Another highlight for the Grammy Award winner was his spat with Katt Williams, which stemmed from the comedian’s comments on “Club Shay Shay” in January.
Ludacris looked back on the incident, which saw the two trading freestyles, during “The Breakfast Club.” Specifically, he addressed Williams’ rumors about the pair being “invited to an Illuminati thing” prior to him ultimately being cast for the Fast & Furious franchise.
"I wouldn't be the right person to ask that question," Ludacris stated. "I have no idea if he was offered a role in [Fast & Furious]. I do know that I saw him at Rick Ross' crib some years back and everything was perfectly fine. But he's a comedian, you know, and he tells jokes, so it is what it is."
He continued, “It was so laughable — what he said — to me, I couldn’t believe what he was saying. I took it as laughable because he’s a comedian, and that’s why I kind of responded with some laughable stuff.”
Elsewhere, host DJ Envy asked if Ludacris could beat Williams in a foot race, likely referring to the comic’s viral 40-yard dash at the Dallas Cowboys' training headquarters. “That’s a great question. I don’t know ‘cause he is fast out there, for sure,” the emcee responded.
Ludacris’ remarks garnered praise from people in the comment section, who applauded him for remaining professional. “Love his response. Don’t need to add fuel to the [fire],” shared one user. Another reply read, “I love how he responded! Perfect! Why stress over a lie? Perfectly dealt with!”
Williams’ initial interview with Shannon Sharpe has over 64 million YouTube views to date at the time of writing. During their nearly three-hour conversation, the Ohio native mentioned Kevin Hart, Michael Blackson, Cedric The Entertainer, Mo’Nique and more.
LSU's Reese says no excuses, won't blame reinjured ankle for NCAA exit
LSU forward Angel Reese reinjured her right ankle in a 94-87 loss to Iowa on Monday night but refused to use that as an excuse for her performance.
Reese fell into cameras along the baseline after blocking a shot at the 8:01 mark of the second quarter and immediately came up hobbled, hopping on one foot to the bench. After spending a few minutes on the bike, she reentered the game and played through the pain, gutting it out the rest of the way.
"I'm tough, so I tried to play through it, of course, and this is something that has been going on for a little while now," Reese said. "But I played through it, and I'm not going to make that excuse for the rest of my play for the game."
Reese initially sprained her ankle last month in the SEC tournament. When she reinjured it Monday, LSU led 34-30. She was 5-of-7 for 10 points at that point in the game. But after the injury, she went 2-of-14 for seven points and appeared to be limping up and down the court. Reese changed her shoes at halftime to a higher top for better ankle support.
"I saw her limping, but that goes to show the type of person she is," LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson said. "She's not going to make excuses. She's just going to take that on the chin. I respect that. That shows how much she cares about the game and her integrity to the game."
In tandem with the Reese injury, LSU lost its shooting touch after the first quarter. The game was tied at halftime, but the turning point came in the third quarter, when LSU shot 5-of-26 in its worst quarter of the game. Iowa took an 11-point advantage that it never relinquished.
The Tigers had no defensive answers for Caitlin Clark, who finished with 41 points and nine 3-pointers with Hailey Van Lith and Last-Tear Poa as her primary defenders before Johnson got an opportunity later in the game.
Johnson said she had hoped to have an opportunity to guard Clark more than she did. LSU coach Kim Mulkey said of the defensive strategy going into the game, "There's not a lot of strategy. You've got to guard her. Nobody else seems to be able to guard her. We didn't even guard her last year when we beat them."
Reese finished with 17 points and 20 rebounds. When she fouled out with 1:45 remaining, she went to the bench and shared a warm embrace with Johnson -- perhaps a realization that winning a second straight national championship was simply not meant to be for the two players who put the Tigers on their back.
Afterward, Reese would not say whether she had decided her future plans. "I'll make a decision when I'm ready," she said. Her teammates defended her leadership in their postgame comments.
"Everybody can have their opinion on Angel Reese, but y'all don't know her," Johnson said. "I know the real Angel Reese, and the person I see every day is a strong person, is a caring, loving person. But the crown she wears is heavy. She's the type of teammate that's going to make you believe in yourself."
Reese took a moment to reflect on the increased media scrutiny since LSU won the national championship last year, and disclosed she had received death threats.
"I've been attacked so many times, death threats, I've been sexualized, I've been threatened, I've been so many things, and I've stood strong every single time," Reese said. "I just try to stand strong for my teammates because I don't want them to see me down and not be there for them. All this has happened since I won the national championship. It sucks, but I still wouldn't change.
"The little girls that look up to me, hopefully I give them some type of inspiration -- keep waking up every day, keep being motivated, staying who you are, stand 10 toes, don't back down, and just be confident."
Afterward, in the postgame locker room, Reese said, "I'm not going to let tonight take away from anything. I did a lot. We won a national championship with nine new players. I left an amazing impact on so many different people. I've won at the highest level and I'm happy about that."
In the locker next to hers, Johnson said, "Right now, I want to go to the gym and I want to get better. I only perspective I have is that we're not going to the Final Four and I have to be better for my team. I've got to be better. I understand what we've done, but as a competitor, you want to win."
No matter what decision Reese makes, LSU has the opportunity to return the bulk of its team. Van Lith has one more year to play; Johnson is a sophomore; Aneesah Morrow is a junior; Mikaylah Williams is a freshman.
"Only one team finishes the season happy, and boy, we got to do that last year," Mulkey said. "Somebody will get to do it this year. But everybody else is going to come up here and be sad. You know, there's nothing wrong with being sad. If you're not sad, that means you didn't invest much. So those tears are tears of investment."
Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee Holds Firm Lead in Stockton City Council District 6 Race
*Media mogul Jason Lee, founder of the popular entertainment platform Hollywood Unlocked, maintains a substantial lead over his five opponents three weeks after the California primary election.
“I’m extremely humbled to see that the overwhelming majority of voters who participated in the primary put their faith in me to lead District 6,” Lee told FOX40.com.
Lee is campaigning for a city councilman position in his hometown of Stockton, California. He’s up against incumbent Kimberly Warmsley, the vice mayor.
According to results disclosed by San Joaquin County as of March 26, Lee commands 47.70% of the total votes tallied, FOX40 reports. Warmsley trails behind with 30.62% of the total votes. Following closely behind in the Stockton City Council District 6 race: Satnam Singh at 7.80%, Zobeyda Moreno at 7.19%, Ralph White at 7.01%, and Ronnie Murray Sr. at 5.68% of the votes, per FOX40.
For Lee, his lead doesn’t come as a surprise.
“‘Hard Work and Dedication’ is a mantra that Floyd Mayweather instilled in me as a mentor so I can’t say I was surprised that the hard work paid off,” Lee told FOX40. “We campaigned the way I intend to work and the people appreciated it.”
He added, “You can never expect anything in a campaign. I never want my confidence to come off as arrogance. I have a pulse of the people and made sure that everything we did was aligned with where they wanted to see change. The only thing the people can expect is that I will be the real change they can count on.”
In a new interview with Blavity, he said, “I see myself as a reflection of the people I want to serve.”
In his commitment to providing resources for the youth, Lee intends to donate his government salary towards establishing a “youth athletic commission.”
We reported earlier that, through his Hollywood Cares Foundation, bridging celebrities with opportunities to support underserved children, Lee aims to launch a new youth program in his hometown dubbed “I Am Ready.”
Last year, he asked the city of Stockton for $1 million to kick off the initiative.
“I’m going to show them that you could be cool, you could live, but you can also give back to your community,” he told Blavity. “You can also commit to service.”
Lee continued, “My commitment to what is a part-time position will be full-time because you have to have a full-time heart and put a full-time effort into everything you do. So, I hope to be an example for the people. I want to say, ‘I know it is a sacrifice, but if not you, then who, and if you can do it, do it.’ And I think if more people did it, we would see a different world.”
Conjoined Twin Sisters Abby and Brittany Hensel Call Out Haters Judging Abby's Marriage
The Hensel twins addressed their "haters" and the social media users being "extra LOUD" about Abby's marriage.
Abby and Brittney Hensel, who are conjoined twins, want "haters" to stop worrying about Abby's marriage to U.S. Army veteran, Josh Bowling.
The sisters were introduced as children on a 1996 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, more than 15 years before the debut of their 2012 TLC reality television special, Abby & Brittney.
On Friday, the twins shared a series of TikTok posts about the marriage, one pointing to the history of conjoined twins, some depicted in archeological sculptures. According to People, dicephalus conjoined twins is where twins have two individual heads but share a torso, organs below the waist, and a bloodstream. Separately, the twins have control of different arms and legs, Brittney on the left and Abby on the right.
"The internet is extra LOUD today. We have always been around," read the caption of one post. Another TikTok post superimposed a scene from 2001 children's animated Monster's Inc. with images of the Hensels with Bowling, the caption including two eyeroll emojis.
A third post, captioned "#forever" included the same images, but with a flashing message that read, "This is for all you haters out there. If you don’t like what I do but watch everything I’m doing — you’re still a fan."
Bowling and Abby Hensel married in November 2021, and live in the Hensels' homestate of Minnesota, where both are fifth-grade teachers. While Bowling has an 8-year-old daughter, Isabella Rose, the Hensels previously said in 2003 documentary, Joined for Life, that they planned to one day become mothers.
R. Kelly Issues A Warning To Anyone Making Fun Of Diddy’s Recent Homes Raids: “They A** Could Be Next”
R. Kelly addresses the raids on Diddy’s homes and sends a warning to anyone cracking jokes about the situation.
The singer recently joined Clubhouse via phone call with Wack 100. During the conversation, Kelly expressed his opinions on the controversy and criticized both the investigation and the reactions of others.
“The sh*t is crazy. Motherf*ckers out there laughing and making comedian jokes and doing all the other sh*t on the radio and everything else, but they a** could be next,” he said. “That’s what’s so f*cked up about.
