#RHOA: Kenya Moore Shared Posters of Brittany Eady Performing Sex Act at Hair Event for RHOA as Brittany Threatens Legal Action Over “Revenge Porn” and Kenya Reacts!
Kenya Moore reportedly displayed the posters of Brittany Eady allegedly performing a sex act at an event honoring her Kenya Moore Hair Spa collection on Thursday night.
Following rumors suggesting that Brittany, 36, had threatened Kenya, 53, with a gun amid production on the upcoming 16th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kenya is facing claims of having left partygoers “horrified” by the sexually explicit content, which was allegedly revealed to guests of her event as Bravo cameras rolled.
The Neighborhood Talk was the first to report the news on June 7, with an insider stating that Kenya “showed a picture of Brittany” performing oral sex.
A short time later, a second report by Page Six revealed that guests were left “horrified” after Kenya shared the images of Brittany allegedly performing the sex act and that Brittany was not present at Kenya’s event, nor did she threaten Kenya with a gun.
“At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production,” a source close to filming told the outlet.
Meanwhile, a second insider said that Brittany did threaten Kenya, mentioning a “gun,” before the event, which made their co-stars “uncomfortable,” and noted that the alleged photos of Brittany, the newbie of RHOA season 16, are “readily accessible” online.
Although the moment in question was caught on camera, it is not known if it will actually air on the show and an investigation has been launched.
“I’m flabbergasted and floored,” Drew Sidora, 39, tweeted after the event.
Photographer Erick Robinson also spoke out, stating in a now-deleted tweet, “I am still trying [to] recover myself. I couldn’t even take a photo, my mouth fell to the floor and I am just in awe like that was the most deadliest scene probably ever filmed on the franchise.”
Following the sharing of the news on Friday, Brittany took to her Instagram Story with several statements, some of which have since been erased.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me about what took place at the event yesterday. I am still processing the nasty, low, disgusting vile things that was done to try to hurt me. BULLYING and revenge porn is never okay,” Brittany wrote in one of her posts.

In another series of Story posts, Brittany seemed to hint that she may take legal action against Kenya.
“In Georgia, the distribution of sexually explicit images without the consent of the person depicted is considered a criminal offense. Under Georgia law, the offense of unlawful disclosure of intimate images, also known as revenge porn, is covered under O.C.G.A. 16-11-90. This law makes it illegal to distribute sexually explicit images or videos of another person without their consent and with the intent to harm, harass, intimidate, or coerce the person depicted,” read another message. “Violating Georgia’s revenge porn law is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both. Subsequent offenses are considered felonies, carrying more severe penalties.”
Brittany also accused Kenya of hazing and bullying her.
“It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED by someone I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met. For the record, I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I’ve never even been to jail, in a fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket. That’s not in my character. I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed,” she stated, adding, “Wrong is wrong.”
As for Kenya, she had a brief message for her fans and followers, which read, “Believe none of what [you] hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes to light.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.

Jaguar Wright Arrested For Theft In Dallas Amid Wild Celeb Conspiracies
Jaguar Wright is reportedly behind bars after being arrested in Dallas on Wednesday on charges of property theft.
Jaguar Wright has been going viral recently after making wild accusations about industry figures, but now the singer is making headlines following reports she’s been arrested.
On Thursday (June 6) several outlets reported that Wright was accused of theft of property between $30K-$150K. She was booked in Dallas earlier on Thursday and is believed to be behind bars.
While further details surrounding her arrest are scarce, rumors are circulating on social media that Wright was nabbed for stealing a truck.
Wright allegedly called into the Sean Davie Way Show during a livestream, claiming there is “no charge” to keep her locked up. She also blamed blogger Tasha K for her arrest and vowed to sue. Furthermore, Wright asked the host to contact CNN in light of the situation and claimed she was arrested to prevent her from speaking out.
In recent months, Wright had touted various theories across a range of appearances, making accusations about Diddy, Jay-Z and Beyoncรฉ and many others.
Earlier this week, Wright joined forces with reality TV personality Tokyo Toni, where the duo claimed Justin Biber performed a sex act on Odell Beckham Jr. at one of Diddy’s swanky parties.
Wright also claimed Nicki Minaj was responsible for leaking alleged audio of Diddy and Meek Mill. Additionally, Wright recently insisted that Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have a hidden past despite the beef. According to Wright, Meg and Nicki made a sex tape, and she’s seen the proof, having watched it herself.
Ex-NBA Player Delonte West Arrested After Collapsing While Fleeing Cops: Report
Former NBA point guard Delonte West suffered a medical emergency as he was attempting to evade Virginia police trying to serve him a warrant early Thursday, according to a report. He reportedly collapsed and was discovered by officers, hospitalized, and later arrested on misdemeanor charges of violating the conditions of his release and resisting arrest.
West, 40, “took off” as officers with the Fairfax County Police Department approached him, according to TMZ Sports. The tabloid reported that officers pursued him on foot, losing sight of him briefly, only to find him “unresponsive” shortly after.
“Narcan was administered by officers,” the department told TMZ in a statement, “but [it] did not have the desired effect. He was transported to a local hospital and Narcan was administered again, which yielded the desired effect. West was released from the hospital and transported to the [Fairfax County Detention Center].”
He remained in custody as of Thursday afternoon, according to online records. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Friday morning.
West last played for the Dallas Mavericks in 2012. Over eight seasons in the NBA, he also played stints with the Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics, and Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 assists per game, according to ESPN. He disclosed that he’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder during his time in the league.
He has battled substance abuse issues in more recent years. In Sept. 2020, after photos of West apparently panhandling at a Dallas intersection circulated online, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban picked him up at a gas station and took him to a rehabilitation facility in Florida. Four months later, it was reported that West was working at that same center.
But he faltered publicly later that year, rolling up to a Florida police station belligerently drunk in October. He was eventually taken into custody after thumping on the station’s glass doors, cursing loudly.
He was arrested again in Fairfax County in Oct. 2022, after being spotted trying to break into a car. He was booked on four misdemeanor charges, records show.
Jay-Z's $300M Scholarship Program Deemed A Threat To Public Education
Jay-Z, through his company Roc Nation, recently unveiled a massive $300 million scholarship initiative aimed at benefiting low-income students in Philadelphia from grades K-12. This initiative, known as the PASS program (Pennsylvania Award for Student Success), aims to provide students and families with resources and knowledge to pursue their academic goals.
Roc Nation is set to host various events throughout June to educate the public about the program. According to Roc Nation Managing Director of Philanthropy Dania Diaz, "Impact starts with the students and with awareness. We want to empower the youth and families with the knowledge to pursue their scholastic dreams, make their voices heard and become the leaders of tomorrow."
However, the initiative has sparked significant controversy on social media, with critics arguing that it supports a Republican-led effort to defund public education in favor of privatization. One user on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out, "Just to be clear for those not in Pennsylvania, the legislation Jay-Z is supporting here is a Republican-led effort to gut public education, spearheaded by future Trump cabinet member Jeffrey Yass."
This sentiment was echoed by others who believe that diverting resources from public schools to private institutions via vouchers undermines the education system, ultimately harming the most vulnerable students.
"Whether Jay-Z or the upper middle-class family on the block: if you have resources and don't allocate them to local public schools, you are making a moral and political choice. Taking children out of public schools in favor of private IS PRECISELY what hurts the most vulnerable," another social media user wrote.
Further complicating the issue is the fact that the funding for this initiative reportedly comes from Philadelphia taxpayers rather than Roc Nation or JAY-Z himself. Pulitzer prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones offered a critical perspective, noting, "Not only do students who go to private schools on vouchers not perform better, 1 out of 5 leaves the private school and actually see improved academic results by returning to the public school."
Roc Nation has tried to frame this initiative as a continuation of their longstanding relationship with Philadelphia, stating that the city has hosted their Made In America festival since 2012 and emphasizing their commitment to the city's "changemakers." Despite this, many see the move as more harmful than beneficial, potentially leading to the privatization and underfunding of public schools, similar to what has occurred in other urban areas.
Only time will tell if JAY-Z's gamble will pay off or if it will further exacerbate educational inequalities. As the public continues to weigh in, the debate highlights the complex interplay between philanthropy, politics, and public education.
Howard University Revokes Diddy's Honorary Degree
Howard University announced Friday that it has revoked the honorary degree conferred upon Sean Combs — also known as Diddy — following a unanimous vote by the Board of Trustees.
This decision comes after a recently released video showed behavior that the university deemed fundamentally incompatible with its core values.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Board of Trustees said, "The Howard University Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to accept the return by Mr. Sean Combs of the honorary degree conferred upon him in 2014. This acceptance revokes all honors and privileges associated with the degree. Accordingly, the Board has directed that his name be removed from all documents listing honorary degree recipients of Howard University."
The university’s decision follows a recently published Rolling Stone article, which detailed allegations that Combs had abused a girlfriend on campus in the late 1980s.
According to the article, Combs was seen screaming in a "belligerent" manner and hitting the young woman with what appeared to be a belt.
Howard University emphasized its strong opposition to all acts of interpersonal violence.
In addition to revoking the honorary degree, the Board has instructed the administration to terminate a 2016 gift agreement with Combs, disband the scholarship program named after him, return his $1 million contribution, and terminate a 2023 pledge agreement with the Sean Combs Foundation.
The statement clarified, "No payments toward the $1 million pledge have been due or made by the Sean Combs Foundation as of this date, therefore no funds are due to be returned under the 2023 pledge agreement."
Combs was a former student who attended Howard University for two years before dropping out in 1990. He received the honorary doctorate and served as commencement speaker in 2014.
In 2016, he announced a $1 million donation to the university to create a scholarship fund for undergraduate business majors in need of financial assistance, which included internships and mentoring opportunities through Combs Enterprises.
Howard University and the Board of Trustees have declined to comment further on the matter.
Rescuers hunting for missing Michael Mosley have shifted to new mountain path on Greek island of Symi
New CCTV of a man believed to be missing TV and radio presenter Michael Mosley on the Greek island of Symi has been seen by the BBC.
The footage appears to show one of the last-known sightings of the 67-year-old walking with an umbrella next to the marina in the village of Pedi on Wednesday, heading towards rocky hills.
The mountainous terrain is described as "not easy" by those involved with the search.
Dr Mosley, known for his TV programmes and BBC Radio 4's Just One Thing podcast, vanished four days ago while on holiday - after leaving a beach on foot. A search and rescue operation, involving helicopters and drones, continues.
The new image appears to show the man in good form and walking steadily, an unnamed police officer told BBC News.
This is believed to be one of the last two CCTV sightings of the man with the umbrella before he left the village.
Earlier on Saturday, firefighters started searching a 4 mile (6.5km) radius over a mountainous area that is surrounded by sea.
Asked if there had been any sign of Dr Mosley, he said there has been "nothing".
One theory that has emerged is that Dr Mosley was trying to take a much longer route than previously thought, passing over miles of exposed hillside.
Dr Mosley's accommodation was in the main town about 1 mile from Pedi. Dr Mosely's movements have been pieced together from a series of CCTV images. A man believed to be the broadcaster was seen on Pedi’s main street holding an umbrella about 20 minutes after leaving the beach.
A member of the rescue team described the search as a “race against time” and said he could be “anywhere”.
His four children have arrived on Symi to help with the search. His wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley has also been searching the island joined by her British friends, Symi's mayor said.
'We will not lose hope,' says Michael Mosley's wife All patrol boats, private boats and commercial boats near the island have been searching for Dr Mosley, Symi’s coastguard said, while police and firefighters have been using drones and a sniffer dog to try to locate the missing presenter. Divers have been "looking into the water" with the help of the Hellenic Coast Guard.
Symi's mayor Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas said the search will continue until Dr Mosley is found.
He added he was unsure why the missing presenter would try to make a long, potentially arduous journey in such heat, but he hoped the presenter is found "safe and alive".
Greek police said Dr Mosley left his wife on the beach on Wednesday, before setting off on a walk to the centre of the island.
His phone was found where he was staying with his wife, who reported him missing, a police spokesperson told BBC News.

An appeal saying he was missing was posted on a local Facebook group on Wednesday, alongside a picture of Dr Mosley wearing a blue cap, polo shirt and shorts.
"Have you seen this man? He set off to walk back from [Agios Nikolaos beach] at about 13:30 and failed to make it home," it said.
Symi is part of Greece's Dodecanese island group and sits about 12 miles (19km) north-west of Rhodes. In the 2021 census it had a population of approximately 2,600 people.
The majority of its beaches are remote and people are advised to take boats to visit them.

Before moving into TV, Dr Mosley studied medicine in London and qualified as a doctor but for the last couple of decades has been working as a presenter, documentary maker, journalist and author.
He writes a column for the Daily Mail and his TV programmes also include Channel 4 show Michael Mosley: Who Made Britain Fat?
Dr Mosley has been an advocate for intermittent fasting diets, including the 5:2 diet and The Fast 800 diet.
His wife Clare Bailey Mosley, is also a doctor, author and healthy living advocate.
The couple recently appeared at the Hay Festival where Dr Mosley presented a special edition of Just One Thing.
Reacting to the "shocking news", his fellow Trust Me, I'm A Doctor co-star Dr Saleyha Ahsan said she was "praying he is found safe" and she feels "sick with worry".
On Thursday's edition of The One Show, presenter Alex Jones opened the programme by expressing concern that "our friend" had gone missing.
"Our thoughts are very much with his wife Clare and the rest of his family at this worrying time. We hope for more positive news," she added.

Tisha Campbell Says She Hasn’t Been Sick Since Her Divorce
Tisha Campbell recently opened up about her battle with sarcoidosis and how a major life event had a positive impact on her health.
Sarcoidosis is a condition that causes lumps or nodules (granulomas) to form in the lungs, lymph nodes, skin, eyes, and other parts of the body.
Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, tender sores on the shins, and eye pain and redness.
During an appearance on a live episode of “The Mibo Show” with Shanti Das in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the legendary actress revealed she has been in remission for four years.
Tisha Campbell also noted that she hasn’t gotten sick since her divorce from Duane Martin. I have to tell the truth. I have been in remission for four years now. They can’t find it at the base of my brain at all. I haven’t gotten sick, not one time. And I was so cared to get Covid because I thought, if I get Covid, I’m gonna die. Every cold took me to the hospital. Just every sniffle, allergies, it would just build up and I would get sick.
But, I have not been sick ever since I got a divorce.
Tisha Campbell was married to Duane Martin, 58, for over 20 years, and the couple has two children together.
She announced their split in February 2018, citing irreconcilable differences.
Their divorce was finalized in December 2020.
Duane Martin announced his engagement to Ashley Marie Jones in February.
Kendrick Lamar Gives Surprise Speech at 2024 Compton College Graduation
The post Kendrick Lamar Gives Surprise Speech at 2024 Compton College Graduation appeared first on Consequence.
Kendrick Lamar delivered a surprise commencement speech at the 2024 graduation ceremony for Compton College, marking his first public appearance since his high-profile feud with Drake.
Taking the stage during the midpoint of the ceremony, much to the surprise of the class of 2024, Lamar expressed pride for his city, and hope for the next generation. “I still believe in Compton,” he said. “Compton has always been the future for me. I think we breed some of the most incredible individuals, creators, intellectuals, talent. We had it since day one… I traveled the world, it’s no place like this one right here… I still believe in everything that we’re doing. Brick by brick.”
Continuing, Lamar turned his attention to the future. “It’s time that we change the narratives,” he said. “Some people tell us, ‘This generation don’t have what it takes, Gen Z.’ They try to pull us down and say we don’t know what we’re doing. They’re wrong though. You know why? Because not only y’all have what it takes, but y’all have something even bigger: y’all have the heart… Y’all can go out here and tell and express y’all thoughts and say it with conviction and passion and stand on it and be unapologetic about it.”
Elsewhere in the speech, Lamar shared advice for the graduates, encouraging them to continue to grow with humility. Watch a clip of the remarks below.
The speech follows Lamar’s feud with Drake, which spawned several chart-topping hits, including the knockout punch, “Not Like Us.” For more, be sure to revisit Toronto rapper DijahSB guest column for Consequence explaining why the feud is “karma” for Drake after “all the women he’s thrown under the bus.”
Netflix Is Ending 'The Upshaws'
Yet another Netflix series is coming to an end. According to TVLine, comedy The Upshaws has been renewed for a fifth and final season, dubbed "Part 7," which will consist of 12 episodes. News of the final season comes ahead of Season 4, "Part 6," which will premiere in early 2025 with 10 episodes. The Upshaws premiered in 2021 and renewed for Season 2 a month later, which was split into two parts. In October 2022, between Parts 2 and 3, Netflix renewed the show for a third season, again split into two parts. In December 2023, between Parts 4 and 5, Netflix renewed The Upshaws for Season 4, which brings us to the final renewal.
"Truly grateful to Netflix for giving us this season to once again bring the warmth and funny that we're known for (and with this fifth and final — some closure) to our Upshaws family," co-creator and executive producer Regina Hicks said in a statement. Co-creator and star Wanda Sykes also added, "A heartfelt thanks to Netflix for letting us send off The Upshaws with this fifth and final season. We are excited to give the show and the fans a proper farewell."
Also starring Mike Epps, Kim Fields, Diamond Lyons, Khali Spraggins, Journey Christine, and Jermelle Simon, The Upshaws follows "Bennie Upshaw (Epps), the head of a Black working-class family in Indianapolis and a charming, well-intentioned mechanic. He's a lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family — wife Regina (Fields), their two young daughters (Spraggins, Christine) and firstborn son (Simon), and the teenage son Kelvin (Diamond Lyons) he fathered with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis) — and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law Lucretia (Sykes), all without a blueprint for success. But the Upshaws are determined to make it work and make it to the next level, together. "
As of now, premiere dates for Seasons 4 and 5 have yet to be announced, but with fans given until at least 2025 to say goodbye, that should help a little bit. The Upshaws is one of the longest-running comedies on Netflix, but even good things have to come to an end at some point. In the meantime, the first three seasons are streaming on Netflix, which should keep fans occupied for at least a little bit, even if it's not for very long.
Bun B's Home Invader Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison After Pleading Guilty
Demonte Jackson, the man who attempted to rob Bun B and his wife Queenie in an armed home invasion in 2019, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison following the rapper's emotional testimony earlier this week.
On Friday (June 7), Houston's Fox 26 and CBS affiliate KHOU 11 reported on the lenghty sentence handed down to Jackson. The court's decision came a day after Bun took the stand and fought back tears while recalling the incident that took place in April 2019.
As reported, Queenie heard the doorbell ring and opened the front door, thinking an Amazon delivery person was leaving a package. To her shock, the person at the door was a masked Jackson, who forced his way into their home while holding a gun to Queenie's head.
Bun heard his wife screaming at Jackson to take the car and proceeded to grab his own weapon and head downstairs. Queenie pleaded with Bun to stay upstairs, as she felt Jackson was going to kill her, but he eventually went down to the garage and found Jackson sitting in the driver's seat of his wife's car.
The rapper fired several shots and hit Jackson in the shoulder. Jackson returned fire, and the two got into a fight before Bun grabbed the intruder's mask as he fled the scene. Jackson went to a hospital for treatment of his gunshot wound, and was later caught and arrested.
"There are times when [Queenie] gets closed off," Bun said in court footage shared to the public by Fox 26. "She can't communicate, and I just get so angry all over again because she didn't deserve this. She didn't ask for this."
Jackson was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery with a weapon and one count of burglary. He pled guilty to the charges and is now sentenced to four decades behind bars.

Adam Silver Apologizes to Inside The NBA Crew Amid Media Rights Uncertainty, TNT Still Attempting to Secure Fourth Package to Keep Beloved Show Alive
As the NBA season wraps up, the media rights that ESPN and TNT own are set to expire after one more season. Rumors have been swirling about a reported $76 billion deal involving ESPN, NBC, and Amazon that would last for 11 years. It’s being reported that ESPN would pay $2.6 billion per year, NBC would pay $2.5 billion per year, and Amazon would pay $1.8 billion per year.
Before the first game of the NBA Finals, Adam Silver took some time to apologize to the Inside The NBA crew. The uncertainty of TNT’s inclusion in the new deal has sparked rumors about a bidding war for Inside the NBA crew member Charles Barkley. A popular media figure, Barkley has claimed that he would not work without his running mate and podcast co-host Ernie Johnson, who is still under contract with Turner Sports for multiple years.
Barkley spoke on Mad Dog Sports Radio on June 4th about the lack of clarity for the Inside the NBA cast up until this moment.
“That’s the one thing that bothered me most about the TNT experience. Like, hey man, just tell us something,” Barkley said on the “Beadle & Decker” show. “Everybody’s got an article coming out every day about ‘we’ve still got a chance’ or ‘we’ve lost it.’ You guys see us every week. How ’bout picking up the phone and saying, ‘Hey, we’re still negotiating,’ or ‘you know what, we’ve lost it.’ Just trust us. Because the one thing that really sucks is that we gotta do this next year no matter what.”
The apology from Silver made sense. With a year left on the current media rights deal, clarity is a must. However, the Emmy award-winning show is a pillar in the Association and is the only show that fans have a level of passion for. A generation of fans since 1998 has watched Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, and Charles Barkley. SHAQ was the perfect addition in 2010, and the four have been one of the best things TNT has ever done within the sports space.
“I will say directly to your question and the people who seem to be most impacted right now, the folks at Turner Sports, I apologize that this has been a prolonged process. The show, in particular, is special. No one likes this uncertainty,” Silver told the media before Game 1 of the NBA Finals. “It’s on the league office to bring these negotiations to a head and conclude them as quickly as we can.”
However, according to a report from Front Office Sports, there is still hope. There is a fourth package available that would be a smaller-scale deal Turner Sports could pursue and lock down. This package would include a few playoff games and regular season games, ensuring that the Emmy award-winning program we love stays together.
Amber Rose Makes It Clear That She Will Still Vote For Donald Trump “I’ve been brainwashed, and I’m not anymore.”
Amber Rose is still voting for Donald Trump despite his recent felony conviction.
On Friday, TMZ caught up with the reality star in Los Angeles and asked about her views on Trump after declaring her endorsement of his campaign on social media. When questioned about her allegiance to the former president, the interviewer inquired why Rose chose to make a controversial move, especially since she’s a high supporter of women’s rights.
“Is Donald Trump not for women’s rights issues? He’s trying to make America great again,” she said. “That’s for women too, right?”
Shortly after, the interviewer then mentioned Trump’s convictions and questioned if that changed her opinion about him, to which she responded, “Nope, not at all. I will still vote for Donald Trump” before adding that his legal issues are helping his campaign.
“I think it helps him more. I think it helps him. I think people see the injustice in what happened and they wanna vote for him more than ever,” Rose added.
The conversation concluded with Rose explaining why she believes more celebrities are now deciding to vote for Trump as opposed to the past and claims they were “brainwashed.”
“I think we just did our research. We’re not brainwashed anymore by the left. I can say that about myself. All these years, I’ve been brainwashed, and I’m not anymore,” she concluded.
Last month, Rose took to Instagram to clarify who she will be voting for in the upcoming election. In the post, Rose shared a photo of herself alongside Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, with the caption “Trump 2024 ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ.”
