Sha’Carri Richardson Blasts American Airlines, Threatens Legal Action

by

Travelling via plane lately has been anything but easy for a number of reasons. Around the holidays, poor weather and planning left countless people stranded at airports across the country. Now, even celebrities seem to be having trouble on planes. Specifically, several stars are facing issues while boarding American Airlines flights.

Most recently, Sha’Carri Richardson was taken off a flight after an altercation with an attendant. On Saturday (January 21) footage from the moment she was allegedly threatened by a man she refers to as “John” began making rounds.

“Tell me if I’ll be wrong to pursue legal actions against [American Airlines],” the 22-year-old wrote in her caption. “Not only did the man threaten me, but also an innocent bystander who simply just wanted a picture with me. At the beginning of the video, you can hear a Caucasian male state that he ‘doesn’t give a F as a man that [a] male flight attendant is intimidating a woman.’”

Richardson further explained, “Also the captain not doing anything to help the situation and this flight attendant has applause when I exited the plane. I’m pretty serious the disrespect would not have happened if I was one of them.”

As Yahoo Sports reports, before leaving the plane she got off the phone at John’s request. She later told him that she “didn’t like the tone he used.” Afterward, he apparently continued to look at her phone, later demanding that she show him. In one video, she records herself, talking about going on a vacation. The attendant’s face suddenly appears in the frame and seemingly reaches in her direction.

“I’m recording me but you jumped in my video, so I caught you because you jumped in my video,” Richardson tells him. “You’re harassing me at this point, so I think you should stop.”

As the footage of the tense dispute continues to circulate online, Odell Beckham Jr. was quick to drop by the comment section. As you may recall, he went through a similar situation while flying with the same airline.

At the end of November, he was escorted off a Miami flight after attendants claimed he was “in and out of consciousness.” In response to Richardson’s post, he wrote, “TELL ME [YOU GOT] KICKED OFF THE AMERICAN FLIGHT FOR NO REASON.“

In other news, late last year Gillie Da King also called out American Airlines for racially profiling him. At the time, the entertainer was facing accusations of carrying illegal narcotics.

Chrisean Rock Reflects On Her Anger Issues In Therapy: “It Is What It Is”

by

Since they first got together, Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s relationship has been nothing short of tumultuous. Luckily for them, it’s also made for entertaining reality TV, as we’ve seen play out on their Crazy In Love show.

With new episodes airing every Sunday, the on-again-off-again pair has brought plenty of eyebrow-raising antics to screens both big and small. Recently, there’s been plenty of feuding between the rapper and his mother, as well as the usual bickering between the starring couple.

This weekend, Blueface took it upon himself to suggest therapy for him and Rock. It’s no secret that the duo has had their share of physical altercations in the past, and their verbal abuse is, at times, near constant.

Though the 22-year-old was resistant to the idea at first, she eventually gave in and sat down with Dr. Ish for a candid conversation. In a video circulating online, the reality starlet alternates between sipping liquor and a red bull as her therapist speaks.

Initially, they discuss Blueface and Chrisean tells the doctor that he has “a great heart.” He responds by pointing out that her man’s lack of commitment seems to be a trigger point for her. “You’re in love, and when stuff happens that looks like it’s threatening that, it hurts your feelings.”

“Yeah, and I flip out,” she admits. “I might do certain things to get his attention, but that’s only because I want it my way.”

Dr. Ish then asks his client to elaborate on her “flip outs,” which are undeniably extreme sometimes. In response, Rock says that her behaviour is likely to have her put in jail.

“We want that to not happen, you know what I mean?” the therapist asks as the Baltimore native takes a shot. “But the type of n*gga he is,” she responds with a laugh, “it got to happen.”

“Does it though?” Ish questioned Rock. “I don’t know,” she says back. “Do you like it like that?” he asks her. “It is what it is,” she concludes.

In other news, Blueface was recently asked about his thoughts on Drake following Chrisean Rock. The 26-year-old claimed that the Canadian is “infatuated” with him, among other things.

Alec Baldwin’s “Rust” Shooting Charges Don’t Include Director Joel Souza

by

Over a year after cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins tragically lost her life on the film set of Rust, Alec Baldwin – who set off the deadly weapon – is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. The reactions to this news are incredibly polarizing. Some are insisting that the 30 Rock alum doesn’t deserve the potential punishment.

Interestingly, the same bullet that killed the Ukraine-born creative also struck the movie’s director, Joel Souza. He was injured, but thankfully survived the unfortunate incident.

While he’ll possibly face repercussions for Hutchins’ death, the District Attorney says Baldwin won’t be in trouble for shooting Souza. According to the Santa Fe DA, “there’s no crime” in the latter. The only way to categorize what happened is “unintentional battery,” which doesn’t exist.

Battery requires intent, as TMZ notes. The DA also said that “Baldwin had no intention to hurt anyone.” Rather, the charges he’s facing are due to his alleged recklessness.

The outlet spoke with Douglas Stewart, who was filming on the Rust set before Hutchins’ death. Earlier this weekend he gave an interview TMZ Live, telling hosts that in the decades he’s been in the industry, it’s never been standard practice for an actor to check the chamber. In fact, he claims they’re prohibited from doing so. Instead, they usually rely on the armourer to ensure things are running safely.

If this case goes to trial, Baldwin’s attorneys will likely use this argument, stating their client was following an on-set custom which wouldn’t constitute recklessness.

As you may know, the 64-year-old was also an Executive Producer on Rust. During his interview, Stewart alleged that this was mostly to earn back-end profits, and not because he was “running the show.”

The actor’s formal charges will likely come prior to the month’s end.

Watch a digital reenactment of the Rust shooting in the video below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on Alec Baldwin’s potential punishment in the comments.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Travel To Australia To Meet Her Family: Report

by

Slowly but surely, more details regarding Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s relationship are reaching the public. According to a report from The Herald Sun today (January 22), the rapper may be travelling to Australia to meet his new wife’s foreign family.

The happy couple “will spend time in Ivanhoe, east of the CBD, where Censori grew up,” the outlet alleges. As you may recall, the 27-year-old and her beau were reportedly married at a private ceremony at a resort in Utah earlier this month. Since then, they’ve both been sporting luxurious rings to symbolize their union.

Sources have made it clear that the wedding was real for both Censori and West. However, a marriage certificate might not exist, meaning it may not have been legal.

According to Daily Mail, the architect is originally from Victoria. Her LinkedIn profile reveals that she attended Carey Baptist Grammar School. After high school, she and a friend named Irene launched a jewellery company called “Nylons.” The idea came as the two girls were making chokers and bracelets for themselves from Swarovski crystals. Eventually, they realized that their creative hobby had serious business potential.

Censori kept this project up while studying at the University of Melbourne from 2013 to 2017. The last two years of her Bachelor’s degree also saw her working as a design consultant at the furniture design company Kelektiv.

The brunette beauty continued her education as she pursued her Masters in Architecture at DP Toscano Architects. By November 2020, she was ready to move on to better things, leaving Australia behind to work for Yeezy in Los Angeles. She was brought on by West as the Head of Architecture, and they’ve obviously since built a close working relationship.

After her relationship with the father of four went public, Censori promptly deactivated her social media profiles. Hopefully, in the future, she’ll begin to share more of the pair’s life together with fans.

Elsewhere in the news, sources say that Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian “hates” Censori. Sources initially claimed that the tension between the two is because of the latter’s good looks.

However, those reports were shut down by others stating that the socialite isn’t paying attention to the drama. Read her apparent thoughts on the recent romance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Beyoncé & Blue Ivy’s $24M Dubai Performance Videos Are Circulating Online

by

The BeyHive was more than ecstatic when their favourite vocalist dropped off her RENAISSANCE album last year. In the months since that project’s arrival, it’s been in constant rotation for many as they prepare for the mother of three’s upcoming tour. She won’t be hitting the road quite yet. However, Beyoncé did take to the stage for the first time in years this past weekend for a stunning live performance in Dubai.

The Austin Powers actress was recently hired for an hour-long set in the United Arab Emirates. Her show at the Atlantis The Royal hotel evidently brought in upwards of $24 million. While that’s an undeniably major flex, it’s worth noting that those numbers have no official confirmation.

As TMZ reports, ahead of Saturday’s (January 21) show, several videos surfaced online revealing the zip-up bags patrons were expected to keep their phones in during the performance. This has consequently become common practice for many comedians who prefer to keep their material fresh for each audience.

The venue was sharing a live stream prior to the show as well. Some of the footage even previously captured the audio of Beyoncé’s rehearsals. However, it was promptly shut off when the Houston native made her grand entrance, in hopes of preserving the luxurious show’s privacy.

Even with all the security measures, attendees still managed to capture clips of the “Telephone” hitmaker singing. She gave a rousing cover of Etta James’ “At Last” before carrying out classics of her own like “XO” and “Brown Skin Girl.”

For the latter, Blue Ivy Carter surprisingly joined her mother on stage. The two are no strangers to putting on a show together, and husband/father Jay-Z was in attendance in a private box, showing his support with a bird’s-eye view of the magic unfolding below.

Aside from her beautiful voice, the internet has also been gushing over Queen B’s incredible yellow dress. As per usual, she looked worth every single penny she was paid for the concert.

Check out more videos from Beyoncé’s Dubai performance below. Afterward, tell us if you plan to attend her forthcoming RENAISSANCE tour in the comment section.

Young Dolph’s Murder Suspect Released From Jail, According To Officials

by

Over a year after the tragic murder of Young Dolph, one of his alleged killers is no longer in jail. FOX13 Memphis shared the news on Friday (January 20), revealing that Shundale Barnett is presently a free man.

The accused criminal was arrested this time last year at an Indiana gas station in connection with the gruesome killing. At the same time, his believed co-conspirator, Justin Johnson, was also taken into police custody. According to U.S. Marshals, the former was in the passenger seat of the car during the shooting, while the latter was the driver.

Barnett actually bonded out of the Tarrant County Jail in Fort Worth, Texas on Christmas Eve. Before that, he spent time in the Clay County Jail.

As AllHipHop notes, a third suspect, Cornelius Smith appeared in Shelby County criminal court yesterday. He and Johnson are both looking at new charges of conspiracy in the late rapper’s death. A conviction could mean anywhere from 15 to 60 more years in prison for the men.

Aside from the recently added charges, both alleged killers are facing first-degree murder, weapons possession, and theft. Barnett, for his part, is an accessory after the fact.

As his friends, family, and fans continue to mourn their loss, those Dolph left behind are doing their part to keep his legacy alive. Earlier this month, a pop-up museum came to New York City, honouring the fallen star.

“The goal of the pop-up museum is to showcase the character of a leader and businessman, and to highlight the journey of someone whose early beginnings may mirror that of many young kids and entrepreneurs starting, so that they may draw inspiration to keep pushing on their own endeavours,” PRE CEO, Daddy-O explained in a statement.

Back in December, Paper Route Empire delivered Young Dolph’s first posthumous project. Key Glock, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Big Moochie Grape, and SNUPE BANDZ all appear on the album.

Alleged Idaho Killer Bryan Kohberger Previously Posted Chilling Raps On SoundCloud: Report

by

True crime fanatics are still desperately waiting for answers regarding last year’s University of Idaho stabbings. Now that Bryan Kohberger is in police custody, he’s waiving his right to a speedy trial. This means it will be some time until further details officially come out due to a gag order.

Internet sleuths have been obsessing over the investigation. Thousands of people uncovering hints and clues online promptly sent them to the police. Since the accused killer’s identity was shared with the public, they’ve turned their efforts to digging up as much history on the 28-year-old as possible.

In this handout provided by Monroe County Correctional Facility, 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger is seen in a booking photo after he was arrested on December 30, 2022 in Pennsylvania. Kohberger has been accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students – Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 – in an off-campus house on November 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho. (Photo by Monroe County Correctional Facility via Getty Images)

At this time, Kohberger has unofficial connections to a number of different social media profiles. There’s a Facebook account that was actively participating in a group of users attempting to solve the gruesome Moscow quadruple murder. A Spotify account with concerning playlists on which he was apparently following some of his victims is also making rounds.

As it turns out, the criminology major didn’t just enjoy listening to music. He also created and uploaded some of his own on SoundCloud. Earlier this month, the New York Post uncovered a profile on the website believed to belong to the alleged murderer. Its username is “Exarr,” and 11 years ago they posted an original song called “Rise up instrumental – test.”

“You are not my equal / You are evil but I’m devil,” the man believed to be Kohberger raps on the track. “End your life you get no sequel / Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls,” he later adds. The chilling release ends with “Don’t f*ck with us / You underestimate.”

The same username from SoundCloud appears on Kohberger’s accounts on other online forums. It’s possible that this may later appear in court as evidence. However, the trial isn’t due to begin until this summer.

Check out the video below for more recent updates on Bryan Kohberger and the University of Idaho murders. RIP.

Amara La Negra Follows Yung Miami’s Golden Showers Confession: “I Don’t Mind Getting A Little Pee On Me”

by

As a City Girl, Yung Miami has always been something of a trendsetter. While fans often attempt to emulate her designer fashion looks or perfectly beat makeup, others have been attempting to channel her raw – and sometimes NSFW – honesty.

If you tuned into the latest episode of the rapper’s Caresha Please podcast, you’ll know exactly what we’re referring to. The Florida-born artist sat down with Trina earlier this month. The duo spilled plenty of tea about themselves, including their kinkiest bedroom fantasies.

While playing a round of her Resha Roulette card game, Miami admitted that she enjoys golden showers, or being peed on. While the fetish isn’t exactly taboo, it’s one that’s not often talked about or admitted to, especially by someone in the public eye.

Since the new episode premiered a few days ago, the internet has had plenty to say about the mother of two’s confession. Summer Walker hopped in the comment section to ask, “I have genuine questions about this, no judgment. Like do you require a certain level of water intake before this or it doesn’t matter? I’m saying is it that clear [odourless] pee? Or that stankin’ dark yellow Hennessy infused perc 30 black n mild hot wing piss?”

Though she hasn’t got an answer yet, other stars have joined Yung Miami in speaking out about their preference for pee play. Among them is Amara La Negra, who shared the confession on her Instagram Story this weekend.

“Shoutout to all the bitches that love their golden showers,” she said with a laugh after mentioning the episode. “I personally love… I am team golden showers, I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with it!”

However, La Negra does add that it’s not something she would do with just anybody. “It has to be somebody that you really f*ck with, who you really are into. I don’t mind getting a little pee on me, you know what I’m saying?”

She proceeded to imitate gargling the urine before laughing again. “Don’t judge me!” she then yelled to viewers. “And if you do, I don’t give a f*ck! ‘Cuz it’s not gonna stop me from having my golden showers.”

Elsewhere on Caresha Please, Trina was questioned by Yung Miami about the infamous Missy Elliot rumours. Read what she had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Lil Meech Facing No Charges After December Airport Arrest

by

Lil Meech is best known for his work with 50 Cent on BMF. Last December, though, he made headlines for a different reason entirely. Mid-way through the month, the 22-year-old was at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Unfortunately, TSA agents uncovered a 9MM gun in a carry-on bag he put through the security scanner.

According to TMZ, it was actually the actor’s bodyguard who owns both the luggage and the weapon. At the time of the incident, airport employees were informed of the mix-up. They chose to ignore the guard and bust Meech because he had placed the problematic bag on the belt himself.

The Detroit-born star worked with Bradford Cohen on the case. The attorney was able to present indisputable evidence to Broward County prosecutors that the pistol belongs to the bodyguard. He shared the weapon’s purchase receipt, holding case, and permit for the firearm.

Additionally, the celebrity lawyer noted that Meech and his bodyguard have similar tastes in luggage. While they were rushing to catch a flight, the Taurus star accidentally grabbed his staff’s bag, apparently leaving his behind.

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office has since confirmed to TMZ that prosecutors are declining to file a misdemeanour charge against the rapper. This decision comes “because of the facts and evidence available in the case, and the statements made by [Lil Meech] and his employee.”

Upon hearing news of their friend’s arrest last month, famous faces like 50 Cent couldn’t help but tease the young star over his arrest. “What the f*ck! Lil Meech didn’t hear them say cut,” the “Candy Shop” rapper joked in a since-deleted post.

Power star Michael Rainey Jr. chimed in with, “When [tryna] prove ‘BMF’ is more realistic than ‘Power’ goes wrong.”

In other news Meech recently revealed exactly how much cash he dropped on his iconic BMF chain. The tea was spilt during the actor’s appearance on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” series.

Cher & AE Edwards Say Engaged Life Is Going Well

by

Cher & AE Edwards are one of pop culture’s most talked-about couples these days, and it’s not hard to see why. Moreover, the pop sensation has one of the most enduring and respected catalogs, and a 40-year age gap with her boo. Still, amid a slew of paparazzi and fans, Cher and AE Edwards said engaged life is going “okay.”

Of course, those are Cher’s words, but the two looked much happier than “okay” as they made their way to dinner at Avra in Beverly Hills. Given the paps’ request, they shared a few kisses and got all lovey-dovey. Furthermore, the “Believe” star flashed her diamond ring for all to see. However, may eagle-eyed viewers noticed on social media that she wore it on her middle finger.

Cher first shared the ring around Christmastime last year, captioning a picture of it on Twitter with “THERE R NO WORDS.” As such, many fans speculated on whether it was the real deal, or just some teasing.

Moreover, the couple first sparked rumors of a relationship in November of 2022. When people snapped pictures of them holding hands, the Internet lit up with bewildered or excited reactions. What’s more is that Cher often dismissed criticisms of their relationship’s age gap, and did so quite cheekily on social media.

“This should Send you Haters to The Part in Wizzard of OZ…” she wrote in a New Year’s post. “WHEN DOROTHY THREW WATER ON THE wicked Witch & Melted her.”

“I have had a couple boyfriends that were hovering around my age, but they just didn’t like me for some reason,” she told The Kelly Clarkson Show. “And maybe younger men don’t care if you’re funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things, and you have the strong personality. I’m not giving up my personality for anybody, okay?” Strong words from the Goddess of Pop.

Still, what do you think of Cher and AE Edwards enjoying the engaged life? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest news from your favorite celebrity couples.
