Andrew Tate’s Security Calls Accusers “Young & Stupid”

by

The explosive case developing against Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan has become a worldwide phenomenon. The brothers were arrested last month in Romania after authorities claimed they were leading an organized crime operation. It is alleged that the Tates coerced women into believing they were dating before forcing them to create pornographic content for their online channel.

Andrew Tate established himself as a self-described misogynist social media influencer. Following his arrest, an audio clip of Tate telling a woman he “loved” sexually assaulting her was released. In an interview with the BBC, Tate’s head of security, Bogdan Stancu, said he only witnessed his boss ask for women to leave, not stay.

According to Stancu, he saw more than 100 women visit the Tates’ home within his two-year employment. He claims he was even advised to “physically remove women from the Tate house,” reports the BBC. However, “no force was ever used.”

The security guard further stated that the way Andrew Tate presents himself to the public doesn’t match how he is behind closed doors.

“Some of the girls misunderstood the reality and believed [they would] be his next wife,” said Stancu. “When they realized the reality, it’s easy to transform from a friend into an enemy, and make a statement to the police.”

While this seems to align with the police’s assertations that Tate coerced the women, Stancu remained dedicated to his employer.

“I never doubt Andrew,” he also said. Stancu called the accusers “young and stupid.”

Additionally, Stancu claimed that Tate was constantly worried about someone coming after him. He was asked if it was all paranoia.

“I would not say ‘paranoid’ but something similar, maybe,” Stancu answered. “He wanted to have a normal life and couldn’t – maybe it’s normal to be a little bit more paranoid.”

Meanwhile, it was reported that $4 million in cash, cars, jewelry, and other assets were seized by authorities.

Kim Kardashian’s Prison Reform Efforts Continue As She Meets Solitary Inmates

by

Is there anything Kim Kardashian doesn’t do? In between promoting her various brands and products, snapping Instagram photos, and attending glamorous events, the mother of four has little free time in her personal schedule. On top of her responsibilities as a socialite, she’s also got the countless hours she pours into her dream of becoming a lawyer.

As she follows in her late father’s footsteps, the reality star has made it known that prison reform is a matter of great importance to her. She’s previously aided in the pardoning of Alice Marie Johnson, as well as getting clemency for Cyntoia Brown.

Matthew Charles and Jeffrey Stringer also had help from Kardashian and her legal team. In fact, they once saw the release of 17 prisoners in just three months thanks to their efforts.

Some of those who the California native has crossed paths with were on death row. According to TMZ, she’s now been spending time with inmates who are living in solitary confinement. Early last week, she took a trip to Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent, CA along with a camera crew.

Also joining her was Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire, and The Hangover executive producer, Scott Budnick. It’s worth noting that the latter made a documentary on incarcerated teenagers in 2016. Another project is now in the works, sources say.

Kardashian, for her part, reportedly hopes to gain a better understanding of inmates’ mental health while living in solitary.

That same day, cameras caught the KUWTK alum at a restaurant near Pelican Bay. She was chatting with locals while watching her private jet pull up to the airport.

Since then, Kardashian has been back in mom mode, prepping for her youngest daughter, Chicago’s birthday party. As Page Six notes, the event was Hello Kitty-themed and included giant slides, a ball pit, a grilled cheese station, a waffle cart, and a milkshake bar.

Check out all the excitement in the TikTok below, and come back later for more pop culture updates.

Cardi B Talks Takeoff’s Death, Plastic Surgery, Quavo’s “Messy” & More With Jason Lee

by

The five-year anniversary of Cardi B’s debut album, Invasion of Privacy, is quickly approaching. Unfortunately for her fans, a release date is not yet set for her sophomore effort. Still, many have their fingers crossed we’ll see it arrive in 2023.

For the most part, the New York native has been in full mommy mode as of late. Since welcoming her second child with Offset, Wave, last year, she’s been prioritizing family time with her husband and their daughter, Kulture. However, recent photos reveal that she’s returning to the studio. This sent social media into a frenzy this past weekend.

Cardi often gives glimpses of her life on her own Instagram and Twitter pages. However, the interviews she gives are few and far between. As she seemingly prepares to step back into the world, though, the mother of two sat down with Jason Lee to answer a few burning questions.

For the first episode of his REVOLT show, the Hollywood Unlocked CEO got candid with his long-time friend about plastic surgery. She’s always been candid about her past with cosmetic work, and this conversation was no different. In fact, failing to do proper research into a non-surgical nose job led her to regret the process that “f*cked her nose up.”

After filming the “WAP” music video with Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi opted to go for a professional rhinoplasty. Though she’s had several procedures herself, the 30-year-old made it clear that they weren’t out of insecurity. Rather, a desire to achieve a certain image for herself.

Following Wave’s birth, the “Lick” hitmaker spent seven months waiting to get her body done. According to her, she had to wait for her surgery to be able to “pop out” again the way fans have been begging her to.

Additionally, Cardi reveals where she was when she learned of Takeoff’s passing. “Was was in bed,” she recalls. “We was going to go to La La’s party in New York, and my daughter threw up all over my costume… We just fell asleep, and out of nowhere, Offset’s phone kept ringing, mine kept ringing.”

She went on, “Offset picked up the phone and he’s just like ‘No!’ screaming [over and over].” When his wife asked him what was wrong, the rapper responded, “Takeoff is dead.” Upon hearing the news, she apparently smacked him and begged him not to say something so horrible.

The Migos member continued to throw things, vomit, and run around the house, leaving Cardi scared. “It was terrible,” she admitted. “Everything was so triggering.”

Elsewhere on The Jason Lee Show, Cardi B gets real about her struggles with anxiety, being an introvert, and her thoughts on Quavo’s “Messy” track with Takeoff. Check it out below, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

Michael B. Jordan Rumored To Be Dating Again After Split From Lori Harvey

by

One of Hollywood’s most previously beloved couples is moving on from each other. Moreover, rumors spread of Michael B. Jordan dating model Amber Jepson after his ex Lori Harvey went public with actor Damson Idris. According to a new report, the 35-year-old grew close to the British model while spending more time in the UK.

According to The Sun, the actor’s time in England is owed to his partial ownership of the AFC Bournemouth soccer club, which he netted last year. Also during his visits, he formed a relationship with the 26-year-old model. However, reports indicate that they’re still in the early stages of a romance.

Moreover, the publication’s sources claim that the two went on several dates together whenever he stopped by. Also, the Creed star allegedly commented on some of her social media posts.

“It’s early stages but Amber and Michael are really keen on each other,” one insider stated. “They make a handsome, cute couple and are both financially independent. Watch this space.” Many said the same about Jordan and Harvey, even as cheating rumors surfaced online. Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee confessed that he even asked Harvey about them after gossip circled on social media. Even with their break-up, it’s still up in the air.

While Jordan is reportedly having some fun of his own, the news comes just days after his ex took that step first. On her 26th birthday, Lori Harvey publicly confirmed her relationship with Snowfall actor Damson Idris. Moreover, the 31-year-old posted a picture of him kissing Harvey on the cheek on his Instagram story. The caption read “Happy Birthday Nunu.”

Later, onlookers spotted the couple at the socialite’s celebratory party in Los Angeles. While guests included Kendall Jenner, Lizzo, Justin Bieber, and more, Jordan’s also building up star power. Furthermore, he recently announced that Dreamville, the J. Cole-led rap collective, will executive produce Creed III‘s soundtrack.

What do you think of Michael B. Jordan’s reportedly dating again after his split from Lori Harvey? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest celebrity gossip and relationship rumors.

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Are Couple Goals In New Birthday Party Pics

by

In 2022, news of Lori Harvey’s sudden breakup with Michael B. Jordan nearly broke the internet. The two made their red carpet debut in the early months of the year. However, before Hot Girl Summer began, they went their separate ways. Since then, she’s largely been focusing on herself – but with a new year, comes new love.

Technically, rumours of the model’s flirtation with Snowfall star Damson Idris began circulating online in December of last year. At the same time, it was said that the 26-year-old allegedly has every man she dates sign an NDA that comes with a $1 million fine for any slip-ups.

Of course, it wasn’t long after the headlines were circulating that Harvey and Idris went out together in person. Ahead of the holidays, they met up for a date night in West Hollywood. Afterward, he was quick to gas up her stunning portrait on the cover of Essence magazine.

Within the accompanying profile, the Memphis-born beauty chiefly talks about wanting to create an identity for herself. She’s previously been in the headlines mostly for her dating life. In the past, she’s been linked to names like Future, Trey Songz, and Justin Combs, among others.

Even with her aforementioned comments, Harvey seems eager to let the world know about her latest lover. In celebration of her birthday on January 13, the English-born entertainer posted some sweet photos of his rumoured boo on his Instagram Story.

The social media starlet reposted them – along with countless greetings from other close friends – to her own page. Surprisingly, the romantic gestures didn’t stop there.

All weekend long, photos have been popping up online from Harvey’s birthday extraordinaire, which went down in West Hollywood. Friends like Lizzo, Justine Skye, Tyler, the Creator, and Kendall Jenner stepped out for the occasion, many of them posing for photos together.

On Sunday (January 15), the entrepreneur was feeling ready to recall her party’s events. Throughout her photo dump, we see several pictures of her and her new man, dressed to the nines as they spend the night in great company.

Christian Combs On “Nepo Baby” Discourse: “Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown”

by

From the outside looking in, being a part of a nepotist circle doesn’t sound so bad. For simply being a famous person’s baby, you get to reap the countless benefits of celebrity status, and likely have no shortage of job opportunities coming your way. Of course, the discourse has shifted recently, with mass wealth (and keeping it in the family) becoming harder to stomach as the cost of living continues to rise.

One of the latest stars to face questions about their “nepo baby” status is obviously Christian “King” Combs. Last week, TMZ caught up with Diddy’s son at LAX, where they asked him how he’s been dealing with the pressure and critics.

“You must be so sick and tired of this debate everyone’s having,” a journalist told Combs as they walked through the airport. “Everyone’s coming for kids of famous people and nepotism.”

In response, the 24-year-old calmly said, “Not really. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. We’ve got a big legacy to fill. Right now? Bad Boy? We number one!”

Of course, the reporter had to press for more. “Do you feel any sort of way about benefitting from your dad’s success? Or like just is what it is?” he asks King. “How do you feel about being born into a lucky situation?”

“I feel like I’m blessed,” the rapper earnestly tells the camera. “We gonna take the legacy far, Bad Boy for life.” Finally, when sending out a message to any of his haters, Combs referenced his latest single. “Can’t stop, won’t stop, never stop. Just stop hating! That’s it.”

While outsiders may be hating on King and his famous family, they’ve been busy with the newest addition – Love. The little one was born to 28-year-old Dana Tran last year, though Diddy didn’t announce her arrival until October.

The baby’s big brother shared a heartwarming photo of them together on Instagram last week. Check it out below, and tap back into HNHH later for more pop culture updates.

The Game’s Daughter Links Up With Diddy’s Twins, Rapper Says He “Needs More Kids”

by

As our favourite artists get older, so have their kids. Many who opted to have children in early adulthood are now the parents of teenagers. As it turns out, some of the youngest generation – or “nepo babies,” as they’re now frequently known – have begun forming friendships of their own.

Over the weekend, Drillmatic rapper The Game took to Instagram to share a snapshot of his little girl, California Dream, in a gorgeous light pink dress and Vivienne Westwood necklace. Standing on either side of her are Diddy’s twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, wearing matching black and white outfits.

“@Diddy, our girls have become beautiful young girls,” Jayceon Terrell Taylor wrote to his friend in his caption. “We need to have a family meeting ASAP!!!! I’m not playing ’bout ’em in no way, shape, or form!”

Afterward, The Game added, “I need more kids, [call] Nick [Cannon] for advice lol.” Presently, the 43-year-old is a father of three – his other two kids are named Harlem Caron and King Justice.

Cannon, of course, has an infamously large family, consisting of 12 babies from six different women. His first two, Monroe and Moroccan, were born during his marriage to Mariah Carey. After that, he and Brittany Bell began their brood (they now share three). Twins with Abby De La Rosa followed shortly after.

In 2022 alone, The Masked Singer host welcomed five new babies with Bre Tiesi, Lanisha Cole, Alyssa Scott, and two aforementioned past partners. Of course, none of this is easy to manage, but the entertainer frequently talks about how much of a blessing his children are to him.

Elsewhere in the news, The Game found himself rushing to his daughter’s defence just a few weeks ago. At the time, she was facing criticism for the outfit she wore to Jessie and D’Lila’s Sweet 16 party.

“I’m gonna say this once so people who aren’t her parents get it. My daughter is 12 & both of her parents are more than strict. Tiffney is a school teacher with a master’s degree & 2 other degrees who is an amazing parent & is very capable of raising our daughter to be great even if I wasn’t in the picture,” he wrote in @theshaderoom’s comment section last month.

Iggy Azalea’s OnlyFans Earns $307K In 24 Hours: Report

by

After years of posting twerking content online for free, Iggy Azalea has finally taken the advice of some of her fans by joining OnlyFans. The Australian recording artist shared the big news last week. It came along with a spicy video setting the tone for what’s to come.

“SURPRISE! I’m dropping a mixed media project called ‘Hotter Than Hell,’” she wrote to her 16.9M Instagram followers. “There’s photographs, visual art collabs, videos, merch & all kinds of aesthetically pleasing, hot as hell things happening this year. You can get first-look content + updates on my new OnlyFans account.”

In the accompanying visual, Azalea films herself in bed while wearing lingerie. Her flirtatious gaze meets the camera on more than one occasion. At one point, she encourages a young male viewer to chat with her while she’s live. “YOU’RE HOTTER THAN HELL,” he quickly writes back.

The days since have seen the “Fancy” hitmaker sharing more sultry snapshots on IG in hopes of directing people to her OF. From the sounds of things, the promotion is working. DJ Akademiks is claiming that the rapper made upwards of $305K on the content-selling website in just 24 hours.

While some users on the platform charge just a few dollars, Azalea is asking for $25 per month. Of course, she’s amassed no shortage of fans for various reasons throughout her career. It definitely wouldn’t be surprising to see them pay up in exchange for exclusive content.

The mother of one has neither confirmed nor denied the latest rumours herself. However, she has been sharing more teasers on IG. On Sunday (January 15), she dropped off a polaroid that sees her posing in a green string bikini.

Azalea’s curvaceous hips and chest are on full display in the photo. “I heard you were looking for me…” she wrote in the caption, earning nearly 600K likes since it was posted yesterday.

While she’s clearly making money moves on OF, that’s not the only major flex Iggy has under her belt as of late. In late 2022, she sold her portion of her music catalogue in an astounding eight-figure deal.

D.L. Hughley Says Dwayne Wade & Gabrielle Union Shouldn’t Be Surprised By Reactions To Zaya Wade

by

D.L. Hughley recently sat down for a lengthy interview with none other than DJ Vlad.

In typical VLADTV fashion, the 59-year-old certainly ends up opening up about a number of controversial topics.

“I think two things can exist; I think that I can respect the love and protection that they feel [as parents]. I think loving your child without recriminations is required of us. It’s also disingenuous to believe that people aren’t gonna have an opinion to that. If you make these things public, people there are people [who are] gonna have public assessments of it, so I can’t fault you for loving your child and protecting them and being proud of them, and equally, I can’t fault people for having an opinion” says the actor in a clip of their talk.

“Listen, to me, you’re not grown until you leave my house. If you’re still going to a pediatrician, if you need my permission to go to a movie, then I’m going to have a say in what happens. If you believe that isn’t how you want to run your family, I have no choice but to respect that,” he continues afterwards.

Of course, this all stems from Gabrielle Union coming to the defense of her stepdaughter, Zaya Wade. In 2020, the 15-year-old publicly came out as transgender.

In a resurfacing clip of an interview that the actress did with Jemele Hill, she calls out Boosie Badazz for continuously speaking on Zaya. “He’s so pre-occupied. It’s almost like, thou doth protest too much, Little Boos. You got a lot of d*ck on your mind,” says the She’s All That actress.

In response, the “Set It Off” rapper took to his Twitter account. “LOL!! THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW I LOVE WOMEN N THE WORLD KNOW YOUR HUSBAND LOVE D*CK!! I HOPE U DONT THINK BLACKS LOOK AT YALL LIKE A POWER COUPLE THEY DONT!! I HAD REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT YALL IN INTERVIEWS N HEAR YOU GO!!” he explicitly writes in a tweet from December.

Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Spend More Time Together After Denying Romance

by

Pete Davidson’s love affairs with Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski were obviously left in 2022. Still, it seems the comedian is carrying one of his previous flings into the new year. In the last few weeks of the year, the Saturday Night Live alum was seen with Chase Sui Wonders. However, they denied any romantic involvement at the time.

After attending a hockey game together following his split from the High Low podcast host, Davidson and his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar hit the town together once again this weekend.

According to Page Six, on Friday (January 13) they went out in New York City. Paparazzi caught photos of them parking an SUV on a side street. Both of them wore layers to keep warm from the winter air.

For her part, the 26-year-old went bold with animal print pants and a unique scarf. Her date, on the other hand, opted to blend in with his surroundings by wearing neutrals.

It remains unclear where the rest of the evening took them. We do know they were eating at Baba’s Pierogies in Brooklyn just last week. Customers in the shop at the time reportedly saw Wonders wrap her arms around Davidson. Other sources additionally claim to have seen the pair exchanging a few kisses.

Of course, The King of Staten Island star has established himself as something of a ladies’ man in Hollywood. Prior to Ratajkowski and Kardashian, he was engaged to Ariana Grande and has also dated Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, and Cazzie David, just to name a few.

He’s still in his late 20s and doesn’t seem desperate to settle down anytime soon. However, Davidson made it known this past summer that having kids one day is a “dream” of his.

“[I’m] definitely a family guy,” he told Kevin Hart at the time. “My favourite thing ever – which I’ve yet to achieve – is I want to have a kid. That’s like my dream.”
