Aunjanue Ellis is Living Her Truth ‘I Am Queer — This Is Who I Am’

Although it has never been a secret to her friends and family ‘King Richard’ actress Aunjanue Ellis opens up about being bisexual.  “The way that I live my life, around the people that I live my life around, I am public about it,” Ellis says. “I’m very clear about being bisexual. I have a sweatshirt that says ‘Girl Bi’ that I wear everywhere.” she said in a statement to ‘Variety’ In her 30 years of acting,  Why is her sexuality now the topic of discussion? Particularly in a world where every aspect of one’s life is discussed, in her  “Nobody asked.” She told Variety.  She even went as far as wearing it on her sleeve (literally), at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.  With the word “Queer” spelled out in rhinestones emblazoned on the left arm of her red-hot Dolce & Gabbana suit jacket.  But no one on the press line outside the Beverly Wilshire hotel asked Ellis about it. Ellis also says that its been it’s been Black women in the entertainment business who’ve said the most injurious things to her about queerness, with no regard for her sexuality. For reasons Ellis can’t quite put her finger on, people fail to recognize she’s part of the LGBTQ community.  Who has gone as far as  to send a mass email to her colleagues (she didn’t mention any names) regarding homophic remarks they’ve made “I was like, ‘Look, I love y’all. I appreciate my relationships and friendships, working and otherwise with all of you, but you need to know that I am bisexual,’” she recounts. “So when you say things, when you have felt your most intimate with me, that are queer-phobic, you are talking about me. And it hurts. “There is an assumption made of me — a presumption made of me. Is it because I’m a Black woman from Mississippi? Is it because I’m older?” she muses. “I don’t know what the mechanics are that goes into them not processing, or them not just being able to believe that in the same way I am Black, I am queer. This is who I am.” We are happy Anjanue is living her truth.

Quintin Brunson went to social last week shortly after the school shooting tragedy in Uvalde, Texas and made it very clear to fans of ‘Abbot Elementary’, a fictional Philadelphia elementary school and the show she created and stars in, that there will not be an episode now and in the near future about school shootings  “I want people to understand the flaw in asking for something like this.” She stated. After the May 24th Shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers, Brunson said she was inundated with messages asking to incorporate a school shooting into “Abbott Elementary’ episodes after she Tweeted her thoughts on the school shootings saying “Sick to my stomach tonight over the love affair America has with guns. I read about gun violence often.  My city and family have been affected by it.  Gun violence is a constant, day after day problem.  Mass shootings are only part of it.  If you vote, demand more from the people you elected to change laws.” According to Brunson, multiple fans then asked for a school shooting episode of the show. She then went back to twitter stating “Wild how many people have asked for a school shooting episode of the show I write.  People are that deeply removed from demanding more from the politicians they’ve elected and are instead demanding ‘entertainment.’ I can’t ask ‘are y’all ok’  anymore because the answer is ‘no’,” wrote Brusnson on twitter,   She also shared an anonymous request from her fans and then replied asking her followers to “Please use that energy to ask your elected official to get on Beto time and nothing less,  I’m begging you.

There have been 27 school shooting in the US this year and 119 since 2018,  The second  season of Abbot Elementary will premiere this fall on ABC.

Last night Keyshia Cole went live on Instagram to talk to her fans about her ill fated relationship with NFL free agent Antonio Brown. The Grammy-nominated artist took to Instagram to discuss her relationship with the free-agent wide receiver, days after he shared a video on Instagram speculated to be of Cole showing off a lower back tattoo of his initials.

After recently sharing her new ‘AB’ tattoo on her lower back. Cole took issue with the caption of Brown’s video, which read: “You Ain’t Pimpin Until You Hit An RnB Diva. #FreeAgent #KeepPimpin.”

“It was a little harsh,” Cole said in an Instagram Live with celebrity stylist EJ King. “Maybe he doesn’t know that it was a little harsh for him to say that. Even me speaking to him, he was like, ‘Do you want me to change the caption?’ And I was like no, I don’t want you to change the caption.”

King called the caption “a little insensitive,” adding that if Cole told Brown the latter, “You’ll start to resent him if he’s not in a place of receiving what you’re trying [to say].”

Now AB is telling Keyshia to keep his name out of her mouth…

In a live stream from Dubai Antonio says, “We don’t want you Keyshia” and calls himself a player. He also calls Keyshia a clout chaser and said she hit him up to do something, they did it and that was it and now he wants her to leave him alone.
Watch the mess unfold below.

SOURCE SPORTS: Adam Silver Says the NBA Has Teamed with the WNBA to Work on Brittney Griner’s Release

Adam Silver on NYC Mandate Keeping Kyrie Irving Out of Home Games

WNBA star Brittney Griner has her pretrial detainment in Russia expended for one month earlier this week. On Tuesday night, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed he is working alongside WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert in an effort to bring Griner home.

Silver was on hand at the NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago where he spoke to ESPN‘s Malika Andrews and revealed the league is assisting, but listening to experts to not attempt an aggressive approach.

“We’ve been in touch with the White House, the State Department, hostage negotiators, every level of government and also through the private sector as well,” Silver said. “Our No. 1 priority is her health and safety and making sure that she gets out of Russia.”

Griner is believed to be wrongfully detained in Russia after allegedly being in possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil.

“That consular official came away with the impression that Brittney Griner is doing as well as might be expected under conditions that can only be described as exceedingly difficult,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in Washington. “But sporadic contact is not satisfactory. It also may not be consistent with the Vienna Convention to which Russia has subscribed.”
