Shoutout to Jamal Bryant… but if y’all play that interview, somebody getting snatched off the pulpit,” he explained. “Don’t play the interview, it’s not cleared, it’s out of bounds. Me and Pastor Bryant need to talk because the way I was treated was dirty and illegal.”

Billboard noted that he was raised in an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian household before he mentioned his connection to God. “I think about giving up every day. But I also find purpose every day,” he said. “My relationship with God is stronger than ever. I find comfort in His presence when I need it most. I talk to Him constantly. It’s been a long journey, but I’m here.”

Wendy Williams Spotted in New Jersey Health Food Store After Year-Long Hiatus

by
cb

This week, fans of former talk show host Wendy Williams were thrilled when new pictures of her surfaced online. After being out of the public eye for over a year, the 60-year-old media icon was seen at Bolingo Balance, a health food store in Newark, New Jersey. The store is run by Victor Bowman, the son of the late Dr. Sebi, a renowned herbalist known for his holistic approach to health.

According to employees who were present during her visit, Williams appeared to be in high spirits, resembling her sharp, upbeat, and bubbly old self. “She was very engaging but wasn’t as familiar with what we do here, so her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., was more involved in explaining things,” one worker shared with Page Six.

During her visit, Williams had a sit-down with Bowman to discuss the health products offered at Bolingo Balance. She expressed an interest in improving her circulation but chose not to delve too deeply into the details during this first meeting. Plans were made for a future visit, indicating that Williams is committed to exploring holistic health options.

Bowman gifted Williams with a selection of holistic products, including iron-rich herbs like sarsaparilla, contribo, and bottano oil, which is highly recommended for skin health. Additionally, she received capsules from Dr. Sebi’s son that are said to promote overall hormonal balance and mental well-being.

On August 19, Bowman shared a photo of himself with Williams on his Facebook page, marking the occasion and reigniting public interest in the former radio queen. The picture has since circulated widely, with fans expressing their support and excitement at seeing Wendy looking well and engaged.

Wendy Williams’ appearance at Bolingo Balance suggests that the once-reigning queen of daytime TV is not only focused on her health but is also open to embracing holistic approaches to wellness. As she plans to return to the store in the near future, her fans are hopeful that this marks the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

Wendy Williams Makes Rare Public Appearance Appears ‘Sharp and Upbeat’

Talk show icon Wendy Williams was recently seen out and about in New Jersey. This marks a rare public appearance but thankfully has sparked positive reactions.

Obviously Williams is known for her long-running talk show, was spotted shopping at the Bolingo Balance shop, owned by Victor Bowman, the son of the late herbalist Dr. Sebi.

According to our friends at PageSix, Williams appeared “sharp, upbeat, and aware” during her visit, a significant update given her recent health struggles.

Williams’ son, Kevin Hunter Jr., accompanied her on the outing and assisted her throughout the visit. While Williams was reportedly “engaging,” it was noted that she was not entirely familiar with the products at the store, prompting her son to explain more about them. Items gifted to Williams included natural remedies like sarsaparilla, contribo, bottano oil, and capsules from Dr. Sebi’s collection.

This sighting comes amid ongoing concerns about Williams’ health.

ICYMI, in February 2022, she was placed under court-ordered guardianship after her bank, Wells Fargo, raised concerns about her well-being. The bank requested an inquiry, leading to a court decision to appoint a guardian to manage her finances, citing fears of “undue influence and financial exploitation.”

Get this, Williams publicly opposed the guardianship, asserting her independence in an interview. “They say that I need somebody to handle my account. And I don’t want that,” she stated. “I want all my money. I want to see all my money that I’ve worked hard for my entire life.”

But earlier this year, Williams revealed that she had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

That diagnosis is a big deal and almost identical to what famed actor Bruce Willis is suffering from.

Her diagnosis follows her previous battles with Graves’ Disease, Lymphedema, and other health issues. In response to her health challenges, her team released a statement, expressing that the decision to share her diagnosis was difficult but necessary to raise awareness.

Williams’ struggles have also been the subject of a recent Lifetime documentary, “Where Is Wendy Williams?” However, the film has been criticized as exploitative by her publicist, Shawn Zanotti, and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who described the project as a “blatant exploitation of a vulnerable woman with a serious medical condition.”

We’re wishing Williams the best and this sighting was certainly hopeful.

by

It’s no secret that Bobbi Althoff has come a long way since The Really Good Podcast blew up. The internet personality has sat down with some major celebrities for interviews, like Shaq, YG, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more.

Most recently, she chatted with NLE Choppa, and things got a lot more serious than one might expect. The 21-year-old performer is known for his raunchy lyrics and wild antics, but evidently, he’s also able to get deep when the situation calls for it.

“I tried to kill myself when I was 14,” she shared. NLE Choppa then revealed that he too has struggled with his mental health in the past. “I didn’t really give a f*ck about life at 14,” he said. “I think both is valid… I’m so glad you didn’t do that because look at you now.” Luckily, it appears as though Althoff is in a much better place these days, despite whatever obstacles might be thrown her way.

Since her rise to fame, for example, she’s been subject to nasty and unsubstantiated rumors that she sleeps with her podcast guests.

Accused Teen Shooter in PnB Rock Murder Found Unfit to Stand Trial

by
pnb rock

PnB Rock’s alleged shooter has been deemed unfit to stand trial, according to a recent ruling by a Los Angeles judge.

If you recall, the rare decision follows the 2022 murder of the rapper during a robbery at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles.

Get this, the judge determined that the young man accused of killing PnB Rock still lacks the “necessary competency” to participate in legal proceedings. “The recommendation is that the previous orders remain,” Commissioner Bradford stated. “The proceedings remain suspended, remediation continues.”

The trial is well underway and the ruling comes after Los Angeles County jurors heard opening statements in PnB Rock’s trial. The unnamed teenager, who was 17 years old at the time of the shooting, appeared in court on Friday. According to police, he allegedly walked into the restaurant after being dropped off, shot Rock in the chest, and then shot him again in the back after he fell to the floor.

Disturbingly, the teen’s father, Freddie Trone, and stepmother, Shauntel Trone, were also charged with accessory after the fact in connection with Rock’s murder. Here’s where their fate’s stand:

Freddie Trone has pleaded not guilty to murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit a felony. 

Shauntel Trone avoided trial by accepting a plea deal. 

And another man, Tremont Jones, has pleaded not guilty to charges of robbery, conspiracy, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. 

All senseless and disturbing. PnB Rock deserves justice. 

This may be resolved soon as a follow-up hearing has been scheduled for next month.
