MeToo Movement Archives - New Hip Hop News

The final few weeks of the year are known to be a chaotic time for many as holiday preparations are underway across the globe. We’re still seeing plenty of Christmas cheer in 2023. However, it’s sadly less exciting because of the near-constant grim headlines breaking this month. Besides deadly conflict unfolding between various nations, the entertainment industry also has a sudden influx in troubling sexual assault and harassment allegations coming out at this time. It all began with Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy that the Bad Boy mogul quickly settled. In the weeks since, some prominent figures connected to Sean Combs are also being #MeToo’d, including Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Earlier this week, a TikToker (@jusnene) shared a video about the religious personality that went viral. In the clip, the content creator claims that Jakes was previously sexually active with numerous men at Diddy’s parties over the years. According to reports, the bishop is a “power bottom,” meaning he prefers to be in charge in the bedroom, but takes pleasure in being the receiver of sexual pleasure. These NSFW allegations are leaving many internet users shook, but not everyone is buying them.

“I can’t believe y’all believe that T.D. Jakes s**t,” rapper Lil Duval wrote early this morning (December 22). In response to this, someone on Twitter argued, “As many pastors as we see involved in sex scandals, it’s not out of the question… Y’all put these pastors on high pedestals.” Elsewhere, others sided with Duval. “You can get Black people to believe anything,” and “Exactly! We have been so conditioned and programmed to self-hate. It’s a shame!” are among popular comments under the OP.

As more concerning allegations about T.D. Jakes and other prominent figures come out, it’s the perfect time to educate yourself on how these people rose to such heights of fame, and what they’re being accused of.

She continued: “With music, it’s like everybody is being paid, and everybody’s a crooked cop. So, it seems like nothing will ever really come to a head.” Palmer says that women have to learn to stand up for themselves from “being in bad situations.” She added: “It almost feels like it’s a coming-of-age story for a woman.”

“Being a woman is like, ‘Damn, the biggest mistake you can make is trusting somebody.’ Damn, I just shouldn’t have trusted someone?” she explained. “I wish that there was more that we could do, but it seems like we can’t even really expect for people to respect our boundaries.” Palmer noted that she’s nearly left the music industry entirely but seems to always “somehow find herself back again.”

The origin of the MeToo movement traces back to sexual assault victim and activist Tarana Burke on MySpace in 2006. The phrase was started to raise awareness about abuse, harassment, and rape culture. It became a viral hashtag in 2017 as countless women came forward to expose predatory behavior in Hollywood.
