Wendy Williams Appears “Very Sharp” In New Footage From Family Wellness Day

by

In recent months, fans have heard countless concerning reports about beloved former talk show host Wendy Williams. In February, it was revealed that she’d previously been diagnosed with dementia and aphasia. Lifetime‘s controversial docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams? also gave viewers a look at some of her lowest points, leaving them worried about her current state. Her guardian Sabrina Morrissey accuses the doc’s producers of exploiting Williams, describing her as “permanently incapacitated” in a lawsuit against A+E Networks this month.

Fortunately, it looks like Williams is in better condition than many of her supporters previously believed. Earlier this week, she was spotted at her son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s college graduation ceremony. She wore a big smile as she supported him from the crowd, and even went out afterwards to celebrate. Based on footage shared recently by the We In Miami podcast, she was in good spirits, enjoying Jamaican food, giving out Christmas gifts to her family members, and more.

Wendy Williams Enjoys Day With Loved Ones Just In Time For The Holidays

“She was mentally very sharp,” host Stunt Lifestyle said of the event. “I didn’t see any signs of mental decline. I had several conversations with Wendy. She was cracking jokes, she made everybody laugh… It was the Wendy that we all know and love. Her family really pampered her. They had a whole wellness day, mani-pedi, private chef, everything. She had so much fun. She appeared to be physically in good shape too, she had a scooter for her foot, but she got up and she was walking around.”

This isn’t the first time Williams has been spotted looking well recently, however. Earlier this month, she was also seen picking up some food from the restaurant Sho’nuff Oysters in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She smiled as a fan recognized and greeted her from the back of a black SUV, seeming cheerful and put together.

Wendy Williams All Smiles At Son’s Graduation Ceremony Amid Reports That She’s “Permanently Incapacitated”

by

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Wendy Williams is suffering from dementia and aphasia. This news arrived just days before the release of Lifetime‘s controversial docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams? Since then, there have been various concerning reports about the beloved former talk show host’s condition. The latest arrived last month. In a court filing obtained by the New York Post, her guardian Sabrina Morrissey said she “has become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated.”

This left her supporters concerned, but recently, Williams was spotted out at her son’s college graduation ceremony. There were only a few brief clips and photos captured of the personality at the event, but she appeared to be in good spirits as she supported Kevin Hunter Jr. This isn’t the first time this month fans have seen her out and about, however.

Wendy Williams Supports Son Kevin Hunter Jr. At Graduation

Last week, she was spotted picking up some food from Sho’nuff Oysters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She sat in the back of an SUV, smiling as a fan greeted her. These sightings have come as a relief to Williams’ fans, who are glad to see her looking happy and healthy. Sabrina Morrissey’s legal filing came amid her legal battle with Lifetime over their aforementioned docuseries about Williams.

She alleges that doc producers “cruelly took advantage of [Williams’] cognitive and physical decline by creating and publishing a documentary at a time when [Williams] was highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to be filmed.” Late last month, The Sun reported that Lifetime and its co-defendants accused Morrissey of misusing her authority to try to block the release of the documentary. They alleged that she was doing so in an attempt to protect herself from scrutiny.

Diddy Seen For The First Time Since Arrest In Leaked Courtroom Footage

by

Diddy is currently behind bars in New York facing various charges including alleged sex trafficking, racketeering, and more. Shortly after his September arrest, he pleaded not guilty to all charges. In leaked footage obtained by MediaTakeout, he can be seen doing so next to his attorney in a crowded courtroom. When asked whether or not he’d had a chance to review the indictment, his attorney confirmed he had. Diddy then stood up and said “not guilty” after the judge asked him if he was prepared to enter a plea.

This is the first glimpse the public has caught of the mogul since he was taken into custody. It arrived just after his legal team filed a motion accusing prosecutors of violating his right to a fair trial. The motion references a raid of Diddy’s prison cell that was conducted in October, during which authorities allegedly photographed confidential legal notes. His team is asking the judge to dismiss the indictment entirely or disqualify prosecutors involved in reviewing the notes.

It also comes shortly after some of his previously anonymous accusers were forced to reveal their identities in order to move forward with their lawsuits. One of these individuals was Anna Kane, the ex-wife of NHL athlete Evander Kane. She issued a statement yesterday (December 6), in which she described her decision to continue pursuing justice.

“I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager,” her statement reads. “Defendants’ demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me.” In her suit, she alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Diddy and his affiliates in 2003 after being flown to New York. She alleges that she was a high school student at the time, and had yet to turn 18.

Drake Turns Up With Travis Scott In New “100 GIGS” Footage Amid Supposed Beef

by

Drake and Travis Scott are arguably hip-hop’s two biggest hitmakers right now, so their collaborative bond should come as no surprise. Moreover, this is a relationship that the former highlighted on his @plottttwistttttt IG burner, part of his “100 GIGS” content drop series. In the clip, they both vibe out at a party to the tunes of their “P***y & Millions” collab off Drizzy’s 2022 21 Savage joint album Her Loss, as well as “Beast” by Golomp. However, many fans were particularly interested in this clip because of the supposed beef that the “SICKO MODE” duo has with each other now.

For those unaware, this theory emerged amid Drake’s various 2024 beefs with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, and more. Fans thought that Travis Scott picked a side with his actions, although his subsequent shoutouts to Drake hint toward this just being a speculative assumption. As such, it’s hard to fully get a grasp of what’s going on here and what their relationship looks like now. Apparently, fans will need some more concrete evidence to really set this rumor aside.

Drake & Travis Scott At A Party

Also, this is particularly curious because of Drake’s other content that he shared via this “100 GIGS” platform. For example, he also included a classic clip of Kanye West crediting him with inspiring his Watch The Throne collab album with Jay-Z in 2011. Another video shows the Toronto superstar linking up with J. Cole to buy a whole lot of Born Sinner copies at a Best Buy in 2013. Given the complicated history that he shares with Ye and Cole, it stands to reason that this footage with Travis Scott could also function along this bizarre and potentially shady line, reflecting on the allies that he lost on the way.

Nevertheless, this is all just the latest stop on the gossip train, so take this all with a grain of salt. It’s still ironic, especially as Travis Scott’s Kendrick Lamar collab “goosebumps” just went Diamond. So we’ll see whether Drake or La Flame ever fuel these rumors or if they quell them outright. Until then, all we can do is guess.

Thomas Matthew Crooks Identified On Body Cam Following Donald Trump Assassination Attempt

by

Bodycam footage taken by Secret Service agents reveals the aftermath of Thomas Matthew Crooks’ failed assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign on July 13, ahead of the Republican National Convention. Trump survived, escaping the situation with nothing more than an ear injury, which came when the bullet grazed him. One rally attendee died, and two more were injured. Since the assassination attempt, questions about the poor security job arose. The Department of Homeland Security began a probe into the Secret Service on July 16.

Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa posted new footage of the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt. In the footage, which was taken by a Secret Service agent’s helmet camera, the security personnel on location are talking through what took place. The grisly footage shows what appears to be an agent standing on the roof with several law enforcement officers. They are attempting to make sense of the timeline of events. Viewers can see the blurred, lifeless body of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at various moments.

“For the past 10 days, questions have only been building regarding the catastrophic security failure that occurred on July 13,” said Senator Grassley in a statement. “Federal agencies, particularly the Secret Service, have failed to be transparent with the American people. This assassination attempt is a matter of significant public interest, and the public’s business ought to be public. I’m releasing these records as part of my efforts to get answers and hold agencies accountable.” Grassley is not the only politician demanding answers. Trump himself issued a similar demand for accountability on his Truth Social page.

Following the assassination attempt, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle announced her resignation. After receiving heat for the security breakdown that took place on July 13, the media and citizens alike speculated that she would not remain in that position for much longer. Lawmakers from both parties called for her resignation, and she did not wait long to do so. President Biden announced that he would fill her vacancy soon. The Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris said that his authorities warned the Secret Service about Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop. It is not yet clear when the miscommunication occurred. Law enforcement is working to make complete sense of what happened that day.

Mase Explains Why He Hasn’t Commented On Diddy Footage, Reveals Plans To Do So

by

Out of all the people who are commenting on the Diddy scandal, especially after the Cassie footage, there is one name who hasn’t been as outspoken as some folks may have assumed: Mase. The former Bad Boy artist has voiced his fair share of disagreements, critiques, and outright animosity with the label’s boss in the past over business and personal matters. Of course, it’s not like he particularly held back when it comes to this recent wave of abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking claims against Sean Combs. But the It Is What It Is cohost hasn’t said much about that new hotel video, and explained why on Tuesday (May 21) on his show.

“I’m saving my takes for the documentary. If y’all wondering how I feel, it’s coming soon, pause,” Mase said on It Is What It Is. Previoulsy, he had reacted to a lot of the Diddy developments with about the same level of shock, intrigue, and side-eye as everyone else. However, the Jacksonville native might have more particular things to say about this new footage in question, or just recently signed onto a long-form project on the Puff case. Either way, it’s a curious choice.

Mase Refrains From Speaking On Diddy & Cassie Footage

Meanwhile, Cassie recently shared an appreciative yet heavy message following the response to the footage of her and Diddy. “Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” it started. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie continued. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Cassie Allegedly Hides From Diddy Under Blanket In Resurfaced Footage

by

Yesterday (May 17), CNN released exclusively obtained footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie at a hotel. In the footage, the Bad Boy Records founder seemingly kicks her multiple times, later attempting to drag her back to their room. The disturbing footage is now making its rounds online, and unsurprisingly, many think it’s the smoking gun the public needed to make up their minds about the mogul.

For those who don’t recall, Cassie sued Diddy late last year, accusing him of sexual assault, domestic violence, and more. The footage appears to corroborate some of her allegations, though the suit was settled almost immediately after she filed. The now-viral footage of Diddy and Cassie’s hotel incident may not be the only evidence out there pointing to his alleged abuse, however.

More Disturbing Diddy Footage Surfaces

In a resurfaced clip circulating on social media, Diddy shouts at someone hiding under a blanket, who many speculate could be Cassie. It’s unconfirmed whether or not she’s the individual under the blanket, though commenters find the clip unnerving, regardless of who it may be. At the time of writing, it’s unclear exactly when the footage was originally posted online, but it’s included in posts as far back as 2019.

Diddy has yet to address the footage that surfaced yesterday, though Cassie’s lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor promptly issued a statement. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light,” he said via email. What do you think of the newly surfaced footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016? What about this resurfaced clip of her allegedly hiding from him under a blanket?

Meek Mill Shares Frightening New Footage Of Car Crash Aftermath

by

Last month, Meek Mill found himself at the center of a lot of controversy, as it was rumored he was named in Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy. Amid all the drama surrounding the debacle, the rapper’s luck took yet another turn for the worse when he crashed his brand-new car. He took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of the damage to his vehicle, also revealing that he took it as a sign from God. “God telling don’t crash out for the bustas,” he captioned the image. “Ima listen sh*t knocked me out lol… gmc the whole brake pedal slipped off my first time driving smh.” For obvious reasons, fans were concerned. Luckily, he appears to have been mostly unharmed in the crash.

Yesterday, the Memphis-born performer took to Twitter/X to reflect on the frightening incident, unveiling never-before-seen footage of his damaged vehicle. “First day I bought this car no air bags … Brake pedal came off … with door open no safety effects … no laser censor working … this knocked me out bad, I was in park and the car started pulling off! I had this car for 4hrs maximum,” he captioned the clip.

Meek Mill also took the opportunity to inquire about Tesla’s huge Cybertruck recall. He noted how his non-Tesla electric car got him hurt, while Teslas have always seemed safe to him. “Wassup with these cyber trucks because I had another brand electric car ‘not Tesla’ do the same thing I crashed and got hurt bad,” he wrote. “The air bags didn’t even come out in a totaled car! Tesla has always been safe for me I tried some new sh*t and it almost killed me the first day!”

Blueface’s Mom Karlissa Saffold Explains Arrest As New Alleged Footage Emerges

by

Blueface’s recent alleged arrest is still pretty unclear, and it’s certainly a wild way to kick off his 2024. Moreover, unverified reports on social media and the Internet as a whole seem to suggest that it has something to do with parole violations for previous cases. Not only that, but these reports also have backing from someone pretty close to him– or at least, someone who is sometimes close and sometimes quite isolated. The California rapper’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, recently took to her Instagram Story on Friday (January 12) to speak out about this recent stint in the slammer as alleged footage displaying the arrest apparently made its way online. It’s unclear if the clip in question is from this 2024 instance or from another, though.

“Jaidyn got him one charge, Rock got him the one that violated the other,” Karlissa Saffold wrote of Blueface’s arrest. “That’s why it’s so quiet. Praying everyone now understands why I didn’t want them together. Because parents want the best for their children. I love them all but not together. Praying for everyone to listen to their parents [prayer hands emoji]. My baby is in jail and my heart is broken again. Because they don’t listen.”

Karlissa Saffold Reacts

Furthermore, in the clip of the alleged arrest that surfaced, we can see that it’s apparently just Blueface turning himself in for probation violations allegedly relating to an assault case involving Chrisean Rock in Las Vegas. Still, all this information is still early in the media cycle and relatively unchecked, so take it with a grain of salt. It’s very possible that we could find out there’s a different reasoning or situation behind all of this. Regardless, this wouldn’t be the first troublesome legal development for the 26-year-old this year.

New Alleged Footage Of Blueface Turning Himself In: Watch

In addition, he also has to deal with a couple of rap feuds bubbling up in his circle right now. One is with Soulja Boy, and the other is with NLE Choppa, which roped in family members, might turn into a boxing match, and has a whole host of antics attached. Not to say that the Soulja one is something light, but considering this recent update on prison time, perhaps everyone will take their foot off the gas… or have more excuses to rev it up. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Blueface.

42 Dugg Officially Freed From From Prison After Serving One-Year Sentence

by

Detroit MC 42 Dugg is now officially free from prison as of Monday, October 16. He was serving a one-year bout for failure to surrender himself. In addition, Dugg failed to serve a six-month sentence following a 2020 federal gun investigation. But, now he is free according to multiple reports. Throughout him doing his time behind bars, Dugg was still able to push out some single fairly regularly. Just a couple of months ago the rapper released “One Time.” His eagerness is already growing strong as it was reported that he wanted to immediately head to the studio.

It is a common thing for rappers to want to hit the booth to express their feelings of finally being released. Fans in theshaderoom’s Instagram post recognized this trend. One says, ““Took him straight to the studio” 😂😂😂 this every person in prison 1st move when they get out.” YG also was hyped to see that he was free commenting, “Ayeeeeeee.” What you will also notice below is that they got footage of Dugg being sent home.

Sources told theshaderoom that 42’s boss Yo Gotti, as well as his family and friends, came to pick him up. Gotti and Dugg took a picture in front of the massive welcome party of cars, including a Rolls-Royce. Both can be seen raising their middle fingers at the camera. What is also nice about Dugg being out now, is that he might be able to perform for the CMG Gangsta Art Tour that begins on November 22, according to TMZ. The first show takes place in Fort Worth, Texas.

What are your initial thoughts on 42 Dugg being released from prison? Do you think a new single is on the horizon after he requested to go right to the studio?
