Kanye West Once “Saved” A Dancer From Sexual Harassment

by

A former backup dancer of Kanye West has claimed that the rapper once “saved” her from sexual harassment. “Of all the crazy headlines that always go up about Mr. Kanye West, I will always have a personal soft spot for him. I genuinely think he’s a good dude. I used to be a background dancer for Mr. Kanye West many, many years ago. It was when he came to Australia for the Splendour in the Grass show,” the woman began. She went on to explain that at the afterparty, she was being pressured to twerk by the other guests. However, at this point, she revealed that Kanye came to her rescue.

“Then out of nowhere, Kanye literally like bursts through them and was like, ‘Bro she said no!’ And I was like whoa! And he was like, ‘She said no, so stop asking her to do it alright?’ And they were like, ‘Okay, sorry bro!’ and they like backed up. And he came and sat next to me and he was like, ‘Look, if you don’t wanna do it, that’s fine. They’re just being dicks. You don’t to do anything – just have fun chilling!’ And I was like, oh my God! In that moment I felt really, really unsafe – like there was a bunch of guys asking me to do something that I didn’t wanna do and Kanye told him to back off!” she revealed.

Kanye And Bianca Censori “On A Break”

However, it’s not all good news for Kanye at the moment. Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori are reportedly “on a break”, according to sources who spoke with The Daily Mail. Censori allegedly returned to her native Australia without the rapper earlier this month at the behest of her family. According to the paper’s source, Censori’s family has been begging her to leave Ye for some time. This comes after previous reports that Ye had turned the architect and Yeezy staffer into a “radicalized version of Kim Kardashian“. Furthermore, her family and friends became increasingly concerned throughout the couple’s recent months-long trip to Italy. Additionally, it appears their breaking point was reports that Ye had imposed a strict set of rules for Censori to live by.

“Her family has never been a fan of Ye, and those close to her have questioned whether marrying him was the right decision. He has been a lot happier and more focused with her around, but I think the relationship has taken its toll on her a bit, with everyone having their opinion. She may go back to him for the album launch. She loves the lifestyle, but I think it’s clear her family and friends would rather she didn’t,” the paper’s source claimed.

Lizzo Spotted For The First Time Since Lawsuit News

by

A few weeks ago news broke that shocked pop music fans as a whole. Three of Lizzo’s former dancers went public with accusations of sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile workplace against the “About Damn Time” singer. In the weeks since more allegations have come out from various former dancers. To counter that some of the remaining Big Grrrl and Big Boiii dancers released a statement backing the singer last week. While she has been out of the public eye as much of this unfolds, she was just spotted for the first time seeming mostly unbothered by it.

TMZ caught up with Lizzo heading into a recording studio in Hollywood recently. She didn’t make any kind of statement about the allegations and kept it pretty brief with the cameras. “I’m okay, I’m good” she responded when asked about how she’s holding up. She followed it up by saying “I’m in the studio right now” and nodding when asked about whether new music was on the way. Her last new album Special dropped last year. It was on the resulting tour in support of the album that much of the alleged workplace harassment took place.

Lizzo Spotted Hitting The Studio

One of the biggest pieces of drama following the allegations came from Beyonce. Just a few hours after the news hit Beyonce skipped over LIzzo’s name in a performance of the Queens Remix of her song “Break My Soul.” While many fans interpreted it as some kind of diss, Bey’s own mother Tina Knowles quickly set the record straight.

After Tina clarified that there were no hard feelings and fans were reading into lyrics too much, some still weren’t convinced. Beyonce herself shut the rumors down for good recently at a concert in Atlanta. She took the opportunity to say “I love you, Lizzo” during the performance. What do you think of Lizzo seeming unbothered while she casually hits the studio amid her ongoing lawsuit? Let us know in the comment section below.

Michael Irvin Allegations Become Public, Lawyers Refile Lawsuit

by

Michael Irvin has been embroiled in an incredibly confusing situation. According to reports, Irvin was covering the Super Bowl in Arizona when he was suddenly stripped of his duties by the NFL Network. Overall, this was due to allegations made by a worker at the hotel Irvin was staying at. Initially, there were no details on what the allegations were. It was very unclear as to what Irvin was being accused of. Consequently, he and his lawyers decided to file a $100 million lawsuit against Marriott for false allegations.

Subsequently, a judge forced Marriott to hand over footage from that night. Eventually, Irvin’s lawyer watched the footage and held a press conference stating that Irvin did nothing wrong. Moreover, Irvin had some very strong words about the situation. “This takes me back to a time where a white woman would accuse a Black man of something and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law, run in the barn, put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang him by the tree,” Irvin had said.

Now, however, Irvin’s lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss the initial lawsuit in Texas. This is ultimately because they want to file this lawsuit in Arizona. Although, as TMZ reports, the identity of Irvin’s accuser has been made known to his legal team. Furthermore, the exact allegations are now public. As the outlet reports, Irvin allegedly asked his accuser “whether she knew anything about having a ‘big Black man inside of [her].’” It was also alleged that he told her he would come to find her later that week.

Today, Levi McCathern, Irvin’s attorney, is set to showcase the footage to the public. This could very well sway public opinion in regard to this case. However, it is unknown whether any audio from the interaction will be made public. This continues to be a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates.
