Is Kandi Going To Sue Phaedra?

"My eyes were tearing up while watching it, I just couldn't believe that she would go that far I knew we weren't cool anymore but for her to make something up and say it to the girls and say it on national TV like that---like come on, I know we throw shade at each other, but this is a whole new low. You can't just do that. [...] Okay, you wanna tear down my businesses, you're trying to come at me in a way where people won't respect me anymore. Clearly they was just trying to say whatever to take me down."

I was definitely worried because one of my businesses is Bedroom Kandi. People already wanna make sex look like it's something negative anyway so if you participate in anything like drugging---people won't' want to have anything to do with you. [...] You had to make up something because you couldn't find anything to really hurt me.

"Just to be clear for everybody, the day that Porsha and I had the sit-down and were cussing each other out on the patio, we knew we were gonna have that sit-down. So she knew it was gonna be a bad conversation---so basically, y'all [Porsha and Phaedra] got together the day before you was gonna have to face me and she told you that I tried to drug you, so that you could say this on national TV. She told you that so you would try to come at me with this fake info on camera. [...] Me and Porsha haven't even been hanging together in the past year, so how you believe that? And me and Phaedra haven't even talked, we've been on bad terms for the past few years."

"Yeah, I have thought about it. I have to talk to my attorneys and see how they feel I should handle the situation. They told me I should sue Porsha at first [but] when it came out at the reunion that Porsha got the information from Phaedra, I said let's hold up until they see the whole thing and I'll get their opinion on how I should handle it. Another thing, lawsuits are stressful. I'm already dealing with this lawsuit with Johnny."

Do YOU think Kandi should sue Phaedra???

"No [I don't feel sorry for Porsha], she knows good and dang on well I would never do that to her. I would have no reason to. So you didn't question it at all? You felt comfortable enough to say that on camera, the first time you ever say that to me?"

"Yes, she was gonna try to keep going like nothing even happened. Every time the subject came up, Phaedra has never said a word. Like when I got into an argument in Hawaii and I was pleading to Phaedra like, 'You know I would never do anything like that.' She was sitting there having that face like 'no you wouldn't.'"

"Last week when they talked about the rumors about Shamea. [...] Oh okay so you mad at Shamea so you made that one up, then you made up the whole Marvin story. They had said that my husband goes around New York telling women that his name is Marvin to meet women. People recognize Todd before they recognize me, on top of that since Todd's mother died he has not been to New York without me. He does not feel comfortable.

"This the part that really threw me off, when I saw Phaedra go into the room with Porsha. She was like 'Well you know, what if something would've happened to you then I would've felt bad.' And you still telling this girl, that? REALLY? I just couldn't believe she did that. Those sorrys did not mean nothing, she had no problem with putting those rumors out there."

Andy Cohen Says Phaedra Crossed The Line, She Had To Get The Ax

If you watched the last part of The RHOA reunion special on Sunday, there seemed to be an eery disconnect between Phaedra and the severity of lies spread about Kandi and Todd. Regardless of who was at fault for spreading the “drug & rape’ rumor to T.V. about the couple, Phaedra remained in the same state of hollowness, even when offering her apology.

Executive producer of the Real Housewives show, Andy Cohen spoke on the whole scene with US Weekly and about how he feels about Phaedra Parks’ behavior that day.

“I was just very surprised — not just by the revelation that Phaedra spread. I was surprised by her,” he said. “She seemed kind of withdrawn about it.”

A Page Six insider says cast and crew were DISGUSTED with Phaedra that day.

They were so disgusted with her. The entire cast and Andy agreed Phaedra would not be coming back next season. She dug her own grave. She’s considered a liability and will not be returning. Andy is upset.

Andy says he was really taken aback the severity of her lies. Radar Online reports from a source that Andy made a motion to get rid of her the same day after the Reunion show was taped.

“That was really the end of everything,” said the insider. “Andy [Cohen] will support any of the housewives until they cross a line and become truly unpopular, and Phaedra did.”

Andy does make a point about crosing the line. Maybe she needs some therapy. After going through her backstabbing divorce, feeling ‘abandoned’ by her friend and exposed as a compulsive liar, don’t you think a break from the show will be the healthiest decision???

Red Lobster Rolls Out Cheddar Bay Biscuit-Flavored Lip Balm

So, Red Lobster. It can be a polarizing place–the battle between it’s ardent defenders and unyielding critics is ongoing, but everyone can agree that Cheddar Bay Biscuits are phenomenal. Go debate your Trump-voting uncle.

As heavenly as those golden and garlicky appetizers are, some things just shouldn’t become flavors for other products. Like…lip balm for example.

According to MarieClaire, Red Lobster is offering up Cheddar Bay Biscuit lip balm to celebrate 25th years of movin’ that dough.

If you happen to think this sounds amazing, we’ve got some bad news. The only way to get the buttery balm is to sign up for the a frequent buyer club and win a goodie bag. Entry closed yesterday.

Consider our tardiness a favor.

Somehow, Stans will credit Beyoncé for this. We so blessed.

ScamFishy Teacher BUSTED For Lying About Viral Letter

Rod Blum, a Congressman from Iowa, demanded to be surrounded by black kids as he sat down for an interview. The reporter asked Rod about screening town hall attendees to make sure they were pro-Blum…and that’s all he could handle. He got up and refused to answer any more questions.

Besides all that… Why did he demand those black kids surround him like that?

Richard Simmons Sues Publications Over ‘Transitioning’ Claims

In White folk news…

Hollyweird has been playing this “find Richard Simmons” game for a while now, drawing speculation around why the once very social star disappeared from the scene. Now Simmons is suing two media outlets for spreading lies about why he was laying low. Both National Inquirer and Radar were served with papers over claims that Simmons was turning his manhood into womanhood. But, they didn’t come up with the story out of thin air, it was his own friend who sold it to them.

Page Six reports in the suit:

Simmons alleges that he has been blackmailed for several years by Mauro Oliveira, a former assistant and friend. The suit alleges that Oliveira went to the National Enquirer with three different explanations for Simmons’ withdrawal from the public eye in 2014. In May 2016, Oliveira allegedly told the Enquirer that Simmons was transitioning into a woman. In June 2016, the Enquirer ran a story claiming that Simmons “is now called Fiona!” Simmons’ reps strongly denied the story at the time.

The report doesn’t say what amount of money he’s suing over, it does say that Simmons claims to have lost “millions” in future revenue over the false reports. You think he’s still getting a bag that large over appearances??

Is Sister Solange Stepping On Hubby Hov’s Camel Toes Over Birth Of BeyBey’s Blueprint Babies?

So the latest rumors out of the Knowles-Carter family camp is that Solange and Jay Z are ready to throw hands again, this time over the birth of Beyoncé’s babies.

According to RadarOnline.com Solange and her brother-in-law, Jay-Z, are “at each other’s throats” over who should be by Beyonce’s side when she gives birth to twins in a few weeks.

“Solange has really been with Bey a hell of lot, doing prenatal yoga classes with her and rubbing stretchmark oil all over her,” explained the source.

However, “Jay’s insisting it’s his job to be there during the birth and wants Solange outside in the waiting area.”

“It’s turning into a real standoff and bringing up a lot of past ill will, which is probably why neither of them have thought about asking what Beyonce wants!” scoffed the insider.

Hmmmmm. We don’t know about this one. First of all, wasn’t Bey planning a home birth this time around? That should mean there are no limits on who can be in the room. Both Solange and Jay Z can attend the birth. Second of all, as close as Bey and Solange are, you know damned well Hov ain’t keeping Solange out in no waiting area!

Black girl magic…

Chelsea Moore Is Bennett College’s Valedictorian

A Nashville, Tennesse native who graduated at the top of her class is making headlines. Chelsea Moore is a brilliant and beautiful Bennett College grad a.k.a. a Bennett Belle, who had a 4.0 GPA.

She also managed to have 7 internships throughout her college career and did so well with her studies that she finished in just 3 1/2 years instead of 4.
Chelsea recently chatted with BOSSIP about her success.

On her 7 internships:

“I first began interning the spring semester of my sophomore year. I had two internships: a virtual internship with Ignite NC, a not for profit organization in North Carolina that is committed to building up youth as leaders, fighting for social justice and bettering the world and I also did an internship with my alma mater, Bennett College in the Department of Communications.

The summer of my sophomore year I landed two more internships. The first month I interned with Fletcher Rowley, a political advertising, marketing and public relations agency, the following month I interned with personal finance guru, Dave Ramsey.

The fall semester of my junior year I continued my internship with Bennett College, but I was promoted to serve as the Assistant to the Chief of Marketing and Communications at the time. The summer of my junior year I interned with CNBC. The fall semester of my senior year I interned with Hornets Sports and Entertainment, formally known as the Charlotte Hornets.

In December, I landed a virtual internship with Harlem Girls Cheer, Inc., a not for profit organization that seeks to enhance the 360-degree development of minority girls and young women, ages 8-18, through cheerleading.”

On managing her college curriculum with interning:

“The summer internships were obviously not so hard to manage because I was not in school, but interning during the semester was pretty rough! When I first began as a sophomore, I was a resident assistant, the managing editor and a contributor to the Belle Magazine, contributor to the Bennett Banner, took 17 credit hours, and was also an intern for two organizations. Fall semester of my junior year I was the host the school’s news show that I created during the end of my sophomore year, The Weekly Ring, took 20 credit hours (to ensure that I would still graduate early as I prepared to study abroad), and worked a minimum of 20 hours a week as the Assistant to the Chief of Marketing and Communications.

I thought interning during my senior year would be a breeze because I had fewer credit hours, but it was a challenge as well. Working for the Hornets was demanding due to the number of games and events they had on a daily/weekly basis. I remember during mid-terms, I took three exams in one day and worked the season opener which required 12 hours.

The most challenging part about interning during the semester was the deadlines. There were times when everything was due at once. At times I grew overwhelmed and just wanted to give up, but I didn’t. Having interned with several organizations was rewarding because it exposed me to the many practice areas within communications and gave me valuable hands-on experience as a student.

Interning with more than one place at once disciplined me and I learned how to prioritize, especially when dealing with close deadlines. As a result, I’m able to turn out quality work much faster and endure pressure. Through it all I wouldn’t change the challenges I faced. My freshwoman year I said I wanted to “eat” and that’s exactly what I did.”

On her new job with the world’s #1 PR firm:

“In July, I will begin a six month trainee program with Edelman, a leading global communications marketing firm.”

Congratulations Chelsea!

Trump Fires James Comey As FBI Director In Wake Of Clinton E-Mail Mistake

The the low-budget soap opera that has become the United States of America continues to present plot twist after plot twist.

After effusively praising FBI director James Comey for bringing down the hammer on Hillary Clinton during the election, orange Fanta POTUS has decided that he no longer needs him.

Like so many Apprentice contestants, and several folks on the executive staff, Trump fired James Comey today with this statement read by Sean Spicer:

Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office. President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” said President Trump.

A search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately.

Comey came under fire yesterday when the FBI released a statement rebutting the idea that Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, had forwarded “hundreds of thousands of emails” to her then-freak-a-leek husband, Anthony Weiner. According to ThinkProgress, the Bureau’s statement clarified that only “a small number” of emails were accidentally forwarded to Weiner.

Then comes the fact that despite Trump’s best effort to purport innocence, Comey confirmed that the FBI was indeed investigating Trump for his alleged collusion with Vladimir Putin and the Russians to interfere with our election.

Sounds like anyone who thinks Trump might be a shady, dirtbag, scumbucket, is going to get the Ned Stark treatment (spoiler alert) OFF WITH HIS (or HER) HEAD!

Who’s President mans is this?!?

Beyonce Wants To Keep Father Mathew Knowles Out Of Delivery Room

“She is fearful that he’ll show up uninvited like he did with [their five-year-old daughter] Blue. She doesn’t want him anywhere nearby on her special day. She fully expects everything to be perfect as they become a family of five.”

"[They] prepared an A and a B team as decoys to confuse photographers and fans, and everyone signed confidentiality agreements. Jay and Beyoncé have also been arguing with the hospital about the use of security cameras. Jay doesn’t want cameras in the room, hallways or elevators, which is an impossible request...they also made a plan to have everything fully catered so they don’t have to socialize in the hospital.”

“[Tina] isn’t easy to get along with, and she will be even more demanding than Beyoncé. Jay knows to let her take over and stay out of her way.”

Phaedra Reveals The “Source” Of The Kandi Rumor

Looks like just about ALL of those stories about the RHOA reunion are shaking out to be true.

If you’ll recall, rumors swirled that not only was Phaedra booted from the show but that she took a member of production down with her, claiming that all the Kandi rape/drug BS came from HIS mouth, originally.

Now a Bravo insider is reporting to Page Six that Phaedra did indeed try to loop production into her slanderous hearsay, bu Andy and crew shut that isht down quickly:

“Phaedra tried to blame producers for manipulating the scenario, and it was cut from the reunion show. They’re not allowed to break the ‘fourth wall’ and talk about production. It may not have been entirely Phaedra’s fault, but she has to take the fall.”

A source close to Phaedra also says the editing made her look crazy(er?) due to the lack of mention of who her “source” for the information was…

“[It was] a producer who told her the drug and rape story, which she repeated to another cast member. It snowballed. The editing was not kind to her.”

Sounds like she really did try to peg that nasty rumor on Carlos King…

However, a Bravo rep insisted that “Production is not involved” in Phae’s fanciful tales.

SMH! Phaedra is really still riding this lie, huh? She did say she’ll never let anyone see her sweat…
