Chrissy Teigen Has Done It Again and Twitter is Not Happy
Published
3 years agoon
Friday evening model Chrissy Teigen tweeted what many considered an insensitive joke about rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
By now, you know that Meg was shot at a recent pool party at which Tory Lanez, also a rapper, and Kylie Jenner were in attendance. Based on the various social media posts (and deletes) from Meg, her friend, who was also at the party, and others, we can infer that Tory is the alleged shooter. For some reason, even though this woman is the victim of a violent crime and has come out publicly to say she is not okay and needs space to process and heal from what happened, people keep coming for her, making light of her situation.
Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own. It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized.

Enter: Chrissy Teigen.
The model, who is no stranger to Twitter drama, hopped on a trend of punny jokes that had been circulating all day. Puns like “I have an archaeology joke but nobody digs it,” “I have a journalism joke, I’m sorry to report” were the general gist of the thread. Chrissy Teigen, apparently thought tweeting “I have a megan thee stallion joke but it needs to be twerked on” was along the same lines.

Naturally, Teigen knew she would get blowback for her tweet because she immediately told the internet she loves Meg. Less than a half hour later, she was doing what she does best: whining about the just criticism she receives after she does or says something problematic – only this time, she took her temper tantrum up a notch by making her account private.
That didn’t stop the internet from dragging her well into Saturday. Look at some of these reactions.
I am curious about the refusal to shut the fuck up that plagues Chrissy Teigen. Girl, we get it. You think misogynoir is hilarious. You want to aim it at little Black girls everywhere (hopefully outside your house but who knows?) and generally we all ignore you. Because John.

Her ridiculing of Black women and girls is not new…I remember how she mocked Quvenzhané Wallis, that dear sweet child, & others…

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week.
In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.
Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his “whole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everything” were burned.
Prayers for Rolling Ray 🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/d6PwlLbrlI

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.”

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss y’all 🥺! See y’all soon, if this what Karma feels like she should’ve came harder because I’m alive while others still dead. God loves me 😍! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says
Published
3 years agoon
January 6, 2021
In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California.
A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.
For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
