USHER SOBRE LA CONTROVERSIA DE KEKE PALMER ¡APROVECHAMOS EL MOMENTO!

Published | Updated

Usher le está restando importancia a todas las consecuencias que causó su momento viral con Keke Palmer. Él piensa que toda la debacle fue sensacionalista por lo que simplemente utilizó la situación a su favor.

El icono del R & B se refirió al tema el martes en "The Breakfast Club" mientras explicaba las diferencias entre sus espectáculos en Las Vegas (como el que puso en peligro la relación de Keke) y su recién anunciada presentación en el medio tiempo del Super Bowl LVIII.

Le preguntaron si se sentía culpable por crear una cuña entre Keke y su novio Darius Jackson el pasado fin de semana del 4 de julio.

Usher culpa a Internet por hacer el anuncio, pero no se arrepiente de su reconciliación en forma de video musical "Boyfriend", protagonizado por Keke.

El mundo sigue pendiente de Keke y Darius, la actriz prometió recientemente el 5º en nombre de Beyonce en la televisión matinal.

En cuanto al Super Bowl, Usher dice que Jay-Z lo despertó temprano por la mañana hace una semana con la buena noticia, pero se hizo el tímido cuando le preguntaron acerca de los posibles invitados que se unirían a él en el gran escenario.

Nuestras apuestas todavía van por Jermaine, Justin y Jon en el escenario con él en Las Vegas.

NFL Star Chandler Jones I Was Forced Into Mental Health Hospital ... Injected With Substance

Published | Updated

Las Vegas Raiders superstar Chandler Jones claims he was forced into a mental health hospital last week ... and "injected" with a foreign substance.

The 33-year-old NFL player said it all happened after authorities told him "people were concerned about me because of my posts online."

"I answered my front door," Jones said Monday evening on his X page in what appeared to be pictures of recent journal entries, "and a group of 5 to 7 were there to put me in an ambulance where I was later injected and I asked them not to."

The pass rusher -- a two-time All-Pro -- says he was first taken to Southern Hills Hospital, before he was transported to the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital, a treatment facility for those struggling with mental health issues.

"They tried to force me to take meds and injections," he said of his time at the facility.

Jones added that the place was not one for "high-profile athletes."

"My first night I slept on the floor and was not offered a bed," he said ... adding, "I'm still confused on what I did wrong. I'm stuck here. I'm very sane."

In his notes, Jones claims he tried to contact the Raiders "for help," but he's yet to hear back.

He also said he's continuing to work out despite the facility's conditions.

"All I know is whoever put me in here had bad intentions," he said.

Jones has not played for the Raiders this season after he was placed on the non-football illness list following a social media rant earlier this month where he declared that he did not want to play for Vegas anymore.

For the team's part, head coach Josh McDaniels has called the matter "personal" and "private."

Jones first joined the Raiders last season after signing a 3-year, $51 million contract with the team.

ESTRELLA DE LA NFL "ME OBLIGARON A INGRESAR EN UN HOSPITAL PSIQUIÁTRICO"

Published | Updated

La superestrella de los Raiders de Las Vegas, Chandler Jones, afirma que la semana pasada le obligaron a ingresar en un hospital de salud mental ... y le "inyectaron" una sustancia extraña.

El jugador de la NFL de 33 años dijo que todo sucedió después de que las autoridades le dijeran que "la gente estaba preocupada por mí debido a mis publicaciones en línea".

"Respondí a la puerta de mi casa", dijo Jones el lunes por la noche en su página de X, "y un grupo de 5 a 7 estaban allí para meterme en una ambulancia donde luego me inyectaron mientras les pedía que no lo hicieran".

El pass rusher dice que primero fue llevado al hospital Southern Hills antes de ser transportado al Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital, un centro de tratamiento para aquellos que luchan con problemas de salud mental.

"Intentaron obligarme a tomar medicinas e inyectarme", dijo sobre su estancia en el centro.

Jones añadió que el lugar no era para "atletas de alto perfil".

"Mi primera noche dormí en el suelo y no me ofrecieron una cama" y agregó: "Todavía estoy confundido sobre lo que hice mal. Estoy atrapado aquí. Estoy muy cuerdo".

En sus notas, Jones afirma que trató de ponerse en contacto con los Raiders "para pedir ayuda", pero aún no ha recibido respuesta.

También dijo que sigue entrenando a pesar de las condiciones de la instalación.

"Todo lo que sé es que quien me metió aquí tenía malas intenciones", dijo.

Jones no ha jugado para los Raiders esta temporada después de que fue colocado en la lista de enfermedades no relacionadas con el fútbol después de un desvarío en las redes sociales a principios de este mes donde declaró que no quería jugar más para Las Vegas.

Por parte del equipo, el entrenador en jefe Josh McDaniels ha calificado el asunto de "personal" y "privado".

Jones se unió a los Raiders la temporada pasada tras firmar un contrato de 3 años y 51 millones de dólares con el equipo.

Native American Org Taylor, Help Us End Tomahawk Chop ... During K.C. Chiefs Games

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift is in tight with the Kansas City Chiefs now that she's linked to Travis Kelce -- and as a result of her proximity/influence ... one Native American group is making a big ask.

This all has to do with the famed "Tomahawk chop" that Chiefs fans are known to do during games -- which has become tradition -- to the chagrin of some activist groups, including one that was outside Arrowhead Stadium Sunday to protest the gesture.

This org is called Not In Our Honor, and it's headed up by Rhonda LeValdo, who was out there among other Native American activists and advocates with signage reflecting their demands ... namely, lose the chop and maybe even the team name.

She tells TMZ ... she and her group are making a direct plea to Taylor, now that she's got a seat at the proverbial table, saying ... "We remain hopeful that an outside influence like Ms. Swift could be an ally for us in moving the conversation forward on why the chop is a racist act."

LeValdo adds, "To us, that hand gesture is synchronized racism. We implore Ms. Swift to take the time to understand our perspective and the scientific and psychological research into the harm to youth and communities caused by such behavior."

Worth noting -- TS was on camera during one of the Tomahawk chops at Sunday's game ... but she didn't participate in it, despite many others around her doing so. Instead, she literally danced in place -- but it's unclear if that telegraphed how she feels.

The folks over at NIOH are hoping she's on the same page as them, with LeValdo further telling us she encourages people to read up on their history -- and that they realize the "Chop" is a continued mockery of their Native American heritage and past ... which is riddled with ugly chapters dating back to day 1, when their land was occupied by white settlers.

This issue is part of a much larger conversation as it pertains to sports. The Washington Commanders recently changed their team name amid mounting outrage, and ditto for the Cleveland Guardians. Until now, the Chiefs appear to have mostly escaped the criticism.

Welp, it's front and center now, and at least one org believes Taylor has the power -- and opportunity -- to do something about it.

'Bachelorette' Star Josh Seiter Checks into Mental Health Facility Month After Alleged Instagram Death Hoax

Published

"Bachelorette" contestant Josh Seiter says he's getting much-needed help to get a handle on his mental health after receiving an onslaught of hate following claims his Instagram was hacked after a post announcing his death was published on the account.

Seiter made the announcement Monday, telling followers he's logging off social media for good -- and checking into a wellness facility to address his mental health struggles.

Seiter says, "For the last month I've received hundreds of hateful messages and unending harassment related to my account being hacked. I wish I was stronger but I can't take any more ..."

He continues, "I am losing my phone in the next hour. I love you all. To the people sending me death threats, you win."

HACKER TAKEOVER

It was August 28 when a post went live on Seiter's account announcing his death. Many believed the post to be true, and tons of media outlets published the story. It was more than 24 hours later when Josh announced he was actually alive and his account had been hacked.

The reality contestant's story raised a lot of eyebrows, with many wondering why it took him so long to change the narrative and announce he was OK.

We had Josh on TMZ Live who told us he prioritized getting his Instagram account back over letting the public know he was alive. The explanation didn't sit right with a lot of people, and clearly, they continued to let him hear it.

Russell Brand Sex Abuse Claims Spur Probe ... UK Cops Investigating

Published

Russell Brand is under criminal investigation in the UK -- this after cops say a handful of women came forward to publicly claim he sexually abused them years ago.

The comedian-actor was not named by London's Metropolitan Police in their statement Monday -- but there was no ambiguity that he was at the center of this new probe. They wrote, "Following an investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times, the Met has received a number of allegations of sexual offences in London."

The cops add ... "We have also received a number of allegations of sexual offences committed elsewhere in the country and will investigate these."

Unclear what exactly the police are digging into, but, presumably, it might relate to the allegations mentioned in the joint report published a couple weeks ago -- which included claims from 4 different women ... a few of whom alleged RB had raped them.

Prior to Monday's announcement ... Metropolitan Police had said they received a report of a sexual assault that allegedly took place in Soho, London back in '03 -- and many believed that, too, was linked to Brand. Worth noting, Brand has yet to be arrested for anything at this point.

For his part, Brand has repeatedly and vehemently denied of all the claims against him thus far -- and it's too early to tell whether any of these investigations will result in charges.

His online videos and personal web pages have taken hits in the past several days ... with some sponsors pulling their ads from his channels.

RUSSELL BRAND ACUSACIONES DE ABUSO SEXUAL La policía británica investiga

Published | Updated

Russell Brand está siendo investigado en el Reino Unido luego de que varias mujeres afirmaran públicamente que había abusado sexualmente de ellas hace años.

La Policía Metropolitana de Londres no mencionó el nombre del actor cómico en su declaración del lunes, pero no había ninguna ambigüedad en cuanto a que se encontraba en el centro de esta nueva investigación. Escribieron: "Tras una investigación de Dispatches de Channel 4 y The Sunday Times, la Met ha recibido una serie de acusaciones de delitos sexuales en Londres."

Los policías añaden: "También hemos recibido una serie de denuncias de delitos sexuales cometidos en otros lugares del país y los investigaremos".

No está claro qué es exactamente lo que la policía está investigando, pero suponemos que podría estar relacionado con las acusaciones mencionadas en el informe publicado hace un par de semanas. El informe incluía reclamaciones de 4 mujeres diferentes, algunas de las cuales alegaron que Russell las había violado.

Antes del anuncio del lunes, La Policía Metropolitana había dicho que recibieron un informe de asalto sexual que supuestamente tuvo lugar en el Soho de Londres en 2003 y muchos creían que también estaba vinculado a Brand. Vale la pena señalar que Brand aún no ha sido arrestado por nada en este momento.

Por su parte, Brand ha negado repetida y vehementemente todas las acusaciones en su contra hasta el momento y es demasiado pronto para saber si alguna de estas investigaciones dará lugar a cargos.

Sus vídeos en línea y páginas web personales han recibido duros golpes con algunos patrocinadores retirando sus anuncios de sus canales.

PRESIDENTE BIDEN COLOSAL METEDURA DE PATA al nombrar A ll cool j También se refiere a él como "niño"

ll j cool j"

El presidente Joe Biden dijo una vez a los votantes afroamericanos "No sois negros" si no votáis por él, pero debido a su desconocimiento de LL Cool J ... La supuesta Tarjeta Negra de Biden está ahora en entredicho.

El pionero del hip hop fue honrado en la Conferencia Legislativa anual de la Fundación del Caucus Negro del Congreso durante el fin de semana y el Presi vivió una de sus peores meteduras de pata llamándolo "LL J Cool J".

Para empeorar las cosas, cuando Biden trató de recuperarse de ese error, se refirió a LL como "niño" generando cringe entre los espectadores. También trató de arreglar ese error...

Salió así: "Por cierto, ese niño... ese hombre tiene los bíceps más grandes que mis muslos". Madre mía Joe😬.

Los republicanos están usando la metedura de pata verbal como un golpe político pero Charlamagne piensa que es un golpe cultural, dándole al Comandante en Jefe y a su equipo de redacción el titulo de "Burro del Día".

Como señala CTG, Joe cumplirá 81 años dentro de un par de meses y sus guionistas deberían dejar de intentar que parezca moderno, pero aún tiene edad suficiente para recordar los días en que el término "boy" (niño) era un término racista utilizado para menospreciar a los hombres negros.

LL ha sido un rapero superestrella desde los 80s —uno de los primeros del género— y ha estado deletreando su nombre en las canciones hace mucho. Un pedazo de historia americana que CTG dice que el Presi debe saber.

La última vez que hablamos con LL expresó gratitud hacia sus legendarios compañeros con los que contribuyó a que el Hip Hop se convirtiera en una forma de arte a escala mundial, algo que no se puede medir exactamente de un teleprompter.

BLUEFACE Teléfono y Tuiter hackeado NO PUBLICÓ LOS GENITALES DE SU HIJO

Published | Updated

Blueface está asumiendo toda la culpa luego de que una foto de los genitales de su hijo se publicó desde la cuenta del rapero de las redes sociales alegando que su teléfono fue robado y su cuenta hackeada.

A medida que la indignación contra Blue aumentaba el lunes, él respondió con un tuit afirmando que su teléfono fue robado y obligando a su Twitter para ser utilizado en contra de su libre albedrío.

Como era de esperar, no hay mucha gente que cree.

Como informamos, la cuenta "hackeada" publicó un largo texto sobre su hijo recién nacido y sus luchas médicas incluyendo una supuesta hernia. La cuenta expresó su indignación hacia Chrisean Rock, (la madre del niño) y dijo que estaba evitando llevar al bebé al médico.

También debemos señalar que la cuenta supuestamente "hackeada" sólo parecía tomar el lado de Blueface en el argumento, cosa que pasa muy rara vez un hackeo.

Las cosas han ido cuesta abajo para la familia de Blue y Chrisean desde que ella fue vista sosteniendo descuidadamente a su hijo en Walmart, y las cosas continúan empeorando.

¿Blueface debería pagar por mostrar los genitales de su hijo?

President Biden Colossal Flub Of LL Cool J's Name ... Also Refers to Him As 'Boy'

Published | Updated

"LL J COOL J"

President Joe Biden once told African American voters "You ain't Black" if you don't vote for him, but due to his lack of awareness about LL Cool J ... Biden's alleged Black Card is now being called into question.

The Rock the Bells pioneer was honored at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual Legislative Conference over the weekend, and the Prez pulled one of his worst teleprompter gaffes ... calling him "LL J Cool J."

To make matters worse, as Biden tried to recover from that flub, he referred to LL as "boy" ... making everyone in the crowd cringe ... even though he quickly tried to fix that screw-up, too.

It came out like this, "By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs." Good grief, Joe😬.

Republicans are using the verbal blunder as a political strike, but Charlamagne thinks it's a cultural one ... giving the Commander-in-Chief, and his writing staff, the "Donkey of the Day," and that's not a Democratic compliment!!!

As CTG notes, Joe will be 81 years old in a couple of months and his writers should stop attempting to have him come across as hip ... but he's still old enough to remember the days when the term "boy" was a racist term used to belittle Black men.

LL's also been a superstar rapper since the '80s -- one of the genre's first -- and has been spelling out his name in songs just as long -- a slice of American history CTG says the Prez should know.

ALWAYS BEEN BIG

Last time we spoke to LL, he expressed gratitude he and his fellow legends' contributions to Hip Hop made it a globally scaled art form ... something you can't exactly gauge from a teleprompter.

Israel Adesanya UFC Star Apologizes For Drunk Driving ... 'It Was Wrong'

Published

Israel Adesanya just issued an apology to his family and beloved fans after pleading guilty to drunk driving ... saying he was wrong to get behind the wheel.

The incident happened on August 19th ... after the 24-3 UFC star had dinner and a few drinks with friends in Auckland, New Zealand.

While driving home, the 34-year-old came across a random breath testing unit ... and allegedly had a reading of 87 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters, which exceeds New Zealand's legal limit of 50 milligrams.

"I want to apologize to the community, my family and my team for the decision I made to get behind the wheel after drinking at a dinner," Adesanya said in a statement.

"I am disappointed with my decision to drive, It was wrong."

Style Bender continued ... "I know that people might follow me and I want them to know I do not think this behavior is acceptable."

Adesanya pleaded guilty in court on Monday ... and is facing a max penalty of three months in jail or a $2,600 fine.

This arrest happened three weeks before Adesanya lost to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia ... which cost him his middleweight title.

His sentencing is scheduled for January 10, 2024.

Antonio Brown Compares Steelers O.C. To Hitler ... 'Adolf Canada'

Published

Antonio Brown has seen enough of Matt Canada's offense in Pittsburgh -- the controversial ex-NFL superstar just unloaded on the Steelers coach in a social media rant ... wildly comparing him to Adolf Hitler.

AB has been an outspoken critic of Canada recently ... ripping his former team over its scoring struggles this season, and even throwing out his interest in replacing the current offensive coordinator.

Brown continued his public bashing on Monday ... sharing a picture of Canada with Hitler's signature toothbrush mustache drawn on it and saying, "Adolf Canada."

The posts were understandably met with backlash ... with several users also pointing out they fell on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism.

"Tweeting this is crazy," one follower replied ... while another added, "Yeah, this is wildly inappropriate. It's not even remotely funny."

The Steelers were able to score a few offensive touchdowns en route to a 23-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders ... but it's safe to say AB was still not satisfied with Canada's performance nonetheless.

AB is no stranger to speaking his mind on social media ... but he definitely should have reconsidered these posts.

Blueface Says Phone Stolen & Twitter Hacked Didn't Post Son's Genitals

Published | Updated

Blueface is taking all the blame off himself after a photo of his infant son's genitals was posted from the rapper's social media account ... claiming his phone was stolen and his account hacked.

As the outrage against Blue piled on Monday morning, he countered with a tweet claiming his phone was stolen ... forcing his Twitter to be used against his free will.

As you'd expect, there aren't too many people who believe his new claim.

As we reported, the "hacked" account posted a lengthy rant about his newborn son and his medical struggles, including an alleged hernia. The account expressed outrage toward Chrisean Rock, the boy's mother, and said she was avoiding taking the infant to the doctor.

We should also point out, the allegedly "hacked" account only seemed to take Blueface's side in the argument ... which very rarely happens with a hack.

Things have been downhill in Blue and Chrisean's family situation since she was spotted improperly holding their child at Walmart ... and continue to spiral out of control by the day.

Should there be legal consequences to Blueface posting a photo of his child's genitals? Vote below.

Keke Palmer Chrisean Needs HELP, Not Hate ... Black Single Moms Got It Rough!!!

Published | Updated

UPDATE

11:15 AM -- Chrisean Rock and Keke Palmer have connected behind the scenes on Monday after much internet chatter.

Chrisean had initially taken issue with Keke going public but cooler heads have prevailed and Chrisean appears to have an ally in Keke while a Blueface reconcillation is still TBD.

Keke Palmer believes Chrisean Rock's issues are reflective of the challenges facing so many other Black single mothers ... publicly offering the embattled reality star support.

Keke, who's a new mother herself, couldn't contain her anger as many -- including Blueface's manager Wack 100, called for Chrisean's baby to be removed from her care.

The way Keke sees it, personal opinions against Chrisean are irrelevant -- maternal health care is the #1 priority in situations like these, and she says neglected kids are the ones placed in the system which often leads to a path of crime.

Keke says there's an ongoing epidemic in health care for Black women and Chrisean is simply one of the many victims.

The CDC reported that in 2021, Black women suffered nearly 70 deaths for every 100,000 live births ... almost 3x the number of White women.

The "Nope" actress echoed much of what Cardi B told us when she spoke about Chrisean's early struggles with motherhood ... but the controversy surrounding her newborn baby is becoming more critical by the day!!!

Chrisean and Blueface are both under fire after the "Thotiana" rapper exposed their son's genitals ... accusing Chrisean of failing to schedule the appropriate surgery to fix a hernia, which has grown rather large.

She's also still trying to live down last week's viral Walmart video that showed her carelessly holding her baby.

Chrisean barked back at Blueface for airing out their baby's business ... but also admitted she hadn't yet set a date for him to have surgery, either.

Should there be legal consequences to Blueface posting a photo of his child's genitals? Vote below.

KEKE PALMER Chrisean Necesita AYUDA, No Odio ¡¡¡LAS MADRES SOLTERAS LO TIENEN DIFICIL!!!

Published | Updated

Keke Palmer cree que los problemas de Chrisean Rock son un reflejo de los retos a los que se enfrentan muchas otras madres solteras afro y ofreció públicamente su apoyo a la estrella de reality.

Keke, que es madre primeriza, no pudo contener su ira cuando muchos  —incluyendo el manager de Blueface Wack 100— pidió que el bebé de Chrisean fuera retirado de su cuidado.

En opinión de Keke, las opiniones personales en contra de Chrisean son irrelevantes, el cuidado materno es la prioridad # 1 en situaciones como estas y ella dice que los niños desatendidos son los que finalmente terminan en el camino de la delincuencia.

Keke dice que hay una epidemia en curso en lo que respecta a la salud de las mujeres afro en Estados Unidos y Chrisean es simplemente una de muchas víctimas.

El CDC informó que en 2021 las mujeres afrodecendientes sufrieron casi 70 muertes por cada 100.000 nacidos vivos, casi 3 veces el número de las mujeres blancas.

La actriz de "Nope" hizo eco de lo que Cardi B nos dijo cuando habló sobre las primeras luchas de Chrisean con la maternidad ¡¡¡pero la controversia que rodea a su recién nacido se está volviendo más crítica cada día!!!

Chrisean y Blueface están recibiendo críticas luego de que el rapero de "Thotiana" expuso los genitales de su hijo acusando a Chrisean de no programar la cirugía adecuada para arreglar una hernia, la cual ha crecido bastante.

Por otra parte, ella lucha contra sus propias críticas luego de que se viralizara un video que la muestra sosteniendo a su bebé de manera descuidada.

Chrisean ladró de nuevo a Blueface para ventilar el negocio de su bebé ... pero también admitió que aún no había fijado una fecha para que él tenga la cirugía.

¿Debería tener consecuencias legales publicar una foto de los genitales de su hijo?

POLICÍA ESTATAL DE PENSILVANIA DETENIDO POR INTERNAR ILEGALMENTE A SU EX EN UN PSIQUIÁTRICO

Published

Un policía del estado de Pensilvania fue arrestado por internar ilegalmente a su ex novia en un psiquiátrico, pero su plan salió mal luego de ser grabado sujetándola violentamente mientras ella rogaba por su liberación.

Ronald Davis fue detenido el pasado jueves y acusado de delito grave de estrangulamiento, restricción ilegal, detención ilegal, asalto simple, imprudentemente poner en peligro a otra persona y opresión policial.

El Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Dauphin dijo que Davis está casado y tiene familia, pero tenía una "relación íntima" con su ahora ex novia.

Davis supuestamente aseguró ilegalmente una orden de internamiento involuntario y tenía a la mujer interna en un centro de salud mental en contra de su voluntad de acuerdo con una denuncia ante un tribunal penal.

Un amigo acompañó a Davis para grabarlo mientras detenía a la mujer antes de entregar el vídeo al fiscal, que lo hizo público.

Échale un vistazo al perturbador registro... Davis está sentado encima de la mujer, manoseándola en el suelo.

Ella le suplica que la deje, diciendo: "Esto no es normal. ¿Puedo levantarme? No he hecho nada malo, excepto estar en desacuerdo contigo".

La mujer intenta liberarse, luchando con Davis y dándole codazos en la espalda.

Pero Davis es demasiado fuerte y la mantiene bajo su control hasta que llegan más policías y es llevada al hospital para ser evaluada. La mujer pasó cinco días enteros en el pabellón psiquiátrico antes de ser dada de alta, pero no debería haber estado allí en primer lugar.

El fiscal dijo que Davis mantuvo una relación inestable con la mujer durante cuatro meses, amenazándola en un momento dado diciéndole: "Sé que no estás loca, te haré pasar por loca, conozco la ley".
