Controversial S#!T

Dutch volleyball star Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, is slated to compete in the Paris Olympics this week ... and the IOC is now facing serious pressure to investigate how he was able to be included in the Games despite his disgraced past.

Van de Velde allegedly raped a 12-year-old back in 2014 -- when he was 19. Authorities claimed he initially met the girl online -- and then flew from Amsterdam to London a short time later to have sexual relations with her -- this despite him being aware of her age. In 2016, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to four years in prison.

However, after serving 12 months behind bars in Britain, he was transferred to the Netherlands, where he was resentenced. Roughly a month later, he was released. Following his time served, he told a local media outlet he was not a pedophile.

Kamala Harris is zeroing in on comments J.D. Vance made back when he was running for Senate ... grousing about women -- especially Black women -- flying around the country to get abortions.

Vance appeared in 2022 on Aimee Terese's "Very Fine People" podcast, and said there needed to be a ban on abortion, because leaving it to the states would allow women to travel to parts of the country where abortion is still legal.

He gave an example ... “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately Black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.”

Ana Navarro is defending Vice President Kamala Harris -- following a slew of attacks on her dating history -- by sharing a throwback image of a naked Melania Trump.

The 'View' co-host just posted an old GQ photo of Melania, showing the former first lady in the nude -- all the goods are covered by a fur rug -- but Melania's wearing nothing but jewelry and she's chained to a briefcase inside Donald Trump's private jet.

Ana says the image, from the January 2000 GQ magazine edition, is appropriate given all the heat Kamala is taking for her former relationships ... including accusations she slept her way to the top of the political ladder.

The transgender daughter Elon Musk says is dead to him is lashing out at her father -- ripping him as an absent parent who knows nothing about her transition.

Vivian Jenna Wilson is going scorched earth on Elon after her father claimed the "woke mind virus" brainwashed her into transitioning from a man to a woman.

In a social media rant, Vivian says Elon is lying about her picking out clothes for him when she was 4 years old and calling those choices "fabulous" ... and she says she wasn't born "slightly autistic" and wasn't into musicals and theater, as the Tesla chief claims.

Now THIS is a debate -- the race for Sheriff in Florida's Palm Beach County has one candidate so fired up, he said what's really on his mind after getting roasted in a showdown with his rivals.

The debate went down by Zoom earlier this week, and Michael Gauger didn't mince his words ... firing back at fellow candidate Lauro Diaz by calling him a "f***ing ***hole!"

It all kickstarted when Diaz completely bypassed the other candidate, Alex Freeman, to declare the race was a two-man show, with his sights set squarely on Gauger.

Hip Hop's days of promoting voluptuous surgery-enhanced women are ancient history ... at least according to DreamDoll and Safaree ... and the "Love and Hip Hop: NY" vets aren't even working together on this initiative!

DreamDoll, as her name suggests, built her rap career based on being a real-life Barbie doll ... her debut mixtape series was even called "Life In Plastic."

While speaking on "The Zeze Millz Show," DreamDoll admitted she regretted all the times she went under the knife to fit the hip hop image, and opened up about "transitioning" back into her natural body.

Gilbert Arenas is issuing a direct mea culpa to Luol Deng for his xenophobic comments about South Sudan's men's basketball team ... this after the African former NBA star released a powerful statement addressing the whole ordeal.

As we previously reported, Arenas faced a ton of backlash for going on an offensive rant on Saturday ... shortly after LeBron James and Team USA squeaked by South Sudan prior to the Olympics. Celtics legend Paul Pierce also found himself in hot water for making similar remarks during an appearance on "Undisputed."

The ex-Bulls and Lakers forward -- who serves as the president of the South Sudan Basketball Federation -- broke his silence on both Arenas and Pierce's controversial words directed at his native country's team ... saying he wasn't upset or angry by their words, but more "disappointed" it came from two former colleagues he's always respected.

MrBeast is speaking out after his longtime co-host Ava Kris Tyson was hit with serious grooming allegations ... and assures fans he's looking into the matter.

The Internet star issued his statement on X Wednesday, after Ava announced she was exiting her role at the uber-popular YouTube channel amid the controversy. MrBeast confirmed he'll no longer be working with AKT and revealed he has hired a 3rd party to conduct an investigation into the allegations.

As MB put it ... there was enough evidence to remove Ava from his staff, but he'll let the investigation conclude before choosing to pursue any further action.

Tyler Perry's not letting anyone tell him which stories matter ... firing off a few shots at "highbrow negroes" ... who think only certain Black stories should be told.

The actor/director chatted with Keke Palmer on her podcast Wednesday about staying true to his authentic voice ... while critics regularly fire off about his modes of storytelling -- specifically, the characters he uses to tell his stories.

TP says he feels God's put him in the place he's at to tell stories ... and, anyone who lets the haters talk them out of that place will wake up in hell.

A guest on FOX Business suggested Vice President Kamala Harris slept her way to the top live on the air -- and he did so by invoking none other than the now-viral Haliey Welch.

Author Alec Lace went on the network earlier this month to talk shop, and it quickly became clear he was no fan of Dems or the VP, especially when he referenced her in very vulgar terms.

The shocking moment is just now going viral because of Harris' presidential campaign.

Watch ... Lace was trashing Kamala, calling her the "DEI Vice President" and saying the Democratic party's prospects are grim. Then, he called KH the "original Hawk Tuah girl."

A new audio recording of Billy Ray Cyrus is raising eyebrows ... as the country star hurls a slew of insults at his estranged wife, Firerose.

In a recording obtained by TMZ ... Miley Cyrus' dad lays into Firerose over making him late for an event -- repeatedly calling her "an idiot" and a "dumbass."

The recording -- which sources close to Billy Ray say is heavily edited and doesn't accurately depict the situation -- features an argument between the now-separated couple, where BRC belittles Firerose several times.

Pro-Palestine demonstrators are unleashing a nasty attack of critters on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attempting to make him uncomfortable ahead of his big speech to Congress.

Netanyahu and the Israeli delegation are shacking up at the infamous Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C., and video posted Wednesday by an anti-Israel group shows a horde of maggots and crickets crawling on a conference room table flanked by the U.S. and Israeli flags.

The footage also shows the creepy crawlers making themselves at home in hotel hallways and common areas.

Matt Gaetz used the FBI Director's testimony on Donald Trump's assassination attempt to score political points ... veering off the topic to question him about Joe Biden's cognition.

The controversial congressman just took his turn firing off questions at Director Christopher Wray ... and, while his colleagues have asked a series of questions about the attempt on the former prez's life, Gaetz instead focused on Biden dropping out of the race.

Gaetz asks exactly when CW first noticed Biden's "cognitive decline" including when Wray might've started noticing Biden not picking up on some things quite as quickly in their briefings.

Thomas Matthew Crooks rigged multiple explosive devices to blow up and had a remote transmitter at Donald Trump's rally ... this, according to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The federal bureau's top man's currently testifying in front of a Congressional Committee about the shooting that nearly claimed the former President's life ... and, he says the law enforcement agencies recovered three bombs, presumably set up by Crooks.

Check out the clip ... Wray says they found three total devices -- two in his car and one in his home -- all with the ability to be detonated remotely. There were receivers at the scene for two of the devices, and Crooks had a transmitter to detonate them.

Gary Holt says Beyoncé's super overrated and not all that talented -- whereas Taylor Swift, in his opinion, blows her outta the water on multiple fronts ... hot take ahead, y'all.

Then he brings out the big guns ... calling Beyoncé one of music's most overrated stars with just "marginal" talent -- and he also crapped on her daughter Blue Ivy.

MSNBC host Joy Reid has a scathing message for Black people who may be waffling on supporting Kamala Harris for president, saying they'll get side-eye if they don't get onboard.

The TV personality took to TikTok Tuesday evening, where she declared Black voters will look "real weird" if they choose to not vote for the Vice President ... who's the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Biden exited the race.

As JR put it ... Kamala is a cultural phenomenon and set to make history as potentially the first female and first Asian-American president in the U.S. Of course, she'd also be the 2nd Black president if elected.
