KHLOE KARDASHIAN ¡BAJO FUEGO POR HACER BLACKFISHING OTRA VEZ!
Khloe Kardashian está siendo acusada de blackfishing... OTRA VEZ. Para aquellos que no lo sepan, el término "blackfishing" se utiliza para describir a las personas blancas que utilizan filtros, maquillaje o bronceado excesivo para hacerse pasar por negros, ya sea para conseguir un valor monetario o beneficio personal.
En varias publicaciones compartidas en su Instagram este martes de Halloween, la fundadora de Good American fue vista posando mientras jugaba a disfrazarse de muñeca Bratz.
Khloe llevaba un minivestido amarillo sobre una camisa blanca de manga larga, una boina amarilla a juego, una peluca rubia platino hasta la rodilla y un bolso de mano con el logo de Bratz incrustado.
Pero, para su desgracia, la atención de los usuarios no se fue a su atuendo, sino a su tono de piel, el que según muchos de sus horrorizados seguidores era "10 veces más oscuro".
"¿Cómo no es esto blackfishing?", echó humo una persona, mientras que otra afirmó que quería "ver cómo se vería negra". Otros remataron diciendo que ni siquiera la reconocían cuestionando: "¿Así que Khloe está haciendo blackface?".
Khloe no ha sido la única de sus hermanas acusada de blackfishing. Kylie Jenner también ha sido criticada a lo largo de los años, más recientemente cuando anunció su colección de muñecas Bratz en agosto.
Por ahora, Khloe no dejó que las acusaciones la afectaran y siguió compartiendo imágenes en su Instagram con sus compañeras Bratz, su hermana Kim y sus amigas Natalie Halcro y Olivia Pierson.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN UNDER FIRE FOR BLACKFISHING AGAIN! ...'You didn't have to be darker to be a Bratz doll'
Khloe Kardashian has found herself at the end of blackfishing accusations ... AGAIN.
In several posts shared to her Instagram for Halloween Tuesday, the Good American founder was seen posing away while playing dress up as a Bratz doll.
Accessorizing with a crystal-encrusted Bratz logo handbag, she wore a yellow minidress atop a long-sleeved white shirt, complete with a matching yellow beret over a knee-length platinum blonde wig.
But, unfortunately for Khloe, the attention was not on her outfit -- it was on her skin tone, which, according to many of her horrified followers, was "10 times darker."
"How is this not blackfishing?" one person fumed, while another claimed that she wanted to "see what she would look like black." Others chimed in they don't even recognize her questioning, "so khloe is doing blackface?"
For those who don't know, the term "blackfishing" is used to describe white people using filters, makeup, or excessive tan to masquerade as Black for monetary value and personal gain.
Khloe hasn't been the only one of her sisters accused of blackfishing ... Kylie Jenner has also come under fire over the years -- most recently when she announced her Bratz doll collection back in August.
As for now, Khloe didn't let the blackfishing accusations get to her as she continued to share images on her Insta with her fellow Bratz dolls ... sister Kim and friends Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU CRITICADO POR EL DISFRAZ DE "DECAPITADO" DE SU HIJO Sordera en medio del conflicto entre Israel y Palestina
El primer ministro canadiense, Justin Trudeau, ha sido criticado por el "insensible" disfraz de Halloween de su hijo decapitado y sus seguidores han señalado que el primer ministro hace oídos sordos a la situación en Oriente Medio.
En las fotos compartidas en Instagram el martes, el Primer Ministro posó alegremente con su hijo Hadrien, de nueve años, cuya cabeza sale de su túnica negra para dar la ilusión de que lleva su propia cabeza cortada en sus manos.
Justin bromeó diciendo que nada impedía a Hadrien pedir caramelos, aunque "parece haber olvidado algo", pero los usuarios de la plataforma sostienen que es Justin quien ha olvidado algo: que hace unas semanas se decapitó a bebés y a otras personas.
El comentarista político Tyler Popp etiquetó el post de Justin como "sordo", mientras que Saba Khan, con sede en Toronto, que dirige la página @fictionallyflawless, dijo en línea que su "corazón dice que esto es lo más sordo que puede hacer en un momento en que los niños están recibiendo sus cabezas voladas en Palestina".
Otros tacharon las instantáneas de Halloween de Justin de "repugnantes, insensibles e irrespetuosas", así como de "tremendamente inapropiadas" e "insensibles más allá de lo creíble".
Algunas personas pusieron paños fríos, criticando a los que convirtieron el disfraz de Halloween de Hadrien en algo político.
Esta no es la primera vez que Justin recibe críticas por un disfraz insensible. Todos recordamos su gira de disculpas en 2019 cuando surgieron fotos de él luciendo una tez oscurecida disfrazado de Aladino en 2001.
Tal vez debería saltarse Halloween el próximo año.
French Montana Drug Search On My Plane in Colombia
French Montana's flying private, but his travel plans are still coming with headaches ... because he says authorities in Colombia searched his jet for narcotics.
The rapper says he was trying to fly out of the South American country Tuesday, but he was grounded at the airport while officers combed through his plane in search of cocaine.
French posted video of his encounter with law enforcement, and you see a handful of police officers going through the plane along with a drug-sniffing dog.
He's keeping a cool head about it, for the most part, even petting the K-9 in front of officers. He's also proclaiming his innocence ... saying la policia got the wrong idea about him.
Yes, he named his label (and mixtape series) Cokeboys, but French declares there's no contraband on his ride.
Despite the hard time from Colombian police, French says he's still got love for the country ... though he adds, "you don't have to do me like this!!!"
We're guessing he was eventually cleared for takeoff -- or he wouldn't have posted the video -- but his last IG story says, "I need bail!! 👀."

CRÍTICO GASTRONÓMICO DE TIKTOK Provoca cambios en restaurantes de Atlanta ¡Haremos ajustes!
La escena gastronómica de Atlanta ha estado bajo la lupa desde que un crítico de TikTok con cientos de seguidores llegó a la ciudad y empezó a hacer malas críticas de los restaurantes, y ahora, algunos de esos lugares están prometiendo cambios.
Keith Lee, que tiene un alcance masivo en TikTok y cuyas críticas de comida han hecho que pequeños negocios, usualmente desapercibidos, se conviertan en los favoritos de la gente, trajo su talento a la ciudad de Atlanta la semana pasada y tenía mucho que decir.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
El crítico hizo una serie de comentarios en video y un buen puñado de ellos en realidad terminaron siendo retrospectivas de lo difícil que resultó pedir comida a domicilio en un montón de establecimientos conocidos y populares en la ciudad. Algunos de ellos incluyeron The Real Milk & Honey, y el restaurante Old Lady Gang, de Kandi Burruss, y según cuenta ambas experiencias lo dejaron sin comida.
Al parecer, hay un montón de "reglas" que Keith y su familia tuvieron que pasar para hacer un pedido e incluso para sentarse, algo que caracteriza a un mal servicio al cliente a su juicio, y desde que criticó a estos lugares un montón de personas ha concordado.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
Como resultado de todas estas críticas y comentarios, parece haber un consenso de que es un poco difícil cenar en Atlanta, y por ninguna buena razón.
Kandi abordó parte de la crítica de Keith, particularmente el hecho de que Keith y su equipo no pudieron pedir comida para domicilio fácilmente, y dijo que su restaurante pone el foco y los recursos en los que comen en él. Sin embargo, no se refirió a su afirmación de que solo se le ofreció una mesa debido a su nombre.
En cualquier caso, Kandi le abre las puertas nuevamente y espera que el equipo de Old Lady Gang pueda tener otra oportunidad. Los dueños de The Real Milk & Honey (que es un restaurante franquiciado) tomaron un enfoque ligeramente diferente, pero en última instancia salieron a aclarar un poco las cosas y a pedir disculpas también.
Después de que uno de sus dueños criticara a Keith en una estación de radio local, en un intento por defenderse de las prácticas estrictas de su restaurante, el negocio en sí emitió una larga declaración el martes, donde aparentemente admitió estar equivocada.
La cuenta corporativa dice que han hecho un examen de conciencia en el transcurso de la semana y ahora The Real Milk & Honey se compromete a ajustar la forma en que operan.
No dicen exactamente lo que cambiarán, pero parece que la crítica de Keith los hizo pensar dos veces.
Por cierto, toda esta discusión se tomó las redes sociales durante varios días y dejó a algunas grandes celebridades de peso comentando sobre los "problemas" que existen en la supuesta escena de comida en Atlanta, incluyendo a Cardi B, que en términos inequívocos se puso del lado de Keith y le dio las gracias por exponerlo.
Como muchos han señalado, el efecto Keith Lee es real, para bien o para mal. Tomen nota, amigos, el hombre critica la comida y el servicio al cliente, ¡y les hará saber si no le gusta!

TikTok Food Critic Keith Lee Spurs Responses from ATL Restaurateurs ... Changes Are Comin'!!!
Atlanta's food scene has been under the microscope since a viral food critic came to town with bad reviews -- and now, some of these places are promising change.
Keith Lee, who has a massive TikTok following and whose food reviews have turned small, unseen businesses into out-the-door favorites brought his talents to the ATL last week -- and had a lot to say.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
He did a number of video reviews ... and a good handful of them actually ended up being retrospectives into how difficult it turned out to be to order takeout at a bunch of well-known/popular establishments in town. His stops included The Real Milk & Honey, and Kandi Burruss's Old Lady Gang restaurant -- both experiences, he says, left him without food.
Apparently, there are a ton of "rules" Keith says he and his family had to go through to even place an order or to be seated -- stemming from what he characterizes as bad customer service -- and since calling these places out ... a lot of folks have chimed in to agree.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
In the aftermath of these reviews -- and amid all the discourse that's followed -- there seems to be a consensus ... it's kinda difficult to dine in Atlanta, and for no real good reason, either.
Kandi addressed part of Keith's critique -- the fact he and his crew couldn't easily order takeout -- and said her restaurant puts the focus and resources on those who eat in. However, she didn't address his claim he was only offered a table because of his name.
In any case ... Kandi welcomes him back and hopes she and the OLG team can get another shot. The folks who own The Real Milk & Honey (which is a franchised restaurant) took a slightly different approach ... but ultimately landed with a bit of a clarification/apology too.
After one of the RMH honchos reportedly torched Keith on a local radio station -- in trying to defend his restaurant's stringent practices -- the restaurant itself issued a lengthy statement Tuesday ... seemingly admitting to being in the wrong.
The corporate account says they've done some soul-searching over the course of this week-long saga ... and now, The Real Milk & Honey is vowing to tweak how they operate.
They don't exactly say what's in store -- but it appears Keith's review made 'em think twice.
BTW, this whole chapter took over part of the Internet for a good several days ... and it got some big-time celebs weighing in on the supposed Atlanta food scene "problem" -- including Cardi B, who in no uncertain terms sided with Keith ... and thanked him for exposing it.
As many have noted ... the Keith Lee effect is real, for better or worse. Take note, folks -- he critiques food AND customer service ... and he'll let ya know if he's not feeling it!

Sacramento Kings Ex-Dancers Sue ... Your Choreographer's A Creep!!!
Two former Sacramento Kings dancers are suing the team ... alleging one of the org's choreographers was a total creep who prevented them from making this year's dance squad.
The two dancers -- ID'ed only as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 -- filed the lawsuit against the NBA franchise in a California court on Tuesday.
Doe 1 said in the suit she was hired by the Kings in 2022 ... and a short time later, she noticed a pattern of misconduct from team choreographer Matthew Day.
According to the woman, Day would inappropriately touch dancers as he worked with them, "causing emotional discomfort." She said she went to HR over it ... but she claims in the suit "no changes were made."
Doe 1 alleged Day's unprofessional behavior continued as he remained employed by the team ... claiming Day sent her various messages on Instagram, including some that contained "flirtatious comments and emojis." She said in the suit she never engaged "in any flirtatious behavior in response."
Doe 2, who was also hired by the Kings in 2022, listed similar allegations against Day in the suit.
Both Doe 1 and Doe 2 said when they attempted to rejoin the team for the 2023-24 season ... Day was on the judges panel, much to their surprise.
And, when the two were not picked for the team following auditions -- they said in the lawsuit they were sure it was retaliation for their complaints against Day.
Both are suing the Kings and Day for unspecified damages.
"This is an absolutely stunning case of management at the Sacramento Kings turning a blind eye to Day's lecherous and illegal behavior," said Ron Zambrano, the attorney for Doe 1 and Doe 2. "Day committed these creepy acts, and he is certainly responsible for his own conduct, but the team's inaction amounts to condoning such horrendous working conditions so both are equally liable for the plaintiffs' pain and suffering."

Rocky tells us he's currently working on his next album, "Don't Be Dumb," in real-time and fans will be on the edge of their seats wondering if he'll respond to Drake's shots from his "For All the Dogs" album.
Champagne Papi referred to his sexy time with RiRi as "average," and made it clear he didn't envy Rocky's current situation.

He didn't have much to add to that topic, but did recommend the perfect running shoes for our photog. Watch the clip ... we should definitely take the suggestion. 😉

A$AP Rocky estaba más que dispuesto a charlar con TMZ Hip Hop durante su entrenamiento diario, y aunque este consiste en trotar a paso rápido, nos invitó a acompañarlo y... mmm, ¡hicimos lo que pudimos! 😂
El rapero superestrella estaba trotando tranquilamente cuando lo encontramos y se echó a reír a carcajadas cuando le preguntamos sobre el deseo de Rihanna de tener un par de hijos más.
Rocky y Rihanna acaban de dar la bienvenida a su segundo hijo, Riot Rose, el pasado mes de agosto y están muy ocupados ¡haciendo malabares con la paternidad y sus proyectos largamente retrasados!

KEVIN BRENNAN EX-GUIONISTA DE 'SNL' SE BURLA DE LA MUERTE DE PERRY .. HAHAHAHA
Kevin Brennan —un ex escritor de "SNL" y comediante— se está refiriendo a la muerte de Matthew Perry con muy mal gusto. Esto podría explicar por qué no tiene más éxito en el mundo del espectáculo.
Kevin —quien estuvo un período de dos años escribiendo para el famoso programa de sketches de comedia en el pasado y que alguna vez fue un cómico en ascenso— tomó Tuiter este fin de semana después de la noticia de la muerte de Perry y publicó un mensaje increíblemente insensible burlándose del difunto actor de "Friends".
DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA

Friends' Star Matthew Perry Dead at 54 After Apparent Drowning https://t.co/fSA7d7hZ2f
Escribió: "SE AHOGÓ EN UNA TINA CALIENTE. HAHAHAHA"... mientras enlazaba a nuestra historia.
El tuit no fue visto por mucha gente —Brennan solo tiene alrededor de 5.900 seguidores más o menos— pero sin duda dejó un mal sabor en la boca de la gente que lo vio, con muchas personas furiosas en los comentarios y condenándolo por hacer una broma de tan mal gusto.
Aunque Kevin no es tan relevante como lo fue en los años 90 / principios de 2000, todavía tiene una famosa conexión con Hollywood a través de su hermano menor Neal Brennan, de quien está distanciado. Neal, por supuesto, es el cocreador y guionista de "Chappelle's Show".
Neal y Kevin se pelearon hace años y el hermano pequeño se forjó un sólido camino. Neal ha escrito para un montón de programas, e incluso tiene su propio especial de comedia en Netflix, mientras que Kevin presenta un podcast bastante oscuro y hace actuaciones aquí y allá.
Vale la pena repetir que Neal NO es cercano a Kevin y basándonos en las entrevistas que ha hecho últimamente, se puede decir que es un tema delicado. Podemos notar rápidamtene que sus personalidades son muy diferentes.
Por supuesto, los comentarios groseros de Kevin no son en absoluto un reflejo de Neal. Podemos notar que se ocupa de sus asuntos y se centra en su trabajo y que no ha hablado de Perry o "Friends" en lo absoluto públicamente.
Kevin parece que todavía se imagina a sí mismo en un stand-up, y se la pasa haciendo comentarios acerca de los comediantes con los que sin duda alguna vez se ceodeó. Sin embargo sus últimos comentarios están lejos de ser un asunto de risa. Neal no parece haber reaccionado al post de su hermano.
Hemos llegado a él para hacer comentarios; sin embargo, no hay respuesta
Kevin Brennan Ex-'SNL' Writer Mocks Perry Death ... 'HAHAHAHA'
Kevin Brennan -- a former 'SNL' writer and comedian -- is making light of Matthew Perry's passing in a real ugly way ... which may speak to why he isn't more successful in showbiz.
Kevin -- who had a 2-year stint writing for the famed sketch comedy show way back when, and who was once a rising comic -- took to Twitter this weekend after news of Perry's death broke ... and posted an incredibly insensitive message mocking the late 'Friends' actor.
DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA

Friends' Star Matthew Perry Dead at 54 After Apparent Drowning https://t.co/fSA7d7hZ2f
He wrote, "DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA" ... this while linking back to our story.
The tweet wasn't viewed by very many people -- KB only has about 5,900 followers or so anyway -- but it certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of folks who did see it ... with many people calling him out in the comments and bashing him for making a joke out of it.
While Kevin isn't nearly as relevant as he was in the '90s/early 2000s ... he still has a famous connection to mainstream Hollywood through his younger brother Neal Brennan -- from whom he's estranged. Neal, of course, is the co-creator/writer of 'Chappelle's Show.'
Neal and Kevin had a falling out years ago -- and the younger sibling went on to forge a solid path for himself. Neal's written for tons of shows, and even has his own Netflix comedy special now ... whereas Kevin hosts a pretty obscure podcast, and does gigs here and there.
It bears repeating ... Neal is NOT close to Kevin -- and based on interviews NB has done of late, where he was asked about his relationship with Kevin ... you can tell it's a sensitive topic. Based on this reaction to Perry alone, you'll see their personalities are very different.
So, of course, Kevin's crude remarks here are in no way a reflection of Neal -- who, as far as we can tell, minds his business and focuses on his work ... and who doesn't seem to have talked about Perry or 'Friends,' for that matter, very much at all publicly.
Kevin appears to still fancy himself standup-adjacent -- regularly commenting on mainstream comedians that Neal undoubtedly rubs shoulders with ... although, what he pulled here is far from a laughing matter. Neal doesn't seem to have reacted to his brother's post.
We've reached out to him for comment, nonetheless ... so far, no word back.

Megan Fox Sticks It to SAG w/ Halloween 'Stume ... Well, Eh, Sorta-ish
Megan Fox stuck her tongue out at SAG-AFTRA this weekend with her Halloween costume -- or so she thinks anyway ... 'cause her movie-inspired costume is actually pretty old.
The actress made sure to call out her union Saturday by throwing up shots of her getup this year -- Gogo Yubari from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" ... which came out way back in 2003. Naturally, alongside her was her BF Machine Gun Kelly dressed as Uma Thurman.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Megan apparently thought these costumes -- which are undoubtedly awesome -- were a big F-U to SAG ... evidenced in the fact that she tagged @sagaftra in her Instagram post.
Of course, she was calling out their strict rules that made the rounds a couple weeks ago -- which basically forbade union actors from rocking costumes from struck work ... all in an effort to show solidarity amid the ongoing strike, with negotiations actually underway right now.
In MF's mind ... this was a way to protest that, we suppose -- even though she kinda misses the mark here. Fact is, 'Kill Bill' is ancient at this point ... and no one's going around promoting it in 2023 and making Miramax money as a result (the studio that distributed it).
What SAG was getting at with their "guidance" was obviously aimed at big blockbusters that were released this year ... and which stars might be inclined to mimic for spooky season.
"Barbie" is the big one that immediately comes to mind ... but there are other hits this year that were on the table as potential go-to 'stumes. Interestingly enough, however, it doesn't appear that Hollywood, at large, bucked SAG's guidelines ... from what we can see, people weren't really dressed as characters from movies/TV shows that might make the guild frown.
The costumes that were on display all weekend amounted to a random mishmash of pop culture references and classic ghouls/monsters -- with celebs seemingly standing firm.
Now, that's not to say SAG's memo to their members didn't piss some people off ... it certainly did. Not only did Megan bristle -- but Ryan Reynolds and Mandy Moore did too.
Funny enough, this topic actually served as the premise for a sketch on 'SNL' last night ... with Sarah Sherman playing SAG union Prez Fran Drescher -- and pooh-poohing little kids in film-esque outfits. 😅
In any case, all's well that ends well ... here's hoping the strike is over sooner than later.
And yes, Happy Halloween!

JONATHAN MAJORS La película "Magazine Dreams" es suspendida indefinidamente
Jonathan Majors se suponía que tenía una película por salir este año, pero eso no pasará por el momento, pues Disney ha decidido ponerla en pausa, en medio de su juicio pendiente por asalto.
"Magazine Dreams" ha sido cancelado indefinidamente por estudio, que tenía previsto estrenar la película bajo su filial Searchlight Pictures a principios de diciembre. A partir de ahora, sin embargo, la fecha de lanzamiento de la película se ha movido a "no fijado".
El momento no es ninguna sorpresa, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio penal de Jonathan Majors ha sido programado para el 29 de noviembre, solo una semana más o menos antes del estreno inicial de "Magazine Dreams". Teniendo en cuenta que Disney no sabe qué camino tomarán las cosas en los tribunales, están cubriendo sus apuestas por él.
Por extraño que parezca, se procedió con la temporada 2 de "Loki", que cuenta con Majors en gran medida, y que en realidad ha recibido críticas muy favorables en los últimos tiempos, especialmente por su actuación como Kang.
Por un lado, Disney parece haberlo apoyado sacando adelante "Loki" sin problemas, pero, por otro lado, están frenando el rodaje de una película centrada exclusivamente en él como protagonista.
Por supuesto, está la huelga de actores en curso, que también podría estar influyendo en ello.
Para enredar las aguas aún más, están todos los giros que ha tomado el caso judicial de Majors, incluyendo el hecho de que la policía de Nueva York detuvo a su denunciante y ex novia, Grace Jabbari, bajo sospecha de asalto, a pesar de que la oficina del fiscal de Manhattan dice que no la están procesando.
En otras palabras, su detención no servirá de nada y resultó ser un movimiento muy extraño de parte de los policías, dando a entender que simplemente no están en sintonía con el D.A. allí.
El D.A. mientras tanto, ha añadido munición adicional a sus pruebas, con un informe de la policía del Reino Unido que sugiere que una mujer separada acusó a Jonathan Majors de violencia también. Los detalles de ese supuesto incidente, sin embargo, no están claros.
Luego, están todas esas fotos/videos de vigilancia de Jabbari la noche del suceso, donde se ve bien después de haber sido supuestamente maltratada. Como hemos dicho, todo ha sido muy raro.
En cualquier caso, todo saldrá a la luz muy pronto, después de un montón de retrasos, la pelea finalmente va ante un jurado y suponemos que sabremos cuál es el destino de Majors con Disney para entonces.
Jonathan Majors 'Magazine Dreams' Film Yanked Indefinitely Amid Assault Trial
Jonathan Majors was supposed to have an Oscar-buzzy film come out this year -- but that ain't happening now, 'cause Disney's hitting pause ... this amid his pending assault trial.
The actor's bodybuilding drama, "Magazine Dreams," has been yanked indefinitely by the Mouse House ... which was due to release this flick under its Searchlight Pictures subsidiary in early December. As of now, though, the film's release date has been moved to "unset."
The timing is no surprise, considering JM's criminal trial has been scheduled to start on Nov. 29 ... just a week or so before "Magazine Dreams" was originally set for its debut. Considering Disney doesn't know which way things will go in court -- they're hedging their bets on him.
Strangely enough ... they proceeded with season 2 of "Loki," which heavily features Majors -- and which has actually gotten rave reviews of late, especially for his performance as Kang.
The guy finds himself in limbo at the moment -- on the one hand, Disney seems to have stood by him by not replacing him in the MCU and by trotting out "Loki" without issue ... but on the other hand, they're slowing their roll on a film that solely focuses on him as the star.
Of course, there's the actors' strike that's ongoing -- so that, too, could be playing into this.
Muddying up the waters even further, of course, have been all the twists and turns in Majors' case itself ... including the fact that the NYPD arrested his accuser/ex-GF, Grace Jabbari, on suspicion of assault -- even though the Manhattan D.A.'s office says they're not prosecuting.
In other words, her arrest will amount to nothing -- and it proved to be a very strange move by the cops ... showing that they're simply not on the same page with the D.A. there.
The D.A. meanwhile has added apparent extra ammo to their evidence war chest -- throwing in a UK police report of alleged DV in England ... suggesting a separate woman has accused JM of violence as well. The details of that alleged incident, however, aren't clear.
Then, there are all those surveillance pics/videos of Jabbari the night of ... looking quite alright after allegedly getting brutalized. Like we said, the whole thing has been weird as hell.
In any case, all will come to light soon enough -- after a lot of delays, this thing's finally going before a jury ... and we suppose we'll learn what Majors' fate is with Disney by then.
