A Real Housewife of Potomac has come forward with explosive allegations against her estranged husband including claims that he preyed on her when she was a young dancer, abused her, and “threatened her existence.”
“I’m tired of protecting a predator, one who pays for sexual favors, who preys on young women and master manipulates them into sex slaves,” wrote the Bravolebrity in a lengthy post.

In a series of recent posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), Mia Thornton opened up about the emotional and psychological toll her marriage to Gordon Thornton has taken on her while praising her “safe space”, her rekindled flame, Inc.
Mia revealed in her Instagram post that she first met Gordon at The Men’s Club Charlotte when she was just 19, and he was a frequent customer who spent lavishly. “Naturally, I was fresh bait,” she wrote. She alleged that Gordon manipulated her into believing he was a successful and influential figure when that was far from the case.
“He masterminded and manipulated me into thinking he was this successful and powerful pillar in the community,” wrote Mia. “Maybe he once was, but his bones were buried deep. He won me in by showing interest in a charity organization that I was affiliated with and connected me with prominent people in the city.”
She went on to say that when she attempted to distance herself from Gordon early in their relationship, he allegedly began stalking her, showing up at her home unannounced, and pressured her into compliance.
“He told me if I didn’t follow his guidance, I would never amount to anything,” said Mia.
She added that Gordon said he was looking for a woman who would make him a “kept man” and said he taught her the ways of business so she could “be his worker.”

After at first being proud of running a multi-million dollar business at just 24 years old, Mia said that things went left because Gordon “didn’t know when to stop spending” or “buying women” and he allegedly cheated on her with her friend in their house.
That pivotal moment apparently drove her back to her first love, Inc.
“After walking in on him having sex and making out with a friend of mine in our home I soon decided that this wsas not what I wanted nor deserved,” wrote Mia. “So I followed my heart and ran back to my love INC. Inc has been and will always be my safe place.
According to Mia, Gordon went nuclear and “threatened her existence” before telling her he was bankrupt and begging her to stay to help. Now, however, the #RHOP star says she’s finished and she’s taking a defiant stance.
“It took me over a decade to gain the confidence and independence to live life on my terms,” she wrote. “I’m tired of protecting a predator, one who pays for sexual favors, who preys on young women and master manipulates them into sex slaves. I’m setting myself free and while I still haven’t told all, I guarantee you he will not win this time,” she concluded.

One of the first to comment on the post encouraged Mia to delete her post for the sake of her kids and said she should be like her #RHOP cast mates and express herself less on social media.
“I’m not my castmates ,” responded Mia. “My young children don’t have social. Third. It’s my IG and I live a God driven life.”
Another one added that Mia should be conscious that her children will see her allegations against their father and will know they “weren’t made in love.” To that she responded;
“People use sperm donors all the time. That doesn’t mean the children are not made with love.”
When another alleged that Mia stayed with Gordon until his money ran out, she replied;
“No when I began to heal. Money Ran dry a year after Marriage. I stayed for another 10 years…so praying for you as well Queen.”
On X, Mia also posed a question to her followers about an ex-husband reuqesting alimony.
“Question for the people. Should a wife who worked during her entire marriage be responsible for paying her soon to be ex-husband alimony because he’s 30+ years older than her and says he can’t find a job,” wrote Mia.
YIKES!

Pink Postpones Upcoming Concerts, Cites ‘Reasons Beyond My Control’
SLIDERPink fans in the Midwest are sure to be a little disappointed … ’cause she just postponed a few shows out there — a decision she says it out of her hands.
The singer-songwriter posted to Instagram Saturday morning … telling ticketholders in Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa she’s gotta put off the shows she planned in their states.
Pink doesn’t explain why she’s can’t perform on the scheduled dates … chalking it up to “reasons beyond my control.”
No new dates for fans who had tickets yet … but, Pink says she plans to release the rescheduled concert dates soon — before thanking everyone for their understanding.
Pink is in the middle of her “Summer Carnival” tour … and, because she’s not performing in these next four shows, she’s now got a long hiatus. Her next show is scheduled for November 3 in Austin, Texas.
The singer posted as recently as yesterday by the way, sharing pics and videos of Graham Cracker … the dog she’s fostering while on tour in hopes of finding him a permanent home.
We’ve reached out to Pink’s people about what prompted the cancelation … so far, no word back.

The born-again baddie continues to level up as her life reaches new heights. The special moment took place in front of Howard’s Homecoming crowd on Friday. After a year and a half together, the rapper was ready to put a ring on it.
According to the bride-to-be herself, it’s about time! As BOSSIP previously reported, Chyna was asking, “Where my ring at?” back in August. Clearly, her man knows her well because he didn’t wait much longer. Of course, she said, “Yes!”

DJ Quick Silva captured the matrimony-making moment from the Yard Fest concert stage.
How cute! And the ring was most definitely ringing!
Chyna’s mom, Tokyo Toni, was also behind her daughter, physically and emotionally. She jumped up and down with tears in her eyes as the surprise proposal went down.
Chyna shares 7-year-old daughter Dream with her former fiancé Rob Kardashian and 12-year-old son King Cairo with Tyga.
The lovebirds first made their relationship Instagram official in September 2023. The mom of two knew a picture is worth a thousand words, so she needed no caption except heart and prayer emojis when she shared a snuggled-up snap with Milano. By this point, they were already locked in for months.

They had also come back stronger after making up and breaking up, which she confirmed about the coupledom on their first anniversary in May.

Rivalry, Rings, & Rising Dreams: Angel Reesew & Caitlin Clark’s Court Competition Could Spark Future Triumph Together: ‘Hopefully, We Can Be Teammates’
CELEBRITY NEWS, NEWSBossip Video
The rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark has been one for the ages, but in a recent interview, Reese gave fans a glimmer of hope that she could see the dynamic duo teaming up in the future.

Reese and Clark have been going head-to-head since childhood, and their rivalry has only grown as their talent has soared. Both players have carved out their own spots in the WNBA as future icons, but it’s their shared history of competition and mutual respect that makes their rivalry so intriguing.
Friendly Rivalry Turned Viral Scandal
Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty
During the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament championship final, things reached a whole new level. Reese, who led LSU to victory, found herself in the spotlight for more than just her game. She famously waved her hand in front of her face, John Cena-style, as a taunt towards Clark, while pointing to her ring finger—a bold reminder that she was about to secure that championship ring.
It was a moment that set the internet on fire, turning into an instant meme and placing both Reese and Clark, as well as women’s basketball, into the mainstream sports conversation.
If there’s one thing Angel Reese believes in, it’s that trash talk belongs in the game. In the interview, she emphasized how essential it is for athletes, especially women, to embrace on the court.
After the championship game, Reese received some criticism for her in-your-face celebration. But the best part? Caitlin Clark had no problem with it!
What’s Next For Angel Reese?

Fans got a sneak peek of what a Reese-Clark team-up could look like during this year’s WNBA All-Star Game when the two played on the same team. Reese has made it clear she’s open to the idea of joining forces with Clark in the future, and we can only imagine what that could mean for the WNBA.
While basketball is undoubtedly Reese’s primary focus, she’s also got her eyes on some serious off-the-court goals. In the Wall Street Journal interview, Reese opened up about her dreams beyond winning WNBA championships. She hopes to one day own a professional basketball team and even start a modeling agency.
And she’s not just dreaming—she’s already making moves. Angel is part-owner of the DC Power Football Club (Power FC), a professional women’s soccer team in the USL Super League. Reese’s ambition is to help elevate women’s sports by giving back in a meaningful way—whether that’s through ownership, advocacy, or mentorship.
Whether or not the two become teammates one day, one thing is certain: the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is already legendary. And who knows? Maybe their next chapter will involve raising a WNBA trophy together.

Thugger Luther King: Young Thug Calls For Peace Between Future, Drake, & Metro Boomin From Behind Bars–“Music Ain’t The Same Without Us Collabin”

Young Thug attempts to broker peace between his friends tweeting Future, Drake, and Metro Boomin a reminder they’re all “bruddas”.
Hip-hip in recent memory has been a group effort of artists collaborating and releasing music portraying the illusion of friendship. Earlier this year the entire culture banded together and decided it was time to kick Drake off the island. Since Future & Metro Boomin released “Like That” featuring Kendrick Lamar nothing was the same, literally. Drake once again was in a hip-hop battle but this one was different or as he puts it a “20 vs. 1“. Kendrick Lamar came out victor despite of how many people it seemed were complicit in the violence.

Young Thug has been fighting for his freedom in the YSL Rico trial, but his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist assured him he’s very aware of the beef. To kick off the weekend, Young Thug publicly addressed the feud and called for peace on all sides.
When Kendrick Lamar alleged Drake “colonized” Atlanta for his benefit no one spoke up to dismiss the claims. Thug however has always had high praise for Drake and their friendship. Perhaps the most surprising part was Future quickly retweeting Thug’s call for peace. Drake was limited in his shots towards Future claiming he believed Metro Boomin instigated the feud.
Out of all the conspirators in the career assassination of Drake, the hardest one to witness was Future. The former What A Time To Be Alive collaborators have delivered almost a decade of material and several North American tours. The timing of Thug’s tweet is also interesting due to the friends turned enemies planning to attend 21 Savage’s birthday party this weekend.
Peace is always the right call but can egos overlook embarrassment, pedo allegations, and petty slander?

Liam Payne on Drugs When He Died, Police Say Substance Makes Users Hallucinate
SLIDERLiam Payne was under the influence of a potent drug, known to cause psychotic attacks and hallucinations, when he died … according to police in Argentina.
Cops in Buenos Aires tell TMZ … Liam was high on a substance called “Cristal,” which police say causes users to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, often making them aggressive.
Photos from inside Liam’s hotel room show the place trashed … his TV was smashed and there was drug paraphernalia in the room, which was littered with broken objects.
Cops say Liam’s drug use here may be the reason his room was such a mess … and it goes towards his state of mind at the time of his apparent suicide.
Police have said Liam jumped to his death from the balcony of his third-floor suite at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel … and it sounds like this drug, and its effects, could be to blame for his erratic behavior.
Police say they don’t know for sure why Liam jumped … but one theory is he may have been hallucinating as a result of the illicit substance he was using. The investigation is ongoing.
As we reported … a couple years ago Liam revealed he had suicidal thoughts back in the day when he was hooked on drugs and touring with One Direction.
But, as we first told you, earlier this year Liam was telling people he was sober.

Perilous Psittacine Donald Trump Parrots Project 25 With Promises To Close The Department Of Education, Egregiously Says Slavery-Teaching Schools Should Be Defunded
NEWS, POLITICSBossip Video
In today’s episode of Trump Is Still Trying To Keep America Dumb For Obvious Reasons, the ex-president made an in-person appearance on Fox & Friends to, once again, float around the idea of shutting down the federal Department of Education to ensure that everything educators are teaching in classrooms is whitey-approved. (He didn’t actually say that last part, but the last few years of anti-woke GOPropaganda proves that’s exactly what he was getting at.)
Source: Michael M. Santiago / Getty
He also said he would punish schools that teach about slavery. When Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade asked about schools in liberal states or cities teaching that America was “built off the backs of slaves on stolen land”, Trump said they’d be defunded.
Trump made the same campaign promise last month during a rally in Wisconsin.
First of all, neither Trump nor any of his loyal MAGA minions give a damn about students being “indoctrinated” as long as it’s the right kind of doctrine. Indoctrination, in their minds, only happens when kids are being taught about the spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations that exist. To them, it’s indoctrination when students are taught that systemic racism is a thing in a country where Black people were barred from accessing the “American dream” through two and a half centuries of slavery and another century of legally sanctioned second-class citizenship.
However, it wasn’t indoctrination in their minds when Louisiana officially became the first state in U.S. history to require by law that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school in the state from kindergarten through college. It wasn’t indoctrination when Florida education officials approved requirements to teach students that enslaved people benefited from slavery and that Black victims of race massacres also committed acts of violence. Those same officials selected PragerU — an unaccredited conservative non-profit organization founded by a loud and proud racist — to provide classroom materials to Florida schools. PragerU produced animated videos for children that taught, among other things, that Frederick Douglass, a slave-turned-abolitionist, would have agreed with America’s choice to prioritize white supremacy over ending slavery.
Trump, however, hasn’t threatened Florida’s Board of Education with any kind of sanctions under his future presidency, because when he talks about indoctrination, he doesn’t mean white nationalist indoctrination, because that kind of propaganda is his political bread and butter.
What Trump doesn’t seem to understand is that as much as he tries to distance himself from Project 2025 — the Heritage Foundation’s pro-fascism brainchild aimed at permanently MAGA-tizing the federal government once Trump is back in office — he can’t seem to stop saying the Project 2025 part out loud.
One of the tenets of Project 2025 that opponents have highlighted the most is its intent to rid the country of its Department of Education.
Speaking of which, recently, reporters for Hip Hop Hollywood spoke to Black men between the ages of 18-65 and had them read excerpts from the conservative plan for America and share their thoughts on camera. The interviews covered, among other things, the project’s impact on education should it ever be enacted.
You can watch the video below. Spoiler alert: Black men weren’t feeling any of it.
NWA Was Right: Cop-Turned-Teacher Reenacted George Floyd Murder At Minnesota High School

George Floyd’s murder literally set America on fire. Police officer Derek Chauvin became the most hated man in the country next to Donald Trump for killing Floyd in broad daylight in front of a group of pleaded witnesses. It was one of the most disturbing and egregious examples of police brutality that these 50 states have ever seen. It’s not a thing to be played with, mocked, or taken lightly, however, ACAB.
According to CBSNews, a police officer named Steven Williams was moonlighting as a substitute teacher as Woodbury High School when he was accused of using students to reenact the Floyd murder in addition to making sexist jokes and racially insensitive comments. The school’s principal, Sarah Sorenson-Wagner, had to send a letter home to parents to explain that the incident was unprovoked and that the police are now investigating.
As a result of this alleged infraction, Williams has been placed on administrative leave. School district officials say that Williams is no longer allowed on any district property.
Students at the school told officials that Williams also demonstrated police tactics on students like twisting their arms behind their backs and pressing painful pressure points. Additionally, Williams allegedly told his students that “police brutality isn’t real”. Apparently, this bacon boy thinks a badge means you can do whatever you want, including harming and killing.
Suffice to say, parents were none-too-pleased about the news…
Fire this POS from the police department AND from teaching!

Ex-MTV Host Ananda Lewis Reacts To Backlash About Mastectomy Amid Stage 4 Breast Cancer Progression: ‘I Did The Right Thing’
CELEBRITY NEWS, NEWSMTV alum Ananda Lewis is setting the record straight about refusing a double mastectomy for her breast cancer, which reached Stage 4: “Today, I am fantastic!”

Concern and clapbacks flooded in about how Lewis handles her health after snippets and quotes about “keeping her tumor” recently went viral. As previously reported Lewis said she wanted to choose her own path after seeing how conventional options played out before. Lewis’ mother seemingly did everything right, from regular mammograms to the doctor-recommended treatments, but still struggled with the same illness.
Now in an interview this week with Shameika Rhymes on Soulibration for BlackDoctor.org, Lewis set the record straight about her health and healing.
The former Teen Summit host also clarified that she wasn’t against all conventional medicine. Lewis would have considered other procedures, just not a double mastectomy at that time.

Others are “entitled to their opinion,” but Lewis hopes they are vigilant, open-minded, and doing research about their health. The main lessons the vibrant VJ veteran wants everyone to take are prevention and early detection.
Just like she encourages people to do their own research for their health, she urges everyone to watch the full story shared in the CNN roundtable with her friends, Stephanie Elam and Sara Sidner.
The beloved former VJ has been open about her journey since 2020. After two years of battling the illness in private, she announced the Stage 3 diagnosis on social media. Since then, the cancer continued to spread as she pursued alternatives to a double mastectomy. Lewis cares more about possibilities for others than debating about what could’ve been for herself.
Last year, “things got worse” as the illness progressed, but now, she feels better with new approaches. “Today, I am fantastic. All of that led me to better solutions!” she confirmed, as she continues working for the “least harm to my body and the most good.”
See what Ananda Lewis said about whether refusing surgery “might have been a mistake” and the rest of her interview after the flip.
Ananda Lewis Discusses Her “Integrative” Approach To Cancer Treatment And Reflects On Her Choices: “I’m Living With The Consequences”
After seeing her mother go through the conventional treatments, the TV personality chose an “integrative” approach. That included doing “chemotherapy but tiny micro amounts.” Lewis also tried red light therapy, “high-dose vitamin C IVs followed by hyperbaric chambers,” and other homeopathic therapies.”
The 51-year-old said she’s embracing every part of her journey, including “whatever mistakes.”
Of course, the stakes are high for these life-or-death decisions. Lewis has made peace with all that, saying that she’s confronting the inevitable.
She also candidly confessed that alternative medicine is “ridiculously expensive.” Many of her recent struggles came from struggles to afford her treatments consistently.

The Louisiana rapper is now dating his private chef LeahAngelie Murphy, according to reports from TMZ.
Wayne previously got into it with his former personal chef, who claims the rapper fired her after she left him in Las Vegas to deal with a pressing family emergency. The chef, Morghan Medlock, filed a lawsuit against Lil Wayne for what she claims is wrongful termination, retaliation, and multiple unlawful practices when he fired her in 2022 because she went to go help her injured son.
Despite the lawsuit, it looks like that termination worked in Wayne’s favor, introducing him to his now-girlfriend.
TMZ revealed on Friday, Oct. 18, that Wayne and Murphy started working together at the beginning of 2023, shortly after his last chef situation blew up. Romance started to flourish between the two of them shortly after, and according to the outlet, they’ve been together ever since.
