As previously reported the Peacock series returned on Sunday, Oct. 6 with three new celebrity queens; LisaRaye, London “Deelishis” Charles, and K. Michelle. The trio is seen rifling through 22 potential partners in an unconventional way with help from Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete.
For K. Michelle, viewers are seeing a different side of her, one that’s vulnerable yet strong, open yet discerning as she seeks someone to be her peace amid her bustling career. Still, she admittedly had hangups about the Queens Court process.
“That was different for me. I don’t like men that would even go on TV to try and date me,” the singer admitted to BOSSIP. “That’s not my type of man that’s not my thing.”
Despite her reservations, however, she admitted to being impressed by the caliber of the men involved.
“A lot of them were very well-off, but most importantly, they were gentlemen,” she shared. “I made great friends from that show and they were really some great guys.”

The singer told BOSSIP that her ideal man is someone who’s healed, not famous (and doesn’t want to be), God-fearing, family-driven, and presumably from the South.
“I naturally like southern men and I’m at the phase where I don’t like mean men. I like men that treat me like a princess,” she said.
What her perfect match is not, however, is a particular race.
On the show, K. Michelle is courted by two white men, and according to the “Can’t Raise A Man” singer, she could care less about detractors who take issue with it.

“I don’t be caring. They get so mad at me about things like that,” K. Michelle told BOSSIP. “Yes, I like white men. I love me a white man. Sorry, I enjoy them,” she added noting that for her, attraction knows no bounds. “You like what you like… I’m attracted to all men… I love my brothers and all of that, but I’m very much open to love.”
“I’m going to like who I like and I don’t discriminate due to color. I like me a white man with a man bun, I enjoy that,” she added with a laugh.
Speaking of the pool of suitors on the show, K. Michelle made sure to note that she wasn’t interested in competing with LisaRaye and Deelishis for the men’s affection on Queens Court.
“I’m not competitive,” said K. Michelle noting that her perspective on relationships is rooted in self-assurance. “Some women see you and what you have and they want it, and that’s human life, that happens with me a lot. My thing is, a man doesn’t know what he wants.”
“If you could like her, then couldn’t possibly like me” she added. “Once you’ve dabbled with someone else, I don’t want no parts of it. I don’t want that woman’s juices. I don’t comingle like that.”

K. Michelle Talks Her Country Music Career
While her dating life takes center stage on Queen’s Court, K. Michelle remains focused on her career, particularly in the country music genre where Black artists are having a bit of a renaissance.
“This is completely different from R&B,” the singer who sings as Puddin in the genre told BOSSIP. “If you’re in country, as a country writer or country artist, it’s about the dedication and the time and being in the city and living like that.”
With that in mind, she now spends much of her time in Nashville, writing with some of the biggest names in the industry which she loves.
“Every morning I wake up, I write with some of the biggest writers in Nashville, period.”
With the pressure to succeed, she remains committed to making “great music” and putting out an album that reflects her dedication and artistry.
“I feel like culture is rooting for me,” she told BOSSIP. “It can really do a lot for culture and just women.”

Dr. Dre’s Ex-Psychiatrist Files for Restraining Order Against Him
SLIDERDr. Dre‘s former psychiatrist isn’t just suing him, he’s downright terrified of him — so much so, he’s asking a judge to order the music mogul to stay away … TMZ has learned.
Dr. Charles Sophy filed for a temporary restraining order Friday in L.A. County Court … citing the alleged threats he says Dre texted him over the course of 18 months. Sophy, who had served as a marriage counselor for Dre and his now ex-wife Nicole during their divorce, wants the court to force Dre to stay 100 yards away from him and his 22-year-old son.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, he also wants Dre to stop contacting him altogether … whether by phone, text or email. Sophy’s fear is evident in the documents — he says Dre knows where he lives, and has previously been inside his home.
Sophy doesn’t even trust his dogs, Maxx and Cash, are safe from Dre … he’s officially requesting the judge order Dre to stay away from them, too.
As we reported, Sophy’s filed a $10 million lawsuit against Dre … claiming the “Forgot About Dre” rapper started sending threatening texts in February 2023 — 14 months after Dre and Nicole finalized their divorce.
He claims the texts include Dre calling him a “bitch” and ominous warnings like, “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you.”
The judge has not yet granted Sophy’s request.
For his part, Dre, through his attorney Howard King, says Sophy “maliciously” tried to turn Dre’s son against him during the divorce. He’s accusing Sophy of malpractice, and has filed a complaint with the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, seeking to get his medical license revoked.

Get Over It, Brotha: Barack Obama Blasts Black Male MAGAs And Those Choosing Not To Vote
NEWS, POLITICSBossip Video

The 2024 presidential election is just 25 days away and the race is tighter than a pair of Young Thug’s skinny jeans—it’s time to turn up the pressure and ensure that Donald Trump and his couch-canoodlin’ cohort JD Vance don’t become the Joker and Harley Quinn of Washington, D.C. To that end, former President Barack Obama hopped on the campaign trial in Pittsburgh to stump for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz to become POTUS and VPOTUS and he was in rare form.
Barry O spent the first few minutes of his time joking, mocking, and admonishing Donald Trump for, well…everything that Donald Trump says and does—a relatively standard practice.
Once the fun and games were over, President Obama’s tone shifted to an annoyed, incredulous, even angry. It’s not often that you hear seething from the man who is critically acclaimed as one of the best orators alive but it was palpable as Obama tore into Vice President Harris’ opponent’s abhorrent behavior and general ineptitude.
Obama was clearly feeling a type of way prior to this speech. Prior to taking the stage, he appeared at a local Pittsburgh Harris-Walz campaign office where he asked the sparse group of mostly Black staff to oblige him while he “speaks some truths”.
The 44th President of the United States of America went on to call a thing “a thing” and directly addressed the polling stating that VP Harris is hemorrhaging support from the Black male demographic. He minced no words.
“And you are thinking about sitting out? Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
Peep his remarks in full in the video below.
The podcasters, hoteps, ADOS, Black MAGAs, and other useful idiots are going to ARGUE about this one.

During the final minutes of TVEI Streaming Network’s new two-episode documentary Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, Abi claims she was abused by the singer as a child. She also reveals that she first reported it to her mother Andrea in 2009, when she was 10 years old.
Buku continued, “I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”
In the first episode, Abi, who was born Joann Kelly, doesn’t go into more detail about the alleged abuse, but she does say that she thinks jail is a “well-suited place” for her father, which she knows from her “personal experience.”
Abi does go into more detail in about the alleged abuse in the second episode, revealing it happened when she was 8 or 9.
Buku went on to say that she eventually told her mother what happened, and they went to the police and filed a complaint as “Jane Doe.”
Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean responded to these allegations in a statement to PEOPLE, saying: “Mr. Kelly vehemently denies these allegations. His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded…. And the ‘filmmakers,’ whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims.”
R. Kelly was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges of child pornography and enticement of minors for sex in Feb. 2023. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison a year prior for racketeering and sex trafficking charges based out of New York.
He’s currently serving 19 years of his two sentences and will be eligible for release in 2045.

Netflix’s reality show Starting 5 features LeBron and Savannah James discussing Bronny’s cardiac arrest for the first time and his road to recovery.
After the success of Quarterback, and Receiver, Netflix has finally tackled the NBA with Starting 5. On the show, we watch emotional moments like Jimmy Butler breaking the third wall mid-season after the passing of his father.

Jimmy goes from being focused on securing an NBA championship to flat-out revealing it just doesn’t matter because the grief overrode everything.
Another surprising moment came in the form of LeBron and Savannah James discussing Bronny’s cardiac arrest for the first time.
Last July, Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during workouts at USC and was rushed to Cedars Sani Hospital. A congenital heart defect likely caused Bronny James’ medical episode and he quickly had surgery to fix the issue before hitting the court for USC.
During the Netflix series, LeBron and Savannah James emotionally revealed that they “almost lost Bronny.”
We also learn LeBron cautioned Bronny about returning to basketball play despite Bronny being cleared for his medical return to sports on November 30, only four months later.
We all know how the story ends, Bronny is now a Los Angeles Laker alongside his pops becoming the first father-son duo in the NBA. For this to happen, Bronny had to put in the work off the court and away from cameras. Luckily it paid off.
You can watch Bron and Savannah discussing the traumatic event below.
Lupita Nyong’o Says She’s Single After Former Fling Joshua Jackson Was Seen Stepping Out With Someone New

During a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the 41-year-old actress seemingly confirmed that her romance with Joshua Jackson has come to an end. While she didn’t address that relationship, specifically, she did make it very clear that the only love in her life right now is for her cat, Yoyo.
Nyong’o adopted Yoyo at the end of 2023, shortly after she announced her split from ex-boyfriend Selema Masekela. It wasn’t long after that she and Jackson–who also went through a recent split–first sparked dating rumors. The pair were seen spending a lot of time together in Los Angeles after Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson, going on to spend a romantic weekend in Mexico to celebrate Lupita’s birthday in March.
After they seemed to confirm their relationship on that PDA-filled vacation, the couple went quiet, and in September, Jackson was seen out in New York City with model Nastassja Roberts. Joshua’s new companion sparked rumors that his romance with Lupita was over, and now, it looks like that’s the case.
In her Harper’s Bazaar UK interview, Nyong’o didn’t open up any more about that romance, but she did appear to speak on her 2023 breakup from Masekela.
While Nyong’o was open with fans following that heartbreak, it’s safe to say the actress won’t be sharing so much in the future.
