It’s hard to hear when you’re wrong, but sometimes the adult thing to do is to admit blame

Judge Lynn Toler is back to help another couple on Thursday night’s episode of ‘Commit Or Quit.’ We’ve got an exclusive sneak preview clip for your viewing pleasure and this one might shock you a little.

If you’ve been keeping up, this show is all about couples who’ve reached a roadblock in their relationships who ask Judge Lynn Toler to help them figure out if they can fix their issues and fully commit or if they’re better off calling it quits. On this week’s episode, Judge Toler meets with Mackenzie and Unique about their communication issues.

Right off the bat, Mac opens up about Unique fixating on the negative and never rewarding him when he addresses her complaints.

“You don’t highlight when I do things that you ask me to fix,” Mac tells Unique.

“I definitely didn’t know that I wasn’t showing my appreciation for the things that you’ve changed, because in the past I would try to show these things to you,” Unique says.

“In the past,” Judge Toler, interrupts her, before continuing. “I’m trying to help you out. The grown woman’s response is, ‘I hear you baby and you’ll know from now on.’ Bam.”

“Bam, there you go,” Unique concludes.

If only it was as easy as that. Judge Toler won’t give Unique an easy out though.

“You got upset when I redirected you,” Judge Toler admonishes. “This is basic man/woman stuff and you are just indignant about it.”

“You hang on to the stuff that I do that you don’t like,” Mac adds. “But you never say ‘Hey listen, I see you did something good.’
I’m not trying to put you down, there’s no shade. I don’t want you to feel no type of way.”

“Nah we good,” Unique reassures him.

“No you’re not good,” Judge Toler responds. “That was a bold-faced lie. I can’t help you if you’re not truthful with me. You’re not good and you know you’re not good. You’re hot as a firecracker. How are you going to call me out here?”

At this point, Unique has had enough. She storms off from the couch and tells production not to follow her. As you see her walking first outside, then upstairs, she mutters, “I’m not going to sit there all night, cuz I’m not dealing with this.”

Watch the clip below:

Do you think Unique should be embarrassed over how she reacted? Or is it only natural that she would be defensive?

Here’s what else to expect from the episode:

Mac’s been married once and doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice. Unique is ready for a real commitment, but social media is killing their relationship. Judge Toler will decide if they should Commit or Quit!

Queen Latifah Addresses The Blatant Disregard Designers Show For Plus Sized Clientele

In the clip, Queen Latifah joins ‘Red Table Talk’ and discusses the difficulties she faced as a fuller-sized woman trying to stay stylish.

“When your mom is the ideal beauty for us as Black people,” Latifah says, addressing Willow Smith. “She look like my little mini-me when we stand next to each other. I had to figure out how to find clothes that look right on me, on my size, in this world, when designers are not creating those fashion brands that have these sizes. If I was a size 24 and I have style, I still want to rock what the size 2 is wearing. Designers are like ‘No we’re going to stop right here.’ Okay, have you checked the stats on the sizes of the rest of the country? I think you might want to make some clothes in that size. That’s when I realized you don’t want to get it. You don’t want us to look like this. You don’t want us to live this fullness.”

Watch the clip below:

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-f659d1763b5f216b087cf87c2470d039’) if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { ‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’, ‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-f659d1763b5f216b087cf87c2470d039’ }, “https:\/\/embeds.go.ione.nyc” ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( ’embeds.go.ione.nyc’ !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case ‘poll_size:response’: var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width ) iframe.width = ‘100%’; if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); } } )();

She makes incredible points.

The Queen is such a beautiful and talented spirit. Talk about paving the way in so many ways. She’s been a rapper, singer, Broadway star, television star, movie star, producer and so much more and she has NEVER stopped. All hail the queen! For real.

A new episode of the Emmy-winning “Red Table Talk” with Queen Latifah will stream Wednesday, June 8 at 9am PT/12pm ET on Facebook Watch.

From Swoonin’ To Swervin’: Lori Harvey And Michael B. Jordan Officially Split After A Year And A Half Together

,

We were rooting for y’all!

One of our favorite celebrity couples cut “Nugget and Turtle” ties. On Saturday, People reported that Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey broke up after a year and a half-long romance. The former lovebirds “are both completely heartbroken. They still love each other,” according to a source close to the couple.

“Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time,” the source said. “They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”

The Real Thing?

It was all good just a few months ago! They both seemed to be head-over-heels as they celebrated their 1-year anniversary last November. In December, the Creed III director and star said this was his most public relationship because he “finally found what love was” and had something “real enough” to share with the world.

“When I was younger, I don’t know if I could have handled the onslaught of opinions and being picked apart, and also being conscious of what the other person’s going to go through. It takes a special person to deal with that,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“There’s a premeditated planning of staying out of the way [of the public eye] that sometimes kills spontaneity and intimacy. I wanted to take that away and give this the best chance it had, in this weird world that we live in, to be somewhat normal. Long story short, I think it’s just the timing of everything. It was the right time for me,” Michael said. “Yeah. I’m happy.”

Lori even sparked speculation about a little one on the way when she affectionately called the actor “babydaddy” in an NYE post about ringing in 2022 together. After a few high-profile relationships with men like Justin Combs and an engagement to soccer star Memphis Depay, something did seem special about this time around.

“We just really balance each other,” Lori couple goals-gushed about Michael during an appearance on The Real in September. “I really do believe in the statement when they say, ‘When you know you know.’ And I think that really applies to our situation and we just have a really good time together.”

Maybe the difference was Michael, who seemed very ready to settle down. He didn’t just go above and beyond for elaborate V-day plans and luxurious baecations. The model and influencer said he is “so sweet, very attentive; he listens to me and the things that I say that I want, and he really makes an effort.”

Writing on the Wall

Neither Lori nor Michael’s representatives commented on the split, leaving fans of the romance in disbelief. However, both of their actions speak louder than words in the recent months and weeks leading up to the announcement. They were last spotted together in March for their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

The Black Panther star was all-in and appeared ready to settle down, trading in his $7 million bachelor pad for a $12 million mansion in Encino, California two weeks ago. An engagement seemed inevitable any day now, but was the 25-year-old ready for a ring and MBJ’s new nest? Around the same time, she hit the red carpet solo to show off her super trim pilates body at Cannes Film Festival.

 

Lori was focused on securing the bag and maintaining her brand. She made headlines explaining the extreme diet and exercise regimen that helped her lose weight she gained by cuddling and eating good with her honey. If dropping relationship weight, wasn’t a sign that the relationship might follow, Steve Harvey tied to tell us. Although the comedic icon approved of  Mike, calling him “a really good guy,” he didn’t see marriage on the horizon. In March, Steve said he wasn’t ready to marry off Lori just yet.

Between the ditching the relationship weight in time for hot girl summer and a completely MBJ-free Instagram page hours after the announcement, it seems like the Lori is ready to move on sooner than later. Let’s take enjoy last look at the stunning couple.

‘Sweetie Pie’s’ Shooter Pleads Guilty, Implicates Reality Star Tim Norman In Hiring Hitman To Kill His Own Nephew

The STL Today reports that a man named Travell Anthony Hill pleaded guilty in court on Friday to shooting Andre Montgomery Jr. 

Hill was convicted on multiple counts for the conspiracy and committing the 2016 murder-for-hire of the 21-year-old former star of Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s. According to U.S. District Judge John A. Ross, both counts carry a mandatory life sentence. Andre’s killer may spend the rest of his life behind bars, but the shocking case is far from over.

Before his death, Andre regularly appeared on the reality show about a St. Louis-based soul food empire started by his grandmother, Robbie Montgomery. Instead of focusing on expanding his mother’s business and helping nephew Andre get his life on track, Tim Norman allegedly “wanted Montgomery dead.”

Travell Anthony Hill admitted to fatally shooting Andre in exchange for a $5,000 payment from Norman. Plenty of evidence put the pieces of this puzzle together, but Hill already admitted that part during calls to his brother from jail.

The plea implicates Tim as the mastermind who also hired Terica Ellis, an exotic dancer who previously dated Andre. They are both facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder. Detectives believe Tim paid her $10,000 to lure Andre to his death and told Hill where he was right before the shooting. If killing his own kin wasn’t cold-blooded enough, Tim expected a $450,000 payday from a life insurance policy he took out on Andre. He and his insurance agent Waiel Rebhi Yaghnam face additional charges of wire and mail fraud for their life insurance scheme, but Tim was never able to successfully cash out on the policy.

Evidence from Hill’s case paints a very different picture than fans saw on the hit OWN series.

Tim told Terica and others that he believed his nephew stole $200,000 from Ms. Robbie in a burglary. While police interviewed Andre about the break-in, he told officers he thought Tim stole the cash, jewelry, and other items. Andre also told them that Ms. Robbie was working to remove Tim’s name and access to Sweetie Pie’s business dealings. Four days after accusing Tim, Hill shot and killed Andre.

It takes a sick and twisted person to rob their mother or kill their nephew for money. Sadly, it sounds like Tim might have plotted to kill his late brother’s only child for quite a while. A year before the shooting, he took out the nearly half-million-dollar policy on his nephew and made himself the sole beneficiary. If there’s any doubt of how cold and calculating Tim can be, he kept up the act on camera for years of the reality show’s run until 2018. When fans heard the shocking news of his arrest, clips of him mourning Andre’s death went viral.

“I drove my mom through the park to the spot where Andre lost his life because I’ve not been there yet. I don’t think mom had been there either. We’ve lost a lot of family members on this street. Andre, as of late, and then before Andre, my father. Since Andre’s passing I haven’t gone through this part of the city. Really, I’ve been avoiding it,” he explained on an episode about his nephew’s death.

“Charles and I are the last boys left in this generation. We lost the entire family to violence, you know,” Tim said during the reunion.

Tim and Terica’s trial is scheduled to start in September.

‘Another Set Of Twins?!’ DJ Abby De La Rosa Announces Pregnancy A Year After Birth Of Twins With Sharp Shootin’ Seed-Spreader Nick Cannon

There might even be two VIPs on the list, according to People. Almost a year after welcoming twins with ferociously fertile father of eight Nick Cannon, DJ Abby De La Rosa revealed that she’s expecting again on her Instagram on Friday.

“I’M PREGNANT! Another set of twins?!” Abby teased after announcing the good news. For now, she’s keeping more information about the pregnancy under wraps unless you’re one of her subscribers. “I’ll be posting all the exclusive content and answering the questions y’all are dying to know!”

Of course, the question on everybody’s minds is: “If Nick Cannon has nine babies, does he get a 10th one free?” The father of Abby’s new bundle of joy is another detail she’s keeping private, or at least, behind a paywall. Do we really need a paid subscription to figure out this mystery? Internet detectives only have one suspect so far, the Turbanator.

“We discuss that there is nothing more healthy than a Virile Man! Go forth and multiply,” Nick wrote under a hilarious picture hanging approximately fiftyleven onesies from his feature in Men’s Health Magazine.

Abby became baby mama number 3 in Nick’s wild web of co-parenting, giving birth to their twin boys Zion Mixolydian Cannon & ZIllion Heir Cannon last June. We already know that twins run in his family, starting with 11-year-olds Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon with his ex-wife Mariah Carey. He also has a track record of spinning the block like he did with Brittany Bell, who gave birth to Golden “Sagon” Cannon in 2017 and Powerful Queen Cannon. His social media feed shows that he’s been spending plenty of time with Abby and the twins recently.

“OUR SON ZION WALKED TODAY!!!!” Abby posted on a video of Nick lovingly guiding their baby’s first steps last week. “ZILLION IS NEXT!! WE ARE SO AMAZED BY ALL THEIR PROGRESS! Watching them grow is so amazing!!! We are blessed!!”

“Can’t believe the boys are almost a year!! Young Zion Mixolydian aka Z-Mix already getting his Mozart on! Young Geniuses!” Nick bragged yesterday about little Zion, who looks ready to follow in his musical footsteps after mastering the physical footsteps.

Although “Mr. Ncredible” admitted he “wasn’t setting out to be Father Abraham” and that he’s entertaining offers to become a long-overdue vasectomy influencer, Nick and Abby both clearly love parenting. Whether the Wild ‘N’ Out creator is on baby number nine (and maybe 10) or just keeping the same cool co-parenting energy, the Range Rover he gave the Abby is perfect for three or four car seats.

Until we get more info about the new arrival or confirmation of a vasectomy date, Nick’s not beating the seed-spilling speculation anytime soon. Zion and Zillion already have another sibling on the way this year. In January, Nick shared that he’s expecting biracial baby number 8 with model Bre Tiesi. There is no visible baby bump in the 31-year-old DJ’s announcement posts so it’s still anyone’s guess when we’ll meet the adorable addition to Club Tummy

Congratulations, Abby!

Preciousness: Jeannie Mai Reveals Her And Jeezy’s Little Jewel, Baby Monaco Jenkins

Jeannie Mai Introduces Her Daughter On YouTube

Well five months after giving birth to little Monaco this January, Jeannie officially introduced her and Jeezy’s baby girl to the world.

Jeannie kicked off a 15-minute long episode of her popular YouTube show ‘Hello Hunnay,’ saying, “You’re going to meet somebody new, somebody shiny, somebody who smells so good — like five months good…”

Next Jeannie shared a collection of clips of her baby girl doing both adorable things like yawning, sleeping and getting her hair brushed, as well as disgusting things like peeing on the floor and pooping in Mama Mai’s hand. The video compilation also showed Monaco meeting Jeannie and Jeezy’s loved ones. Then around the 8-minute mark, Jeannie called her mother Mama Mai to bring the baby. As she waited, she expressed her fears about opening up her child to public scrutiny.

“I think online is so mean,” Jeannie said, covering her face with her hands.”Now I’m like scared.”

Monaco’s cries were audible in the background so Jeannie told the audience, “She needs a moment.”

“Every time I hear Monaco, it actually moves things in my body,” Jeannie revealed to the camera. “And even right now as I think about her about to see you guys, I get so nervous. I think this is what I was going through the past five months. It’s such a weird combination of being so excited and knowing the world is a really mean place sometimes and I can protect myself, I can block y’all, I can ignore the comments but you can’t do that with the baby. This is why it’s been so hard for me to get to this place — to share Monaco.”

“Honestly, this show has been therapy for me,” Jeannie continued.”Learning to experience, learning how to process, so it was weird for me to keep Monaco to myself these past five months. Especially because you guys were so helpful and encouraging in the whole process of being pregnant and celebrating with me, and suddenly when I had her it all shut down and became so guarded and protected and the whole time I missed my fam. I missed talking with you guys.”

“Without further adieu my fam, I’m so excited for you to meet Monaco Mai Jenkins,” Jeannie announced as Mama Mai came out with the baby, dressed in a leopard print onesie and yellow headwrap matching her grandmother. The baby smiled as her mom and grandmother sang to her.

Did y’all know that Monaco was from Greek — Mono Ekos — meaning one house? That’s deep. And here we were just thinking Jeannie and Jeezy were being bougie and naming her after that expensive sovereign city-state on the French Riviera

Baby Monaco is adorable right?!

Ironically the reveal comes the day before the final episode of “The Real” airs but fortunately the “Hello Hunnay” show moves on and hopefully Monaco will make regular appearances!
