Viola Davis Talks Lack Of Black Hair Care Professionals In Hollywood

As WE do what needs to be done to increase diversity in film and television, there continues to be an extreme lack of melanin behind the scenes. Viola Davis, for one, isn’t entertaining Hollywood’s incompetence.

In a recent interview with Ebony, the Academy Award-winning actress said she specifically hires beauticians who know how to do Black hair. When asked about dealing with the lack of hair care professionals who can cater to Black women in Hollywood, she shouted out her stylist and said she doesn’t depend on others to get her tresses right.

“That has not been my narrative, lately, in terms of hair because I refuse it. I reject it… I don’t think that people understand our hair…they don’t understand that we’re different, but yet, the same. What I find is hair is something that a lot of people don’t honor when you do film,” Davis explained, adding that she hires HER OWN stylists to make sure her hair is done properly.

Watch her speak on the issue below.

She also gets into what she meant when she said “regular Black women” are what’s missing from film.

Britney Spears’ Manager Weighs In On Superstar’s Mental Health & Return To The Stage

Last month, Britney Spears checked herself into a mental health facility, stating she needed “a moment.” Now, her manager Larry Rudolph says her return to the stage could be a lot more far off than indicated.

“As the person who guides her career — based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis — from what I have gathered it’s clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again,” Rudolph told TMZ.

“I don’t want her to work again ’till she’s ready, physically, mentally and passionately. If that time never comes again, it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again. I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I’m here to tell her if it’s a good idea or a bad idea.”

Rudolph says Britney’s father getting sick last year was the “perfect storm,” as she grew distraught to the point that they had to pull her Vegas residency. Currently, Britney seems to be M.I.A.

“Last summer, when she wanted to tour, she called me every day. She was excited. She hasn’t called me in months. Crickets. She clearly doesn’t want to perform now,” he adds.

Britney checked out of the mental health facility after a month of recuperating… but by the sound of things, it’s unclear how much help that did. Here’s what she was up to earlier this month…

We’ll keep you posted.

Omarosa Files Documents To Join Lawsuit Against Donald Trump For Pay Discrimination Based On Gender

It seems Trump reject and former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman is joining the fight against Trump, who’s being accused of gender discrimination by multiple women.

According to Vox, Newman filed documents on Wednesday to join a lawsuit against Trump and his campaign, alleging pay discrimination on the basis of gender.

“After nearly 20 years inside the Beltway, working for two White Houses and countless political campaigns, I’ve never witnessed such egregious violations as I did during my time under the leadership of Donald Trump and Mike Pence,” Newman said in a statement to Vox.

Omarosa is hoping to join a suit filed by Alva Johnson, a former Trump campaign staffer who says Trump kissed her without her consent in August 2016 AND paid her less than his White male staffers. Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, called Johnson’s misconduct allegation “absurd,” and a campaign spokesperson argued that her claims about pay were “unfounded.”

“The Trump campaign has never discriminated based on race, ethnicity, gender, or any other basis,” Kayleigh McEnany, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, said. “Any allegation suggesting otherwise is off base and unfounded.”

Riiight.

Newman isn’t accusing Trump of sexual misconduct. Instead, she and her legal squad are saying the Trump campaign had a pattern of paying women and men unequally, paying women staffers nearly 20 PERCENT less than male staffers.

“This case is about two things: Donald Trump’s predation, and his campaign’s discrimination against women and people of color,” said Hassan Zavareei, the lead attorney in the case.

Newman’s allegations come at a time when Trump is waging multiple legal battles, including a sexual assault allegation case from a former Apprentice contestant that is expected to move forward.

Smh.

Unfortunately, a typical day for the current Cheeto in charge.

Omari Hardwick Talks Backlash Over Beyoncé Kiss

Omari Hardwick has been keeping quiet about the backlash he faced after embracing and kissing Beyoncé at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, but this week he broke his silence and explained what was REALLY going on.

Speaking about fatherhood and raising his daughter Nova in an interview with Global Grind, the Power actor says that night he was just worried about his baby girl because she’d scratched her cornea. Omari says both Beyoncé and Jay-Z asked about Nova that night, which then led to an extended chat with Hov and the viral moment with Bey.

From Global Grind:

Criticized for how he interacted with Beyoncé at the award show, Omari had yet to discuss the moment publicly until explaining during our interview that, that night he was simply a worried father thanking his friends who’d expressed concern for his daughter throughout the night.

“She has ironically been injured in two very historical moments for me,” Omari told Global Grind when asked about Nova. “Her cornea was scratched the night of the Image Awards. The length of [my] talk with Jay was him asking me about her eye. The length of the hug with Bey was her asking about her eye. I give the speech and I bring up her eye,” he recalls.

Describing another moment when his daughter was hurt, Omari went on to tell us Nova’s head had been “busted by her little brother.” “Her eye is scratched by him the night of the Image Awards. A month to maybe a month and a half later, within the time of Nipsey’s death (who was a friend), now her head is busted,” he said, eyes wide with panic. “So, being a father of a daughter, makes it to where the MET experience for me might’ve been the most slow motion, beautifully embraced reality… walking through those long halls of that gallery… because I was thinking so much, on that long walk through those artifacts, about Nova. I kept thinking about Nova,” he revealed, referencing his appearance alongside Dapper Dan at the 2019 MET Gala earlier this week.

Omari also said Jay is like a big bro, so there’s no way he wouldn’t show Beyoncé love.

In an earlier sidebar, Omari explained that while the world knows him as Ghost, Jay-Z knows him as a little brother, saying “Jay-Z would’ve punched me in my face if I didn’t hug his wife. He would’ve said ‘n*gga, you don’t see Bey?’”

He tells the site that at no point in his life, even before having his daughter, did he think disrespecting women was cool…

“My honor and my respect for women – while you have idiot fanbases who go ‘Watch your wife around Omari’ – I got a wife (A), so f*ck you. I love you, but f*ck you (B). (C), I respect women so much prior to Nova being born that once Nova got to Earth… man, it doubled my respect for women. But I had it already ’cause I had a pop, who validated my existence as a man, so I didn’t think demeaning women was ever cool.”
