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.”

K. Michelle Talks Her Queen’s Court Dating Preferences

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.”

The new season of Queens Court is streaming now on Peacock and airing weekly Sunday nights on Bravo.

R. Kelly’s daughter, Buku Abi, is speaking out against her father for the first time.

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.

“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened,” she said in the doc, according to PEOPLE. “I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me.”

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.”

“I really feel like that one millisecond completely just changed my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the light I used to carry,” she says. “After I told my mom, I didn’t go over there anymore; my brother [Robert] and sister [Jaah], we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now I struggle with it a lot.”

Abi does go into more detail in about the alleged abuse in the second episode, revealing it happened when she was 8 or 9.

“I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she remembers while crying. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”

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.”

“They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long,” Abi said. “So at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing.”

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.

Lupita Nyong’o isn’t closing the door for love, but right now, it’s not in the cards.

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.

“My love for my cat is singular,” she told the mag. “If I’m ever so lucky to be in a romantic relationship again, it’ll be because of him. I was ready to shut that door and lock it and bolt it. He has ensured that my heart remains open.”

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.

“You go through a lot of like, ‘Why? What were the signs? Why didn’t I see them? And if I did, why didn’t I act on them?’ ” Nyong’o said, seemingly referring to the assumptions that her former partner cheated. “Also, replaying moments and thinking, ‘Oh, I felt this apprehension, and I ignored it. Why did I ignore it?’ It can get toxic to beat yourself up about a past you can’t change, but it’s also an opportunity to learn about yourself.”

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.

“It’s hard enough to go through heartbreak privately,” she admitted. “When the world has an image of you in relation to someone else, it prolongs the healing process because the memory is emblazoned in the public domain.”

 Piers Morgan was forced to issue an apology for remarks made by Jaguar Wright regarding Jay-Z and Beyoncé during an interview about the sex trafficking and racketeering allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The British broadcaster was also scolded by the Carters’ high-powered attorney who said he was given an “ultimatum” in the matter.

During Morgan’s Uncensored show published on YouTube on Oct. 2, Jaguar Wright alleged that she had disturbing details about Diddy’s infamous “Freak Off” parties, claiming to have witnessed “ritualistic abuse, drugging, and violent acts” at the notorious events. When Morgan inquired about the potential number of victims, Wright asserted there could be “thousands.” She also alleged that other high-profile figures, including Jay-Z and Beyoncé, have a history of sexual abuse. 

“For four years, I’ve been shouting that not just Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters,”

Wright claimed that the power couple may have had hundreds of victims.

“I’ve talked to hundreds that I deal with still myself,” she alleged.

On his Oct. 8 show, Morgan rejected Wright’s allegations, stating that he had received a call from Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s legal team, asserting that Wright’s comments were “totally false and have no basis in fact,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

He continued;

“The thing about platforms, the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”

Morgan added;

“Well, Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. We had lawyers contact us to say that those claims were totally false and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”

Jay Z And Beyoncé’s Attorney Scolded Piers Morgan

“There’s rumors, and then there’s nonsense. And this is one step further; this is a formal accusation of something,” Spiro told TMZ.

The attorney clarified that he did not issue a simple cease-and-desist, as some outlets reported, but rather delivered an ultimatum to Morgan; either retract the false claims or face legal consequences.

“It was quite bluntly an ultimatum, which is remove that false accusation that’s demonstrably false, or a court’s going to order you to,” the attorney explained. “He didn’t just harm the Carters, what he did effectively was drown out the voices of actual victims in an ongoing case, in an ongoing investigation.”

When asked by Harvey Levin about the broader silence from Hollywood in the wake of the Diddy allegations, the attorney responded;

“When [the Carters] put their foot down on something, as they did here, they are sending a message. If they can’t stand up and make sure right from wrong, then who can?” Their belief in the judicial process remained steadfast, with the attorney confident that “the truth will come out in courtrooms, and I’m sure the truth will come out here.”
