On Tuesday night, Donald Trump was reelected president, and it didn’t even take a full 72 hours for a Trump employee to remind us that neither the president-elect nor his people are held to any standard of proffesional decorum and that Trump rode hatefulness and misogynoir all the way back to the White House.

Donald Trump Found Guilty In Civil Fraud Case, Fined Over $300 Million

On Thursday, Trump attorney Mike Davis made and appearance on The Benny Show, with conservative YouTuber Benny Johnson. During the episode, Davis leveled not-so-veiled threats at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who won a civil fraud case against Trump and top Trump organization executives in March.

“Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General, I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” Davis said. “Listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a** in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you.”

First off, I don’t know where Davis gets off calling James a “fat a**” as if his client isn’t likely over-pressuring the wheels on his favorite golfcart right now. We all know Trump thinks he’s a 215-pound 35-year-old in a 78-year-old body,  but, really, he’s a 78-year-old toddler who’s probably closer to 10 pounds for each one of his felonies — so, maybe Davis should STFU about a Black woman’s body.

But, more to the point, look where we are already.

A decade ago, people would have been outraged if, just after the election, an attorney for the president- elect used crude, profane, and childishly insulting language while addressing a state attorney general. James could never have gotten away with going on a televised program and calling Trump a “fat a**” whether Trump was set to become president or not. But Trump and his people are Trump and his people and James is a Black woman so the rules have changed but MAGA, amirite?

After he was done reminding us what the election had already reminded us of — that no matter how accomplished a Black woman is, white men in the MAGA world don’t feel compelled to show them even bare-minimum respect — Davis got on the socials and took shots at Special Council Jack Smith.

From Newsweek:

“Think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s constitutional rights,” Davis said. “It’s not going to happen again.”

Davis, who has been said to be a potential attorney general in Trump’s upcoming administration, seems stuck on revenge against Democrats after Trump’s win Tuesday night. He wrote to X, formerly known as Twitter, that he wants to “drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them and throw them off the wall. (Legally, politically and financially, of course.)”

Yeah — this ain’t normal, and it’s going to be another long four years.

YFN Lucci - Joy To The Polls Georgia Pop Up Concerts

After the jury in the YSL trial was shown a stabbing involving YFL Lucci and an alleged YSL member, the footage has surfaced.

Just last week, Young Thug was released \but under extensive conditions including one barring him from Atlanta for over a decade without prior approval.

Similarly, the rapper’s rival YFN Lucci reached a plea deal that reportedly set his release for January 2025. With the extensive history of beef between the rappers and their crews it’s understandable why certain restrictions are in place.

The beef prompted officials to house Young Thug and YFN Lucci in separate jails in the Atlanta area. Young Thug served time in Cobb County jail while 650 LUC served his time in Fulton County.

As previously reported, YFN Lucci was the victim of a violent inmate stabbing back in 2022 that played a part in the YSL indictment in May of that year. Prosecutors alleged that three YSL members tried to shank the rival rapper at the Fulton County jail.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jayden Myrick known as YSL Tripp was one of the three inmates accused of attacking YFN Lucci. In newly released footage, he’s believed to be the man struggling with YFN Lucci as they fall down the stairs before a Sheriff’s deputy separates them.

The footage also shows bodycam footage of a deputy urging Myrick to “put it [seemingly the weapon] down.”

“That n***a stuck me,” says YFN Lucci in the footage.

Myrick is also seen being tased.

The inmate was previously forced to undergo mental evaluations after alleging Donald Trump gave him legal advice for the YSL indictment.

An article was recently published in the Atlantic that accused Donald Trump of being cheap, racist, and disrespectful to a slain military officer and her family — all allegations that are easy AF to believe due to Trump’s easily verifiable track record of being a money-grubbing racist who is consistently disrespectful to military personnel and their family members. (More on that in a sec.)

In the article, the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, alleged that Trump welched on his promise to pay the funeral costs of Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private who was bludgeoned to death by another solider in 2020 at Ford Hood in Texas, once he found out what the cost of her funeral would be.

“‘It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ Mexican!’” Trump said, according to Goldberg. “He later turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: ‘Don’t pay it!’”

But Guillén’s sister, Mayra Guillén, denied that Trump said what the article claimed, and she expressed disappointment in the publication for what she alleged was a media ploy to score political points off of her sister’s death.

“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra posted on X Tuesday. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

The article claimed that Guillén’s family attorney, Natalie Khawam, told the Atlantic that she sent the bill for the funeral to the White House but no money was ever received. Khawam claims Goldberg misrepresented what she actually said.

“Not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story,” Khawam tweeted. “More importantly, he used and exploited my clients, and Vanessa Guillen’s murder… for cheap political gain.”

Of course, Khawam wasn’t at all specific about how Goldberg misquoted her; she just called him a liar and got the MAGA conspiracy theorists all revved up by noting “the timing of this ‘story,’” which she called “quite suspicious.”

The Atlantic eventually published a statement sent by Trump campaign adviser Alex Pfeiffer, who wrote that the allegations were “absolutely false.”

“President Donald Trump has spent his life caring for America’s military heroes…,” Pfeiffer wrote. “There has been no greater advocate for our brave military men and women than Donald J. Trump.”

And there it is.

See, they almost had me. For a second, I almost thought to myself: “Well, sh*t. Maybe it actually was “fake news” this one time. Maybe Goldberg conjured up a fake racist Trump quote that sounded nearly identical to a myriad of actual racist Trump quotes. Maybe the pathological-liar-in-chief just got served a pinch of his own medicine, and, if so, that was wrong.

But then Trump’s campaign reminded me that there’s no reason to take the denial of MAGA minions at face value — because, seriously, Trump “has spent his life caring for America’s military heroes” and “there has been no greater advocate” that he?

Pfeiffer couldn’t be talking about the same Donald Trump who, just in August, bragged that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a “better” award than the Medal of Honor because that medal is only received by “soldiers” who are either “dead” or in “bad shape” because they’ve been shot so many times. This couldn’t be the same Trump who, at the beginning of this month, described the traumatic brain injuries that 109 U.S. service members were diagnosed with as “a headache.” Perhaps Trump’s campaign has forgotten the time when an allegation was co-signed by at least one of his own former senior administration officials that he called U.S. military soldiers killed in combat “suckers” and “losers.” Maybe it slipped his handlers’ minds that he allegedly disrespected the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson by telling her the Black veteran who died in combat in 2017 knew “what he signed up for.” (Trump has also been accused of mocking Johnson’s death.)

But even if Trump’s people had forgotten all of that, I know damn well they remember when the accused-draft-dodger-in-chief said this about late combat veteran John McCain:

“He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Again, whether Trump actually said what the Atlantic reported he said about Vanessa Guillén, his record easily indicates why it’s not an implausible story. 

Whatever, I believe it.

Bron, Savannah, Bronny - The 2023 ESPY Awards - Show

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.”

“I think at the end of the day, it was just about us supporting each other and just being super grateful for the outcome,” a tearful Savannah said.”Shout out to the man above,” LeBron said.”And to the whole coaching staff, training staff, members of that program,” LeBron continued, calling USC staffer Erin a “lifesaver, literally.”

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.

“It’s crazy with kids, when they love something and they want something, that’s all that matters to them,” LeBron explained in the show. “As a parent, you’re like, ‘You had a cardiac arrest, like…,’ and in his mind he’s like, ‘Can I or can I not play ball again and if the answer is yes, when can I play ball again? Like, I love that.’” The leading NBA scorer continued. “Bronny’s the first person in the family to go to college. Nobody in my family ever went to college and to see my son playing the game he loves at the collegiate level but to see where he is as a young man is, like, ‘Wow, it could have been so much more worse for our family.’”

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.

Last week, CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil got himself dragged up and down the internet after going toe-to-toe with acclaimed author, educator, journalist, and activist Ta-Nehisi Coates during a panel discussion about Coates’ book The Message, which draws parallels between Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians and the Jim Crow South in America.

Apparently, Dokoupil took issue with Coates’ book because he highlighted the history of colonization and anti-Palestinian oppression instead of highlighting Israel’s “right to exist,” which is, by far, the most popular pro-Israel talking point, and has already been repeated ad nauseam by mainstream media outlets and politicians across the Western world, which is why Coates didn’t feel the need to include it in his book.

Now, Dokoupil’s aggressive line of questioning is being admonished by CBS News executives, who said the interview did not meet the editorial standards of the network. (We’ll circle back to that part in a sec.)

“I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards and the acclaim, took the cover off the book, the publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,” Dokoupil said to Coates. “So then I found myself wondering, why does Ta-Nehisi Coates – who I’ve known for a long time, read his work for a long time, very talented, smart guy – leave out so much? Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it? Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it? Why not detail anything of the First and the Second Intifada, the cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids blown to bits? And is it because you just don’t believe that Israel in any condition has a right to exist?”

So, Dokoupil essentially opened the interview by telling Coates that if he wasn’t as popular, accomplished, and acclaimed as he is, nobody would like his little Jihad book, then he proceeded to chide him for not painting Israel as the victim in the conflict and Palestine and other surrounding Muslim countries as the terrorist-filled aggressors.

Coates responded to the loaded question more politely than many of us would have.

“Well I would say the perspective that you just outlined, there is no shortage of that perspective in American media,” Coates responded. “That’s the first thing I would say. I am most concerned always with those who don’t have a voice, with those who don’t have the ability to talk.

“I have asked repeatedly in my interviews whether there is a single network, mainstream organization in America with a Palestinian-American bureau chief or correspondent who actually has a voice to articulate their part of the world. I’ve been a reporter for 20 years,” he continued. “The reporters of those who believe most sympathetically about Israel and it’s right to exist don’t have a problem getting their voice out. But what I saw in Palestine, what I saw in the West Bank, what I saw in Haifa in Israel, what I saw in the South Hebron Hills, those were the stories that I have not heard and those were the stories that I was most occupied with.”

Coates’ perfectly reasonable answer didn’t appear to satisfy Dokoupil, who essentially repeated over and over again that Israel had a “right to exist” as if it were his one and only prepared talking point while Coates continued to try to educate him on how apartheid and power dynamics actually work.

It was an exhausting display of Black intellectualism vs. dedicated caucasity. The interview garnered a lot of negative publicity across social media, prompting CBS News executives Wendy McMahon and Adrienne Roark to address the issue during a daily editorial meeting with staffers on Monday.

“We will still ask tough questions. We will still hold people accountable. But we will do so objectively, which means checking our biases and opinions at the door,” Roark told staff members, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

It’s worth noting that while McMahon and Roark agreed that editorial standards were not met during the contentious interview, CBS chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford, did not agree.

“It sounds like we are calling out one of our anchors in a somewhat public setting on this call for failing to meet editorial standards for, I’m not even sure what,” Crawford reportedly protested. “I thought our commitment was to truth. And when someone comes on our air with a one-sided account of a very complex situation, as Coates himself acknowledges that he has, it’s my understanding that as journalists we are obligated to challenge that worldview so that our viewers can have that access to the truth or a fuller account, a more balanced account. And, to me, that is what Tony did.”

I suppose that’s arguable.

It’s also arguable that all Dokoupil did was reword the same question about Israel’s “right to exist repeatedly while ignoring all of the substance in Coates’ responses. After Coates pointed out that most media outlets already report on the conflict from a pro-Israel perspective, Dokoupil dismissively insisted,

“But if you were to read this book, you would be left wondering, ‘Why does any of Israel exist? What a horrific place committing horrific acts on a daily basis.’ So I think the question is central and key. If Israel has a right to exist, and if your answer is no, then I guess the question becomes why do the Palestinians have a right to exist? Why do 20 different Muslim countries have a right to exist?”

Although Coates never actually said the nation didn’t have a right to exist, Dokoupil just kept remixing his assertion that Coates did say it.

“For as sure as my ancestors were born into a country where none of them was the equal of any white man, Israel was revealing itself to be a country where no Palestinian is ever the equal of any Jewish person anywhere,” Coates wrote in his book, according to CNN.

The only time Dokoupil really acknowledged that Coates’ book focused on apartheid-style anti-Palestinian discrimination was when Coates recalled that his Palestinian guide in Israel was not able to “ride on certain roads,” or “get water in the same way that Israeli citizens” were able to.

“Why is that? Why is there no agency in this book for the Palestinians?” Dokoupil asked in response. “They exist in your narrative merely as victims of the Israelis, as though they were not offered peace at any juncture, as though they don’t have a stake in this as well.”

A lot of people took that as Dokoupil blaming Palestinian citizens for their own state-sanctioned discrimination.

I’ll just leave you with Coates’ response.

“Either apartheid is right or it’s wrong. It’s really, really simple. Either what I saw was right or it’s wrong,” he said. “I am against a state that discriminates against people on the base of ethnicity. I’m against that. There is nothing the Palestinians could do that would make that okay for me.”

And there it is.

Love Is Blind debuted the first six episodes of Season 7 Wednesday, October 2 and we’re already head over heels for several couples — especially this one in particular.

Love Is Blind Season 7 stars Ashley Adionser and Tyler Frances

If you haven’t watched yet you may want to steer clear of this story if you’re worried about spoilers! BOSSIP Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden chatted it up with Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis ahead of the season premiere to get the details on their sweet Black love story.

The first four episodes of Love Is Blind shares the cast’s interactions as they move from the pods, in hopes of finding a connection on the other side without having any idea of what the other person looks like. For some couples it took some time for the connection to happen, but Francis says he had the good fortune of hitting the jackpot on his very first date in the pods.

“For me it was day one,” Tyler told BOSSIP about when he first had an inkling he’d found his match. “Ashley was my first date and it was just something that came through the wall, a feeling of safety that I’ve never felt before. I wasn’t sure if you asked me day one would I propose to Ashley, I’d have been like, ‘I’m still in the, you know, I don’t know, I don’t know her,’ but that was the person that was always on my mind from day one of the pods.”

It turns out the feeling was mutual! Ashley Adionser told BOSSIP that Francis left a strong impression from their very first encounter.

“Tyler was number one on my little checklist from Day 1 just because he came in super authentic and vulnerable,” Ashley told BOSSIP. “I think when I really knew is when I started missing him to the point it hurt and I’m in the pods or in the lounge and I’m like, ‘Bro I got five more dates — I don’t care about any of these people.’ Great people, great conversation, but I wanted to get in there with him.”

The couple ultimately sought out a solution to help them during their moments apart.

“We switched each other’s blankets and sprayed our scents on them just so we could have a piece of each other,” Adionser told BOSSIP. “I was like balling it up so that the girls couldn’t see the name on it, because I started getting a little minor jealousy, even though I knew it was part of the process. I’m like knowing certain people are going in there with him and I’m sending you know my potential man off to someone else. So I think it was around the time where I started to deeply feel that, I was like, ‘Wow I could marry this guy.’”

While Francis told BOSSIP he tried to avoid any jealous moments, there is a scene in the pods where Tyler tells Ashley he got upset when one of the other guys touched “his wife’s blanket.” Ultimately he says he remained optimistic that what was for him was truly for him.

“I was very open in the pods expressing who I was dating,” Tyler said. “I was also open to listen and to people who were dating the same people as me I didn’t take it as a jab, I took it as, ‘we don’t control these women.’ If you are their match they’ll pick you. So I was just very open and fluid and I really talked about everything.”

In the pods Ashley likened dating in your thirties to “tucking through the clearance rack, trying to find a hidden gem,” and spoiler alert — she ends up exiting the pods with an actual ring on her finger. Still, anyone who has watched previous seasons of Love Is Blind knows the road to the altar can be very rocky — and even rockier once cameras stop following them, so we’ll just keep our fingers crossed that this love is one meant to last while we await the arrival of Episodes 7-9 on October 9.

In the meantime, Francis shared his advice for any potential future Love is Blind singles.

“I would say for anyone going into it, go into it with an open mind,” Tyler told BOSSIP. “Be prepared to find love because people are looking for love. I know some people go in there and maybe they’re looking for other things but just know that everyone’s trying to be genuine and be themselves and it’s for love.”

Love Is Blind Season 7 Episodes 1-6 are currently streaming on Netflix.

Someone, please tell Diddy’s team to “take that” desperation on somewhere.

Diddy’s attorney is egregiously grasping at straws to defend his client even alleging that the mogul was hit with a cellphone by Cassie during their “mutually toxic” relationship before Diddy violently attacked her as seen in an unearthed 2016 video.

On Tuesday, the disgraced indictee’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, defended him in court amid Diddy facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. While arguing for Diddy’s bail, which was denied, his attorney alleged that the mogul is in “treatment and therapy” for undisclosed issues.

Journalist Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press who was in the courtroom shared via X, formerly known as Twitter, that Agnifilo told the judge:

“This case, we think, is eminently manageable. Pre-Trial Services says he has a criminal record. But he was acquitted. He is ready to do that again. What is Mr. Combs doing in NY? He’s here for treatment and therapy.”

According to Russell, Agnifilo went on to speak about the shocking hotel video that was released showing Diddy kicking, hitting, and dragging Cassie down a hotel hallway in 2016.

According to the attorney, that was not the full story and Diddy was struck by a cellphone by Cassie, who was cheating with her now-husband, personal trainer Alex Fine, (honestly, good for her). He added that Diddy was seen in the towel in the video because Casise allegedly “took his clothes,” as though that’s an excuse for what transpired.

“Somehow this hotel footage found its way out. I wonder how that happened,” Journalist Matthew Russell says Agnifilo said.” We didn’t have it. The government had it. It got out, on a day Donald Trump didn’t have any court proceedings. Mr. Combs saw it and issued an apology. He wanted to do it.”

He continued,

“Two people were in a hotel room. An issue that Mr. Combs had more than one girlfriend, okay? Victim-1 was looking through his phone and saw that – then hit him in the head with a cellphone, and took his clothing. So he comes out in a towel.”

“These two people were in love. Victim-1 ended up marrying the trainer that Mr. Combs got for her. They had been cheating on each other for years. But now she had two kids with the trainer. Years later, she realized she had a good thing with Mr. Combs.”

A good thing?! We must have watched a different video than what attorney Agnifilo saw.

Diddy is maintaining his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

During the chat, Thomas shared that his love for style was inspired by his mother, two grandmothers, and two great-grandmothers who taught him to always “look the part.”

“It was very important to me and I just wanted to make sure I could be the best version of myself for them and for my family.”

He went on to add that he’s a proud “lifestyle connoisseur” who connects people, something that will be shown in the series.

“When I developed Hideoki, it was more about bringing the right people together so that we could accomplish things together and create opportunities.”

As for Williams, he noted that he’s proud to bring Black male representation to the interior design business via Style Kings on aspireTV.

“I didn’t see myself on TV or in books growing up,” he said. “Rightfully so because there are less than 3% of Black people in general that are interior designers. Growing up I didn’t have that visual of what that could look like. That is also very important to me when it comes to television, I’ve done television a few times and it’s very important that I see myself there so they can see themselves here.”

Kerry Washington, who hosted the final night of the Democratic National Convention, brought the purely precious girls onstage for a lighthearted moment sprinkled with truth.

“Confusion is understandable,” said Washington before bringing out Amara and Leela Ajagu, the daughters of Kamala’s niece Maya Harris, and the granddaughters of Kamala Harris’ sister, Maya Harris. “Disrespect is not. So tonight, we are going to help everyone get it right.”

“First you say ‘Kama,’ like a comma in a sentence,” said Amara, the adorable 8-year-old. “Then you say ‘La,’ like ‘la-la-la-la-la,’” added equally adorable 6-year-old Leela.

The trio celebrated Kamala as an “extraordinary woman” who is ready to guide the nation.

“I grew up in Oakland California in a house full of extraordinary women,” said Meena. “My mom, my grandma and my auntie who showed me the meaning of service, helping her sister; a 17-year-old single mom, fighting for justice for the American people and still cooking Sunday family dinner.”

She continued,

“She guided me, now she’s guiding my own children and I know she’ll guide our country forward.”

Then it was Ella Emhoff’s turn and she noted that Kamala came into her life when she was 14; “a famously very easy time for a teenager.”

“Like a lot of young people, I didn’t always understand what I was feeling, but no matter what, Kamala was there for me. She was patient, caring and always took me seriously. She’s never stopped listening to me and she’s not going to stop listening to all of us.”

As for Helena, she praised her godmother for always giving her sound advice.

“Kamala Harris is my Godmother,” said Helena. “To me, her advice means everything, whether it’s pursuing my passions, making an impact or finding hope when the world doesn’t feel so hopeful, she taught me that making a difference means giving your whole heart and taking action.”
