  • Gabrielle Union Says Terry Crews Is Not an 'Ally' Following 'AGT' Row

    Instagram

    The ‘Being Mary Jane’ actress calls out the current ‘America’s Got Talent’ host for his lack of solidarity as she’s entangled in a feud with the producers of the show.
    Aug 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union has hit out at “America’s Got Talent” host Terry Crews for not supporting her during amid her firing from the NBC show.
    The former judge went public with allegations of harassment and discrimination she witnessed and experienced during her time as a judge on the show during season 14.
    Throughout the drama, critics of the actress questioned why she faced the alleged racism when she wasn’t the only black person on set, with the star telling Spotify’s “Jemele Hill Is Unbothered” podcast that Crews wasn’t an “ally” during the ordeal.
    “People hit me all day long and are like, what’s happening? And the only thing I know for sure is that Terry Crews gets three cheques from NBC,” she shared. “So, I don’t know if being worried about job stability – which listen, we all know that if you speak up about racism and White supremacy, you absolutely can be shown the door. I don’t know if that’s the motivation.”
    She continued, “Based on his recent actions, do you really think Terry Crews was an ally, was helpful, was a sounding board? I think Terry Crews is showing us who he is and what he does during times of adversity and it’s not solidarity.”
    Back in 2017, at the inception of the #MeToo movement against misconduct in Hollywood, Crews came forward with an allegation of assault, which Union says she supported him through.
    “Not to say if I offer you solidarity I expect you to be the getaway driver during a bank robbery – that’s what he made it sound like in one of those series of tweets,” she explained. “If you didn’t have my experience… ‘I believe Gab, I just had a different experience.’ ”
    Now, the star is focused on making the network a “more fair and equitable place” to work, will ultimately help people like Crews, she insisted.

  • Fans Think 'RHOBH' Cast Vindicate Lisa Vanderpump After Watching This Messy Season

    Bravo

    A few fans react to a Reddit post, where the the allegations start, with strong agreement as one says, ‘LVP is vindicated. The whole cast orchestrates behind the scenes and decides who to pick on.’
    Aug 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Season 10 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is focused on the drama between Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville as the latter claimed that they hooked up despite Denise being married to Aaron Phypers. That seemingly makes a fan on Reddit suspect that Lisa Vanderpump, who has been portrayed as the villain before her exit, is actually being vindicated by other cast members.
    Writing the Reddit post, the fan slammed Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna. “These women are pure evil and used LVP as their scapegoat when in reality Kyle and Rinna are to blame,” the fan said. “This season has 100% vindicated LVP.”
    “She wasn’t on the show to bring up malicious rumors about Denise’s family, yet this still happened. She wasn’t on to solicit Brandi to spread a life-altering storyline, yet this still happened. She also wasn’t on to target one woman (which has been herself for years) to viciously attack all through filming,” the fan continued. In the thread, the fan also thought that the other Housewives were “ganging up and berating” Denise.
    A few fans reacted to the post with strong agreement. “LVP is vindicated. The whole cast orchestrates behind the scenes and decides who to pick on. This is the reality of the show. It is getting old and tired,” one commented. Meanwhile, one other criticized the current season’s cast member, saying, “This current cast is not jiving together. There is no chemistry with these women (except for Denise and [Garcelle Beauvais]).”
    Amid the hookup rumors, Denise recently dropped a major bombshell in a preview of next week’s episode of the Bravo show. “I will tell you, Brandi said that she’s had sex with some of the people from this group,” she said. Shocked, Kyle Richards asks, “Someone at this table right now?” To that, Denise simply replies, “Yes.” The ladies look at Lisa Rinna in shock before the clip ends.
