Justin Timberlake Pisses Off His White Fanbase By Offering To Bail Out Protestors

As nationwide protests continue to spiral into uncontrolled riots in response to the death of George Floyd, Justin Timberlake’s political stance may have cost him fans and followers.

The multi-platinum singer announced on Saturday (May 30) he would be donating to a nonprofit organization designed to fight criminal injustice for the poor.

“Please join me in supporting the Minneapolis protestors by donating to the @mnfreedomfund,” Timberlake, 39, wrote. “The freedom fund is combatting the harms of incarceration by paying bail for low income individuals who cannot otherwise afford: https://minnesotafreedomfund.org.”

Timberlake, who has often been criticized for appropriating black culture (mainly stemming from his lack of support and visibility in defending Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show fiasco), in turn, saw a noticeable portion of white supporters upset with his latest announcement.

Proud men’s rights activist Mike Cernovich wrote, “You’re funding rioters.” Houston radio personality Ken Webster accused the pop star of blindly suffering from white privilege. San Francisco Republican Party Chairman John Dennis taunted him for entering Twitter’s raging political warfare while others, accused him of funding alleged radical movement Antifa.

According to the Minnesota Freedom Fund’s mission statement, its goal is to create “A society that does not condition pretrial freedom on class or identity, that has ended mass incarceration, and that invests in restorative and transformative justice.”

Timberlake joins Kehlani, Noname, Seth Rogen, Steve Carell, Lady Gaga, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Don Cheadle, Harry Styles, Patton Oswalt, John Cusack, Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Kaepernick, Cynthia Nixon, Janelle Monáe, Liam Wong, Kali Uchis, Ben Schwartz and Halsey who have contributed monetary support to various causes — which has infuriated plenty of people.

June 1, 2020 Faith Evans Reportedly Arrested For Alleged Attack On Stevie J

Faith Evans Reportedly Arrested For Alleged Attack On Stevie J

Faith Evans was reportedly arrested for domestic violence last week. According to TMZ, the police were called to the veteran singer’s Los Angeles home after she and her husband Stevie J got into a “heated” argument.

When officers arrived on the scene, they noticed visible marks and scratches on Stevie’s face. Consequently, Evans was taken into custody and booked for felony domestic violence. She reportedly bonded out on the same day.

Evans and Stevie tied the knot in July 2018 during a business trip to Las Vegas. Their relationship blossomed while they were working on music together.

“There was always a love there, but I never saw him in a romantic way in all of the years of our friendship,” Evans said shortly after they got married. “A couple of years ago I was single, we were working together and I felt a little something.”

In July 2019, the couple denied there was trouble in paradise despite rumors suggesting otherwise.

Fans noticed something might be up when they stopped following each other on Instagram. The former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta personality also fired off a string off tweets indicating they had hit a rough patch — from “Drunk people always speak their truth” and “Ones insecurities can damage them” to “All that glitters ain’t gold” and “Cherish what you love just know nothing will last forever.”

Evans nor Stevie have publicly commented on the latest incident.

March 23, 2020 Coronavirus: Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein tests positive in prison

Coronavirus: Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein tests positive in prison

Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for coronavirus, a US federal prison union official has said.

The former Hollywood producer has been placed in isolation at Wende Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison east of Buffalo, New York.

He was moved from New York City’s Rikers Island jail where he is serving a 23-year sentence.

The president of the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association, Michael Powers, said he learned that Weinstein’s test came back positive on Sunday morning.

Several prison staff have since been quarantined, Mr Powers added.

A lawyer for Weinstein, Imran Ansari, said his legal team had not been notified of the coronavirus diagnosis.

“Given Mr Weinstein’s state of health, we are of course concerned, if this is the case, and we are vigilantly monitoring the situation,” Mr Ansari said.

Weinstein, 68, was convicted of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping former aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013 following a landmark triall earlier this year.

Prosecutors said he had committed a “lifetime of abuse towards others”.

His conviction was hailed as a victory for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct by powerful men.

More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct stretching back decades.

He has denied the allegations, saying any sex was consensual.

Once one of Hollywood’s most influential figures, Weinstein won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare In Love and was responsible for other acclaimed films including Pulp Fiction, The English Patient and Gangs Of New York.
