POLITICAL TIDBITS: Hillary Clinton Reportedly Offered Up Apology To Barack Obama After Presidential Defeat

Details about election night when Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump are surfacing. And we now know that Mrs. Clinton offered up an apology to former President Barack Obama after losing the election. Details inside….

Five months after a historic presidential election night, details surrounding Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton are coming to light.

In a new book chronicling her 2016 presidential bid called “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign” by political journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, it details how the former Secretary of State issued an apology to President Barack Obama after Donald Trump nabbed the election.

Before conceding to Trump, Hillary spoke with Mr. Obama where she apologized for letting him and the country down.

“Mr. President,” she said softly. “I’m sorry.”

The book noted, “She had let him down. She had let herself down. She had let her party down. And she had let her country down. Obama’s legacy and her dreams of the Presidency lay shattered at Donald Trump’s feet. This was on her. Reluctantly she rose from her seat and took the phone.”

Before she made that call to Trump, President O had to encourage her to make the call once it was clear that Trump had won the election. Earlier on election night, the White House had urged Hillary to concede after losing some battleground states, but she wasn’t quite ready.

Mr. Obama eventually called her up and directly told her, “You need to concede,” to avoid a messy recount. And that’s exactly what she did.

As for life after the election….

 

 

A post shared by TheYBF (@theybf_daily) on

 

The Obamas are still enjoying life after the White House and we’re happy about it. The former First Couple was spotted living it up on a well deserved yacht party with Oprah, her bestie Gayle King and a few other high profile celebs, including Bruce Springsteen and Tom Hanks.

The Obamas’ post-White House life has been nothing short of fabulous as the couple has soaked in numerous trips, including California, the Caribbean, and New York. Here fo rit all! Where will they end up next?

Rapper/reality star Rasheeda is gracing a double cover for DELUX magazine’s April 2017 issue. And she’s dishing about a new endeavor that will give fans a closer look at her relationship with her husband Kirk Frost.

 photo racover2.png

In the cover story, the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star chopped it up about adding author to her resume. She revealed she’s working on a book where she will share some intimate details about her relationship with her “cheater” husband. If you watch the show, you know Kirk is currently involved in a baby scandal where new cast mate Jasmine Washington is claiming to have gotten pregnant by Kirk and birthed a son. Rasheeda confronted Kirk about the alleged side-baby and by the end of their conversation, she took her wedding ring off.

The entrepreneur spilled to the magazine:

“The purpose behind my book will be to teach, and allow people to learn about situations in life and things that happen and you will be able to take a glimpse into my relationship and see it’s a lot more complex than what television has shown you. But for the most part you will leave with seeds to plant.”

“I want people to honestly to understand that life is full of struggles and sometimes you make mistakes and with those mistakes, it’s not a bad thing you can learn from those things and turn around and build into something great. Also, what I want people to understand is just being true to yourself and its nothing wrong with sh*t being wrong. Nobody is perfect, your life is your life. Your cards are dealt how they are dealt. How you fly above it is the main thing.”

True ish.

In shocking and breaking news this morning, former NFL player Aaron Hernandez committed suicide in prison in the wee hours of this morning.  Full story inside.

Just days after being acquitted for most charges in a double murder case, Aaron Hernandez committed suicide by hanging himself in his single prison cell.

Authorities at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley Massachusetts confirm Aaron used his bedsheets to kill himself at 3:05AM.  His individual cell was in general population.

Aaron was serving life in prison after his 2015 conviction of the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Interestingly, his lawyer Jose Baez recently claimed Aaron had a fighting chance of overturning that sentence.

The full statement from the prison authorities is below:

In the double murder case, the 27-year-old was charged with killing of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado - immigrants from Cape Verde.  This past Friday, a jury found him not guilty on most of the eight counts he faced, including murder and armed assault.

Aaron's death comes on the same day his former team the Patriots are making their visit to WH – today – to mark their Super Bowl win. 

Aaron, who played tight end, signed a $40 million contract with the Patriots in 2012.  He was cut from the team once arrested for Odin Lloyd's murder in 2013.

Sad situation all around.

Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen aren't reconciling afterall, despite their recent loved up pics together.  Details inside.

They're definitely divorcing, but it's amicable.

The NBA Hall of Famer and former "Real Housewives of Miami" star are moving forward with their divorce, this according to TMZ:

The good news ... the NBA legend and the former 'Real Housewives' star are on really good terms and have vowed to remain friends after the split.

---

In the end, the two sides decided it's just not working and the best move is to split. We're told both Scottie and Larsa have vowed to remain friends and co-parent their kids.

Scottie and Larsa, who initially made headlines with their divorce when Scottie filed papers back in October have recently been snapping pics out and about together and as a family.  They made an appearance at a cozy lunch event (above) back in February, and also took their 4 kids to Universal Studios last week for Spring Break:

Shortly after a ringless LaLa Anthony made her first public appearance since the split drama hit the net, her estranged husband Carmelo Anthony makes his first public appearance. Oh, and he’s ringless and all smiles. More inside….

As details continue to leak about the uncoupling of LaLa & Carmelo Anthony, The First Couple of the NY Knicks is all about the public appearances.

Yesterday, a ringless LaLa was spotted making her way to the Tribeca Film Festival Luncheon & Award Ceremony. She looked quite somber and not her usual bubbly self.

Later that day, her estranged husband made his first appearance since the scandal broke. And his emotions appeared to be the total opposite from his wife’s. The NY Knicks baller was all smiles as he trekked through the Big Apple:

 

 

As you can see, he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring either.

After news broke that La and Melo decided to separate, it was revealed he allegedly got a stripper pregnant, who’s reportedly about 6 months along. It was also reported that La moved out of their home and copped her own apartment in NYC.

Sad.

With technological advances, Melo could go ahead and do a paternity test to see if the kid is his. That may not matter though. We hear there’s no chance these two will reconcile.

Erie McDonald's Says Hot Fries & Nuggets Are What Got Facebook Killer Steve Stephens Caught + Joy Lane Appears With Victim's Family

It was McDonald’s workers who tipped off state troopers that Facebook killer Steve Stephens was in their area yesterday.  All because Stephens stopped to get nuggets and fries. Now, a rep for the franchise is speaking out about the incident.

After Steve Stephens was caught by Pennsylvania officials yesterday before he took his own life, reports have surfaced that we have McDonald's workers to thank for Stephens being found.

Before police embarked on a short pursuit of Stephens, he was initially found in an Erie, PA McDonald's parking lot....thanks to a tip from that McDonald's employees.

Franchise owner and operator Thomas DuCharme Jr. tells GoErie news that his employee(s) recognized Stephens when he pulled up in the drive through to order a 20 piece chicken nuggets and fries.  So they told him his fries weren't ready in order to hold him there while they contacted authorities.  Stephens eventually said he didn't have time to wait and drove off.

“I am pretty sure he figured out that we were on to him.  He didn’t want to wait for his fries.”

 

State police showed up in time to intercept him, and a short pursuit occurred before Stephens killed himself.  Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook pronounced Stephens dead at the scene at 11:35 a.m.

 

 photo article-mcdonalds19n3-0418_zpskgesjneo.jpeg 

Stephens walked up to the elderly Robert Godwin, Sr. (pictured above) a few days ago and shot him in cold blood, citing Stephens' girlfriend Joy Lane breaking up with him caused him to do it.

Joy joined Godwin's sisters in speaking to Fox 8 Cleveland yesterday saying:

“I feel bad; the last thing he would have said is my name and he didn’t know me or why he was saying,” Lane told the sisters.

 

We continue to keep all victims in our thoughts and prayers.

The engaged YBF Chick is currently on vacay, and showed off a bump in a yellow swimsuit.

Interestingly, she removed the photo almost immediately, and it doesn't appear on any of her other social networks.  Her fiance, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, hasn't posted it either.

It's possible she meant to send as a DM and accidentally hit My Story.  It happens to the best of us.

Serena and Alexis became engaged almost four months ago. 

Congrats to the couple, if true!

Kelly Rowland, her husband Tim Weatherspoon and son Titan are helping to kick off PEOPLE’s new Most Beautiful Family List. And they’re giving us the feels with their #BlackLove. Get into their family cutness inside…

It’s that time of year again where PEOPLE magazine unveils their list of the World’s Most Beautiful People. This year, they’ve added a new addition to the list, incorporating families into the fold and one of our YBF faves made the cut.

Singer/mom/wife/author (we could go on) Kelly Rowland and her family, including her husband Tim and son Titan, are the definition of beautiful. So, it was no surprise the trio made the #MostBeautifulFamily list. Baby Titan is insanely cute, his mother is breathtakingly gorgeous and Tim is a handsome man.

 photo kellyfamily2.jpg

When it comes to parenting, Kelly told PEOPLE she and her husband’s main goal is to raise a great man. Lately, Titan has been really interested in playing the piano, so she’s gearing up to start piano lessons for him. She said her parenting style isn’t strict, but firm. She said she wants her son to grow up in a world that is fair and even though the world is one way, she hopes he’s the person who wants to create change.

Peep the clip at the 11-minute mark here.

 

This year, Julia Roberts nabbed the No. 1 spot on the Most Beautiful People list. But, several YBF starlets were also on the list, including Viola Davis, Oprah, Janelle Monae, Taraji P. Henson and “This Is Us” star Susan Kelechi Watson. Susan penned a letter to her younger self where she pays tribute to all of the phenomenal women who made an impact on her life that have passed away, including her best friend whom she referred to as her twin.

SOMETHING IN THE MILK AIN'T CLEAN -- Alleged Friend Of Carmelo Anthony's Alleged Pregnant CHICAGO Mistress Speaks Out

 photo melo chicago alleged mistress_zpsadbvwhsb.jpeg

Chile, what is going on?!  After the rumor mill spun with unconfirmed reports last night of Carmelo Anthony's alleged pregnant mistress actually being a Chicago social worker, and not a New York stripper, an alleged ex-friend has come out the woodwork to speak on it....

The shenanigans have officially begun after the Carmelo & La La Anthony split news took over this week.

Originally, it was reported that an unnamed dancer who works in a New York strip club was pregnant with Melo's baby....and La La is understandably pissed about the situation.

Then, other media sources claimed that Melo's alleged pregnant mistress wasn't a NY stripper, but actually an "educated social worker" from Chicago who supposedly goes by the name of Mia Burkes.

Yeah, the foolery is off to an impeccable start.

 photo image1_zpsulhyiaur.jpeg

Today, a woman claiming to be the ex-friend (middle, camo jacket) of the alleged Chicago mistress spoke to "The Chicago Morning Takeover" on 107.5 WGCI in the Chi.  And she spilled all the alleged tea.

While we're side eyeing this entire situation, for a few reasons, you can judge for yourselves.


 

The ex-friend claims the alleged mistress also dated rapper Lil Durk and Ryan Henry from "Black Ink Chicago"!  She also says her friend was "that type of girl" to be giddy about dating ballers, even married ones.

Sigh.

 

 

Aaron Hernandez's Lawyer, Agent Don't Think He Committed Suicide

After this morning's shocking news of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez's apparent suicide, his lawyer and agent are simply not buying it. Deets inside...

Aaron's lawyer Jose Baez says not only was this apparent suicide out of character for his client, but he feels murder could be the actual cause of death.

Baez has launched an investigation into what really went down between those Massachusetts prison walls, as he's convinced Hernandez's death very well could have been murder orchestrated by authorities.

TMZ reports:

We've learned attorney Jose Baez -- who just got a not guilty verdict for Aaron last week in the double murder case -- has launched an investigation on behalf of Hernandez' family and they are not buying the suicide story.

We're told Baez believes this could be a murder either by inmates or the folks who run the prison.

Baez says the family is "devastated" and does not believe Aaron was in a frame of mind to take his life.

 

Earlier today, Jose said Aaron gave no indication that he was even considering taking his own life, especially since he was just acquitted of most charge in a double murder case on Friday.    Ina statement, Jose revealed:

 

“There were no conversations or correspondence from Aaron to his family or legal team that would have indicated anything like this was possible.  Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence.  Those who love and care about him are heartbroken and determined to find the truth surrounding his untimely death. We request that authorities conduct a transparent and thorough investigation.”

Jose also says they were optimistic about beating the life sentence for the murder conviction he's currently in prison for.

Aaron's former agent said:

 

NFL players are also chiming in. Antonio Cromartie tweeted:

Aaron Hernandez was 27.

The two-time NBA MVP graces the latest cover of GQ magazine sporting some dapper threads while getting his model on. We don’t get to see him all dressed up all the time, but when he does, he sure looks good. And his wife Ayesha Curry definitely thinks so.

She shared a few flicks from his GQ spread on her Instagram handle with the caption, “Thank you Lord! Hallelujah! He's too fine and all mine. Taking this moment to appreciate this blessing that is my husband. Wow! Congrats on the @gq cover @stephencurry30 MAN CRUSH EVERYDAY. yaaaaaaaaas okay I'm done swooning now”

They’re so cute.

Here are the flicks the WAG was going bananas over:

In the cover story, the Baby Face Assassin opened up about poppin’ off on Donald Trump and threatening to leave Under Armour after the CEO backed Trump:

“Even then, I was worried that I had messed up—that having a playful attitude had detracted from the serious point I felt I needed to make,” Curry says. “I'm not gonna pretend that I have some long history as an activist. But I'm definitely in the camp that when it comes to athletes, whoever has a microphone in front of their face, they ought to use it.

“You know,” he adds, “I did get a lot of feedback from other believers who were disappointed in the aggression of my statement. They thought it was un-Christian of me to call [Trump] a name. Now, I understand that Jesus probably wouldn't have used that term. But He was in that temple going crazy, flipping tables.… I think that sometimes, you have to remember who you are and what you stand for and not be ashamed of that.”

Wednesday night, Steph and the Warriors balled out in the second playoff game of round 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers.  Even without Kevin Durant.

As we come up on the end of the week, what better way to get kick off the YBF Weekend than some YBF Eye Candy.

Morris Chestnut graces the April 2017 issue of Muscle & Performance magazine alongside his trainer Obi Obadike. And we’re suddenly craving some chocolate covered chestnuts. LAWD! Morris is still FIONE.

The chocolate heartthrob, who has been married for over 20 years, stopped by the Wendy Williams show yesterday to chat about his collaboration weight loss book with his trainer Obi titled “The Cut.” He opened up about how he stays in shape, what it's like being an empty nester now that both of his kids are in college and more.

Peep the clip below:

And here's some more eye candy...
