Kimora Lee Simmons Has This To Say About Jordyn Woods + Chrissy Teigen 'Thrilled' Over R. Kelly's Arrest + JLo Sneaks Out LA Restaurant After Dining With A-Rod

Model moms Kimora Lee Simmons and Chrissy Teigen were spotted in Beverly Hills and the ladies offered up their thoughts on two hot topics. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez tried to duck the paparazzi after having dinner with her man, Alex Rodriguez, but the paps caught her. Find out what they had to say and peep their candids inside...

 

Since model-turned-fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons is close with the Kardashian Klan, photogs didn't waste any time asking her what she thought about the Tristan Thompson/Jordyn Woods scandal when they spotted her out in these streets. Oddly enough, they never asked her about Tristan's cheating a**, just Jordyn.

The mom-of-four stepped out for lunch at Il Pastaio restaurant in Beverly Hills in a casual 'fit, rocking a red shirt, black jeans, black knee boots paired with her Birkin bag. The paps warmed her up with questions about her "modeling for McDonalds" back in the day before they went in for the kill.

"Are you against Jordyn Woods continuing having a career?," a photog asked her. They wanted to know if she thought Jordy would get any work with other fashion companies after being "kicked out by the Kardashians."

"Has she worked for major fashion companies?," she asked. "She's young, I don't know. They're my friends. It's pretty shocking. I don't know about her career. I didn't know she was working like that, so I really can't address that."

That could have been shade or she really may not have known. *Kanye shrug*

As she hopped inside her Rolls Royce, they also asked her about that parking lot scuffle she got into with a woman last month. If you haven't heard, she got into an altercation with a woman over a parking space that allegedly got physical.

"Don't scuffle with me in the parking lot!," she said.

Oop.

Another model mom making moves...

Il Pastaio must have some good eats because Chrissy Teigen was also spotted leaving the restaurant yesterday. It's unclear if she ate with fellow model mom Kimora or not.

The "Lip Sync Battle" commentator rocked all black everything for her lunch date, sans the kiddies.

As you know, Chrissy's husband, John Legend,  starred in LIFETIME's "Surviving R. Kelly," and has been very vocal about NOT protecting someone he feels is a sexual predator.

Photogs asked Chrissy how she felt about R. Kelly's recent arrest after he was indicted on 10 aggravated sexual abuse charges and she only had one word to say about it.

"Thrilled," she responded.

The 33-year-old was also asked if she won "Celebrity Family Feud," but she didn't spill any tea about that.

Another mom making rounds in LA...

Now that all of the Oscar festivities have died down, Jennifer Lopez stepped out for a romantic dinner with her beau of two-years, Alex Rodriguez. She tried to sneak out the back of celeb hotspot, Craig's, but the paps caught her anyway.

By the way, it was A-Rod's first Oscars experience and he previously said he was nervous.

Naturally, with JLo and A-Rod recently celebrating their two-year anniversary, fans are wondering when they'll get married. A few months ago, the "World Of Dance" judge, who has been divorced three times, mentioned she didn't want to rush it.

A source close to the couple dished a few deets about what could be in the future for the couple. They have reportedly purchased a home in Malibu together and have told friends that "being together as a family is a top priority for them in 2019."

JLo's 50th birthday is coming down the pipeline (in five months - July 24th) and that might be the opportunity A-Rod is waiting on to pop the big question.

"Alex has mentioned wanting to propose to Jennifer in a big, grand way, but hasn't given any indication as to when he may pop the question," the source told E! "Alex has already told people close to him that he wants to have a big celebration for her, which provides [him] the perfect opportunity to propose in front of all of their friends and family."

Now Folks Are Saying Jordyn Woods Allegedly Hooked Up With Khloe's Ex-James Harden

The Kardashian machine is working overtime. Now, word on the curb is that Jordyn Woods "hooked up" with Khloe Kardashian's ex-baller boo James Harden. Catch up on the conflicting stories inside...

Listen, folks in the Kardashian camp are working overtime to drag Jordyn Woods' name all through the mud.

Now, "sources" are claiming Jordyn hooked up with Khloe Kardashian's ex-boyfriend James Harden, whom she dated for 8-months. The details about when this alleged situationship went down are unclear being that there are conflicting timelines about the 21-year-old supposedly getting cozy with the Houston Rockets baller. It's also unclear when Khloe supposedly found out about it.

The Blast claims sources told them that Jordyn - who modeled for Khloe's Good American brand - told some of her friends she hooked up with James Harden RIGHT after her make out session with Tristan. These sources claim she told her friends she talked to Khloe about "hooking up" with Harden and that Khloe gave Jordyn her "blessing."

But apparently, she never spoke to Khloe about Harden and Khloe supposedly found out about Harden after news broke about cheater Tristan.

Below are the deets:

The incident with Harden allegedly went down Monday, February 18 in Los Angeles, after James returned home from the NBA All-Star game in Charlotte, NC.

We’re told Woods confided in friends she met up with Harden, and also claimed at the time that she ran the situation by Khloé, who dated Harden for 8-months, and was given the reality star’s “blessing.” We’re told Woods then said she didn’t return home until the next morning.

The Blast reached out to Harden for comment about the situation, as it’s unclear what exactly went down in private between the two.

Unfortunately, Khloé did NOT know about the meeting between Woods and her ex-boyfriend, and only found out through friends after the news broke about Thompson’s alleged infidelity with Woods.

You'll recall, Jordyn and Tristan made out during a house party on Sunday, February 17th, days after Valentine's Day. And these sources claims she "hooked up" with Harden one day later.

Other "sources" spilled tea to US Weekly, and they claim Khloe DID know about her sister's former bestie and her ex.

“Jordyn did hook up with James Harden after Khloé dated him first,” the source told the site, noting the "KUWTK" star was “not with him at the time.”

“Khloé knew that that happened before this Tristan Thompson fiasco," the source continued. That’s not news to her. It wasn’t an issue at the time, but it does show now that Jordyn has a history of omitting facts and crossing lines.”

Another "source" claims Jordyn “denied” hooking up with Harden after Khloe “confronted” her about it at the time.

No word from James Harden...yet.

If you haven't heard, Jordyn recently sat down with family friend Jada Pinkett Smith to likely share her side of the story on a new episode of "Red Table Talk." Her episode will premiere on Facebook Watch THIS Friday:

Stay tuned...

BET tried to come for Dawn Richard with some Ariana Grande shade. Chick had time, so she checked them on it. More inside...

BET may want to enforce new rules for their employees and interns who run their social media because they're under fire again.

In a now deleted tweet, BET accused Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard of "copying" Ariana Grande's "new" bubble ponytail.

"Not only is Ariana Grande the most followed person on Instagram now, but her latest ponytail is popping up on the heads of celebs like Dawn Richard! How do you feel about the look?," BET tweeted.

The Blackheart singer caught wind of the tweet and put the network on full blast. She called them out for never supporting her solo career and bashed them for pitting women against one another over a ponytail. Keep her name out of the drama! 

 

 

 

The gag? Dawn had her hair like this WEEKS ago and posted flicks to her Instagram, while Ariana posted her "new" 'do just days ago.

A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on

 

Two weeks ago, Nicki Minaj announced that she and the rest of Young Money were pulling out of their performances for this year's BET Awards and BET Experience (where she was set to headline) after they shaded her while congratulating Cardi B's Grammy win for Best Rap Album

“Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront,” BET tweeted attached to a BET article about Cardi's win. They deleted the tweet and then offered up an apology that read:

“BET loves Nicki Minaj. We have supported her from the very beginning of her career and will continue to do so moving forward. Nicki has paved the way for so many performers and has solidified her place as one of the most powerful figures in the music industry. Unfortunately, the respect we have for Nicki was violated by this post that should never have been written. The post does not reflect how we feel about Nicki. And further does not reflect our company values. We deeply apologize for the hurt, disappointment and confusion that this post has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to address the situation. We are also conducting an internal audit to assure these types of posts are not published again. We have apologized to Nicki and her team. The post has been removed and we have taken additional appropriate action. We understand Nicki’s position and look forward to continuing our dialogue with her. Finally, we apologize to all of her fans. This should have never happened.”

Too late though. Young Money isn't coming. What's really good, BET?!

Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry made several stops during their trip to Morocco and we've rounded up all of the Duchess of Sessex's maternity looks. Check them out inside...

It won't be long before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry become first times parents. The happy couple is expected to welcome their bundle of joy in late April/early May. By the way, they decided to keep the baby's sex under wraps as they want it to be a "surprise" when he/she gets here.

But before she settles down to give birth, the Duke and Duchess had several royal engagements to attend in Morocco this week. She was super busy, changing clothes for every event they attended.

After spending time with her American friends for her luxe baby shower, the former "Suits" star and the British Royal jetted to Morocco. And Meghan cut a few stylish lewks as she bumped along during the excursion.

For their engagement on Monday, Meghan and Harry paid a visit to the Andalusian Gardens local market to see traditional Moroccan arts and crafts on display in the walled public garden.

The 37-year-old bumped along in a black strapless pleated Loyd/Ford dress topped with a cream Babaton Keith blazer by Aritzia, and Manolo Blahnik Carolyn polka dot pumps.

 

 

FUN FACT: She first wore this blazer while watching her then husband-to-be play polo in 2017.

The Duke and Duchess made their way to meet with the King of Morocco to present letters from Queen Elizabeth to The King. She looked amazing in a blue printed floor-length Carolina Herrera dress, a Dior clutch and Gianvito Rossi shoes.

 

 

 

For a more casual look...

The Duke and Duchess hit up the Moroccan Royal Federation of Equestrian Sports where they learned about a new initiative for special needs children. She wore an army green J. Crew jacket over a striped sweater, black Rag & Bone jeans paired with booties.

 

 

 

 

 

The Duke and Duchess was on hand to watch a cooking demonstration, where children from under-privileged backgrounds learn traditional Moroccan recipes from one of Morocco's elite chefs at the Villa des Ambassadors:

 

 

 

 

Yum.

Now, for the glam...

The mom-to-be got dressed in her Sunday's best to attend a formal reception hosted by the British Ambassador to Morocco. She dazzled in a Dior caftan as she tip-toed inside wearing heels.

Gorge.

 

 

 

As they continued their rounds...

During an event with the Education for All organization, the Duchess wore a navy blue Alice and Olivia blazer over a white Aritzia blouse and Manolo Blahnik sandals. A Henna ceremony was performed on the Duchess in Ansi, which is a Moroccan tradition for pregnant women. Check it:

 

 

 

 

And this is how she made her grand appearance after she hopped off the plane at Casablanca Airport. The mom-to-be commanded everyone's attention in a red Maison Valentino dress. Gorge.

After shutting down the Oscars afterparty scene together, Ciara and Russell Wilson hopped on a plane to jet out to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for some fun and photoshoots. The couple touched down ahead of the Rio Carnival 2019. It's considered the last celebration before Lent, so you know everyone will be hitting the streets to dance it up.

On the balcony of their room at the Hotel Emiliano, the "Greatest Love" singer slipped on something sexy for her man and posed it up for an impromptu shoot. And she served on an angles.

 

Werk it, CiCi.

In a video posted on Twitter, Russ and CiCi said they couldn't wait to explore everything Rio has to offer like the culture, fútbol/soccer, the food, and more. Peep the clip below:

 

 

 

Before heading out to an event:

 

 

Mrs. Wilson hit the balcony again for a bootylicious shot in a neon green two piece and her hubby loved it. He posted up a heart emoji and a fire emoji with the caption "date night" under the flick.

Like Russell said, it was date night after the event and he made sure to get in a workout before heading out:

 

Next, they were headed to an NFL event at a sporting goods store to mix and mingle with fans:

It was total pandemonium as fans were super excited to see the Super Bowl winning quarterback and award winning singer/dancer.

Watch how fans lose when the Wilsons arrive to sign autographs and snap pics below: 

 

 

Fun times. 

 

The next day...

The "Level Up" singer hit the streets for another photoshoot, likely snapping flicks to add to her personal stash, while sightseeing in Rio. 

 

And she even dropped a few lines in Portuguese:

 

 

Looks like the Wilsons are going to be living it up for the next few days. We can't wait to see CiCi's carnival outfit.

Remy Ma and Papoose finally reveals The Golden Child and she's ADORABLE. Guard your ovaries and see baby Mackie, plus find out her real name inside...

We can't even!

Remy Ma and Papoose were blessed with their "golden child" two-months ago and they've kept her under wraps until now.

Today, the married couple appeared on "The Real" to unveil their little bundle of joy. And she is an absolute DOLL! Like, cuteness overload.

The couple nicknamed their daughter the Golden Child because they endured a lot before her arrival. In 2017, suffered a devastating miscarriage and was told she could no longer get pregnant naturally. They found out the pregnancy had to be terminated due to it being an ectopic pregnancy and then Remy had to undergo emergency surgery to have her fallopian tube removed.

The couple then decided to try IVF treatments and it worked! Baby Mackie was born December 14, 2018, joining Remy's teenage son and three of Pap's teenage kids from previous relationships. 

Even after the birth of their baby, Remy suffered another scare. Days after welcoming the Golden Child, she was readmitted to the hospital because her blood pressure got really high and she was still dilating.

Listen to her explain the situation below:

Thankfully, she made it out OK.

During their family interview on "The Real," Rem and Pap shared the name of their baby girl.

They named her after the NYC raptress: Reminisce MacKenzie Mackie. Aww!

"I just feel like the world needs another Remy in the world," Rem gushed.

So, would they do it again? Yes! Pap said the pregnancy scared him, but he would be down to do it again and Rem said she would definitely do it again. Check it:

On Instagram, the "Melanin Magic" rapper gushed over Baby Remy, writing,

“The Golden Child”

Born December 14th

7pounds and 2 ounces

We’re still on the west coast so I missed my baby tv debut (tune in to watch The Real on Fox network today) but waking up to her on my timeline put the biggest smile on my face; it’s so weird seeing her on social media. This baby is EVERYTHING me & her father, my husband @papoosepapoose prayed she would be and EVEN MORE!

Thank you to all the pages that are being respectful of our family and an even bigger thank you to my @therealdaytime family...I love & appreciate you all so much; so glad she got to meet all her aunties & uncles #RemyMa #TheGoldenChild #Mac #KenzieGirl #Remi

 

Daddy Pap is also over the moon. He captioned:

I give god the glory for her everyday! She’s more than I ever dreamed of! Thank you @remyma It’s nothing I would not do for her All Hail #thegoldenchild #underrated #blacklove #thegoldenchild wowwwwwwwwwww My little Snookems

After showing off their adorable daughter, the Hip Hop couple performed a cute baby freestyle. Peep the clip below:

'Wendy Show' Teases Talk Show Queen's Official Return

The "Wendy Show" just released a new teaser for Wendy Williams' return. See it inside...

 

 

Wendy Williams is set to return to her purple chair on Monday, March 4th for her first live show since taking an extended break from her popular daytime talk show three months ago.

Peep the new announcement above.

Last week, a statement was released by her family that said the 54-year-old took time off to focus on her health after injuring her shoulder. She was dealing with Graves’ disease complications that developed after she fractured her shoulder and was hospitalized.

In the statement, they announced Wendy would be returning March 4th and thanked everyone for "their well-wishes and for respecting her and the Hunter family's privacy during this time."

Read their full statement below:

 

 

During her time off from the show, celeb guest-hosts filled in for her, including Nick Cannon, Keke Palmer and Sherri Shepherd. The production staff began to get worried that they would lose their jobs because she allegedly hadn't updated them on her condition or when she was returning before the family released their statement. Her return date was delayed several times.

In January, she was spotted out for the first time in Florida since she announced her hiatus, but has kept a low profile since then.

In addition to her health issues, she also has a marriage crisis on her hands. Folks can't help but wonder if all the talk about her husband Kevin Hunter's alleged mistress' alleged pregnancy is the real culprit that took her out the game for so long. And people have been wondering if she'll address the rumors during her Hot Topics segment when she returns.

This episode will likely become one of her top rated episodes because we all want to know, "How You Doin' Wendy?"

Will she spill tea about her own Hot Topic? We shall see...

Jordyn Woods Was Allegedly NOT Drunk, Tristan Thompson Unbothered Amid Cheating Scandal + 50 Cent Says He's Coming For Teairra Mari's Lace Front After Court Win

Another day, another Jordyn Woods/Tristan Thompson update. Find out what sources are saying about Jordyn NOT being drunk and Tristan hitting the scene totally unbothered inside.

Also, 50 Cent is still trolling Teairra Mari over the $30K he won in court. Everything inside..

Alleged details about the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal continue ahead of Jordyn Woods' sitdown interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on "Red Table Talk."

It was previously reported the 21-year-old former Kardashian-Jenner friend was allegedly "black out drunk" when she made out with Tristan, and that she didn't recall making out with him.

Now, sources who heard her interview with Jada are telling TMZ that she said was NOT drunk and that she was aware of what was going on when she hooked up with the Cleveland Cavaliers baller last Sunday.

TMZ reports:

Woods made no excuses for her actions, which sent the Kardashians into outer space. She admits she was totally lucid during the party a week ago Sunday.

It's reported after Jordyn was able to get everything off her chest, she felt "a lot better about her future."

As you know, Jordyn moved out of her bestie Kylie Jenner's guesthouse once news hit the fan about her making out with Khloe Kardashian's baby daddy. We'll get the REAL tea when her "Red Table Talk" episode airs tomorrow.

Since the scandal, the Kardashian machine has been working over time to paint Jordyn in a bad light. However, there hasn't been much, if any, reports about cheater Tristan. Just yesterday, a story came out that said Jordyn "hooked up" with Khloe's ex-boyfriend/Houston Rockets ballter James Harden.

While the former Good American model has been catching heat, the NBA player is unbothered AF. He went out to dinner with friends at Carbone in NYC last night. It was first believed he was out on a date with a woman, but it was later revealed he went out to eat with three of his friends, including teammate Jordan Clarkson.

The Cavs baller hopped on Instagram Stories with his pinky up, sipping wine: 

 

THIS guy.

In other news...

 

50 Cent is STILL trolling Teairra Mari after a judge ruled in his favor following their recent court battle.

A judge ordered the "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star to pay the "Power" producer $30,000 after he prevailed in the revenge porn lawsuit she filed against him. She also sued her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad for the same offense.

T-Mari hasn't paid up yet, so Fif is doing everything he can to get the money he feels he's deserved.

In recent court documents, the NYC rapper was granted an order for T-Mari to bring her financial records to court so that he can determine which assets he can seize to collect on the money he's owed, according to The Blast. He's reportedly seeking financial examination of her income, bank accounts, and property.

Fif hopped on social media to continue to clown her, claiming he's going to make her "hand over her lace front" if he doesn't get his monet. He then put their court date - April 22nd - in the caption.

See the petty post below:

If T-Mari doesn't show up in court on April 22nd, she could be punished for contempt of court and/or arrested.

This isn't the first time he took to social media to troll her about the case. Last month, he posted up a screenshot of a headline about the case with the caption, "Now Teairra you can cough up the money or you can go with R.Kelly and sh*t in a bucket. LOL #lecheminduroi." So immature.

Last week, T-Mari hopped on IG to respond where she told him he's not getting a dime from her:

PR STUNT?! Travis Scott DENIES Cheating On Kylie Jenner After She Supposedly Found 'Evidence' Of Infidelity

Now, Kylie Jenner is accusing Travis Scott of cheating, but he claims that's a lie. More on this "story" inside...

We told y'all the Kardashian machine was working overtime. And with their reality show gearing up for a new season in just a few weeks, we know why.

Now, there are reports that claim Kylie Jenner has accused her boyfriend/daughter's father Travis Scott of cheating. But, the ASTROWORLD rapper claims that's not true.

Yesterday, the "Sicko Mode" rapper canceled his show in Buffalo, NY at the last minute, telling fans he was too sick to hit the stage and rescheduled:

 

 

Shortly after his announcement, reports popped up that he canceled the show to deal with Kylie after she accused him of cheating. But his reps say that's a lie.

“Travis Scott vehemently denies he cheated on Kylie," the rapper's rep told Entertainment Tonight. "It is not true. He did not cheat. He canceled one show tonight because he is under the weather.”

According to "sources," Kylie supposedly found "evidence" that Travis had cheated on her. It's reported the 26-year-old rapper flew to LA on Wednesday to surprise his 21-year-old girlfriend and their 13-month-old daughter, Stormi Webester. That's when Kylie allegedly confronted him about cheating. They reportedly got into a heated argument and that's what supposedly caused the Houston rapper to cancel his scheduled show in Buffalo so he could deal with their situation.

The timing of it all is SO interesting being that Kylie's former bestie Jordyn Woods' "Red Table Talk" interview with Jada Pinkett Smith is supposed to be released today. The former Good American model will share HER side of the cheating scandal that went down with Cleveland Cavaliers baller Tristan Thompson last Sunday. Rumors has it that she's going to apologize to Khloe Kardashian. Hmph.

We'll share the REAL tea when the episode premieres.

By the way, Kylie is also releasing new setting powders next week and the Kardashian's reality show is set to premiere at the end of the month. We see you, Kris Jenner.

Cardi B and Bruno Mars just dropped their steamy visuals for "Please Me." Get into it inside...

Grammy Award winner Cardi B has been teasing the "Please Me" video with Bruno Mars on her social media and now it's finally here.

 

 

After taking over the charts with the "Finesse (Remix)," the dynamic duo is back to do it again.

The track is about pleasing your partner, so, of course, the visuals are steamy. Directed by Bruno and Florent Dechard, the clip begins with Bruno and his homies chilling inside an after hours taco spot "somewhere in Los Angeles" on the late night tip. The "Money" rapper and girls slide in, sucking lollipops and giving off seductive looks, and then give the boys a show.

The braided rapper gives Bruno a lap dance, grinds up on him while spitting her bars and then they take the party outside before Bardi rolls out. It's almost like Part 2 of their "In Living Color"-inspired video for "Finesse."

See their party visuals below:

By the way, "Please Me" debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

Jordyn Woods is finally speaking her truth about what really went down between her and Tristan Thompson last Sunday after she was accused of making out with him and spending the night at his house.

The 21-year-old sat down with "auntie" Jada Pinkett Smith on her "Red Table Talk" series to discuss the cheating scandal involving herself and Cleveland Cavaliers baller Tristan Thompson.

If you didn't know, Jordyn and her family have strong ties to the Smith Family. Jordyn's late dad, John Woods, was a sound engineer on the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" for the show's entire run, where he and Will Smith became friends.

Before the interview, Jada's mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones offered up a gem we all can relate to.

"As women, we've all let our little girl behavior get us into some grown women mess," Jada's mother said before Jordyn and Jada sat down at the Red Table.

Hollywood actor Will Smith called in on a Facetime call (while shooting Bad Boys 3) to assure Jordyn that he and the Smith Family have her back.

"You are supported. I got you and we got you. Take your medicine and tell your truth. This is a part of what growing up is and what learning is. This world is not going to break you. We're not going to allow it," Will said in the clip before the interview.

In the interview, Jordyn began to explain how she and Tristan Thompson crossed paths on the night she was accused of sleeping with him. She said she was enjoying a night out with friends at a bar in Los Angeles and he was there.

“I was minding my business, dancing, drinking,” she said. “Tristan was there, he was doing his own thing. That was it.”

The girls she was hanging out with suggested they were going to Tristan Thompson's house after the club for a house party. She said it's typical L.A. culture to go to someone's house after the club. Tristan never personally invited her. She admitted they were all drinking.

"He didn't even personally invite me there," she explained. She said she felt comfortable going to his house because she knew him.

When it comes to reports about everyone's phones being taken away, she didn't know anything about that. She said she had her phone.

“I’m not thinking, ‘I shouldn’t be here,'” Jordyn said. “And that’s my first step where I went wrong," she admitted. "I should have gone home after the party.

Someone at the party accused Jordyn of making out with Tristan and that she gave him a lap dance. She said that's not the truth.

“Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him. It’s just — we’re all together,” she said. “We’re in a group. Never once did we leave the public area to go to a bedroom, a bathroom — we’re all in plain sight.”

The 21-year-old said in hindsight, she could see why someone would say "oh, they're getting cozy." She said she didn't have her arm around him, but admitted that her legs were over his.

"Never anything intimate," she said.

When the story broke, it was said that Jordyn was "black out" drunk.

Jordyn admitted to being drunk, but she was "not beyond the point of recollection. I know where I was."

Jordyn admitted to staying at Tristan's house until 6AM and there was still people from the party there. She said as she was leaving, the Cavs baller randomly kissed her on the lips. She said there was no "making out" or anything like that.

“It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss. No making out. Nothing,” she said. “I don’t think he’s wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position. When alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves. People get caught up in the moment."

After he kissed her, she was in shock and left.

"I didn't know how to feel. I was like 'That didn't just happen. I was just like, I need to go. I was more so in shock. I was like 'Hmm...let me pretend like this didn't happen.'"

She said she went home and she talked to her former best friend Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian.

"I was honest about being there, but I was not honest about the actions that were taking place," she explained. She said she didn't tell the whole truth because she didn't want to "add more fuel to the fire."

Jordyn said she didn't tell the truth because she was "just scared."

"I'm no homewrecker. I would never try to hurt someone's home, especially someone that I love. I never would try to steal someone's man. I don't need your situation."

When asked if she felt like she was the reason that Tristan and Khloe aren't together she responded:

"I know I'm not the reason that Tristan and Khloe aren't together. Now, this situation may have made it harder for her to want to be with him and I understand that. But, I know I'm not the reason."

Did she sleep with Tristan?

"Never. Never a thought. Never a consideration. Never will I," she responded. She clarified that there has never been a relationship between her and Tristan.

Jordyn said she spoke to Khloe a "little bit" and confirmed she apologized to her via text and over the phone. She said she's willing to do whatever it takes to give Khloe peace of mind, even suggesting that she would take a lie detector test.

Now, she has to deal with her family and the hurt. Since the scandal broke, she said she has been bullied online and now she fears for the safety of her family. The former Good American model said she broke her silence because of the safety of her family.

"Everyone's safety is now - we can't leave the house," she said breaking down in tears. "My brother can't go to work. My sister can't go to school, she's 12-years-old. My mom can't even go to the grocery store.

"When the safety of the people I love is in jeopardy, I have to speak."

Jordyn didn't want to point the finger. She owned up to her mistake and said she didn't tell the whole truth because she was fearful.

"I'm not here to play the victim. I'm here to take responsibility. And when I was asked about what happened that night, I didn't tell the truth to the people that I love. Not because of malicious intent, but because I was just scared."

Jordyn talked about how instead of the media putting their focus on real world problems, "they're putting their focus on a young black woman who made a mistake. And not a mistake that's worth public crucifixion."

"Well, you know what they say, black women can be the disregarded and disrespected creatures on the earth," Jada said. "Being a black woman in the game for so long, just seeing that without people even hearing your side, and just not given the benefit of the doubt. It just always seems like it's so easy to target black women, put everything on us, even when there's other people involved," Jada continued.

"And it took me getting here to feel it because I saw it, but never felt it," Jordyn responded.

Jordyn confirmed this is NOT a publicity stunt for the new season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

"Now, I feel like I'm free," she said at the end.

 

Check out the interview below:

After the interview was released, Khloe Kardashian hopped on Twitter to respond:

 photo jordyninterview2.jpg

No, Khloe. TRISTAN is the reason your family broke up. Did she forget this man was caught on MULTIPLE videos making out with several girls right before she gave birth to their daughter, True Thompson? Oh.

Following that tweet, the "KUWTK" star then said that she and Tristan have been addressing the situation privately:

Girl, you were addressing Jordyn BEFORE she went public.

We hope Jordyn learned her lesson about how the Kardashian Klan uses and abuses our culture until your black a** is their scapegoat. Check out TheYBF's brand new podcast where we break down the Jordyn Woods/Tristan Thompson cheating dramaHERE.

THROWBACK TEA: 'Martin' Star Garrett Morris Reveals Martin Lawrence Fired Him While In Hospital After He Was Shot & Lied About Visiting Him In The Hospital

Living legend Garrett Morris spills some throwback tea about being fired from "Martin" while he was in the hospital recovering after being shot. Hear his story inside..

 

Garrett Morris is living black history!

You may know the 82-year-old New Orleans native from his comedic acting roles, but he's not a comedian, even though he was funny AF on "2 Broke Girls," "Martin," and "The Jamie Foxx Show." He's an actor, singer, writer and composer. After moving to NYC, his first job was singing with singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte.

The Louisiana native made history as the first black actor on "Saturday Night Live." And he's the product of an HBCU. He first studied music at Juilliard, however, he graduated from Dillard University. He was once a school teacher, worked in theater and also starred on Cooley High. He also nabbed an EMMY nomination in 1979 for his work on "SNL."

The legendary actor chopped it up on Netflix's Strong Black Lead new podcast, "Strong Black Legends," where he spilled more tea about his firing from the hit series, "Martin."

 photo garrett2.jpg

This generation knows him best from his roles on "Martin" and "The Jamie Foxx Show." He played Martin's on-screen boss, Stan Winters, from 1992-1995 before he was abruptly written off the show. He has talked about his firing in the past, but it was unclear who/why he was fired.

Back in 1994, the then 57-year-old actor was shot during a robbery attempt in Los Angeles. Apparently, when the man tried to rob him, Garrett fought back (he's a first degree black belt). The robber ended up shooting him in his intestines and his chest. As a result, he had to undergo several surgeries.

While he was recovering, he received more bad news. Producers sent him his pink slip. He received a script saying his character was selling the radio station and moving to China. Poof, gone. He made one final appearance during the show's third season and that was it for that role.

Like we said, he talked about the firing in the past, but now he's revealing who exactly fired him. And he still doesn't know why.

"But the man who produced 'Martin' basically was Martin Lawrence. And after I had no bad words with him, still to this day, I do not understand why he decided to fire me while I was in Daniel Freeman Hospital."

Dang, Martin! Garrett said he also lied about coming to visit him while he was in the hospital recovering.

"Not only fired me while I was in the hospital itself, but then went around telling people in interviews that he came and sat by my bed and cried and stuff like that. The same person.”

Yvonne Orji and her boyfriend Emmanuel Acho have called it quits. Deets inside...

Yvonne Orji and her boyfriend Emmanuel Acho have split! We def were rooting for the couple, but sometimes ish just doesn't work out.

The "Insecure" star shared the break up news on her podcast with her homie/author Luvvie Ajayi on their podcast, "Jesus and Jollof."

On their "Rings and Things: Lessons on Love" episode they were talking about Valentine's Day and Luuvie's engagement. That's when Yvonne gave an update on her love life.

“I am...newly single,” she said as she transitioned into singing the "Living Single" theme song.

The actress, who starred in Night School, and the former Eagles linebacker/ESPN analyst announced they were dating in May 2018.

Looking on the bright side, Yvonne made it clear that she's not depressed or sulking around following the breakup. She said she has leaned on her faith and therapy to keep her spirits up, and she's actually happy.

“But before you you start saying ‘O, oh ayaaaa. Nooooo!’ Guys, hey. You see me? I’m happy. I’m actually so happy,” she continued. "Luvvie I remember when you called me. Luvvie called me and was like, ‘It’s okay, you can be mad!’ I was like, 'no I’m OK.' ‘No, you’ll feel it tomorrow.’ 'Luvvie, I’m ok!'"

"I was like, 'no it really is alright and I’m about to go furniture shopping.' I came back and I was like, ‘I got a couch.'”

Yvonne recently purchased her first home and has been keeping busy renovating and furnishing it.

“I just have to say, the reason why I am so good and so happy is because I know how God works,” she said. “I have seen God’s MO so many times, that like in the way that you can be like, ‘Aw man, but I thought this was it! I thought this was the one!’ God be like, ‘Oh that’s what you thought? I got the goods for you.’

"It happened in my career when someone offered me a show and I was like, ‘This is it!’ and then the show went to nowhere and then I got borderline depressed. Cut to ‘Insecure.’ Cut to my life has changed. And it happened again with the house."

As you know, Yvonne is a virginand she confirmed she did not have sex with Emmanuel during their relationship. She feels by not sleeping with him, it allowed her to make a clean break from him. She said she took time to process and reflect on everything, so that she could move on.

Take a listen at the 46:20-minute mark below: 

 

We checked, they both still follow each other on Instagram and still have their coupledom pictures posted on their accounts.

Zendaya Serves LEGEND Tease With Grace Jones, Beverly Johnson & All Black Models For Tommy X Zendaya Collection In Paris + Valentino Vibes With LaLa Anthony & More

This is her year! Zendaya is making a splash in the fashion world. Go inside to see her new Tommy X Zendaya collection modeled by legenardy vets Grace Jones, Beverly Johnson, Pat Cleveland and more inside...

 

 

2019 is shaping out to be a successful year for Zendaya.

At just 22-years-old, Zendaya became the newest and youngest global ambassador for Lancôme Beauty. And now, she's flexin' her designer skills in her new collaboration collection with Tommy Hilfiger.

The YBF starlet debuted her first #TOMMYNOW collection during Paris Fashion Week. And she made sure to pay tribute to all the female trailblazers who came before her that helped pave the way for her to be able to fulfill her dreams.

After discussing a collection with her longtime stylist Law Roach, she decided to give the line a try, but she was very particular about how she wanted it done.

"I want to make a show inspired by the women who made it possible for me to be in the position where I am now. Honestly, I just wanted to say 'thank you' to them through this show. I said to Tommy, 'If we do a show, this is what it needs to be about.' And Tommy said, 'Great. Go for it.' And he actually meant it. I mean, look."

And the show was super black. She chose 59 black models, ages 18 to 70, to show off her all-inclusive fashion line.

 

 

Pioneering icons Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, and Beverly Peele walked the show, along with Pat Cleveland, who said backstage,

"Zendaya talked to me about the Battle of Versailles, about Studio 54 and the '70s and '80s... she really wanted somebody who had been there and lived it on the runway. In a way," she told ELLE. "I think this show is really based on the story of my life."

Oh, and Pat Cleveland also hinted that Zendaya may play her in a movie based on her autobiography. Nice!

 

 

Daya specifically noted she wanted legendary model Grace Jones to walk in the show.

"We said, 'we want Grace Jones, she represents so much beauty and power and she needs to be here,'" Zendaya explained to ELLE. "And somehow, Tommy's team made it happen." (Hint: It was with help from casting director Michelle Lee.)

 

 

This is 70 by the way. Yessss legend!

Grace loved the line so much, they ended up sending her the entire collection that features body-skimming disco dresses, flared jeans, high-waisted wide-leg pants worn with striped knits, and more.

"She's the first person besides Zendaya to own the complete collection," Law Roach said.

 

The former Disney star opened up about collaborating with Tommy Hilfiger:

"Everybody has something different that they’re great at," said Zendaya. "We need to learn from people with experience, even as the world changes. I’m still at the beginning of my career, and to learn from Tommy about having a fashion line, that’s incredibly important to me. He’s like the best teacher for that. But it’s also very cool—and I think more rare than you’d realize—to have someone who’s genuinely interested in my point of view, in other women like me and our points of view, and saying, 'What do you have to bring to the table that I can’t?' That’s been the coolest experience to me—feeling like I can show him the perspective I bring to the table, and also feeling like he actually wants to know."

Mystikal Makes Bold Move In Rape Case To Get It Dismissed - 'She's Lying!'

Mystikal - who recently got out of jail on a $3 million bond - just rejected a plea deal in his current rape case and wants it dismissed. Deets inside...

Last month, New Orleans' rapper Mystikal was released after a new record deal, family and friends helped him post a $3M bond after spending 18-months behind bars.

If you haven't heard, the rapper - whose real name is Michael Lawerence Tyler - was wanted, then arrested, for rape and kidnapping charges back in August 2017.

Well, the "Danger" rapper just rejected a plea deal because he feels like the victim accusing him of rape is not telling the truth.  He claims all of that will come to light when the case goes to trial, and he's hoping the case will get dropped altogether.

Joel Pearce - Mystkal's lawyer - told TMZ he met with Caddo Parish, Louisiana prosecutors and they reportedly offered him a deal that he eventually rejected.

The aggravated rape charge, which carries a life sentence, would be reduced to simple third-degree rape ... with a 25-year max sentence. He says they'd also drop the second-degree kidnapping charge.

In exchange, Mystikal would have to plead guilty to felony simple rape ... which Pearce says he's unwilling to do. Offer rejected.

Mystikal and his defense team believes the victim has "major credibility issues" and her "lies" will be exposed in court. The trial is set to start in May, however, plea negotiations are still ongoing.

This isn't the first time the "Shake Ya A**" rapper has been accused of sexual misconduct. He spent six years in prison (2003-2010) after pleading guilty to sexual battery and extortion. He also spent another three months in jail for domestic abuse battery back in 2012.

The Grammy Award winner said he can't wait to celebrate all of the talented VA natives who slay in their lane:

“Allen Iverson. Missy Elliott. Dave Matthews Band. Ella Fitzgerald. Virginia has been home to some of the most gifted artists, athletes, and scientists to ever live. And it makes sense - the people of Virginia are one-of-a-kind: uniquely gritty, bold, and brilliant,” Pharrell Williams said in a press release.

“For the first time, we are harnessing that energy, bringing the great minds of our time and the biggest brands in the world to this great place, and letting the inspiration flow and well deserved opportunities unfold. Virginia needs this right now and the world will see what we Virginians have known all along: there really is Something in the Water.”
