R. Kelly is sitting behind bars for something other than the crimes that he was convicted of
R. Kelly is innocent and an angel. Both he and Crosby were framed by the CIA.
(Former) Prince Harry is a hypocrite. He cuts ties with the Royal Family but then makes money off a book and a series of interviews—a great way to have your cake and eat it, too.
Ellen Degenerate is responsible for my beautiful daughter Francine becoming lesbian.
She used to have a beautiful family, my 3 grandchildren, and married for 15 years.
Then she started going to Ellen’s tapings, making her leave her family for a biker named Big Donna.
Ellen destroyed my family.
Lance Armstrong aka Uniball
Criticize Weinstein all you want, but Hollywood lacks a strong man like him nowadays.
The things aboit Jussie Smollett's lie was that, queer people, of amy race are actually victims of hate crimes every day. Him lying about that gives bigots a chance to say it doesn't happen at all.
What can you say? Hollywood is full perverted male and female celebs!
There is so much proof that Meghan Markle lies about at least half the stuff she says. Pathological liar.. how is that not scandal? Oh year I remember, victim mentality
Just remember, when it came to Diana's life after leaving Charles, the media, and the Royals never had a problem with her until she started seeing a person of colour. They also never had an issue with all of Harry's issues or girlfriends until he started seeing a person of colour. The Royal family has ALWAYS been all in on racism.
It doesn't matter to me if Bill Cosby's behind bars or not, the damage is already done. He built a life on the image of being a wholesome fatherly type, he was the god of fatherly image for America based on his shows and decades of portrayals. Once they brought up all that about him the carefully orchestrated facade was destroyed overnight and people don't perfectly see him as that anymore. It's not just about getting away with it, people like him, like Ellen, they thrive off of others thinking they're a perfect saint, they have a hero complex, so for people to see them for what they really are be it imperfect, evil, creepy, sadistic it really gets to them deep down even if they smile like they think they're still in control.
Running out of ideas if you keep couraging Caleb scandals.
Bill Cosby was convicted of these crimes because someone didn't get what they wanted from him. People will say and do absolutely anything when they don't get their way IJS.
Britney Spears is a mess—a severely mentally disturbed individual who only got worse with drugs and alcohol. I fear for her without the conservatorship.
Whats crazy is that Ellen hired outside people for filming during covid lock down instead of her own crew during a time where income stability wasn't stable.
Meghan the narcissist, untalented attention-seeker. Sheesh!
Boondocks x R kelly😂
Ricky Gervais & The Hollywood scandals 😂
I remember Jennifer Lorens pooper.
6:44 You Have to Believe in Mental Health Think about it
6:44 Mental Health is not a Hot Take.
Honorable mention: Will Smith and the slap that was heard across the world. everyone knows that Will Smith is one of the greatest modern day actors of all time but he tarnished his reputation by slapping Chris Rock during the live broadcast of the Oscars where he won best actor in King Richard for joking about Jada Picket Smith but doing so caused quite the scandal considering he was slow to apologize for reacting the way he did.
GENDER RACIST THIS IS WHERE GUYS ARE THE WRONG DOER AND WOMEN ARE THE VICTIM ALWAYS I MEAN WHAT ABOUT WOMEN MONEY USING GUYS LIST OR WOMEN FALSE ACCUSATION ON GUYS FOR MONEY LIST???SMH ANYWAY, GOING BACK TO THIS TOPIC WHEN GUY TOUCH WOMEN NOT EVEN PURPOSELY THAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT BUT LOOK AROUND WHEN WOMEN TOUCH GUYS ANYWHERE THE THIGH THE CHEST EVEN ON THE SHAFT HOW WAS THAT NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT TO MEN GENDER RACIST DOUBLE STANDARD SOCIETY IS SMH
