Lindsey Shaw in tears over ‘hate’ she got from black dance critique

Leave a comment

Former Nickelodeon actress Lindsey Shaw has tearfully announced a break from social media after being flooded with “hate” messages for mocking a viral dance craze started by young black men.

The one-time “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” star insisted she was just poking fun at the difference between millennials and Gen Z when she first referenced the dance video that has been viewed 100 million times.

“Hey. Are we OK? What the f–k is this?” the 32-year-old actress said in her initial TikTok, mimicking the slowed-down dance alongside the caption “Millinneals win.”

But she was soon back online in floods of tears, saying in a video, “The hate mail in my inbox is not OK. OK? I did not mean anything in any kind of way,” she insisted.

“I’m not here to offend or belittle anybody. At all. I thought that the millennial and Gen Z thing was a thing on TikTok. This intention wasn’t that serious, y’all,” she said, wiping away tears.

“I am learning every day, as I think everybody is. And this kind of hate just needs to evaporate from the planet no matter who it’s towards,” she said.

Shaw asked “What the f–k is this?” as she poked fun at the dance.

“Crocodile tears? No, dude! This is like my soul out there!

“I am sorry you were offended,” she said, adding that “we all need to vibrate higher for the future.”

“I think for my own mental health I need to take a step back from social media,” she said.

She later said she’d be stepping away from social media for mental health reasons.

“So yeah I’ve gotta just go off of here for a little while, but I appreciate you, I love you and I’ll be back,” she vowed.

Donald Trump Jr. tears into Avenatti, Fauci, Hunter Biden, and CNN in a fiery CPAC Dallas speech

Leave a comment

Donald Trump Jr. took aim at several high-profile targets during a fiery speech at CPAC in Dallas.

Trump Jr. began his unscripted remarks on Friday by touting how his father, former President Donald Trump, was “right” about “everything,” highlighting the coronavirus lab-leak theory that was widely dismissed by Democrats and members of the media last year. 

“At what point in time in these morons’ minds, I don’t know, the Wuhan lab-leak theory not the most plausible argument in the year 2020?” Trump Jr. asked. 

Trump Jr. mocked the lab-leak deniers, sparking laugher in the audience.

“Don’t laugh- you’re not canceled. Congratulations,” Trump Jr. quipped. “By laughing, you would have been thrown off every social media platform, you would have been thrown out of a job in science because, you know, science no longer follows the rules of physics, right? They don’t follow math, they follow the narrative dictated by CNN because that is able to manipulate the rules of physics.”

Trump Jr. lamented that “the world is going to hell” under the Biden administration, pointing to rising gas prices. He knocked the White House’s tweet touting the 16-cent savings from this year’s Fourth of July barbeque. And he took a swipe at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki for pushing the “narrative” that it was Republicans, not Democrats, who are in favor of “defunding the police.”

“Jen Psaki told me so, so it must be true!” he exclaimed. “Is that true or did you see that on CNN?”

He roasted the media for saying that the “proof” that President Biden “hasn’t lost it” or “riddled with dementia” was by pointing to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments calling the president “smart.”

“I don’t know. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say if it was Donald Trump that Vladimir Putin said that about, it’d be a slightly different response,” Trump Jr. told the crowd. “Did you ever think that maybe Vlad is thrilled to be negotiating against a dolt? 

“America First went down the toilet with this administration folks, okay? But despite what we’re seen going on a daily basis, despite all of that … there’s one silver lining, Michael Avenatti’s going to prison!” he grinned. “I’m sorry… ‘Democratic presidential hopeful.’ I heard this from Brian ‘Potato Head’ Stelter for years on CNN.”

After exchanging pleasantries with an audience member, Trump Jr. shared why he thinks his family is loved by the conservative base.

“We actually fight. We’ll actually push back, right? That’s what Donald Trump did for the Republican Party. He showed that you don’t have to just turn the other cheek, roll over and die as the other side gets what they want and laughs their way to the bank,” he explained. “We need you guys in that fight with us… They can’t cancel all of us.” 

Trump Jr. slammed the “propagandists” in the media for “jumping on every conspiracy.”

“Remember, you guys get canceled for being conspiracy theorists. They created them, they push them, and yet there’s no accountability,” he told the audience. “But today, in 2021, we all know that the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is about six months.”

Trump Jr. then took aim at White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him a “bureaucrat in a lab coat.”

“Fauci is better at pitching baseballs than he is at science, okay?” Trump Jr. jabbed the NIAID director, a reference to Fauci’s disastrous Opening Day first pitch attempt.

He pummeled Hunter Biden for his racist text messages that have surfaced from his “laptop from Hell,” as well as the newly-launched art show of his paintings, which has been sounding alarms over ethics concerns. 

“How do we get what we want from the Democrat Party? Just buy Hunter’s art,” Trump Jr. knocked the president’s son. “What do you think the media reaction would be to ‘Don Jr. smoking parmesan cheese?’ I promise you it wouldn’t be what we saw from the media. It would be a little different. And then I say that and they say ‘Oh, you’re making fun of people with addiction’ … I totally understand addiction. It’s terrible. We all know people that have suffered from it. It doesn’t absolve you from being a total piece of garbage in every other aspect of your life. It doesn’t absolve you from selling access to the highest levels of government. It doesn’t absolve you from selling out your country. It doesn’t absolve you from, I don’t know, child support from the stripper you knocked up a couple of years ago… Because I have a feeling that if it was me, I would not be absolved.”

Trump Jr. later railed against Hunter Biden’s father and his love for ice cream. 

“Has Joe Biden done anything that didn’t involve an ice cream parlor?” Trump Jr. asked. “It’s like a toddler. Like, ‘Joe, if you get the line right, you get a scoop of ice cream! Maybe even two scoops!’”

He closed his remarks with a pep talk with the pro-Trump crowd. 

“Stay in the fight. Stay in the game. Make sure you’re involved. Make sure you have those conversations with your friends. Don’t let this one slide,” said Trump Jr. “We need you in there with us… We will continue to be in this fight as long as you guys do.”

The Talk’s Meghan Markle Debate Leaves Sharon Osbourne in Tears

Leave a comment

Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood may be on a show called The Talk, but after today’s episode, it seems like it should be called The Debate.

On Wednesday, March 10, the normally friendly co-hosts engaged in a heated conversation about Sharon’s decision to support Piers Morgan after the British personality said he doesn’t “believe” Meghan Markle was ever suicidal while working for the British royal family.

Sheryl questioned, “What would you say to people who may feel that while you’re standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don’t agree.”

In response, Sharon explained that she’s not trying to “slide out of” trouble, but genuinely doesn’t understand his remarks to be racist. According to Sharon, she doesn’t find it fair that just because of her friendship with Piers, she too can be accused of racism.

“I very much feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?” she fired back. “What does it gotta do with me?”

Connecticut top cop holds back tears after announcing mother’s arrest for killing young son, ‘take me away’

Leave a comment

A Connecticut mother has been arrested after allegedly admitting to killing her 4-year-old son, authorities said Sunday. 

New London police responded at approximately 6:27 a.m. Sunday morning to a report of a female damaging a parked vehicle with a bat outside of an apartment at 242 Nautilus Drive. 

Upon arrival on scene, police made contact with the owner of the vehicle. The reported female suspect, later identified as 33-year-old Tiffany Farrauto, had left the scene prior to police arrival.

CHARGES PERMANENTLY DROPPED AGAINST BREONNA TAYLOR’S BOYFRIEND FOR SHOOTING THE NIGHT SHE WAS KILLED

While on scene with the vehicle owner, Farrauto approached police and informed them that she had “strangled” her four-year-old son, who was located inside the apartment. 

New London Police Chief Peter Reichard said at a news conference Sunday that Farrauto told officers to “take me away.” When one of the officers asked her why she wanted them to take her away, “she indicated that she harmed her son and that her son was in the apartment,” Reichard alleged. 

Police immediately entered the apartment, where they found an unconscious and unresponsive young male child. Officers instantly began CPR in an attempt to resuscitate the child, while notifying emergency medical personnel. The child was later transported to L+M Hospital by the New London Fire Department. The child was pronounced deceased shortly after arriving at the hospital by medical staff.

The scene was immediately secured and detectives responded to investigate the incident. The New London Judicial District State’s Attorney’s Office, the Connecticut State Police Major Crime Unit-Eastern District, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner were notified and responded to the scene as well.

While talking about the child’s death during Sunday’s press conference, Reichard began to get emotional.  

“I talked to the officers who first arrived to the scene. They were choked up by it. All of them have children the same age and it hits home. It hits you right in the gut,” Reichard said while trying to hold back tears. “I then proceeded to the emergency room myself where several more of my officers and the entire emergency room staff were. It hits home with them too and they do these things every day. It’s not easy.”

Reichard added that he would not publicly identify the boy until the child’s father and family could be notified first. Police offered their condolences to the child’s family in a statement posted on the department’s Facebook page.

An investigation into the incident remains ongoing. An autopsy will be performed on Monday to determine the child’s cause of death. Farrauto, who is being held on a $2 million bond, will also undergo DNA testing, Reichard said.
