Kim Porter named in lawsuit by former Nanny


Kim Porter

Kim Porter, the second baby mama of rap mogul Sean Combs A.K.A. Puff Daddy, Diddy or whatever, was named in a lawsuit filed by her former Nanny. According to the gossip website TMZ, Kim’s Nanny Dawn Drago who worked for Porter, from 2011 to 2012, claims in a lawsuit that, Kim chain-smoked pot in the house and had access to Porter’s cocaine while Diddy’s young daughters were at home:

Drago claims the kids had gotten into “a bag containing the powder, along with clear capsules, filled with another powdery substance in a bag in the back seat.”

Drago says she confronted Porter, who said the bag contained “medicine.”

And there’s more.  Drago also claims Porter verbally and violently abused her before eventually firing her last year.

As for why she was fired … Drago says the marijuana smell was choking and she dared to complain she couldn’t take it.

The case — filed by Patrick Reider — seeks unspecified damages.

No wonder those twins always look neglected and unhappy. When I say neglected I mean, you can tell she doesn’t take an interest in those girls. Those twins always look like she’s not into them.

When The Biological Clock Ticks And you get Tricked! Tonite on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


fighting-couple

We as humans allow time to dictate our biological processes. We have to have children and be married before the age of 25 or 30. We want to be happily married and fully established by the age of 50. All of these mental pressures determine our decisions instead of us allowing God to naturally perfect theses developments.

When life’s major decisions are carried out according to man and society, mistakes are made and then regrets ensue. Temporary insanity affects our decision-making because the world defines it one way, when God’s plan is completely different.

Being desperate and determined to make things happen according to your plan and not God’s, equals you being tricked into making all the wrong decisions in the long run.

Join me Wednesday April 10, 2013 at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as I discuss being tricked as the result of these biological pressures.

Controversy, Politics, President Obama, What he said

President Obama gets heat for saying Kamala Harris is ‘best looking attorney general’


CA_Attorney General_Obama

The media is all abuzz because President Barack Obama said California Attorney General Kamala Harris was the “best looking attorney general in the country”.

The unexpected comment ruffled the feathers of some observers and caused a  commotion on social media such as Twitter. Obama set up the remark with a heap of more conventional praise for Harris, 48,  who campaigned for him last year. “She is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough,” Obama said.

What came next was a compliment, but what was heard around the world was taken as and considered an uncharacteristic slip by the smooth-talking President Obama. The President’s critics immediately took it to Twitter where some Twitter users blasted his quip as “awkward” and even “sexist.”

I guess just about any and every thing that comes out of President Barack Obama’s mouth is easily misconstrued and twisted, by his “haters and constituents”.

President Obama is a politician is all and he’s learned how to play the game well and that includes schmoozing when he has too.

Do you think the President’s compliments about the attractive CA Attorney General were awkward and inappropriate? Sound off!

Jill Scott Says: It’s Hard Being a Single Mom


Jill_Scott

In the new issue of Ebony Magazine Jill Scott says raising a child alone is
nearly impossible…a man child especially.

That I-can-do-it-by-myself mentality is a lie. I’m sorry if I hurt anybody’s feelings, but you cannot do it all by yourself. You need a village: some aunties, grandmoms, friends. I couldn’t do this by myself and would be a fool to think I could.”

And on raising a boy

“It’s challenging being a single mom … No matter what I do, I’ll never be a man. Ever. I can show Jett how to be a thinker, how to enjoy music or how to feel, and to conquer. But I cannot show him how to be a man.”

Rutgers Fires Abusive Coach Amid Public Outcry (Video)

Rutgers University has fired men’s basketball coach Mike Rice less than 24 hours after ESPN’s Outside the Lines aired shocking video footage of Rice verbally and physically abusing his players.

The video footage shows an unhinged Rice physically attacking his players and throwing basketballs at their heads during practice.

The video sparked anger and outrage on Wednesday. NBA star LeBron James vented his anger on Twitter.com Tuesday, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was “deeply disturbed” by the video.

The saddest aspect of the video was the players, seeing their spirits broken, absorbing the abuse heaped on them by their coach as if they had no other choice but to accept the abuse. 3 basketball players transferred to other schools as a result of Rice’s abuse.

The video was turned over to the school last Summer by former director of player development Eric Murdock, whose contract was not renewed after he came forward with the allegations. Murdock has since filed a lawsuit against Rutgers.

Murdock, who is black, sat for an interview with Outside The Lines.
