R. Kelly’s ex-wife will soon make her debut on the reality TV show Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta.

Andrea “Drea” Kelly is beaming with cash after R. Kelly paid her $161,000 in back child support to get out of jail in Chicago earlier this month.

Drea will debut on the reality TV show later this year. According to WENN.com, Drea does not plan to go easy on her ex husband, who faces life in prison if he’s convicted on a slew of child sex abuse charges.

Kelly was indicted last month on the charges involving four victims, three of whom were underage, in incidents spanning more than a decade. He vigorously denied the accusations during an explosive interview with Gayle King.

In the video above, comedian Luenell goes in on Drea for trashing her kids father yet milking his name.

Open Post: Oprah Admits She Wanted to Be White

The ReadyWriter

Media mogul Oprah Winfrey once admitted she wanted to be white, which explains a lot.

Oprah, 65, made headlines last week when she interviewed Michael Jackson’s two accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck in her special called “After Neverland”. Both men appeared in the controversial HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, in which they claimed Jackson molested them as youngsters.

Jackson died of respiratory and cardiac arrest following a propofol overdose in 2009 at age 50.

Oprah’s interview with Robson and Safechuck was empathetic and supportive. She even denounced Jackson who was acquitted of similar accusations after a 14-week molestation trial in 2005.

Now an old Oprah interview has resurfaced in the Internet graveyard where nothing stays buried forever.

In the old Barbara Walters interview, that originally aired in 1988, Oprah explained that she once wished she was white.

Gayle King: ‘I wasn’t scared during R. Kelly interview’

The ReadyWriter

Gayle King was praised by her colleagues for her calm composure during her career-defining interview with troubled singer R. Kelly.

Kelly was previously arrested and charged with aggravated sexual abuse. His interview with King was his first since he bonded out of jail last weekend.

Kelly was agitated and aggressive during the explosive interview which aired on CBS This Morning. King, 64, remained calm and unbothered as Kelly stood over her while loudly professing his innocence.

Her quiet composure sparked hundreds of memes on social media, including the meme below.

“I was not scared,” King told the Oprah Magazine, where she serves as editor-at-large. “I never thought he was going to hit me.“

King said she realized how scary the scenes looked “after Oprah and my kids Kirby and Will called me to ask if I was okay… But I was never worried he was going to hurt me. I was more worried that he was going to get up and leave,” King explained.

“So what I was really thinking to myself was: I’m not done with this interview, so I’m going to let him have his moment. If I stood up even to comfort him, that could have been his invitation to say ‘This is over.’ So I didn’t interrupt his anger and let him have that.”

Sources say the interview saved King’s career as an anchorwoman. She was rumored to have one foot out the door at CBS when her contract ends soon.
