Anthony Anderson under investigation for allegedly assaulting a woman
I’m hoping this is NOT true. I’m going to keep up with this case. I’m sorry but SOME people are using this #metoo movement as an excuse to file lawsuits and false claims of rape. There are real victims out here being raped and molested. Sexual assault cannot be taken lightly .
Black-ish star Anthony Anderson is under criminal investigation by the LAPD for allegedly assaulting a woman who catered an event that the actor put on. Anderson is denying the allegation.
The Blast reported that sources familiar with the situation claimed that the woman met with Anderson for a second time after she’d catered the event to discuss future opportunities to work together. That is when the woman claimed the assault happened. The women later filed a police report with the Hollywood Division of the LAPD.
In a statement to People, a representative for Anderson refuted the claims saying, “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report whether it is true or false. The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim.”
Reports claim that the woman delayed coming forward when it happened, but felt comfortable doing so months later, mostly thanks to the Me Too movement. This movement, helmed by friend of The Root, Tarana Burke gives women the space and support to come forward with their claims of sexual assault within the industry and beyond.
This isn’t the first time Anderson has faced assault accusations. It’s been reported that Anderson and an assistant director for Hustle & Flow were accused of raping an extra on the set of the film, but charges against them were later dropped.

Several members of Indiana family among those killed in Branson duck boat crash
BRANSON, Missouri – Several members of an Indiana family were on a duck boat that capsized in Branson, Missouri, Thursday night, killing 17 people.
The Missouri governor’s office confirmed to FOX59 that eleven members of the family, including several children, were aboard the boat and nine of them passed away in the incident.
The pastor of Zion Tabernacle Apostolic Church said the family was close to his church, but weren’t members. A family member shared a photo that showed some of the victims.
FOX59 spoke on the phone with one of the family members that survived the incident, Tia Coleman. The other surviving family member is her nephew.
“My heart is very heavy. Out of 11 of us, only two of us surviving – that’s me and my nephew,” said Tia. “I lost all my children, my brother-in-law.”
Tia says the captain of the boat told them “don’t worry about grabbing the life jackets – you won’t need them,” so none of the family members grabbed them.
“However in doing that, when it was time to grab them, it was too late and I believe that a lot of people could have been spared,” said Tia.
Investigators said stormy weather contributed to the crash. A thunderstorm brought winds of 50 to 65 mph to the area shortly before the first 911 call came in at 7:09 p.m. A severe thunderstorm warning had been issued for Branson at 6:32 p.m. Thursday.
The boat was carrying 31 people, and 14 survived. Investigators said earlier Friday that 13 people had been killed while four were still missing. By Friday afternoon, the death toll stood at 17 after the bodies of the four remaining missing passengers were found.
Passengers on a nearby boat described the scene as chaotic and said the winds picked up suddenly, sending debris flying everywhere.
The NTSB, Coast Guard and local law enforcement agencies are investigating.

The fight over She-Ra’s Netflix redesign explained
Some men are mad she isn’t sexier. HELL I’m mad that DreamWorks and Netflix put money on a remake that didn’t need to be! She They’re ruining my whole 1980s black girl childhood now! She-ra was the shit back in the day and they just ruined it by making a remake! WHY?? This Child like anime style for this particular remake is whack! As far as I’m concerned why even make a remake? Create something new and innovative like Steven Universe. Now I will say I do like the reboot of Voltron.
At this point in the history of humanity, it’s too naive to believe there are still things in the world that largely don’t upset people. Highly anticipated sequels from beloved film franchises, even when they’re praised in critical reviews, spur toxic reactions from the deepest pockets of the internet. Something as simple as a red coffee cup might start a new chapter in the so-called war on Christmas. Sushi can suddenly become political if the person who served the spicy tuna roll doesn’t agree with its recipient’s political views.
The latest subject of such outrage is She-Ra, the princess of power, twin sister to He-Man, and fixture of 1980s Saturday morning cartoons. And what’s the reason for this newfound and previously undiscovered pot of anger? In short, She-Ra is being reinvented and rebooted for a younger audience — and in the process, a certain contingent of fans have grown very angry that she is now, in their eyes, less sexy than she used to be.
It’s yet another example of a vocal fandom seething with seemingly irrational demands and the latest chapter in an ongoing debate about how female superheroes look.
https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/1018926076389556224?s=20
For those old enough to recall the She-Ra cartoons of yore (or anyone who can cobble together a simple Google image search), the changes to She-Ra’s costume and appearance are noticeable. She looks much younger, and her costume is a little more battle-ready, more befitting of a space cadet than a lipstick glamazon with indomitable cleavage.
The changes make sense. Netflix’s She-Ra series is ostensibly aimed at children, and the characters look like they’ve been rebooted to be younger and reflect the show’s primary audience. But that hasn’t stopped a certain sect of fans from declaring that She-Ra is no longer appealing, no longer sexy, and perhaps no longer an object of their sexual attention.
DAMNIT I want sex comic book animation. I want a fantasy story like She-Ra to have a sexual attention . *EYEROLL* Okay let me go to Netflix and look at the original She-RA because I am not investing my time watching a reboot that’s going to be whack anyway. Now if they remade it in a creative comic book drawing way then I might look at it. Oh and the writing has to be on point. But it seems like Hollywood is running out of stealing ideas from other screenwriters so all they can come up with is reboots.
It should be noted that if you don’t agree with the remake. And you want to boycott then Don’t , Repost on ANY social media platform. Don’t watch it. To get something cancelled and not renewed for a second third fourth season don’t watch it don’t tune in . you tuning in to watch gives your hated show more revenue. If you don’t tune in no money no sponsors no show .

While I am not prepared to defend bouts of “She-Ra doesn’t give me boners anymore” extremism, I can see the kernels of the argument that sexuality shouldn’t be in diametric opposition to capability. There’s no reason female characters can’t be glamorous and sexy and also battle-ready, smart, and compassionate. It’s not unlike the ongoing debate about Wonder Woman’s appearance and whether her revealing uniform ultimately undermines her feminism. I’d argue that the most important thing about women superheroes in skimpy clothes is agency — what matters is that their costumes aren’t designed primarily for the sake of someone else’s erotic thrill.
But the outrage over the new She-Ra doesn’t really seem to be concerned with that debate. It lives and dies by the idea that the new She-Ra isn’t beautiful, that She-Ra is supposed to be beautiful and sexy, and that someone has destroyed a previously beautiful, sexy woman. Some people also seem to believe that She-Ra’s reimagination is spiteful:

Four arrested after 15-year-old found living with barn animals, eating twigs and grass
MEEKER, Okla. – Four people face charges after a severely malnourished Oklahoma teenager was found living in a barn with farm animals, subsisting on sticks, leaves and grass, according to officials.
Lincoln County First Assistant District Attorney Adam Panter told the Shawnee News-Star that the boy’s father, stepmother and two older brothers have been arrested on complaints of child neglect.
The 15-year-old boy was found at a home near Meeker July 12 after a concerned passerby noticed something wasn’t right.
Investigators say the teen was close to death – he weighed just 80 pounds and was not being fed. Instead, he was forced to eat twigs and grass, even though the family’s home was fully stocked with food.
The boy was living inside a barn alongside farm animals including goats, rabbits and chickens, according to The Oklahoman.
An affidavit says that he would have likely been dead within a week.
“We’re incredibly thankful that someone called…they literally saved this child’s life,” Panter told the newspaper. “He could have died and been buried on that property and no one would have ever known.”
In addition to being malnourished, the teen also had several broken bones and shotgun pellets still in his legs.
The boy had a wound to the top of his head that investigators said contained maggots. Prosecutors believe the boy’s father, 34-year-old Jimmy Jones Sr., dug out some of the maggots and tried to close the cut using glue, the affidavit says.
Panter told the paper that the boy’s father has a full-time job as a prison guard. Jones Sr. has been jailed on an additional charge of child abuse by injury.
Police also arrested the boy’s stepmother, 46-year-old Amy Jones and two brothers, 20-year-old Johnathan Plank and 24-year-old Tyler Adkins.
The brothers are being held at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center, while the parents are in Lincoln County Jail.
The boy was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
