Cardi B wants videotape and text messages with Offset sealed in $30 million court battle
Article via RevoltTV
Cardi B has taken a trip back to court in hopes of blocking a videotape and private text messages with Offset from being released.
According to The Blast, Cardi is worried about her videotaped deposition, which is scheduled for this month. During the deposition, Cardi will be confronted by her former manager, Klenord “Shaft” Raphael, in regards to their lawsuit. Cardi is urging the judge to seal the videotape. The Invasion of Privacy spitter fears that the video will become a social media frenzy if released.
“The public release of any video of Ms. Almanzar’s deposition, in particular, poses a significant risk of harm and misuse on social media platforms because it is highly likely that any such video will be reproduced and edited (and possibly manipulated) into out-of-context video clips and GIFs of her testimony,” the site reveals. “Any such video clips are likely to be widely posted on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter and remain available through trial in this case. Such dissemination would be an egregious and prejudicial invasion of Ms. Almanzar’s privacy and could significantly affect the available jury pool.”
Back in April, Cardi was sued for $10 million by her former manager for a breach in contract. As a response, Cardi countersued Raphael for $15 million in damages. She also accused Raphel of screwing her over in multiple business affairs.
The Bronx spitter stated that Raphael took advantage of her “trust and naiveté and persuaded her to sign contracts and to enter into deals in which Mr. Raphael attempted to take an unreasonable and unconscionable portion of [her] earnings in the entertainment industry for himself.”
Last week, Cardi emphasized the importance of being safe and cautious. The mother-of-one was set to hit the stage at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Downtown Indianapolis. Unfortunately, one hour before the soldout show, the event was canceled due to a security threat.
“Dear Indiana I just want to let you know I was in the venue today,” Cardi wrote in an effort to sympathize with her fans. “I rehearsed and started doing glam.Due to a security threat that is under investigation the show was canceled. My safety and your safety first .I want to thank the promoters we have already rescheduled the show. Im so sorry guys I never dealt with a situation like this before and I’m not taking any chances.I love you guys.”

Valentina Sampaio Is Reportedly Victoria’s Secret’s First Transgender Model
Valentina Sampaio has reportedly been hired to appear in a Victoria’s Secretcampaign, which would make her the first openly transgender model for the lingerie company, which has been trying to rebrand.
The 22-year-old Brazilian recently posted on her Instagram page a photo of her sitting in a bathrobe backstage at what she said was a photo shoot for the company’s PINK line on Long Island, New York.
“Backstage click @vspink #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #model #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio #bomdia,” she wrote.
She also posted a selfie video, writing, “Never stop dreaming genteee #staytuned #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio,” as well as a pic of her sitting and smiling, writing, “Life is amazing… Love more and hate less, hate is useless, just do not waste time with it!”
Victoria’s Secret and parent company L Brands have not commented on her posts, which come amid the group’s attempt to rebrand amid declining sales and following controversial comments that the group’s chief marketing officer Ed Razek had made last year about the idea of including transgender and plus-size models in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
“First transgender to shoot with Vs! This make me so happy! ❤️” Victoria’s Secret Angel and fellow Brazilian model Lais Ribiero tweeted on Saturday.
“Wow finally!” fellow transgender star, LGBTQ+ activist and Orange Is the New Black alum Laverne Cox commented on Sampaio’s post.
While Sampaio (not to be confused with Victoria’s Secret Angel Sara Sampaio) would make fashion history with her mere involvement with the chain, she will likely not get to walk anytime soon at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, as it apparently won’t take place this year, according to recent comments made by Victoria’s Secret Angel Shanina Shaik.
“I’m sure they’re trying to work on branding and new ways to do the show because it’s the best show in the world,” she told Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
L Brands has not commented on Shaik’s comments.
In 2017, Sampaio made fashion history by becoming the first transgender model to appear on the cover of a Vogue publication, specifically Vogue Paris.
In November, Razek told the main Vogue magazine, “If you’re asking if we’ve considered putting a transgender model in the show or looked at putting a plus-size model in the show, we have.”
“Do I think about diversity? Yes. Does the brand think about diversity? Yes. Do we offer larger sizes? Yes,” he said. “It’s like, why doesn’t your show do this? Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us. And they carp at us because we’re the leader.”
Weeks later, Halsey, who performed at the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, wrote on Twitter that after the event was filmed, “some comments were made regarding the show that I simply cannot ignore.”
“As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have no tolerance for a lack of inclusivity. Especially not one motivated by stereotype,” she wrote. “If you are a trans person reading this, and these comments made you feel alienated or invalidated please know that you have allies. We stand in solidarity, and complete and total acceptance is the only “fantasy” that I support…”
The reported scrapping of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year comes months after the New York Times said that L Brands’ chief executive Leslie Wexner announced in a memo to the chain’s associates that the event would no longer air on network television after a nearly two-decade run. Wexler said that the company had been “taking a fresh look at every aspect of our business” in recent months, and that the brand “must evolve and change to grow.”

A$AP Rocky is Out and About, Crashes Kanye’s Sunday Service and Checks Out His Ex GF Kendell Jenner
A$AP Rocky is showing his gratitude to one Kanye West for trying to get him out of Swedish custody … by showing up on a Sunday and partaking in worship.
The just-released rapper was in attendance Sunday for Ye’s weekly Sunday Service, where he was wearing a jacket in the hot sun — but appeared to be in great spirits. He was filmed talking to his old flame, Kendall Jenner, and they seemed pretty chummy.
Kendall and A$AP have history together, they were dating on and off for a number of years. They haven’t been seen in a romantic capacity since early 2017.
A$AP was also photographed chatting up Kanye himself, who was decked out in his usual Sunday Service gear. Some thank-yous were probably exchanged … and for good reason.
As we reported … Kanye was part of the initial push to get A$AP’s legal predicament on President Trump‘s radar, before he was eventually freed last week pending a verdict. We’re told Ye’s got a direct line to the Oval, and that he suggested Trump talk to the Swedish PM.
A panel of judges decided to release A$AP while a decision is made in his assault case, which wrapped up Thursday after a three-day trial. Rocky touched down in L.A. early Saturday morning, and seemed ecstatic to be finally be home after a month in jail.
A$AP testified that he and his crew were acting in self-defense, and that they tried to diffuse the situation with the alleged victim before things got violent.
The Swedish prosecutor recommended a 6-month jail sentence — a decision is expected to be made on his fate on August 14, when he has to come back to Sweden.

Ronald Reagan’s Daughter Says Audio of Her Dad Calling African Diplomats ‘Monkeys’ Made Her Cry
Patti Davis, daughter of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, has spoken out after audio emerged of her father calling United Nations diplomats “monkeys” during a taped 1971 conversation with then-President Richard Nixon.
In a segment of the tape published in a July 30 article in The Atlantic, Reagan, who was then the governor of California, can be heard expressing his frustration to Nixon over the United Nations voting to recognize the People’s Republic of China with the help of delegates from African countries.
“To see those, those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Reagan says on the tape, as Nixon laughs.
In a Washington Post op-ed published Thursday, Davis wrote that listening to her father’s racist remarks made her cry. “There is no defense, no rationalization, no suitable explanation for what my father said on that taped phone conversation.”
Davis went on to say that she never heard her father make remarks like those recorded in the tape. “When I was growing up, bigotry and racism were addressed in my family by making it clear that these were toxic and sinister beliefs that should always be called out and shunned,” she wrote.
The former Republican President served two terms from 1981 to 1989. He died in 2004. Davis’ mother, former first lady Nancy Reagan, died in 2016.
The 66-year-old first daughter also says that if the tape emerged when her father was still alive, she is certain he “would have sought to make amends for the pain his words caused.”
“I believe, if my father had, years after the fact, heard that tape, he would have asked for forgiveness,” she wrote. “He would have said, ‘I deeply regret what I said — that’s not who I am.’

A fraternity member gave ‘step-by-step’ directions to 5 people who then killed themselves, a lawsuit alleges
A former fraternity member and student at Truman State University in Missouri allegedly provided “step-by-step” directions to five people who died by suicide in 2016 and 2017, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the university, the fraternity and the student. The member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity told people he considered himself a superhero nicknamed “peacemaker,” parents of two of the deceased allege in the suit, which identifies the accused as Brandon Grossheim.
Grossheim counseled people with “step-by-step directions” for using their own free will and to “deal with depression,” according to a news release issued by lawyers for the parents of Alex Mullins, 21, and Joshua Thomas, 18. Grossheim gave no comment to CNN’s repeated requests.
“Both the University and the Fraternity were aware that the Plaintiff victims were vulnerable and suffered from depression, yet they still allowed this suspicious fraternity brother to be alone and have unfettered access to the victims,” the release states. “This tragedy was preventable.
“The lawsuit alleges negligence and wrongful death and seeks unspecified damages. “It is our understanding that a lawsuit has been filed by the parents of Alex Mullens and Joshua Thomas, two members of the Xi Chapter of the Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda, in connection with their deaths. Our sympathy continues for the families and friends of our lost Brothers of the Xi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda,” the fraternity said a statement.”
The death of these young men during the 2016-2017 school year greatly impacted the Xi Chapter and the surrounding community. Like Truman State University, The Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda, Inc., the National Fraternity, strongly disagrees with the allegations in the lawsuit to the extent those allegations are directed against it and will vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda does not comment on pending litigation and therefore, will not comment further.”

‘We’ve Survived So Much’: Jada Pinkett Smith Opens Up About CPS Showing Up to Home Over Claims She Was ‘Abusing’ Willow Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith has no issues with being open and candid on her talk show. And she says the reason is that her famous family weathered the “storm” of having child protective services show up at their door.
Smith made the admission while at the Ham Yard Hotel in London hosting a screening of her Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk” on August 1.
“We’ve been through so much as a family, it takes a lot to rock us,” she told the Daily Mail when talking about the worst thing that has ever happened to her clan. “Once you’ve survived having child protection services come to your house because someone called and said, ‘You’re abusing Willow, you’re not feeding her’ … When you’ve gone through crazy stuff like that, whatever you’ve spoke about at the ‘Red Table Talk,’ doesn’t mean anything, due to the storms you’ve survived off of that table [and being so open].
“We’ve survived so much as a family, so that’s one of the things I’m grateful for,” she added. “We hold it down together and give each other that freedom to speak our truth.”
In 2014, the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services showed up to the Smith family home. At issue was a photo showing a then-13-year-old Willow lying in bed with her shirtless friend, actor Moises Arias, who was 20 at the time, that was posted to his Tumblr page.
Radar Online reported the agency got involved after receiving an anonymous tip “about the welfare and safety of Willow, based on the contents of the photo.”
Smith and her husband, actor Will Smith, were cleared after CPS investigated.
A source with DCFS told Radar there was “no evidence presented that Willow has ever been in any danger around Moises, or that she has ever been physically or emotionally abused.” Additionally, they found Willow was “a very well adjusted, smart, and articulate young lady.”
Speaking to TMZ before the clearing, Jada said “there was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles, and that’s not cool.”

Wendy Williams Divorce: Andy Cohen Ends Feud With Williams With the Kindest Note
Wendy Williams, the provocative and sometimes controversial host of The Wendy Williams Show, has been making a lot of big changes since she filed for divorce from her longtime husband earlier this year. Many people are aware about the way that the divorce has changed Williams’ personal life.
For one, she moved from New Jersey to an apartment of her own in New York. Along with the new locale, she’s piecing together a new social scene and packing her schedule with events and dates. Part of this “new” life, though, seems to involve reconnecting with some old friends—some who have been intentionally distant over the years.
One such friend is Andy Cohen. The two did not speak for several years, but Cohen recently appeared on Williams’ show, and she is set to appear on his in September. What changed, and what does it mean about Williams’ life going forward?
Williams had been with her husband, Kevin Hunter, since the 1990s. They were married in 1997 and had a son three years later. While they had a very long marriage, Williams revealed in her book Wendy’s Got the Heat that Hunter was unfaithful to her shortly after their son was born.
The pair worked through that challenge, but in 2017, rumors began to swirl about Hunter’s renewed infidelity. This time, Hunter was romantically linked to a massage therapist.
In addition to these tales of cheating, many sources report that Hunter was physically abusive to Williams, including reports from Hunter’s own mother, who allegedly witnessed the abuse. Still, Williams stood by her husband and went on air in early 2019 to say that her wedding ring was staying put and that the rumors were just part of a rough patch like any normal marriage faces.
Williams moved for divorce amid personal health concerns
Just a few short months later, though, Williams served Hunter divorce papers. The final straw may have been even more rumors of infidelity.
Whatever the case, the drama was clearly taking a toll on Williams who publicly put a hiatus on her show while she dealt with health issues. Privately, those close to her suggested she was struggling with her sobriety.
Divorcing Hunter seems to have helped Williams regain control over her life, and her show is now back.
As Williams builds her new life, it seems like some of the old bridges that had been burned with former friends may also have a chance at renewal.
Hunter kept people distant
Hunter was not only Williams’ spouse. From early in their relationship, he was her manager. He was also an executive producer on her show, and he was only recently removed from that position.
Apparently, his influence on the set of the show was a huge turnoff for many people. He was reportedly very controlling about who had access to Williams, and the set in his absence is much more welcoming—if maybe a bit more chaotic.
One of those people who felt unwelcome with Hunter around was Andy Cohen.
After Williams’ divorce announcement went public, Cohen wrote Williams a letter.
In it he noted, “Your husband was not my biggest fan. But I want you to know, I’ve been cheering you on for the last six years.”
Cohen’s gesture of goodwill was enough to spark a reconnection with Williams and an eventual invitation to her show.
Many speculate that it was Hunter, not Williams, who was responsible for driving people away. Apparently, Cohen is not the only person who has reached out to Williams to let her know that any former misgivings could be set aside. Charlamagne tha God told Page Six that he, too, reached out to her following her split from Hunter.
As Williams pieces together a new life free from the influence of Hunter, it’s possible that even more relationships from her past will be rekindled, giving her the support group she needs to come out stronger than ever.
