Paris Jackson Talks Family Drama After Janet’s BBMAs Performance
Later that night, Rebbie’s son, Austin Brown, shared a photo from Janet’s performance on Instagram. “Couldn’t be more proud of my aunt for not only delivering a stellar performance but also showing people greatness is ageless,” the singer wrote. “Congrats on your Icon award.”
Paris Jackson shared a screenshot on Instagram Stories Monday, writing, “Ditto.”
The 20-year-old Gringo actress was criticized on social media for not showing up to support Janet, prompting her to address some larger issues within the Jackson family once and for all.
Paris, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, added, “Thank you for understanding.”
“Every family has their moments of trauma, heartbreak, separation, love, oneness, tribe, pain, everything. EVERY FAMILY. My family, specifically, and a good number of others…well, our drama is broadcasted worldwide through media. But that doesn’t mean our family issues are any different from yours. Ours are just made public,” said Paris, who’s father tried to keep her out of the public eye. “Every level has another devil. Every life has their own s–t to deal with. We ain’t inferior or superior to y’all. We’re all f–king human. So let’s act like it. I appreciate any and every person reading this and I’m grateful for everything in my life, positive and negative.”
In her acceptance speech, a soft-spoken Janet told the audience, “Everything we lack, God has in abundance: compassion, sensitivity, patience and a boundless love. So, again, I want to thank all of you for this honor and I thank God for giving me the precious energy that lets me live my life as an artist who, every single day, seeks to expand my capacity to love. Thank you so much.”
A little bit later, Paris updated her Instagram Stories again, writing, “Also not to mention, no one from my mgmt reached out to me about attending billboards or about the award, and no one from my family did either. I had absolutely no idea until y’all spammed me with hatred.”

DANG??? Are you mad??? I wonder did she use Pepto or Kaopectate? LMBFAO
SALINE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan engineering company employee has been fired after police determined she baked laxatives into brownies intended for a departing colleague’s send-off.
Saline police Chief Jerrod Hart says officers confiscated the tainted confections May 3 after another employee tipped off management. No one ate the brownies.
The Ann Arbor News reports that Hart says the 47-year-old woman initially denied putting laxatives in the brownies, but after learning investigators would test them she admitted she had. Her name hasn’t been released……

ASK YOUR BABY’S PERMISSION BEFORE CHANGING DIAPER, SAYS SEXUAL CONSENT EXPERT
A sex education expert has sparked a debate on sexual consent, after she argued that parents should ask children for permission before changing their diapers.
Deanne Carson, who works for an organization which teaches children about consent, appeared on Australia’s ABC news network to comment on Saxon Mullins, whose rape case sparked a national debate on sexual consent laws. Carson argued that parents should teach their children about consent as early as possible.
“We work with parents from birth…Just about how to set up a culture of consent in their homes. ‘I’m going to change your nappy now, is that OK?’ Of course a baby’s not going to respond ‘yes mum, that’s awesome I’d love to have my nappy changed’.
“But if you leave a space and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact then you’re letting that child know that their response matters,” she said.
Carson, who describes herself as a sexuality educator, speaker and author on her Twitter profile, works with Body Safety Australia. The organization works to prevent child abuse and educates children from kindergarten through high school age about consent and respecting boundaries.
“In empowering children with their rights’ while educating families and professionals, the burden of responsibility is placed squarely on adults to protect children,” the organization’s website states.
The segment was later discussed on Australian news channel Sky News, where Rowan Dean, editor of The Spectator Australia, magazine dubbed the suggestion “lefty lunacy.”
Following the interview, Carson hit back at critics on Facebook.
“Sadly, some people have chosen to ridicule me (oh no! Pink hair! Must be a lesbian!) and the notion of giving infants bodily autonomy (poo in nappies har har amiright?!) [sic],” she wrote.
Carson quoted statistics reflecting how common sexual abuse is among children, and said the work her organization does follows international best practice in abuse prevention.
“It teaches children their rights AND their responsibilities and connects them with people who care and can help. It invites their parents into the discussion and is sensitive to cultural and family values,” she said.
Katie Russell, a spokesperson for the non-profit sexual violence organization Rape Crisis England and Wales, told Newsweek that Carson’s overall message had been misunderstood. Carson didn’t appear to be suggesting that diaper-changing is a sexual act, or that a baby is capable of communicating their consent, said Russell.
“She’s simply making the very reasonable case for establishing a ‘culture of consent’ in households and with children from the youngest possible age,” she said. “This is about both getting parents and carers into positive habits of not assuming consent from their children and about teaching children that they have a right to decide what happens to their bodies.”
Russell added, “When we know child sexual abuse is so widespread, it’s hard to understand why simple, respectful practices like this, aimed at reducing and preventing future harm to children, would be so ridiculed.”

DNA test from Ancestry.com reveals fertility doctor used his own sperm in procedures, lawsuit alleges
A 36-year-old woman thought something went wrong with her Ancestry.com DNA results, when an unknown name was identified as her biological father. She later learned it was the name of her parents’ fertility doctor, who without consent allegedly used his own sperm to impregnate her mother.
Kelli Rowlette filed a lawsuit last week against Dr. Gerald Mortimer, his wife Linda McKinnon Mortimer, and the Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates of Idaho Falls.
In 1979, Rowlette’s parents Sally Ashby and Howard Fowler were having trouble conceiving and saw Mortimer at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates of Idaho Falls, where the doctor diagnosed Ashby with a tipped uterus and Fowler with a low sperm count and low sperm mobility, according to the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Idaho. Mortimer suggested a procedure where he said 85% of Fowler’s sperm would be mixed with donor sperm and inseminated to increase chances of conception. The couple agreed, saying the donor sperm must come from a college student who looks like Fowler.
Instead, the doctor, who did not match the donor specifications, used his own sperm for the inseminations — three per month in June, July and August of 1980, according to the lawsuit.
Rowlette was born May 20, 1981. The family later had to move to Washington state, and when Ashby told the doctor, he cried — knowing this was his biological daughter, the suit says.

Fast forward to July 2017: The parents never told Rowlette, now married and living in Benton County, Washington, she was conceived with the help of fertility treatments. Ancestry.com tells Rowlette her biological father is a man named Gerald Mortimer. It must be a mistake, she tells her mom — who takes a look at the name on her own time and is completely “devastated,” the lawsuit says. Ashby tells her now ex-husband Fowler the results, and they both sit on the news for several months, unsure whether or not to tell their daughter.
In October of 2017, Rowlette finds a copy of her birth certificate while cleaning out old papers at Fowler’s house, sees Mortimer’s signature as the doctor who delivered her, and discovers the truth, according to the lawsuit.
Now, the family is suing. Requests to reach Mortimer and the Idaho clinic in question were not immediately returned.
As for Ancestry’s help finding uncovering the truth, Eric Health, Ancestry.com’s Chief Privacy Officer, told USA TODAY the company’s tests help people “make new and powerful discoveries about their family history and identity” and might lead to “unexpected connections.”

Michael Rapaport is the Worst Kind of White Man
Mr. Rapaport is an obnoxious know it all racist. No wonder he was so good in some of my favorite spike Lee movies. He was playing himself .
The story of the scorpion and the frog is an ancient African proverb that explains the importance of knowing whom to trust.
In the story, a frog is preparing to cross a river when it is approached by a cool-ass scorpion. The scorpion asks the frog to give it a ride on its back to traverse the river (the story doesn’t explain how the scorpion learned how to speak frog language, so let’s just assume scorpions are required to take a semester of frogspeak in high school).
The frog is wary of his prospective passenger’s intentions, but the charismatic scorpion sincerely promises that he won’t sting the frog. The amphibian, convinced by the scorpion’s genuineness, finally relents and allows the scorpion to hitch a ride across the water. When they reach the opposite shore, true to its nature, the scorpion dismounts the frog and stings it to death.
“But you promised,” the frog says as he slowly dies. “I thought you were one of the good scorpions. Why did you do this?”……
