Halle Berry heads back to court after Gabe Aubry’s racial assault on nanny
Scroll down for updates…
Gabe Aubry has serious issues. This, according to Halle Berry, who is taking the Canadian underwear model back to court for losing his cool and assaulting her nanny.
Radaronline.com reports that Aubry hurled racial epithets and physically assaulted their daughter Nahla’s nanny last week. It seems that Aubry kept Nahla home from school for 2 days because he claimed she the 3-year-old was sick. But Aubry neglected to tell Nahla’s nanny, who went to the child’s private school looking for her.
“The nanny went to pick Nahla up at school and she wasn’t there, so she went to Gabriel’s home,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “Gabriel and the nanny got into an argument because no one alerted her that Nahla didn’t go to school.”
The source told RadarOnline.com Aubry allegedly called the nanny a racial slur, before things took a turn for the physical.
“She picked up Nahla to leave and Gabriel yelled at her and shoved her out the door so hard that she hit the wall — while she had Nahla in her arms!” the source alleges, adding that the nanny claims the abuse is ongoing.
According to Radaronline.com, the nanny is so distraught that she has turned in her resignation. Good for Halle for standing up for her people!
According to TMZ, the police report has been filed. Click image to read the report.
Education Leaders: Teachers Should Not Be Fired Over Slavery Beatings Math Lesson
The unorthodox teaching methods of teachers at a Norcross elementary school have caused a national uproar. The teachers gave 3rd grade students at Beaver Ridge Elementary a math lesson featuring slavery questions such as figuring out how many beatings a slave would get if he was whipped twice a day for 2 weeks.
Over 100 students were sent home with the math lesson, which featured about 20 questions on slavery. Some parents reacted with fury, accusing the teachers of blatant racism. But education leaders dismiss the allegations of racism.
According to the AJC, Calvine Rollins, president of the Georgia Association of Educators said “the slave math lesson created by a teacher to reinforce a lesson on Frederick Douglass may have used poor judgment, but it shouldn’t lead to the termination of those who wrote or handed it out without reviewing it.”
“This is an unfortunate incident,” Rollins said. “I don’t believe the teacher wanted to expose those kids to anything offensive. Gwinnett County teachers are dedicated. They work hard and try on a daily basis to do the right thing.”
Magazine to Rihanna: ‘We thought you people liked being called the N-word’
A Dutch magazine is catching heat for publishing an article calling Rihanna a “nigga bitch” — words the troubled singer has used to refer to herself in the past.
The Parlourmagazine.com article also stated that Rihanna was from Jamaica — an insult of the highest order to Barbadians who think they’re above Jamaicans.
Rihanna’s fans inundated the magazine’s office with emails, phone calls and online messages expressing their outrage. Rihanna, who was alerted to the magazine’s content by her Twitter followers, reacted with a series of angry tweets on her Twitter.com page.
“I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print!” she wrote on Twitter.
“There are 1000′s of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together, with the intent of abasement, that made no sense … ‘N—a Bitch’?!….Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you … F— YOU!!!” Source
The magazine’s embarrassed editor took to Facebook to apologize profusely to the singer and her fans. Editor-in-chief, Eva Hoeke, wrote: “First: thanks for all your responses. We are of course very fed up over this and especially very shocked. However I’m glad that we’re engaging in a dialogue on this page — not everybody does that. Thanks for this. Other than that I can be brief about this: this should have never happened. Period.”
Hoeke also implied that the racist insults toward Rihanna were meant as a joke, especially since Rihanna, and blacks in general, use the most degrading terms when referring to ourselves.
ESPN Yanks Hank Williams Jr. song after he compares Obama to Hitler (Video)
Since being elected president, Barack Obama’s policies have been compared to those of crazed German dictator Adolf Hitler by quite a few conservative radio talk show hosts. But when country singer Hank Williams Jr. compared Obama to Hitler on Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends” show Monday morning, he was promptly fired for his impetuosity.
ESPN made it clear that Williams was never a full-time employee of the sports network. But they acknowledged that “he is closely linked” to the company for 20 years through Monday Night Football’s catchy opening song, “Are you ready for some football?”
ESPN, in a statement, said:
“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”
Vogue magazine under fire for article on ‘slave earrings’
Vogue Italia has come under fire for a controversial article covering “slave earrings” as fashion accessories.
The fashion magazine’s Italian version features a controversial article titled “Slave earrings Hoop earrings: a classic always in evolution.” The article reads:
Jewelry has always flirted with circular shapes, especially for use in making earrings. The most classic models are the slave and creole styles in gold hoops.
If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of colour who were brought to the southern United States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom. Source
Furious readers have taken to social networking websites to voice their displeasure about the article’s wording which is surely designed to bait and inflame its African readers.
This latest furor about insensitivity in marketing comes on the heels of a disastrous marketing campaign by body care giant Nivea which featured a black man in a magazine ad accompanied with the text “Re-civilize yourself.”
But unlike Nivea, which later apologized for its insensitivity, Vogue has yet to release a statement.
Miley Cyrus Mocking Rappers?
Pop singer Miley Cyrus recently re-joined Twitter.com after famously deleting her account last year. Earlier today, she tweeted this pic of herself mocking Gucci Mane’s jewel encrusted grill.
Anyone who thinks Cyrus is admiring Gucci’s grill should remind themselves that this is the same chick who mocked Asian people by pulling her eyes back in photos published by TMZ.com in 2009. The 18-year-old Disney star denied making racial slurs against Asians.
Celebs Out & About: Beyonce, Paris Hilton
At one time Beyonce Knowles was the reigning queen of Pop — until she stumbled and was forced to give up her crown to Rihanna. Apparently she has never fully recovered from that public humiliation. Slowly, the paparazzi who once famously stalked Bey, stopped showing up at her appearances. Now I’m told that Bey’s people frequently call the wire services with Bey’s schedule, but to no avail. The paparazzi just aren’t interested in her any more. These pictures surfaced online over the weekend. They show a pale Beyonce with no makeup walking to her waiting limo with her loyal bodyguard, Julius. These new pictures have ignited old rumors that Beyonce is ill. I hope she’s okay.
Socialite Paris Hilton, 30, posed with a black baby at the Starlight Children’s Foundation 2011 “A Stellar Night” Gala in Century City, CA over the weekend. Hilton is still reeling from accusations of racism after shocking quotes attributed to her from an upcoming book surfaced online last week.
According to the LA Times, a book entitled “Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead: Journeys Into Fame and Madness” by Neil Strauss contains an encounter he had with the party loving heiress in 1999. Supposedly, Hilton met a biracial guy at another party the previous evening.
Hilton pointed the guy out to Strauss and said, “We were making out, but then we went somewhere where it was bright and I saw that he was black and made an excuse and left. I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross.” When Strauss asked Hilton, “How black does a guy have to be?” she allegedly responded, “One percent is enough for me.”
