Tiffany Haddish and social media influencers are catching heat for "bullying" a young female doctor who disputed their Covid-19 conspiracy theories.

According to multiple reports, the unidentified doctor was bullied on the app "Clubhouse" by the comedienne and social media influencers with over 1 million followers each, such as Jason Lee, Joe Budden, and Instagram activist Chaka Bars.

Clubhouse is an invitation-only audio-chat that allows users to create private rooms.

Haddish, Budden, and Chaka Bars reportedly harassed several Black doctors on January 13, and even doxxed the doctors by sharing their personal information online.

The doctors were disputing conspiracy theories being spread by Haddish and others. Among the conspiracy theories is the government invented Covid-19 and social distancing to make it easier for satellites to do facial recognition.

Hours before the doctor was admitted to a hospital for attempted suicide, her friends took to social media to call out the celebrities.

One user tweeted: "Hey @joinClubhouse – there is a room called 'CH Bullying' full of celebrities and conspiracy theorists who are plotting to dox several black doctors by sharing their social media accounts to several thousand people. Can you please step in? #CHBullying."

Another user wrote: "Chakabars, Tiffany Haddish, Jason Lee and other 'celebrities' are plotting in a clubhouse room to take down a young black woman doctor and they even said 'ruin her life'. They are sharing her details in a group chat. How is this allowed @joinClubhouse? #chbullying."

Haddish responded to the allegations on her Twitter account. The "Girls Trip" actress claimed she was exercising her freedom of speech about Covid-19. She wrote, "Now People on clubhouse saying I am bullying because I just told the truth."

Haddish defended her actions, saying, "There is a special place in Gods Kingdom for people that like to lie and make up stories on other people. Funny how some people can't handle the truth!"

Recently, Shawn Mendes expressed his frustration and anger about anti-heterosexual bullies in the LGBT+ community who insist he is same-sex oriented and he should just come on out of the closet.

The 22-year-old Canadian singer said he can't go online without being taunted by trolls who insist they know he's on the down low.

No one speaks up for heterosexuals like Shawn who are harassed daily for not being same-sex oriented.

His ordeal sparked a debate on social media about whether heterosexuals have the right to complain when members of the LGBT+ community have been harassed, assaulted and killed for being who they are.

Social media influencer Jay Versace, who is best know for his comedy skits on YouTube and Instagram, shared his views from a Black LGBT male perspective.

In a now-deleted tweet, Jay complained about straight Black men who "sit around all day" and "bully everyone else in the Black community."

Shawn Mendes is frustrated and angry over ongoing ghey bullying

Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com

Shawn Mendes is angry and frustrated with online bullies who insist he is ghey and he should just come on out of the closet.

The 22-year-old Canadian can't go online without being taunted by trolls who insist they know he's on the down low.

No one speaks up when heterosexuals like Shawn are harassed for not being ghey.

The "In My Blood" singer is not ghey but he struggles to find the right words to express his feelings without hurting his homosexual and bisexual friends.

"It's such a tricky thing," Shawn tells Dax Shepard on the latest episode of his Armchair Expert podcast. "You want to say, 'I'm not ghey but it'd be fine if I was ghey - but also there's nothing wrong with being ghey but I'm not'. You don't really know how to respond to the situation."

Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com

Shawn, who began dating singer Camila Cabello in 2019, says there have been times when he's responded to the ongoing ghey taunts and found himself in hot water with fans and bloggers, but he insists he must be allowed to make huge goofs and then apologize.

"I've realized that we just have to stop having to be experts and politicians about it, especially as a famous musician who's a guy," he adds.

"I need to be really f**king messy and say the wrong things and apologize and say the right thing after I apologize and be confused about how to respond when people say I'm ghey.

"Everyone's been calling me ghey since I was 15 years old. I'm not ghey and I'm like, 'What does that mean?' I had these problems with the way my voice sounded. I'm like, 'How do I sit?' I'm always first to cross my legs and sit with a position of this feminine style and I really suffered with that s**t."

Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com

"I think a lot of guys go through that and even worse than that there are just so many guys who are ghey and in the closet and must be hearing s**t like that and just being like, 'I'm terrified to come out'.

"I didn't grow up wrestling. I grew up getting my hair braided on New Year's Eve. It just completely depends on the way you grew up in your life and your surroundings."

Shawn first gained fame on the YouTube and Vine platforms. His self-titled debut EP hit number one on the iTunes charts 40 minutes after it was released in July 2014.

Cardi B Deactivates Twitter Account After Blasting Teen Trolls

WENN/Avalon

Cardi B has temporarily deactivated her Twitter account after blasting teenagers who criticized her for taking her cheating husband back.

Twitter allows users to temporarily deactivate their accounts for 30 days before the account is deleted permanently.

Before deactivating her account, Cardi, 28, threw a temper tantrum on Instagram Live, attacking teens who continue to ridicule her for reuniting with the Migos rapper a month after filing for divorce.

"A whole bunch of 15-year-olds telling me how to live my life like I'm mother f**king Ariana Grande or something. Like I came from Disney or something.

"I'm so tired of people saying I've got to continuously explain myself. I didn't put my divorce out there, a f**king court clerk put it out there, and because people are making rumors up, 'Oh, this guy has a girl pregnant', I have to address it."

WENN.com

Cardi also slammed fans for criticizing serial cheater, Offset: "Then you guys want to be harassing this n**ga. Bro, if I work things out, why are you going to this n**ga's Twitter to harass him? That don't make no f**king sense.

"Y'all want to call yourself fans, I don't give a f**k. I'm tired of it. I do whatever the f**k I want to do. I love my fans and I'm grateful and thankful for what you do but some of y'all really be acting like I be sleeping with y'all. Offset is not the only f**king problem that I deal with. To be honest with you, my marriage is one of the least worries that I have right now."

WENN/Avalon

The couple reconciled over Cardi's birthday weekend and were spotted kissing and hugging in a series of photographs. But fans weren't buying it. They accused Cardi and Offset of staging their "divorce" because both fell off during the coronavirus lockdown.

Days later, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper confirmed they were back together, stating: "One day I'm happy, the next day I wanna beat a n**ga up... Then it's like, I start missing. It's really hard not to talk to your best friend. It's really hard to have no d**k."

Twitter Permanently Bans Rapper Talib Kweli for Harassing Black Woman

Jemal Countess/WireImage

Rapper Talib Kweli was kicked off Twitter for "repeated violations" of the social media site's harassment rules.

A spox for the social media site told Jezebel magazine that they permanently banned the 44-year-old Brooklyn native for "repeated violations of the Twitter rules (such as) violence, harassment and other similar types of behavior (that) discourage people from expressing themselves".

The ban, which took effect in late July, comes amid allegations that he and his fans harassed a Twitter user named Maya A. Moody after she accused Black rappers of colorism.

After Moody tweeted, "What rapper married a black woman besides snoop? literally almost all [rappers] are married to light-skinned women but that's a conversation for another day," Kweli replied, "Nah let's have this convo today... I mean, is any of this really any of your business?"

J. Shearer/WireImage

Moody, 24, claims that for two weeks she was overwhelmed with harassing posts by the rapper and his fans on both Twitter and Instagram.

According to Moody, the posts included personal details, such as pictures of her parents, as well as threats of violence and sexual abuse.

Moody took screenshots of the harassment and was in "constant contact" with Twitter, but she complained that the social media platform took too long to take action. She said other users had "been suspended for way less than targeting someone and harassing them constantly for over two weeks straight".

Kweli, who has a reputation for being an internet troll, responded to the claims in an email to Jezebel, in which he stated: "I've never cyber-harassed anyone in my life. I responded, on Twitter, to the lies that Maya posted about me. When you respond to someone who posts lies about you, that is not harassment."

Johnny Nunez/WireImage

Kweli has been married to DJ EQ since 2009. He complained that Moody tagged his wife in her tweets.

The rapper is a well-respected veteran in the music industry for the past 20 years, and is best known for being one half of rap duo Black Star alongside Mos Def.

Surviving TS Madison: The Queens Court Drama Continues

Two years after a judge slapped a restraining order on drag queen TS Madison (left), he is still harassing and bullying blogger Michelle "ATLien" Brown (right) on social media.

In a video dated July 2, Michelle explains the drama that began after the breakup of the Queens Court YouTube series, when Madison assumed Michelle had something to do with breaking him and Khia up as a team.

ExclusiveAccess.net

Michelle, pictured with singer Trey Songz, writes:

"I've also been harassed, doxed and bullied by TS Madison's gang of supporters that he calls the "Maddie Mob" for reporting on the break up and the bullying continued even AFTER I sought a restraining order.

My only recourse over the years has been speaking up for myself as TS has gone on various platforms showing his disdain for women. He also appeared on Tasha K's podcast alongside Storm Monroe in a video titled, "Exclusive | T.S. Madison FINALLY CONFRONTS BEEFS with Khia, Gio, Michelle B. & more! Part 1" to continue the harassment against me.

Now the drama has started again. After I reported on the Lovely Ti, B. Simone drama, TS Madison went on his platform with a screen shot of my image bearing the likeness of Gary Coleman and proceeded to "drag" me for 2 hours. When does it end?"

Lizzo working out like a beast to lose weight after enduring bullying online

Photo may have been deleted

Instagram.com

Pop singer/rapper Lizzo shared a powerful TikTok video clip blasting all those who criticize her for her looks and her body size.

"Hey, so I've been working out consistently for the last 5 years and it may come as a surprise to some of y'all that I'm not working out to have your ideal body type," she says over videos that show her working out intensely.

"I'm working out to have my ideal body type and you know what type that is? None of your f**king business! Because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job, and I stay on my job," she said.

Lizzo went on to curse out each and every hater who don't look in the mirror before they criticize others.

"So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald's or workout or not workout, how about you look at your own f**king self and worry about your own goddamn body because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside, health is also what happens on the inside. And a lot of y'all need to do a f**king cleanse for your insides. Namaste, have a great day."

Lizzo has been mocked and teased relentlessly on social media for not having a slim, curvy body like other singers in her field.

The 32-year-old star admitted she's depressed and sometimes cries herself to sleep due to the excessive bullying. She has considered deleting her social media accounts, but the draw to social media is too powerful to let go.

In her hit song "Truth Hurts," Lizzo said "why food great 'til I gotta lose weight." The singer has ramped up her exercise and dieting routines - but not to appease others. To inspire others to eat healthy and workout so they can live long, healthy lives.

Steven Spielberg's adopted daughter, Mikaela Spielberg, addressed online bullying after announcing she aspires to be a sex worker.

Mikaela took to Instagram to explain why she chose a line of work that would empower her and embarrass her famous father.

The mixed race beauty said she refuses to let petty comments about her looks and hair get her down.

Mikaela, whose Instagram account is now private, wrote, "Everyone seems to be fixated on a couple of things [right now].

1. Wy I'm not concerned with protecting the concept of virtue
2. If I'm considered attractive
3. Why if I apparently have so much money am I making these personal choices.

Well for the first time in my life I'll be able to pay my own bills and secure my own freedom. I woke up this morning and felt empowered for the first time in my life... I'm going to spend my day taking excellent care of myself. No one wakes up perfect and with makeup on and that's the tea... I'm here for the girls and the sex workers with big noses and 4c textured har."

Jason Kidd’s son, TJ Kidd, speaks on fan throwing object at LeBron James’ son, Bronny James

LeBron James' son, LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., made headlines last week when a toddler threw a piece of candy at him during a high school basketball tournament in Massachusetts.

Bronny is a 15-year-old basketball player who attends Sierra Canyon, a private school in Los Angeles. There are reports that the toddler who threw the candy at Bronny was ejected from the gym.

Nearly 20 years ago, another toddler was the target of mean-spirited basketball fans who disliked his NBA All-star father.

Before social media came into existence, adults relentlessly mocked Trey Jason Kidd, aka TJ, in chat rooms and on message boards.

TJ is the son of L.A. Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd, 46, and his first wife, Joumana Kidd.

Adults made cruel comments about TJ while hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet. If anyone understands what Bronny James is going through now, it's TJ Kidd.

TJ, a 21-year-old college student, is a mature, well-adjusted young man who seems unaffected by the bullying that occurred when he was much younger than Bronny is now.
 

Heavy.com writer Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson caught up with TJ before the Lakers took on the Nets at the Barclays Center on Jan. 23.

Robinson asked TJ to share his experience growing up as the son of an NBA star.
 

Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson: What's your opinion on the kid throwing that object at Bronny?

TJ Kidd: Nobody should be throwing anything at anyone no matter the level of the game that's being played. I get that it was a little kid who threw something. I saw the video. I don't know the whole story and I don't know why the kid did it. But there's no place for it.
 

What's it like being an NBA player's son? Is there pressure?

TJ Kidd: Honestly it's very cool. You are afforded many great opportunities and you meet really amazing people. But there are misconceptions and downsides that come with it. There are haters. People that harass you on social media. There are people who have no clue with what pressure and expectations you have to deal with. But it's what builds your character. Dealing with adversity, pressure, sometimes anxiety. It helps make you better. At the end of the day, it's all noise. You learn how to deal with it at a young age and you learn how to be the best person you can be every single day. You don't always have that parent around, but you know they want the best for you. It's a whole lot of learning and teaching yourself things as you grow up. But you understand the circumstances of their work. You are beyond proud of your parent. You'll love and stick up for that parent until the end of the line because that's your parent and they represent you and your whole family. I consider myself extremely blessed to have my dad be my dad and my mom to be my mom. But, at the end of the day, it's about what you want to do. It's great to celebrate what that parent has accomplished. But, at the end of the day, you have to do you. It's not going to be easy, but the payout of your body of work to whatever it is you do, will be worthwhile.

Source: Lizzo’s Camp Pleaded with Twitter to Remove Posts After Users Asked Trump to Drop the Pop Star on Iran

Photo may have been deleted

According to a record label source, Lizzo's people pleaded with Twitter.com to remove memes and tweets asking President Trump to drop the obese pop star on Iran amid threats of retaliation for the killing of an Iranian general.

Lizzo's camp reported the posts to Twitter, saying they "fat-shamed" the pop superstar on the social media platform.

Some of the posts contained memes featuring a photo that showed Lizzo posing in the nude. The photos were superimposed on images of B2 bombers and fighter jets. One illustration depicted Lizzo as a whale.

There was also a video of the aftermath of a nuclear bomb explosion. The video was captioned: "When Trump drops Lizzo's fat ass in Iran."

Thousands of Twitter users retweeted the memes on Lizzo's timeline so she would see them.

Lizzo abruptly quit Twitter.com after complaining about the negativity of "trolls" on the platform.

"Yeah I can't do this Twitter s**t no more.. too many trolls," she tweeted on Sunday. "I'll be back when I feel like it."

Many speculated that she was forced off social media by bullies who constantly reminded her of her spat with Dr. Boyce Watkins.

The 31-year-old Detroit native was the target of Watkins, who said she is popular because there is an obesity epidemic in America.

But my source said the real reason Lizzo left Twitter was the plethora of humiliating posts about Iran.

The source described Lizzo as "depressed" and "humiliated" over the online harassment. He said Twitter staff told her the messages didn't violate Twitter's policies on abusive content.

You be the judge. Are the following posts abusive or considered bullying?
