Complex magazine wrote an article about Katy’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s performance at Coachella.

Rose wrote in a comment: “Katy Perry sexual [sic] assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh*t what she thinks.”

Rose continued: “I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.”

In another post, Rose explained the shocking details.

“She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend’s lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.”

Rose added that she “changed” the story in the aftermath to “a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it.”

Afterward, Rose alleged that she kept the incident “a secret” because Katy agreed to help her get a U.S. visa.

“But I DID tell y’all she wasn’t a good person. Instead I got attacked by.. everyone,” Rose said.

Rose replied to one follower who praised her for being “strong enough” to call out an A-list celeb:

“Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”

In response to another fan, Rose said she’s “opening up about [women on women] violence and sexual abuse, seems to be 100 times harder than speaking about the male predators.”

Congressman Eric Swalwell dropped out of California’s governor’s race amid sex assault allegations by multiple women. The victims include current and former staffers.

The Democratic front-runner announced he suspended his campaign on Sunday night, days after saying he would not drop out of the race.

One former staffer said the Congressman from California behaved inappropriately with her and other young staffers. The ex-staffer said Swalwell raped her while she was heavily intoxicated. But the California House rep. denied the accusation.

Swalwell apologized to his wife Brittany Ann Watts, while saying the allegations are politically motivated to force him out of the race.

He ended his campaign after many Democrats withdrew their endorsements. According to reports, Swalwell was under “immense pressure” to suspend his gubernatorial campaign.

The San Francisco Chronicle was the first to report on the allegations from multiple women. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office launched an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct with women between 2019 and 2024.

The women claimed Swalwell sent unsolicited and explicit text messages while making unwanted sexual advances.

But Swalwell denied the allegations in a video.

Political media personality Cheyenne Hunt said more women are coming forward to tell their stories.

Staffers in Swalwell’s congressional office and governor’s campaign are “horrified” by the allegations. They called on Americans to “stand with” the victims.

Swalwell’s decision to drop out has thrown California’s gubernatorial race into chaos. There is a “last-minute” scramble to find his replacement.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office issued a statement, saying: “As we continue to learn more, these allegations from multiple sources are deeply troubling and must be taken seriously.”

Swalwell was previously accused of being in a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, Christine Fang.

One X.com user wrote: “Why is this worse than being chummy with Fan Fang, the Communist Chinese spy????”

Another user echoed Swalwell’s remark that someone wanted him out of the governor’s race.

“He slept with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang and endangered national security…and it was just fine for him to remain in the House of Representatives. They want him out of the governor’s race. Everything else is fiction.”

Jack Harlow stops by ‘SNL’s Weekend Update’ to promote Monica

Jack Harlow stops by ‘SNL’s Weekend Update’ to promote Monica

Rapper Jack Harlow (played by Ben Marshall) stopped by Saturday Night Live‘s Update Desk to chat with Michael Che about his new album, Monica (which some people say is a spin on the slang “my ni**a.”).

In the segment, “Jack” cracked jokes about his critics and Monica Lewinsky, his inspiration for the album’s title.

The segment ended up getting cut from the live show due to time constraints. But social media users praised Ben for his accurate Jack Harlow impersonation.

Monica is the fourth studio album released by Jack on March 13, 2026. The album is his first release in 3 years since Jackman.

Jack shifted from rap to R&B following his rap hits like “What’s Poppin'” (2020) and “First Class” (2023).

Monica received “mixed or average reviews” from music critics.

Pitchfork called Monica “ridiculous and transparent”, while rating the album a 3.1 out of 10.

“This album feels like the rarest kind of unintentional parody, so ridiculous and transparent in its intent that I really get a kick out of it. But the truth is that none of Monica’s parodic elements would matter that much if the music felt like a genuine experiment rather than a self-serving, big-budget attempt to deepen his [Harlow’s] image. At least there’s still one thing left in this world that can’t be bought.”

Social media users shaded the 28-year-old Louisville native (born Jackman Harlow) for abandoning his rap roots to pursue another black music genre.

During an appearance on The New York Times‘ Popcast, Jack said he “got blacker” with the shift to R&B music.

He said R&B music was “a safer landing spot” for white artists like himself.

“I love black music. I love the sound of black music, and of course I’m hyper aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found,” he said.

Jack portrays himself as an ally to the black community. However, R&B singer/songwriter Jozzy accused him of having culture vulture tendencies.

Jozzy said Jack asked her not to take writing credit for songs they collaborated on together in 2022. “We never worked after that,” she said at a Red Bull Sessions event in Atlanta, Ga., on April 2.

Miami Lifestyle Influencer Ashlee Jenae was found dead on April 5 in a luxury rented villa in Tanzania. She died days after her fiancé, Joe McCann, proposed to her.

Joe is founder of the cryptocurrency investment firm Asymmetric Financial. He is not under suspicion. Joe has not spoken publicly about the incident.

Authorities in Tanzania are investigating Ashlee’s death as a possible suicide by hanging.

But Ashlee’s family is demanding answers. They say Ashlee was happy and she would not have taken her own life on another continent.

In a statement on Sunday, family members said Ashlee (born Ashly Robinson) was celebrating her 31st birthday with her fiancé at the Zuri Zanzibar resort in Tanzania.

“But just days later, that dream turned into our family’s worst nightmare,” they wrote. “Ashly was found unconscious in her villa and was rushed to a local hospital, where her death was confirmed hours later.”

They continued, “At this time there is an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ashly’s suspicious passing. Although we have many questions, we are placing our trust in the officials in Zanzibar and are working closely with them as we seek clarity and answers.”

Ashlee’s death raises questions regarding her fiancé, who has come under heavy scrutiny on social media.

Ashlee posted a video on April 3 of Joe proposing to her on one knee during a safari. She posted photos of them posing with lions, zebras and giraffes during the safari. In one photo she is seen feeding a giraffe out of a bowl.

On the floor at her feet is a mat of red and white rose petals that spell out “HBD Ashlee.”

She captioned the post, “Chapter 31 and I’m exactly where I need to be.”

Social media activist Tariq Nasheed had little sympathy for Ashlee, whom he referred to as a “bed wench.”

He tweeted:

“A woman named Ashlee Jenae, who had a long history of Zaddy worshiping, went on vacation with her current Zaddy and ended up unalived under questionable circumstances. People in her comment section was giving her warnings months ago. This is very unfortunate… But…if you lay with lice you pay the price.”

Tariq posted examples of Ashlee degrading black men on social media. In one post, she wrote, “Every day black men wake up and find new ways to embarrass us.”

comment by Ashlee Jenae

Ashlee’s death is drawing comparisons to Shanquella Robinson’s death in Mexico in 2022. Robinson, 25, of Charlotte, traveled to San José del Cabo with six friends on Oct. 28, 2022.

Coco Gauff ended her social media hiatus to respond to critics of her natural hair in a Miu Miu ad campaign.

The 22-year-old tennis star deleted her social media accounts for a month. But she returned to respond to people who criticized her natural hair and makeup-free ad campaign for Miu Miu.

“I deleted TikTok and Twitter for a month, to come back on Twitter and see thousands of people talking about the way that I look like — and not in a positive way,” she wrote in an X.com post on Monday.

“There’s nothing really to address, but I just wanted to come on here and talk about it,” Coco said in a TikTok video.

Coco explained that her “social media person” took photos of her on a tennis court in her parents’ backyard. Coco said she was told that her natural hair was fine for the shoot.

She noted that Miu Miu uses models with minimal makeup or no makeup at all in their campaigns.

The tennis star became emotional when she described feeling depressed for 2 days after reading the negative comments.

“Y’all did knock a diva down. I’m not gonna lie,” she said in a video. “Two days I was feeling rough. I am someone who struggled with my looks throughout my life, just being a young black girl in this world. But y’all did knock a diva down.”

She continued: “I was down. Y’all did knock a diva down a few notches. But diva got up and I feel better than ever.”

Coco shared uplifting words for women who struggle with their looks. “There’s people who talk about Beyonce’s looks, Rihanna’s looks, Olandria’s looks. Um, Hailee Steinfeld’s looks. Like, those are some of the most beautiful people in the world. And there’s still people who talk about their looks.”

The responses on X.com were supportive of Coco.

@sherrijohnsontv wrote: “As a Black Woman, I have always told my girls whose grades of hair are different from mine, They are NOT their hair. Her excellence is not defined by her look. But her look is authentically hers.”

@erikaxtc wrote: “I hope you see that there are a lot of people who support and love you on here, too.”

@JennyEnya “There are so many people who believe in you, genuinely love and support you! Don’t care about the others who are toxic and hateful towards you! I know it’s not easy but give them non of your energy!”

Rapper Offset is still convinced that he fathered Cardi B’s youngest son, Baby Brim.

Cardi B welcomed her son with NFL free agent Stefon Diggs in November 2025.

A judge denied Offset’s request for a DNA test for Baby Brim, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The court filing, dated February 25, 2026, shows that Offset asked the judge to order paternity testing. However, the judge rejected the unusual DNA request, while approving a separate paternity-related request involving another child mentioned in the proceedings, TMZ reports.

The court order also included a non-disparagement clause, barring both Cardi B and Offset from making negative or defamatory statements about one another on social media and in interviews, TMZ reports.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs dated for over a year, but they broke up hours before the Super Bowl in February.

Stefon Diggs also has 7 other children by at least four baby mamas. He was waived by the New England Patriots after their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset in 2024 after nearly 7 years of marriage.

She accused the Migos rapper of cheating with multiple women. They share three children together and he has three more kids by other women.

Offset filed the DNA request before he was shot outside a Hollywood, Florida casino on Monday, April 6. He was released from the hospital earlier this week, TMZ reports.

Sean Combs’ attorneys appealed his 50-month prostitution conviction during a federal appeals court hearing in Manhattan on Thursday.

A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments from Combs’ attorneys who say 50 months is too harsh for procuring male escorts for personal enjoyment.

The lawyers argued that Combs’ “freak-offs” are protected under the 1st Amendment. They said that the law’s definition of “prostitution” should apply only when a paying customer has sex with the person being paid, CNN reported.

It was determined that Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura paid the male prostitutes for their services – not Combs. Yet Ventura is walking free.

At the conclusion of the appeals hearing on Thursday, Circuit Judge William J. Nardini called it an “exceptionally difficult case.”

Combs’ lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, said the sentence was the most prison time ever given to someone convicted of the same charges who did not have a prior criminal record.

But a federal prosecutor argued that the 4-year, 2-month prison term was below what federal sentencing guidelines called for.

Combs is currently serving time at the minimum security Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey.

The Bad Boy Records founder’s prison release date is April 15, 2028.

Taj Jackson (right), eldest son of the late Tito Jackson (left), issued a warning about what he believes is a coordinated sabotage of the upcoming “Michael” biopic.

The biopic is being criticized for its portrayal of Michael Jackson’s much-publicized legal battles. The musical, directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, documents Michael’s journey from Gary, Indiana as the 9-year-old lead singer of the Jackson 5, to become the King of Pop.

Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, criticized the film, as did her aunt Janet Jackson.

Some media outlets have expressed concerns regarding how the script handles allegations of child sexual abuse made against Michael.

Michael’s nephew Taj spoke out on X.com, asking fans to ignore the critics. Taj accuses the media of attempting to sabotage the film before its release.

Taj, 52, claims that there is a concerted effort to sway public opinion and sabotage the biopic’s success. According to Taj, media publications are spreading “BS stories and lies” about the film.

WENN.com

“Can’t help but notice that the negative press, trolls, and tabloids are desperately ramping up their BS stories and lies about my uncle to try and sabotage all the positive publicity the ‘Michael’ movie is getting around the world,” Taj tweeted on Tuesday, April 7. “Please don’t contribute to their failing agenda. Don’t help them or their algorithm by clicking or reposting their lies.”

The Michael biopic is scheduled for theatrical release on April 24, via Lionsgate in the United States and Universal Pictures internationally.

On Monday, Angel Reese was traded to the Atlanta Dream for a bag of chips 2 first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028.

Chicago Sky players reportedly celebrated Reese’s departure, according to Yahoo Sports.

“Sky players are thrilled that Reese is gone, making it pretty obvious she was viewed as a locker room cancer,” sports journalist Rusty Weiss wrote.

“Everyone with the Sky is very happy that she is gone.”

While Reese celebrated with a Victoria’s Secret photoshoot in New York City, Sky players were giving each other high-fives.

“There has been so much apprehension between the team and her, and everyone is happy that they don’t have to deal with her various controversies, whether she brings it on herself or otherwise,” an insider told Daily Mail.

“There is no love lost, and when Angel returns for a game with her new team, she will be the enemy, but everyone with the Sky is very happy that she is gone.”

The insider added, “They (teammates) were getting sick of her, and to make this trade was very much needed for the health of the organization moving forward.”

Reese rubbed her teammates the wrong way last year when she threw them under the bus in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

“I’m not settling for the same sh*t we did this year. We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me,” she said.

Following the backlash from teammates and fans, Reese faked a back injury and sat out the final 3 games of the season in 2025.

Time will tell whether Reese brings a winning attitude or her usual toxicity to the Atlanta Dream locker room.
