Candace Owens regrets telling her followers to vote for Donald Trump for a second term in office.
In an interview with Piers Morgan on Tuesday, Owens slammed President Trump’s handling of the Israel, Iran conflict and his decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“This is not the candidate that I voted for,” Owens told Morgan on his YouTube show “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Owens noted that Trump’s advisors urged him to stay out of the conflict. “It’s all of the same rhetoric dating back to 9/11. All of the same tactic trying to smear people who are against this war as ‘jihadists,'” Owens told Morgan.
She argued that the conflict between Israel and Iran in the Middle East was “simply not our business.”

The war began when Israel launched missiles at military targets in Iran 2 weeks ago. Trump involved the U.S. in the conflict by dropping 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs on 3 nuclear sites in Iran.
Testing showed no increase in radiation levels in Iran and satellite photos of the sites showed very little damage to the underground nuclear facilities.
According to reports, the bombing set Iran’s nuclear program back by only several months.
“There was no imminent threat to the United States when Trump made this decision to do what Bibi wanted,” Owens said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “This was not Trump’s decision, it was Bibi Netanyahu’s decision. And that is the reason that he did it. We’re very aware that Israel is dictating our foreign policy, and we’d now like that to stop.”
Owens has joined the ranks of MAGA loyalists who are rethinking their support of Trump.
“He’s been a chronic disappointment,” she said. “And I feel embarrassed that I told people to go vote for him because this wasn’t going to happen and it is happening.”
Amina Buddafly says she lost her home in Los Angeles and she has relocated to Germany with her 2 daughters to start over. Amina is best known as a cast member on the reality TV series Love & Hip-Hop: New York.
In a TikTok video on Tuesday, Amina, 42, explained her decision to move back to Germany after losing her home.
“Day one of waking up in Germany after losing our home in LA,” she said, while lying in bed. “Me and my kids moved out of our place, put our stuff in storage or most of it in the trash… We don’t have a home, y’all.”
Amina explained that she and her kids moved to Hamburg, where she and her twin sister, Jazz, were born and raised.
Amina and the children are staying with family until she gets back on her feet. “Thank God for family,” she said. “We’re going to be here ’til I figure it out. Because I will, as I always do.”
After leaving LHHNY, Amina and her girls moved to Los Angeles for a fresh start. She was collecting child support checks from LHHNY alum Peter Gunz, but the checks stopped coming and the courts were no help because she’s not a U.S. citizen.

Amina and Peter share 2 daughters, Cori and Bronx.
She eventually returned to LHHNY in the specials Love & Hip Hop Awards: Most Certified and 40 Greatest Love & Hip Hop Moments: The Reboot.
Amina says she threw away 80% of her belongings to make the move back to Germany. Most of the items were memories she made with Peter. She was happy to part with those memories.
“I threw my whole life in the trash. 80 percent of what we owned, and I didn’t own anything valuable anyway to begin with… It feels very good to not have much, but have what’s important, which is love.”
She added: “I only want what’s valuable to me. Stay tuned for what’s next.”
Joy Reid is the latest high-profile Democrat to announce she’s leaving the party. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, Reid explained that she’s “barely hanging on” even though “I’ve been a Democrat since I was old enough to vote.”
“I’m not willing to cede the country to Trumpism and MAGA simply because I’m clinging to this party,” she said. “The party is not bigger than the future of my kids. You know what I mean? I have three children. I have a daughter and two sons that have to live in this country as Black people – and fascism don’t work for me.”
Reid said the Democrats are too “orderly” and they prioritize who’s up next while ignoring younger leaders like AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
“What the Democrats do wrong is that they prioritize whose turn it is,” she said. “Democrats are very orderly. They’re almost too orderly for fascism.”
Reid said she’s become fed up with the way the Democratic party operates.
She’s the most recent prominent Democrat to announce she’s leaving the party.

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced she was cutting ties with the Democratic Party earlier this month. Jean-Pierre is registering as an independent.
Reid didn’t find fault with Jean-Pierre’s surprising decision.
“People getting all mad at Karine Jean-Pierre for saying she’s” done with the party, Reid said Tuesday, “I’m not mad at that because at this point, who cares what the party label is? Give me an effective fighter. If Jasmine Crockett is the most effective fighter, give me Jasmine Crockett. And I really don’t care what you have to move around or who you have to disappoint in order to give me her. Just give me her because we need a leader.”
“You have to blow up the whole Democratic Party,” Reid continued. “I feel like the Democrats need a whole new ideology, because they lost to that. So what does it say about them? You got to just blow it all up. There’s nothing to be said from anybody in that old regime.”
The race to rescue Brazilian hiker Juliana Marins who fell into an active volcano has ended in tragedy. Juliana, 26, had been trapped inside Indonesia’s active Mount Rinjani volcano for four days after she fell off a cliff.
Juliana was hiking up Mount Rinjani volcano with five friends and a guide on Saturday at about 6:30 a.m. local time. A friend said the terrain was wet and slippery, and Juliana fell off “a cliff that surrounds the trail next to the volcano’s crater”.
Rescuers heard her screams and located her via drone footage. She was seen sitting on the side of the cliff inside the volcano. The overhanging cliff made it difficult for rescuers to reach her location.
Rescue teams attempted to reach her for several days but they were hampered by weather conditions including heavy fog. They got close enough to provide food and water to Juliana.
Juliana was described as exhausted and weak after her three-day ordeal inside the volcano. By Sunday morning, drone footage showed that she had moved. They were certain she had fallen further into the volcano.
Juliana’s family made an urgent plea on social media for help.
“A WHOLE DAY and they had advanced only 250m below, they were 350m away from Juliana, and they retreated. WE NEED HELP, WE NEED THE RESCUE TO REACH JULIANA URGENTLY!”
Indonesian authorities reported the tragic news that rescue teams found her body on Tuesday.
Juliana’s distraught family confirmed the news on social media. “With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive,” her family said. “We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.”
In total, 50 people were involved in the rescue operation.

Ye Ye is furious that Jay-Z altered the lyrics to remove him. The two rappers have been feuding for years. Ye Ye escalated the drama by alleging that Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, are special needs kids.
Beyoncé countered the negativity by bringing daughter Rumi on stage with her at every tour stop.

Patriots star Stefon Diggs re-posted Cardi’s teaser on his Instagram Story.
Cardi B’s album announcement follows the release of the album’s lead single, “Outside.”
Cardi performed a snippet of the single at Spotify Beach in Cannes, France on June 18.
The song’s lyrics take a dig at her estranged husband, rapper Offset.
When I tell you these niggas ain’t sh-t, please believe me
They gon’ f-ck on anything, these ni–as way too easy
Good for nothing low down dirty dogs, I’m convinced
Next time you see your mama, tell her how she raised a b-tch
[Chorus]

You was playin’ games, You on time out
Where them fine ni–as, I’m tryna find ni–as
I been cuffed up too long, Let me remind ni–as
“Outside” marks Cardi B’s first solo effort since “Puntería”, featuring Shakira in 2024.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly distanced themselves from media magnate Tyler Perry after a former employee sued him for workplace harassment.
Aspiring actor Derek Dixon sued Tyler for $260 million, alleging sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. The complaint, which was filed in California on June 13, accused the filmmaker of creating “a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic” environment while working on Tyler’s TV series “The Oval” and “Ruthless.”

Derek Dixon said when he resisted Tyler’s unwanted advances, Tyler threatened to kill off his character on “The Oval” at the end of the season.
The lawsuit included dozens of text messages exchanged between the two men over the years.
Highlights from Tyler Perry’s text messages to Derek Dixon:
1. “No Straight man would be going on walks with you or cooking dinner for you unless they wanted to f*** you. I would f*** you.”
2. “You home? I don’t want you out with your ‘friends’. Drinking.”
3. “You are the rose. But you are so blocked [sexually] that you refuse to be smelt or opened.”
4. “…when you finally are able to unlock your mind, you’re going to make that person crazy. Crazy in a good way.”
5. “Have you been intimate with someone?”
6. “Why did that photo [of Dixon and a male cast member] make me jealous. You two together.”
Tyler has not publicly responded to the accusations. But his lawyer called the allegations “false” and a “shakedown”.
Tyler, 55, is godfather to Harry and Meghan’s daughter, Princess Lilibet of Sussex. The filmmaker loaned Harry and Meghan his $18 million mansion in California after they stepped back from their royal duties in London and defected to the U.S. in 2020.
In June 2020, the couple bought a house in Montecito, California and moved out of Tyler’s home.

Tyler said he first got acquainted with Meghan, 43, after he sent her a letter before her 2018 royal wedding. Tyler told the former “Suits” actress he was praying for her amid the “hurtful” comments made by her father, former Hollywood lighting director Thomas Markle.
“I couldn’t even imagine this woman finding the man that she loved, the man of her dreams, and him being a prince, and then to walk into all of that madness and need the security of family and then have your father do some horrible things,” Tyler said. “When my life changed and success started to come, family members became different people, and I know how hurtful and horrible it can be,” he added.

Critics of the royal family lashed out at Meghan and Harry for maintaining their silence over Tyler’s sexual harassment scandal.
“Instead of offering their stalwart support as good friends would who even lived in his home, this silence is a clear demonstration of… a total lack of moral courage,” British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
“Their silence to avoid entanglement in a scandal, especially given their precarious standing in both Hollywood and royal circles, won’t look good in the long run,” Fordwich added.
MEGA/WENN
She said Harry and Meghan are in a “lose-lose situation” because keeping their distance from Tyler has backfired.
“Harry and Meghan are in a lose-lose situation. Keeping their distance has backfired either way. If Tyler Perry is exonerated, their lack of support will be seen as a betrayal, further damaging their credibility among friends and potential allies alike. If allegations against Tyler Perry are proven, distancing themselves to protect their brand will still appear opportunistic and ungrateful,” Fordwich said.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday after 12 days of fighting. However, Israel said Iran fired missiles into its airspace on Monday night.
Iran’s military denied launching missiles after the ceasefire started. President Trump warned Israel not to retaliate amid the ceasefire.
Shortly afterwards, Iran launched missiles at U.S. military bases in Qatar. But Qatar announced the missiles were intercepted. No injuries were reported.
Trump seemed annoyed that both countries violated his ceasefire.
“I think they both violated [the ceasefire]. I’m not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn’t bring people back,” Trump told reporters on his way to the NATO summit on Tuesday morning.
“And now I hear that Israel just went out because they felt [the deal] was violated by one rocket that didn’t land anywhere. That’s not what we want, I’ll tell you. And I’m telling you, I’m not happy about that, Israel, either.”
Trump has appointed himself the world’s peacekeeper. He has been on the phone with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to keep the peace.
“We have to have Israel calm down, because they went on a mission this morning. I gotta get Israel to calm down now,” Trump added.
The conflict began when Israel bombed nuclear and military sites inside Iran 2 weeks ago. Israel said it could not allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.
Trump involved the U.S. by bombing several nuclear sites inside Iran. Testing showed no increase in radiation levels in Iran.
During the conflict, the U.S. and other countries warned citizens of impending nuclear attacks from Iran. Georgia updated maps of radiation fallout shelters where residents can go in the event of a nuclear attack.
Tiffany Haddish sparked debates on social media when she said women with more than 2 baby daddies have a mental illness.
The standup comedienne made the controversial statements during an appearance on the “In Godfrey We Trust” podcast.
Tiffany, 45, said, “Women who have more than two baby daddies, usually have some sort of mental illness. Yeah cause you’re getting genetically modified to it.”
She continued: “Ok, so this what I know: every time you get pregnant, there’s stem cells that come from that baby… and them stem cells end up behind your eyes, your brain and your heart and your lungs, and stuff that help your organs heal by the baby taken from you [sic].”

Tiffany, who is childless, claims that after sexual intercourse, the “man is always in you. And that is why … the Bible says you will only desire your husband.”
She urged women to make men use condoms “because that baby batter get up inside you and the uterus is very porous – much like the mouth.”
Tiffany said the uterus “absorbs” semen which “goes into the vaginal walls and it gets into the bloodstream.” She claims that it takes six weeks after unprotected sex to clear the man’s stem cells out of a woman’s system.
Professor Haddish said that in those 6 weeks, the man’s stems cells start to “bind to your DNA.”

She said that’s why couples who are together longer start to look alike. “The guy doesn’t start looking like her – she start looking like him, because he is genetically modifying her,” she said.
Tiffany said women with more than 2 children are “struggling” not just financially, but mentally as well. And baby mamas can’t “focus” because they have too many “bloodlines” swimming inside them.
