The Washington Post reports the account was created four months ago and gained over 1 million followers before it was deleted. OnlyF— confirmed her page was deleted from its platform as well.

Followers commented how “beautiful” she was and they praised her patriotism and “America First” agenda.

In some of the photos, Jessica wore a tiny skirt and crop top that are not official Army-issue uniform.

While “Jessica Foster” fooled teenage males with raging hormones, service members were not so easily fooled.

One person wrote, “Those who are actually in the military know right off that no female soldier would’ve been allowed to be next to the president dressed the way she’s dressed. Especially with that T-shirt that exposes her midsection. Y’all so dumb.”

Another person wrote, “Why is her skirt so short? That should have been the first thing…”

A third person commented: “Or that she’s seen in both Army dress greens and Navy dress blues.”

Since Jessica’s account was deleted from Instagram, other accounts impersonating her have popped up.

Political observers wonder whether the White House had any knowledge of Jessica’s account. They say accounts like Jessica’s can be used to promote a political agenda.

“The danger of this is that we’re moving toward a society of the unreal,” Joan Donovan, an assistant professor at Boston University, told The Washington Post. “It’s one way to get political messaging across, and it’s effective.”

‘Beauty in Black’ Star Xavier Smalls Apologizes for Homophobic Comments

In December, Netflix announced that Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black” will be renewed for a final Season 3. But no date has been announced.

Some Beauty in Black fans assumed the delay was due to the controversy surrounding actor Xavier Smalls, who has made offensive and vile comments about the LGBTQ+ community.

Xavier, 28, has since apologized for his hateful comments on February 7, in which he referred to homosexuality as “an abomination”.

Xavier also made similar comments about the ghey community last year.

According to UK’s Attitude, Instagram user Paul Poulos recorded Xavier’s controversial comments in February.

“I screen recorded it live & yes the recording is legitimate,” Poulos wrote.

Xavier stated in a live podcast that God treats ghey people like all “sinners” and “unholy people.”

Xavier said God “loves all His children, whether you’re an atheist, whether you curse Him, whether you live in sin. Whether you’re drunk, smoke weed, whatever, He still loves you.”

He added, “But, He’ll send you to hell, because when you die, there’s only two places, right? And if you live in sin on this Earth, He’s so Holy, He’s so grand beyond our imagination, you can’t kick it with Him in Heaven. Not because He doesn’t love you, but because He’s so Holy, He can’t dwell with unholy people.”

When Paul asked whether LGBTQ+ people will be condemned, Xavier replied, “That goes for other sinners, scoffers, mockers, liars, all things that are an abomination. It’s not just the LGBT. If you’re drunk, if you’re an alcoholic, if you’re a murderer, these are all sins that God doesn’t tolerate.”

The backlash was swift. Bloggers and LGBTQ+ influencers dragged Xavier for days on X.com, TikTok, and Instagram.

One person wrote, “You mean the man that plays a male prostitute on TV?”

Another person wrote: “I love when people act like they know who’s going to hell and who’s going to heaven, as if they’re God and have all the answers.”

They tagged his boss, Tyler Perry, on social media. Tyler has been sued by men accusing him of sexual assault and harassment on the set.

In a statement posted on Instagram over the weekend, Xavier said “some very smart people” reached out to him and made him see the error in his words.

Xavier said he looked back on what he said with “different eyes”, and he’s taken time to listen to others’ perspectives. “I understand now how my approach may have lacked the love, humility, and awareness that I believe God calls us to have,” he wrote.

He added, “They corrected me in love. They did not condemn me, but instead helped me gain greater insight and understanding.”

He acknowledged that “the damage done by my words outweighs the intent behind them.”

Xavier said he has a better understanding of the impact his words may have on young people and gay teens who are considering suicide.

“Hearing these stories helped me see more clearly why words can carry so much weight,” he explained.

21 Savage’s fans believe his estranged wife, Keyanna Joseph, is fine with his girlfriend Latto’s pregnancy.

Latto announced her pregnancy and new album, BIG MAMA, in a post on Instagram on Thursday. She shared the cover art for her upcoming album, which shows her holding a cheetah cub while displaying her baby bump.

Keyanna “liked” Latto’s post on Instagram. Now 21 Savage’s fans believe she is fine with Latto’s pregnancy.

21 Savage was born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph in London, England. He moved to America with a temporary visa. The visa expired and he didn’t go back to London to get his affairs in order.

21 Savage was arrested in 2019 by immigration officers and detained in jail while awaiting a deportation hearing.

“His whole public persona is false. He actually came to the U.S. from the U.K. as a teen and overstayed his visa,” an ICE official said of the rapper in 2019.

21 Savage was eventually released from jail after Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson sent a letter to the immigration judge on his behalf.

The rapper married Keyanna in 2020, allegedly to stay in the country. They had at least one child together. It’s the oldest game in the book: marry an American citizen to obtain a green card.

21 Savage previously dated Amber Rose while still married to Keyanna. It seems he and Keyanna have some sort of an arrangement because they are been seen in public together.

Keyanna filed for divorce in 2023 after she learned about Latto.

Was Latto the final straw that broke the camel’s back?

Taylor, 31, pleaded guilty to the aggravated assault in August 2023, while the other charges were dismissed.

Taylor and Dakota broke up in 2024, a few months after they welcomed their son named Ever True.

TMZ published the shocking video from the 2023 domestic violence incident on Thursday, March 19. The video went viral and execs at Disney and ABC saw it for the first time.

A source connected to “The Bachelorette” tells TMZ that no one at ABC had seen the video before TMZ posted it Thursday morning.

A Disney Entertainment spokesperson tells TMZ, “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”

Taylor (3rd from right) is best known as a cast member on the reality TV series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

She was previously married to Tate Paul. They welcomed two children, a son and a daughter, before they divorced in 2022.

“Mormon Wives” has also paused production in light of the scandal.

Taylor was picked to be The Bachelorette after breaking up with Dakota. She was the first Bachelorette who did not previously appear on “The Bachelor.”

Her season of “The Bachelorette” was set to premiere on Sunday, March 22, on ABC, but it is now cancelled.

Taylor has over 6 million followers on her #MomTok page on TikTok, where she posts original content of her Mormon swinger friends in Utah.

During a September 2024 appearance on Nick Viall’s podcast, Taylor cleared up rumors that she cheated on then-husband Tate Paul with her best friend’s husband.

The single mom described her “soft-swinging” sessions with married Mormon friends.

“We do this for a while with this couple, cabin parties, making out in the same bed, intercourse in the same bed next to each other, the girls kissing and the husbands touching the other’s wife,” Taylor said. She added that as things progressed, “you could kind of see people are creating feelings at this point. People are getting jealous and weird.”

During her appearance on Nick’s podcast, Taylor said her three children are her “top priority”. “All I want is them to be happy.”

A Tennessee judge dismissed Fawn Weaver’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

On March 17, Uncle Nearest CEO Fawn Weaver announced she filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to protect Uncle Nearest whiskey distillery from creditors.

But a judge dismissed her bankruptcy filing this week because Uncle Nearest is in a court-appointed receivership.

Tennessee attorney Phillip G. Young Jr. was named as the court-appointed receiver for Uncle Nearest in August 2025.

Young filed a motion to dismiss Weaver’s bankruptcy because she isn’t authorized to file on behalf of Uncle Nearest.

A judge placed Uncle Nearest in receivership in 2025 after Fawn and her husband, Keith, defaulted on $108 million in loans.

In a video on her Instagram account on March 17, Fawn Weaver announced the end of the court-appointed receivership over Uncle Nearest.

“The receivership of Uncle Nearest is done,” Weaver said. “If you’ve been reading the headlines lately, you probably thought that wasn’t possible, but rest assured it always was, and it is. I’m so grateful to God for our leadership team who kept their heads down and kept working.”

The court-appointed receiver attempted to sell the Weavers’ property in Martha’s Vineyard, but a federal judge stopped the sale until appraisals, notice, and a hearing are completed, the Moore County Observer reports.

Fawn Weaver filed a lawsuit against Farm Credit Mid-America, a Kentucky-based bank that loaned her $108 million.

She accused the lender of running a “smear campaign” against her and making false accusations that impacts her credibility.

“More than 10 attorneys across New York, Atlanta, and New Orleans have spent the last seven months reviewing this evidence together, and to say that they are ready to litigate this case is an understatement,” Weaver said in the video.

The bank said the Weavers didn’t file tax returns for Uncle Nearest in 5 years. The bank also uncovered a $20 million loan to the Weavers from rapper Jay-Z’s MarcyPen venture capital fund.

Farm Credit Mid-America accused the Weavers of trying to hide the $20 million loan from Jay-Z.

The AI images show Marlo and Tyler passionately kissing while he lifts her up off the floor. Marlo looks about 2 decades younger than her 50 years.

Prince Williams/WireImage

The original photo of Tyler and Marlo was snapped by celebrity photographer Prince Williams at the Sea Salt SoulFull Sunday Gospel Brunch in Atlanta, Georgia on March 15.

Tyler, 56, broke up with his baby mama Gelila Bekele, 39, in 2020. They share 11-year-old son, Aman.

Marlo, who grew up in the foster care system in Florida, was known to date rich, older men in exchange for rent money and trinkets in Atlanta. CNN founder Ted Turner was allegedly one of her wealthy gentleman callers.

Marlo was never married and she has no children. But she does have legal custody of two nephews.

First cousins can marry in Florida after bill fails to pass

Florida lawmakers voted no on a bill to ban marriage between first cousins. The state legislature failed to pass the bill that would outlaw incestuous marriages, including marriage between first cousins.

State Rep. Dean Black, a Republican who authored the bill, said the legislature will likely vote on it again in future sessions.

The bill, filed in December, banned men and women in Florida from marrying blood relatives. A man “may not marry any woman to whom he is related by lineal consanguinity, nor his sister, nor his aunt, nor his niece,” the bill read.

The bill also stated a woman “may not marry any man to whom she is related by lineal consanguinity, nor her brother, nor her uncle, nor her nephew.”

“There was a time when I think first cousin marriages were allowed because population densities were not great, and you know it was hard to find a mate back when Florida was a wilderness,” Rep. Black told Action News Jax in Jacksonville.

He added, “There are plenty of people here, and there are plenty of people you can find to be your lifelong partner without looking to your first cousin.”

But some lawmakers believed the bill was too restrictive, since some cultures allow marriage between relatives.

The legislature voted no on the bill during the March 13 session.

“I think it should come back,” Black told Action News Jax, “whether it’s a standalone bill, whether it’s tagged onto some other bill. Not really sure. We’ll have to see.”

Florida is among 17 U.S. states where first cousins are allowed to marry.

Marrying first cousins is also legal in the UK, Canada and most Muslim countries.

Rapper Latto shared the cover art for her upcoming album, BIG MAMA, on Instagram. The altered image shows her holding a cheetah cub while displaying a baby bump that may or may not be real.

Fans wondered out loud if the photo is AI.

She captioned the photo:

“BIG MAMA (the album) 5/29

Business & Personal (Intro) song & video out now

Thank you God.”

In a follow-up video snippet from a music video, a man’s tattooed hand caresses her pregnant belly.

Fans wondered if the hand belongs to married rapper 21 Savage.

Another video shows Latto bottle feeding a cheetah cub that’s clearly AI.

One follower wrote in the comments: “Big Mama I love you and I’m here for it. Congratulations.. That’s how you mind the business that pays you…”

Another fan wrote: “I need to be at the baby shower.”

A third fan commented: “look like I’m finna be a step dad.”

Latto and 21 Savage went Instagram official in September 2025 – two years after his long-suffering wife filed for divorce.

That same month, Latto joked that she and 21 Savage were man and wife. The “Brokey” rapper told TMZ she was on her way “to go have this dinner with my husband” in New York City.

Marriage is important to 21 Savage because he is still on ICE’s deportation list after emigrating from London to the United states as a child.

It’s the oldest game in the book: marry an American citizen to obtain a green card.

Even better, impregnate an American citizen so your baby will be American.

Latto has no shame in her game. She secretly dated the married rapper for years. Latto repeatedly denied rumors that they were lovers.

Fans noted she tattooed his name behind her ear, and they were seen together on vacation.

In February 2023, the “Big Energy” rapper told Hot 107.9 that her man pays all of her bills.

“I got the ‘Vette, I got the Lambs, I got the Birkins,” Latto bragged. “I don’t pay no bills. If he comin’ like that, then, yeah.”

She reiterated: “I don’t pay no bills! That’s how it’s supposed to be.”

In 2022, Latto clapped back at social media users who said she was getting the “bare minimum” from an unavailable man.

“What’s bare minimum?” she asked.

“Real Housewives” stars NeNe Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Erika Jayne and Melissa Gorga attended the “Housewives on the Hill” for HIV prevention on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Tristan Schukraft, CEO of MISTR, flew NeNe, Phaedra, Melissa and Erika to Capitol Hill to attend the “Housewives on the Hill” for HIV Prevention panel presented by MISTR in Washington, DC. on Wednesday.

MISTA provides free PrEP pills online for those who qualify.

The ladies spoke with lawmakers about promoting pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention (PrEP) among Black women.

Approximately 83% of new HIV cases are among Black women in the U.S.

NeNe said she wants to use her platform to ask questions about HIV and PrEP.

“Going back to Housewives, like, I’m the perfect person to ask all of the questions — I will ask them anyway. Literally, I ask them anything,” NeNe said. “We usually all bust out laughing, but I need to understand, I need to know.”

Phaedra, from Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” said that speaking about HIV today is more important than ever. “Originally, when [HIV] came out, it was so stigmatized. People were so fearful,” she said. “We know people that have died from it, but we know people who have survived and they’re living very normal lives.”

Actress Sheryl Lee Ralph has helped to raise funds and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS for more than 40 years.

She worked the room at Elton John’s Oscar viewing party, educating women about PrEP which reduces the risk of HIV infection.

Sheryl noted that HIV rates among Black women are increasing across the South.

“It is spreading. We are still seeing upticks across the South, especially in women of color, and it is something that needs to be paid attention to,” Sheryl added. “And also, I think about the fact that as we spread awareness, so many women have no idea that PrEP is also for them. It’s not just for men. So there’s so many reasons to be here at the Elton John event as we continue to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.”

Critics argue that promoting PrEP to Black women takes the responsibility off of men to inform their partners of their HIV status.

Black men have the highest rates of HIV in the United States.
