Sexual Assault

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Kristin Cavallari made headlines this past week when she revealed on a podcast that her blossoming May/December romance with TikTokker Mark Estes was over. Kristin explained that their age difference was the reason she ended things, but we are hearing that while the relationship might be over, the sex isn’t! Both Mark and Kristin gushed that their sexual chemistry was off the charts and now they are considering a “friends with benefits” arrangement. Kristin broke things up because she feared Mark still had some wild oats to sow, but they both claimed it was the best sex they ever had. I am hearing they’re still hooking up, but very much on the down low.

One of the biggest stories of the week was the Vice-Presidential debate, and although it seemed to be a draw, we did hear this interesting tidbit from our well placed political source. As civility reigned during the debate (since the uncouth Trump wasn’t there) once the mics were off and the debate ended, JD Vance and Tim Walz shared a few private moments. JD assured Tim that if he and Trump won the election, he would do everything to reign in Trump’s personality and offensive rhetoric. While Vance brown-noses Trump in public, in private we are hearing that he still considers him offensive and obnoxious.

A late breaking story this week was Garth Brooks getting sued by his former makeup artist – alleging rape and sexual assault. We just heard that his marriage to Trisha Yearwood has been more of a friendship than a romantic union for the past few years and they sleep in separate beds. My source says that Trisha is nonetheless livid over the lawsuit- especially since HER reputation as a happily married country star in now at stake.

Sean Diddy Combs was in the news gain this week for hiring more attorneys in hopes of getting granted bail. We just heard that if his appeal is denied, he’s going to come out as a BISEXUAL man so that he can be transferred to the gay section of the jail, which is considered FAR less dangerous. Even though he’s in protective custody, my source says that Sean would feel safer and have more privileges being housed with the gays.

The Menendez Brothers made the news for the Netflix series based on their life stories. (they’re the Beverly Hills brothers who were convicted of murdering their parents) We just heard that the LA District Attorney has agreed to review the case with new evidence and that Kim Kardashian has not only been working to help the brothers get a new trial, but she’s been secretly picking up some of the costs including filing fees. Since most of the attorneys are working on the case pro bono, Kim is PAYING for the things that aren’t free. She’s also hired a private investigator to get more proof that the brothers were molested by their dad.

And finally, Hacks star and recent Emmy winner Jean Smart was in the news for hosting the season opener of Saturday Night Live. Not only did she turn in a stellar performance, but we just heard that Jean gifted the SNL cast with mason jars of her famous homemade chili. My source says that Jean loves to cook, and chili is her specialty – she makes it in large batches and freezes it. Each cast member got a handwritten note from Jean along with a jar of the chili. Another reason to like her!

JERRY LEWIS SAID HIS BIGGEST FLAW WAS TEMPTATION

And so it begins…we were not at ALL surprised to learn that women in their 70’s and 80’s are now coming forward to accuse the late Jerry Lewis of sexual and other atrocities. It’s about time. He’s actually being compared to Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby. As a kid, we LOVED Jerry Lewis’s movies, but as a gossip columnist we had heard plenty of not-so-nice stories about this talented but egotistical and entitled monster who was the King of Paramount Pictures in the 60’s and could do no wrong. (Did you know he left NONE of his 50 million dollar fortune to his longtime ex-wife Patti and 6 sons?) The producers of Allen v Farrow interviewed several actresses with awful stories about Lewis and they shared the info with Vanity Fair. Hopefully now that the doors have opened – MORE women will have the courage to tell their stories about the REAL Jerry Lewis.

SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE CITY: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CHRIS NOTH?

If Chris Noth had not reluctantly agreed to appear in the SATC series And Just Like That, this sexual assault scandal probably would NEVER have come to light. Noth ONLY returned to the series because he liked the offer of a brief appearance and a spectacular ending for his character. The Peloton story turned out to be so hot that it brought back bad memories for two women, and they coincidentally brought their stories (over 10 years apart) to the Hollywood Reporter without knowing about each other. Both young vulnerable girls were enchanted by the popular mature actor who played Mr Big. As yet, the women have not filed charges with police or even mentioned lawsuits. They just wanted to tell their stories. Since Noth was married during the 2015 alleged assault, he must be in hot water with his wife. (and more women might come forward!)Just one episode into the series and And Just like That is getting an astonishing amount of publicity!

DID KIRK DOUGLAS ASSAULT NATALIE WOOD?

The Beverly Hills home where Kirk Douglas and his wife lived is up for sale and it includes a backyard Hollywood Walk of Fame with cement squares signed by Kirk’s celebrity friends. You can plainly see Frank Sinatra and Natalie Wood’s autographs in this photo. Coincidentally, Natalie’s younger sister Lana just wrote a book in which she charges Spartacus star Kirk Douglas with sexually assaulting Natalie during a meeting they had at the Chateau Marmont in the mid-fifties. Natalie was around 17 and Kirk was in his 30’s. Natalie and her mother decided not to press charges or tell anyone because it might ruin her career. If the assault story is true, were there more victims’ names on Kirk’s Walk of Fame? (No #MeToo in those days)

HAS PHYLICIA RASHAD LOST HER MIND?

Not sure what was more devastating this morning – the news that Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction was overturned and he’s already been released from prison, OR the fact that his TV wife Phylicia Rashad is HAPPY about it! Keep in mind, he was released due to a procedural issue and it had NOTHING to do with the facts of the crime. He is still GUILTY. Why Phylicia is celebrating this crime against women is a mystery – we always found her to be a sensible and intelligent woman. She believes the accusations were “a conspiracy against Cosby’s legacy” and declared today “ A terrible wrong is being righted!” What is RIGHT about the egotistical Bill Cosby NOT being punished for his crimes? It so happens we WITNESSED one of his attempted seductions and it happened just they way all those girls described…

T.I. AND TINY’S “FAMILY HUSTLE” – WAS IT DRUGGING AND RAPING?

We imagine Rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny (Clifford and Tameka Harris) have been walking on eggshells since January when a former friend in Atlanta accused TI on Instagram of putting a gun to her head. The accuser was immediately bombarded by numerous women claiming that the reality couple had used their fame and glamour to kidnap, intimidate, drug, and sexually assault them. The allegations keep piling up with more victims (some underage) coming forward with eerily similar lurid stories, and they are now being investigated by the LAPD. Despite their vehement denials, the couple’s VH-1 reality show has been put on hold, and TI has already lost roles in Ant-Man and Wasp movies. And that seems to be the LEAST of their problems…

T.I. AND TINY’S “FAMILY HUSTLE” IS NOT WHAT YOU THOUGHT

Don’t hold your breath waiting for T.I. and Tiny’s reality series The Family Hustle to come back because their situation is becoming more dire by the moment. The couple dismissed Sabrina Peterson’s charges that Tiny once held her at gunpoint, saying she was a pest who had been bothering them for years. Peterson also charged that T.I. and Tiny had drugged, assaulted, and abused numerous women, who started coming forward with their stories. Outraged at the claims, T.I and Tiny vehemently denied the “appalling allegations.” According to the New York Times and Vulture, dozens of new allegations are being investigated and they detail eerily similar events of sexual abuse, forced ingestion of drugs, threats, assault, and false imprisonment. Many victims are ready to file criminal charges. The worst is yet to come..

JOHN OLIVER FOUND THE ONLY UPSIDE TO THE KAVENAUGH DEBACLE

With American women in mass distress this weekend, John Oliver cheered us up Sunday with his logic. He quoted Donald Trump’s recent remark: “This is a very difficult time for young men in America.” Oliver retorted “Really? This seems like a WAY less scary time for young men in America, than for OLD MEN in America! Young men are getting useful information about what sexual assault IS – while grandpa is stuck with all these sexual assaults he ALREADY committed!” An excellent and encouraging point – Dr Ford’s valid assault charges may have failed to stop Kavenaugh’s devastating Supreme Court confirmation, but his public embarrassment might cause a lot of young men to rethink their behavior…

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO KELLY LEBROCK’S TELL-ALL BOOK?

A few years ago, Weird Science star Kelly LeBrock revealed that she was writing a book about her life and promised details about her toxic marriage to Steven Seagal, which ended when he got their nanny pregnant. (Kelly said she waited until her children were grown to talk about their father.) At that time he had already been accused of sexual improprieties (including rape) and since then, many more women have come forward with charges of sexual misconduct and assault. But the book never materialized! Was Kelly pressured by her creepy ex NOT to write it? Will we EVER know the truth?

CRISTIANO RONALDO : LATEST CASUALTY OF THE #ME TOO MOVEMENT

We are AMAZED at the courage of the woman who accused soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo of sexual assault, considering all the fanatical soccer fans he has around the world. A Las Vegas model (Kathryn Mayorga) claims Ronaldo assaulted and raped her in 2009 during a party at his hotel suite. She went to a hospital and reported the incident to Las Vegas police, who showed little interest in investigating or prosecuting the assault. Meanwhile Ronaldo sent private investigators to follow her around and dig up dirt on her to discredit her character, according to Kathryn. She claims they also had “friends” in the police department. Eventually she accepted a $375,000 settlement and signed an agreement never to speak of the attack or mention his name again. The “MeToo” movement gave her the courage to break the non-disclosure agreement and tell her story to German newspaper Der Spiegel. Ironically, Cristiano’s response was “Fake news!” – he sounds like someone we know…
