Andrew Cuomo Asked Former Staffer to Play Strip Poker and Once Kissed Her, She Says
Lindsey Boylan, a former staffer to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, accused him of a pattern of sexual harassment in a Medium post on Wednesday, alleging that he made a series of “inappropriate gestures,” including repeated unwanted touching, asking her to play strip poker, and kissing her on the lips after a meeting.
Boylan said a former Cuomo staffer contacted her following her December tweets to say that she had been harassed by the governor as well.

Black and Female TV Directors See Gains but Not Latin and Asian American Women, DGA Finds
The Directors Guild of America’s latest breakdown of TV director employment shows major gains for women and for Black helmers overall but the numbers also spotlight the systemic lack of movement for Latinx and female directors of color.
Latinx female directors accounted for only a 2.4% share of all episodes in 2019-20, while Asian American women just a 2.1% share.

‘Outrage’ over makeup artist fired from Amy Poehler project in race row
The firing of a makeup artist from the buzzy new Amy Poehler project is causing eruptions in the TV world, we’re told.
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that the artist in question was canned from the “Untitled Tracy Oliver Project” — the new show from the “Girls Trip” creator dubbed the “Black Sex and the City” — for allegedly saying the N-word repeatedly in front of one of the show’s lead actresses, while singing along with a rap song. (We know both the name of the actress and the makeup artist, but we aren’t going to print them due to the sensitivity of the situation. The makeup artist is a veteran of many major TV shows and movies.)
Now Page Six is told that her peers are outraged that the artist was fired for using the word — especially, we’re told, because the makeup artist is biracial.

The new slang teens use to insult boys who are 'too nice' to girls
Shannon was used to her socially awkward son being bullied by other boys at the private school he attends in Atlanta.
But when she picked him up from school in mid-January and her eighth grader told her he was being called a "simp," Shannon, who's only using her first name to protect her son's identity, didn't know what to think.
"He's telling me this and I'm driving and I'm trying to make sense of it," she said. "I'd never heard the word."
"He told me, 'It basically means that I'm just being nice to girls because I like them,'" she said. "I was like, wait, my kid is being picked on for being nice to girls?"
Her son had told her he'd recently been put in the "friend zone" by one of the girls, who made it clear she wasn't interested in dating him. They had continued to be friendly.

Chicago’s Mayor Gave More Than $280 Million in COVID Relief Money to the Cops
During a global pandemic that’s forced millions of Americans into poverty and months of demands to “defund the police,” Chicago’s mayor handed over millions of dollars in federal COVID relief money to the city’s police department.
“At best, we would have used these dollars to keep our neighbors and businesses stable and healthy. We failed on both counts," said one local official.

Rihanna Wearing a Ganesh Necklace While Topless Is Cultural and Religious Appropriation at Its Peak
I've been a Rihanna stan for years. In fact, whenever there's news about the singer, my POPSUGAR colleagues ping me, because they know how much I love her. I felt like I was on cloud nine when I got to see her Savage x Fenty show live, which is what makes this next sentence even harder to say. I'm incredibly disappointed in Rihanna for her cultural and religious appropriation. In a recent Instagram post, she wears a necklace of Hindu god Ganesh while posing topless in a pair of silk lilac boxers. While the singer is clearly promoting her new Savage x Fenty line, which just got $115 million in funding, I'm baffled by what made her think it's OK to appropriate another culture.

Crazy Rumor: The Future Of Matt Reeves’ The Batman Allegedly In Jeopardy After Robert Pattinson Caught Having Sex On Batmobile
The future of The Batman and its potential sequels may now be in jeopardy, as a new rumor claims that Matt Reeves has refused to work with Robert Pattinson ever again after catching the actor having sex atop the film’s Batmobile prop.
“He literally told Pattinson, ‘You are the most entitled narcissistic actor I’ve ever worked with, you go back to work, we finish filming in March and then we are done. I don’t want to ever work with you after this film,’” wrote the supposed The Batman set worker. “He even said he refuses to do reshoots if they will be needed. I don’t know what they are gonna do but they try to keep this situation on leash before the media will make it official.”

Favreau & Pascal Caught In ‘Mandalorian’ Controversy
Over the past several months, opposing hashtags — #FireGinaCarano, #WeLoveCaraDune, and #IStandWithGinaCarano — all trended at various points in time. The former women’s MMA fighter frequently thanked her supporters and clapped back at her “haters” with various posts, including a Yoda meme and a Princess Bride quote.
The straw that broke the camel’s back in regard to Gina Carano was a Tweet that many deemed anti-Semitic. The Hollywood Reporter shared Lucasfilm’s official statement about firing the Star Wars actress:
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Almost immediately after news about Carano’s firing broke, social media users began noting that Pascal, too, has previously shared a post that compared modern day American culture to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Justin Timberlake Apologizes to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson: ‘I Failed’
In the wake of accusations of sexism and misogyny against Justin Timberlake regarding his treatment of former girlfriend Britney Spears, and the “wardrobe malfunction” with Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl in 2004, he has apologized to both women in an Instagram post.
“I’ve seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond,” he wrote. “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.

‘The last straw’: the US families ending love affair with grocery chain after Capitol riot
Wendy Mize’s family grew up on Publix, disciples to the giant supermarket chain’s empirical marketing slogan: “Where shopping is a pleasure”. As infants, her three daughters wore diapers bought from the Publix baby club. As children, they munched on free cookies from the bakery. There were even perks for the family’s pets, who are proud members of Publix Paws.
But now the decades-long love affair is over. After a member of Publix’s founding family donated $300,000 to the Donald Trump rally that preceded January’s deadly Capitol riots, Mize is pulling out of what she says has become “an abusive, dysfunctional relationship”, and joining others in a boycott of the Florida-based grocery chain that operates more than 1,200 stores across seven south-eastern states.

Sen. Graham says Kamala Harris could be impeached if GOP takes over the House
Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that Republicans could move to impeach Vice President Kamala Harris — arguing that former President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial over provoking the Capitol riot “opened Pandora’s Box.”
Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” a day after the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit the former president on a single charge of “incitement of insurrection,” the South Carolina Republican argued that the vice president’s support for a fund that bailed out protesters over the summer could leave her liable for the same punishment.
“And if you use this model, I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if the Republicans take over the House,” Graham said.
“Because she actually bailed out rioters and one of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody’s head open. So we’ve opened Pandora’s Box here and I’m sad for the country?”?
