Allegations against TI and Tiny prompt call to support Black sexual assault survivors
The scandal involving the rapper and former girl group member erupted over several weeks as women reportedly came forward to accuse the power couple of confiscating their cellphones and preventing from leaving as the Harrises sexual assaulted them, or other women, in forced drug binges.
It has prompted the activists to address the issue as showing how Black survivors are often sidelined and their stories ignored in the national MeToo reckoning in America over sexual assault.
“We know countless of you have come forward with credible accusations of horrific sexual abuse and violence at the hands of Black celebrities,” the activists and groups wrote in a public letter. “Like you, we are carrying the emotional weight of this news and know that we are reliving a collective trauma akin to the exposing of Cosby and R Kelly.”

Quentin Tarantino vowed as a kid never to share a ‘penny’ with his mom
The “Pulp Fiction” director reportedly wrote a script called, “Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit” when he was just 12.
Tarantino shared with Koppelman that he struggled academically in school, and that, “my mom always had a hard time about my scholastic non-ability.”
When Tarantino was in trouble for writing the screenplays in school, he recalled of his mom, “she was bitching at me… about that…. and then in the middle of her little tirade, she said, ‘Oh, and by the way, this little ‘writing career,’ with the finger quotes and everything. This little ‘writing career’ that you’re doing? That shit is over!'”

‘I Love Lucy’: Lucille Ball Said Her Mother Tied Her to a Dog Leash and Kept Her in the Backyard
In her book, Love, Lucy, Ball said her childhood was “challenging.” However, the actor also says her experiences likely contributed to her success later in life.
“People with happy childhoods never overdo; they don’t strive or exert themselves,” wrote Ball. “They’re moderate, pleasant, well liked, and good citizens. Society needs them. But the tremendous drive and dedication necessary to succeed in any field—not only show business—often seems to be rooted in a disturbed childhood.”
Ball goes on to say that she wasn’t “unloved or unwanted,” but she did move a lot. She also says she endured “death and cruel circumstances,” which resulted in her being separated from loved ones.
“My young mother was five months pregnant when my father fell ill,” wrote Ball. “To keep me under control she tied me to a dog leash, which she then hitched to the clothesline in our backyard.

Jessica Alba: I wasn’t allowed to look at the ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ cast
Another show, another no-eye-contact rule.
Jessica Alba revealed on “Hot Ones” that while appearing on “Beverly Hills, 90210” back in the ’90s, she was told she wasn’t allowed to look at the rest of the cast.
“I couldn’t even make eye contact with any of the cast members, which was really strange when you’re like trying to do a scene with them,” she told host Sean Evans.
Alba, 39, appeared in Season 8 of the hit series as Leanne, a pregnant teenager who walked into a clinic where Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) was working.

How Did Four Young Black Boys Become Hollywood Stars During the Height of Jim Crow?
As it turns out, Sunshine Sammy was a race man. Farina and Stymie too, and even Buckwheat for a minute or so.
This may be hard to fathom, considering the designation was generally applied, back around the '20s, to men who exemplified the most righteous and upstanding attributes of black people, and advocated for fair and dignified treatment. It’s also hard to fathom because, at the time, they were just young black boys.
But they were young black boys with starring roles in Hollywood, and among the most popular performers of their time. There weren’t very many blacks of any age getting any sort of featured screen time back then, at least not in roles that didn’t demean the race. Thus, these young people were heralded in the black press, and even by the NAACP, as some of the leading exemplars of blackness, well before any of them were old enough to drive.
Sunshine Sammy, Farina, Stymie and Buckwheat were the principal black characters throughout the 20-year run of the Our Gang film series. The black community treated them (respectively, Ernie Morrison, Allen Hoskins, Matthew Beard and Billie Thomas) like rock stars. But their lives were much more complicated than the movie roles ever let on. Their regard within the black community would be transformed decades later, as the Our Gang franchise lived on years after its heyday.
