Hideous might be one word to describe Jeffree Star.
Rising to fame as a YouTube personality/make-up guru, the entertainer’s short-lived career now finds itself spinning into a social media shredder following racist remarks he made about black women.
Jumping to his defence when her fans bashed her for backing him? Kim Kardashian.
Ezekiel Elliott was horrified when he learned that the National Football League had decided to suspend him from a number of games after it claimed to have uncovered proof that he abused his ex-girlfriend.
Today, he has discovered that texts sent him to by said ex may prove that her tales were more fictional than factual…and steeped in racism.
Clarence Hill of the Star Telegram explains…
Elliott’s appeal game plan includes highlighting Thompson’s already chronicled text messages encouraging a friend to lie to police about an alleged domestic assault on July 22, misleading testimony to NFL lead investigator Lisa Friel, and repeated threats to ruin his career after breaking off the relationship, per documents obtained by the Star-Telegram.
Among the quoted threats:
▪ After being told Elliott didn’t want her at his house on July 21 and he didn’t want her coming out with him, Thompson responded with: “Ok this is what you want? Ok then, I’m going to ruin your life. You will see. If I was you, I wouldn’t go out tonight.”
▪ After being told she couldn’t come Elliott’s 21st birthday party, Thompson told him “that’s worst decision you made in your life. I’m going to ruin you life now.”
▪ The report also details a text message in which Thompson told Elliott: “You better be smart. And not be a dumb man. B—-, keep (messing) with the wrong, b—-.”
▪ After not being allowed into the after party, Thompson was heard yelling and screaming that “your career is over” and then proceeded to call the police.
▪ Elliott is also “100 percent certain” that Thompson told him on July 22, “You are a black male athlete. I’m a white girl. They are not going to believe you.”
Per the documents, Friel was unable to give an clear endorsement of Thompson’s credibility because she repeatedly misled investigators.
The above threats were made on July 21 and the early morning of July 22, the date Thompson called police accusing Elliott of assaulting her while they were in a parked vehicle.
Elliott denies that he beat her up and hopes the unearthing of her messages will aid him as he seeks to prove this to the world.

‘Basketball Wives’, VH1’s answer to ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ continues to face criticism following the end of another poorly-produced season.
Fans of the series will know that its ‘Miami’ arm was cancelled following the departure of its leading lady Evelyn Lozada forcing Shaunie O’Neal and Tami Roman to seek refuge over at the Jackie Christie-fronted ‘Basketball Wives Los Angeles.’
Alas, despite serving as the show’s lifeblood for years, Christie found herself on the receiving end of on-camera abuse by her co-stars who now seem to be using her horrific treatment of her oldest daughter to tarnish her image and eventually smudge her out of the picture.
How Jackie and social media feel about this?

Cardi B‘s ‘Bodak Yellow’ ain’t just helping her make money moves, but it’s assisting with some impressive chart moves too. That’s right, just as we reported last week, the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ starlet’s breakout single could very well be on its way to breaking records if the steam behind it continues at the rate it has.
We’ve already told you that once it hit #28 it made her the first artist from the VH1 franchise to have a solo top 30 hit (since its inception in 2011), but now – thanks to a lofty leap to #8 on this week’s refreshed Hot 100 – the song treads on new territory…
