Harriet Tubman, a fixture in and forerunner of the discussion on civil rights in American history, has seen her story told many times on the small screen.  However, July 23rd brought with it the trailer for ‘Harriet’ –  the grandest depiction of her iconic tale to date.

Starring British singer/actress Cynthia Erivo in the title role (with singers/actors Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monae, and Jennifer Nettles supporting), anticipation for the film was sent into overdrive upon the release of the teaser (which can be seen by clicking here).  But, before it marches into theaters November 1st, the movie’s already been greeted with controversy.

Danity Kane star Aubrey O’Day may be rocking headlines for her surprising statements about exes Donald Trump Jr. and Pauly D on the season 3 premiere of MTV’s ‘Ex on the Beach’ (July 16), but she’s also dropped jaws for slamming that very network for the poor ratings of its current shows and for not involving Danity Kane, Day 26, or Donnie Klang in the recently announced reboot of ‘Making the Band’ (click here to read).

Taking to our friends at ‘The Blast,’ O’Day didn’t mince words when quizzed on her feelings on the rap mogul.  Pinpointing him as the main reason the Platinum-selling group broke up in the first place (and went from a quintet to a trio), the 35-year-old asserted that including all five ladies on the reboot would give him the chance to right the wrong of their mistreatment from over a decade ago.

Shots fired! Hear her stinging words inside:

Kandi Burruss is disappointed in Phaedra Parks and would like the attorney to think long and hard about her actions.

‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ fans will remember that the former friends saw their once beautiful relationship end when Kandi accused Parks of fooling the public into believing that she was upset that her husband, Apollo Nida, was going to jail and claimed that she had been living in sin with a man nicknamed Mr. Chocolate.

Enraged, Parks and one of the show’s producers used Porsha Williams to spread a story which claimed Burruss engaged in date rape. Parks left the show shortly after.

Now Kandi is responding to remarks Phaedra made about her this month.
