Gabrielle Union Nude Pics Leaked? Newlywed Alleged To Be Among Victims of Hacking Scandal

Posted in: , ,

Actress Gabrielle Union, who just got married to NBA star Dwyane Wade last month, was named among those that would have their nude photos leaked last month [here]. And the hackers seems to have made good on their threat as her nudes appear among the latest leaks Saturday.

According to reports, her photos appeared on The Fappening report and were then spread via Twitter and other social media sites, and it is unclear at this point if the photos are actually of her.

Gabrielle Union has yet to comment on the matter.

Earlier today, Kim K was trending on Twitter after her nude pics were released [see here]. The same for Jenniefer Lawrence and Kate Upton once again, click.

Jennifer Lawrence, Katy Perry, Victoria Justice, More Alleged Nude Photos Leaked Again

Posted in: , ,

Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton have once again fallen prey to hackers as new alleged nude photos of the two stars have turned up on the internet.

The alleged images first appeared on a 4chan thread and Reddit on Sept. 20, and it didn’t take long for the alleged photos to circulate on social media and other sites. The alleged photos were quickly removed from 4chan and Reddit.

At first, I thought it was only Kim Kardashian, see post here, but now it is clear that in addition to her, Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, even more celebs like Aubrey Plaza, Vaness Hudgens, Hayden Panettiere, Victoria Justice, Jennifer Lopez, and Leelee Sobieski, are included in the victims of the hacking scandal this time around.

Full Transcript of TB Joshua Offering 50K Each to Reporters - A Clear Case Of Bribery

Posted in: , , ,

I've been getting a lot of pushback from my blog readers on FB after my blog post [here] about TB Joshua giving blood money to reporters to influence their reports of a building that collapsed in his chrch premises.

To be clear, I listened to the audio and was appalled that instead of making a statement on the collapse, or sending sympathies to those that lost loved ones, TB Joshua badgered the journalists with the promise of money until they accepted his own accounts. A former journalist wrote to me;

Myne,really he did not offer them bribe at all. Back home as a reporter, each time we attend a press briefing,we get a brown envelope with money inside for lunch or for gas. He is not doing anything others have not done. Journalist back home counts on such goodwill each time they attend any press briefing. No one influences how a journalist writes a report,its totally up to the journalist to present a report the best way that tells the accuracy of a story.

My response is this - that it's done does not make it right. TB Joshua specifically told the reporters where to focus and what to leave out. And let's be clear that this is not an ordinary press briefing for a product launch or brand activation. We are talking about a catastrophe in which more than 80 people died! In the end, all TB Joshua could ask was, "so what will you write?"

For those who were not able to listen to the audio, please read the full transcript that Emeh Achanga has transcribed and then let's start having honest conversations.

Kim K Nudes Trending After Pics Leaked On Twitter

Posted in: , , ,

Kim K was named in the massive celebrity nude photos leak at the start of the month [see list] but I said back then that she could be less concerned as she posed totally nude for GQ Magazine.

The same hackers or a new set seem not to be fazed by that fact and have gone ahead to release the nude photos of Kim Kardashian West on Twitter today.

Though the photos are trending, many twitter users seem not to care so much one way or another about the nude pictures with comments along the line that they've seen it all before.

Be that as it may, one cannot escape the invasion of privacy involved in how these Kim K nude pictures came online in the first place. Kaley Cuoco spoke out about it HERE.

Audio Proof - TB Joshua Offers Blood Money To Reporters With Bribe of N50,000 Each

Posted in: , ,

There is an audio recording by investigative reporter Nicholas Ibekwe who was among the reporters sent to cover the synagogue church building that collapsed last week. According to him, and as heard on the audio, TB Joshua coaches the reporters on how to frame the news story after he had told them they would each be getting N50,000.

Nicholas Ibekwe says he was the only journalist who turned down the bribe while all the others in the meeting took the money. So you can imagine that most of the news reports you have read/ heard/ watched about the incident has been tainted by blood money, and spun to suit the tastes of TB Joshua.

Read my commentary on TB Joshua and his official statement on the collapsed church building, here.

That Nigerian journalists collect "transport money" or "brown envelope" at press conferences and events is not hidden, I've had to turn away or give in to some of their requests myself. But that they would do it over the deaths of almost 100 people?

How low has our press gone to that they collected this blood money? What else have they collected bribe for and misinformed the masses? We may decry the work of bloggers, but can we at all trust the Nigerian fourth estate?

Check out Nicholas Ibekwe's tweets and listen to the audio below. Read the full transcript here.

Angela Coates is a former Jet magazine Beauty of the Week, but when she was arrested in DeKalb County for disorderly conduct, she had to take a mugshot like all criminals. Well, just like Jeremy Meeks, the fine guy felon of a few months ago, Angela Coates has become an internet celebrity for her attractive mugshot.

Many guys on Twitter offered to help the 22-year-old Tampa native get up her $360 bail. Even the men who called out us women for their admiring Jeremy Meeks were not left out.

Also like Meeks, many modeling offers were issued and soon a ‘Free Angela Coates’ campaign soon popped up with a hashtag on Twitter – with hoards of men expressing their admiration for Coates.

“I got that bond money for you, baby” one Twitter user offered. Another said “I would sell our family house for the bond money, leave my wife and kids homeless.”
