    OPEN POST: ‘Women Of Color’ Spark #MuteRKelly Movement + R. Kelly Responds To ‘Public Lynching’… (VIDEO)

    May, 1 2018 | Written by ATLien

    A few days ago, Women of Color (a subgroup within the Time?s Up movement) penned a letter calling for action against R. Kelly for his alleged history of sexual abuse.

    In the letter, the women demand that the music industry cut ties with R. Kelly and also call for an investigation into all sexual-misconduct allegations involving the singer.

    Well, R. Kelly has responded and he’s calling it a “public lynching”.

    The internet is such a wonderful place and there’s so much going on in the social world besides celebrities arguing with each other or random THOTs twerking for the gram.

    That being said there are a slew of hilarious ‘everyday’ people out there with stories that are better than reality shows!

    One even caught the eye of screenplay, Ava DuVernay who tweeted:

    Ava DuVernay 1

    A young lady on twitter named @_zolarmoon (Zola) blessed her timeline with hilarious tale of tricking gone wrong that starts out in a Hooters and ends up in a strip club in Florida.  Zola meets a chick at work and the two began vibing over their “hoeism,” they form such a bond that Zola agrees to travel with her to Florida and the rest is twitter storyline history.

    I saw #Zola trending the other day and didn’t know what all the hubbub was about until I actually read the story and you should too!  To quote Zola herself, “this story long but it’s full of suspense” and it’s well worth the read!

    read a book

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
