The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down for a candid conversation in a CBS tell-all which aired in March 2021, shortly after they exited their roles as working royals and moved to California.

The interview would end up revealing allegations of mistreatment and racism the Sussexes reportedly had to deal with from the prestigious family, including conversations about the couple’s then-unborn son Prince Archie‘s skin color. Innerestingly, Harry has since denied ever accusing the royals of being racist, but rather of exhibiting unconscious bias.

It was a tumultuous time for the entire royal family, but it seems Will may have been feeling the most guilty going in — because he was so worried he couldn’t eat, per sources!

In a heated debate on Dan Wootton‘s GB News on Tuesday, Mail on Sunday‘s Editor-at-Large, Charlotte Griffiths, declared:

“I’ve heard this for a long time now from many different sources … in the lead-up to that Oprah interview, William was quite literally sick with worry. He was not eating, and he became — not reclusive — but he definitely was hiding away. He went to a royal residence for a period of time to cut himself off from the world. He was just in bits, basically.”

Later, the reporter stressed how serious the situation was, adding:

“Literally, he couldn’t eat for a week before the Oprah interviews.”

All because he was worried about what Harry would say? Jeez. Does this mean he thought he had a reason to be nervous?! Despite all this anticipation, Harry went pretty easy on his older brother, compared to others, in the Oprah sit-down — much unlike he did in Spare! Was he worried something else would be revealed? Like the story about him hitting Harry? Something else??

Unlike Will, Princess Catherine, AKA Kate Middleton, got “steely” as she was ready to step in to “protect” her husband, Charlotte shared:

“And what Kate was doing was standing by her man. Kate was like, ‘I’ve got to stick up for this guy and protect him. He’s being destroyed by this,’ and that probably made her quite steely, even though she has this reputation for being shy. But when it comes to protecting her husband, she’s going to step in and protect him.”

This comes after it was revealed Kate and William fought to make sure Queen Elizabeth II‘s statement after the TV special hit back as hard as possible at the racism claims.

In an excerpt of the paperback edition of Valentine Low‘s book Courtiers, he claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales campaigned for the inclusion of the phrase “some recollections may vary” in the statement. As Perezcious readers know, Elizabeth said at the time:

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

The phrase in question was key to showing the royal family did not stand by everything their estranged relative had declared. It was the shadiest line by far in the response — and it almost didn’t make it into the official press release, Valentine wrote:

“It had a much milder version. The debate was, do your rise entirely above it and offer the olive branch of (Harry and Meghan being) ‘much loved members of the family’? Or is there some moment when you have to intervene and offer a view?”

Thanks to the Cambridges, a more aggressive version was published:

“They wanted it toughened up a bit. They were both of one mind that we needed something that said that the institution did not accept a lot of what had been said.”

Kate and Will’s plan worked! And we could likely be seeing more strategic moves like this in the future. According to Low’s source, the mother of three is now “playing the long game” as she knows she’ll be queen one day. So, she’s preparing for her big moment when she’s really in charge. And, let’s just say, that doesn’t bode well for Harry or Meghan if all this is true! If William and Kate haven’t softened to the couple at this point, who knows if the feud will ever resolve itself…

So remember the song called Gangnam Style by PSY that became a massive hit in 2012? Well, Colleen, dressed as her character Miranda Sings, made a music video on YouTube for the song in 2013 – and it is just roughly two minutes of blatant racism. No joke. It’s really, really bad.

Wow…

No words. The fact that not only did Colleen think it was OK to make this blatantly racist video, but she still has it up ten years later… Our jaws are on the floor.

As we mentioned before, this is just the latest racism allegation and offensive video to resurface amid her scandal. She has been at the center of controversy, as former fans have accused her of grooming, encouraging bullying, and discussing sexual topics with minors. Colleen also has been accused of being racist on the set of her Netflix show Haters Back Off. There’s also a video circulating of her performing in what appears to be blackface. After everything that’s come out, there’s definitely no performing another ukulele number to get her out of this mess.

The post Colleen Ballinger Called Out After Video Resurfaces Of Her Mocking <i>Gangnam Style</i>! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Colleen Ballinger is clapping back! On Thursday, the internet personality’s legal reps denied claims she was dressed “in blackface” during a resurfaced performance of Single Ladies in a statement to Variety. In the viral video, it appeared she had dark-colored paint on her face – and she did, per her legal team at the law firm Berk Brettler, but it wasn’t what it seemed.

They claim just before belting Single Ladies in 2009, Colleen took the stage with Oliver Tompsett to sing As Long As You’re Mine from Wicked. In honor of the musical, she painted her face green like Elphaba. She kept this same paint on as she immediately transitioned into performing Beyoncé’s song, which she always ended her shows with at the time because it was one of her most popular bits. To prove all of this, they even released an extended recording of the controversial show — which now includes the Wicked performance. You can see it HERE.

How’s Colleen Ballinger gonna sing this trouble away…

Amid allegations of racism and grooming young fans, the Miranda Sings star on YouTube is now coming under fire for seemingly wearing blackface in a resurfaced video. In a new clip circulating online, the comedian can be seen performing Beyoncé‘s hit Single Ladies with two others on stage. They all wear black bodysuits, but it’s just Colleen whose face is painted black.

The original video was actually posted on Miranda Sings’ official YT page in February 2018. It is only viewable thanks to a link released in her book, My Diarrhe, which may be why it didn’t generate a ton of backlash until now. It appears she gave the inappropriate AF performance during one of her comedy shows at the time.

And here’s the full thing if you’re interested:

Just… wow.

This is never a good look, but it is made even more problematic knowing the string of other gross and disturbing allegations levied against the star in recent weeks. If you’ve been following this scandal, you’ll know this all began when a former fan, Adam McIntyre, called Colleen out for allegedly grooming young viewers, encouraging bullying, and asking minors about their sex lives, among other things. The 36-year-old clapped back by releasing a 10-minute video in which she addressed the claims via a cringe-worthy and tone-deaf ukulele song — no apology in sight!

Her former friend and collaborator, Trisha Paytas, then publicly blasted her while revealing Colleen used to share explicit photos of her with fans and hold viewing parties to mock her body. And this happened somewhat recently as she noted the influencer was “well into their 30s who just gave birth.” JFC. Also, April Korto Quioh, a former assistant to the writers and showrunner for Haters Back Off, the content creator’s two-season show with Netflix, spoke out. In a scathing blog post titled You Owe Me An Apology, April slammed the internet personality for alleged racism and inappropriate behavior on set.

For example, the assistant claimed Colleen allegedly insisted the show have limited background actors of color since the series took place in Washington and she thought it’d be “distracting” to have them around. She also demanded an Asian food market be “re-dressed as a bodega for the show and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that all the ‘Asian s**t’ would be removed before filming.” WTF.

When addressing why all the leads of the show were white, April noted:

“I sat patiently as the Powers That Be expressed concern that the entire main cast for the show was white and silently prayed that since someone with some actual say had spoken up, things might change. And I took note, yet again, as Colleen assured them that they had only casted the best person for each role and that it wasn’t her fault that all of those people ended up being white.”

It gets worse, too. April included alleged screenshots of texts she sent a friend about the aforementioned audition process. In them, April recalls Colleen allegedly yelling out “Where is he” — “implying he is so dark skinned he disappeared.” She continued:

“I recall overhearing her once brag that a creator was being ‘cancelled’ for saying the n-word (and if you think she went with ‘n-word’ instead of hitting that hard ‘r’ then you haven’t been paying attention) and that she would never be stupid enough to get caught doing something like that.”

And now she’s seen performing in what appears to be blackface. Yikes. She better not address this with a freaking ukulele remix because these very serious accusations deserve an equally serious response! Reactions, Perezcious readers?

The post Video Of Colleen Ballinger Performing In Blackface Surfaces Amid Racism & Grooming Scandal! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

While taking the stage with his band The 1975 during a headlining gig at Finsbury Park in London on Sunday, Matty decided to take a moment and get real with his fans. Without mentioning what exactly he was referring to, he opened up about how sometimes his actions and words don’t always land the way he intended. With the faintest hint of an apology (if you can even call it that…) at the very beginning of his statement, he told the crowd:

“I was always trying stuff and some stuff I got right and some stuff I got wrong. But you know what, there’s a lot of things that I’ve said, jokes that I’ve made, that I would take back. You know what, there’s probably a couple of f**king songs that I’d take back if I had the choice.”

Inneresting!

He went on to insist all he ever wanted to do is give his fans a good time, noting:

“What I mean is that I really am only doing this because I want to make you guys laugh and feel good. That’s what my favourite art does and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

The 34-year-old then mentioned Love Me, the lead single off the band’s second album, I Like It When You Sleep for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, joking that “it doesn’t make sense unless I’m taking the piss out of myself.” Healy continued:

“I’m not a nonchalant person. I’m not somebody who takes things for granted, so I was excited. The 1975 isn’t a dry band — there’s a lot of irony in it.”

All in all, he’s happy with what he’s done, Matty concluded:

“I get a bit excited, and you know what, I’m f**king proud of myself.”

As we said, it’s not really an apology, but it shows that all this backlash has been weighing on him. As we covered, amid his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift, fans called him out for racism and inappropriate behavior.

One of the most damning bits of resurfaced content was an appearance on The Adam Friedland Show in February. During the podcast interview, he mentioned Ice Spice, and the two hosts went on to call her an “Inuit Spice Girl” while using Chinese and Hawaiian accents. Matty didn’t chime in at that point, but he could be heard laughing along. Later, in the same conversation, he also revealed he gets off to extreme porn of women of color being “brutalized.” And this is just a small list of the kinds of things he was getting blasted for.

Amid all this controversy, the frontman sat down with The New Yorker and straight-up refused to apologize, arguing:

“It doesn’t actually matter. Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen.”

He continued:

“If it does, you’re either deluded or you are, sorry, a liar. You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt. It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something so base level.”

Interestingly, he made an exception and did apologize to Ice Spice during a concert in April, saying onstage that he “never meant to hurt anybody,” elaborating:

“Sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued, it’s ’cause I don’t want Ice Spice to think that I’m a d**k. I love you Ice Spice…. It’s OK for me to be like, a trickster or whatever, but I don’t want to be perceived as mean-hearted.”

Noting that he was “genuinely sorry,” he added:

“We all get it wrong, and I just have to do it in public and then apologize.”

Sounds like he knows he messed up to some degree, but he’s not going to oblige fans with an apology every time his larger-than-life persona gets him in trouble. Thoughts?! Do U think this was an appropriate comment or does he owe haters a more direct apology? Let us know (below)!

Katie Sorensen, a California-based “momfluencer,” was sentenced to 90 days behind bars for lying about her children’s attempted kidnapping in 2020!

If you haven’t been following the story, back on December 7, 2020, Katie was at a Michaels craft store with her 1-year-old and 4-year-old children when she claimed a Latino couple attempted to snatch her little ones. She drove straight to the Petaluma Police Department to “report suspicious behavior exhibited by two adults (a man and woman) at a Michael’s craft store,” per the OG press release. The couple was later identified as Sadie and Eddie Martinez, who were in the store to buy Christmas decorations.

Several days after reporting the alleged kidnapping to the authorities, the content creator shared her story with around 57k followers on her Instagram account @motherhoodessentials_, which has now gone private. But her post included additional information she hadn’t told the cops, sparking an investigation into her claims.

She said in the video at the time:

“My children were the targets of an attempted kidnapping. I want to share that story with you in an effort as to what signs to look for and encourage parents to be more aware of their surroundings and what is going on around them.”

According to NBC News, the 30-year-old claimed the couple made comments about her kids before attempting to approach them in the store’s parking lot.

She also told KTVU that the man tried to reach into her stroller before she screamed for help. She noted:

“They didn’t look necessarily clean-cut.”

The IG video was viewed nearly 5 million times! It also led to her talking to a local news outlet, too.

But this so-called kidnapping, we’d later find out, wasn’t what it seemed. Police conducted a follow-up interview with Katie after her TV appearance (and during this time, she identified the couple), but her account contradicted the couple’s claims and security footage from the store proving there was no suspicious activity.

Clapping back at the allegations against her, Sadie told KTVU at the time:

“Do you really think it’s OK to go online and be racist and make stories about a family? It’s hard enough to be a Latin family in a white community.”

Oof. She also told The Argus-Courier, “It’s like we’re literally guilty of being Brown while shopping.” Ugh. So f**ked up.

This drama brings us to late last week, when Katie was finally sentenced after she was charged with two misdemeanor counts of making a false report of a crime in April 2021. One of those charges was dropped before her hearing earlier this year.

So, on Thursday, the Sonoma County District Attorney released a statement revealing she was sentenced to 90 days in prison for making a false report. Katie will be eligible for work release for 60 days of the sentence. She was also ordered to be placed on a 12-month “informal probation,” during which time she cannot have a “social media presence,” must “submit to warrantless search and seizure,” and will need to “complete a 4-hour implicit bias training,” among other requirements.

She began serving her time immediately after sentencing. The local District Attorney released a statement to the media after the sentencing was announced in the case:

“Ms. Sorensen has been held accountable for her crime and we believe the Judge handed down a fair sentence. Our hope is that this measure of accountability will help provide some closure to the couple that was falsely accused of having attempted to kidnap two young children.”

Agreed. They have been dragged through the mud over an elaborate lie.

Hopefully, this brings them a sense of justice with Sorensen now having to face the consequences of her actions.

More accusations have come out about Colleen Ballinger’s inappropriate behavior.

For those who don’t know, the 36-year-old YouTube creator is best known for portraying Miranda Sings. After gaining success on social media, she took her character to Netflix to star in a series called Haters Back Off. It ran for two seasons starting in 2016. And lately, Colleen has been at the center of controversy after people have come forward with allegations of grooming, talking about sexual topics with young fans, and encouraging bullying.

And now, a former assistant to the writers and showrunner for Haters Back Off named April Korto Quioh has come forward about her behavior on set – and there are some disgusting and concerning details. You can see what she had to say about her time working with Colleen (below):

Related: Colleen Loses Sponsorships After MORE Inappropriate Interactions With Young Fans Emerge

First Impression

On Friday, April dropped a post on her blog called You Owe Me An Apology, where she recalled her time on set with Colleen. She shared that she was hired as a “Writers’ Assistant/Showrunner’s Assistant/Writers’ PA” for Haters Back Off, and the show was her “first real job in Hollywood.”

When she was hired, April did not know anything about Miranda Sings, so she took it upon herself to look up some videos the night before her first day on set. And let’s just say, she was shocked by what she found:

“I clicked on her YouTube channel and watched video after video in pure confusion. Isn’t this supposed to be for kids? She was dressed like Bozo the Clown but she kept making odd jokes about being, well, molested, and in one clip, I saw her on stage, encouraging what appeared to be a small child to literally reach into her pants and rummage around a bit. I texted my friends, hoping one of them could explain her appeal to me because clearly I was missing something.”

And her opinion of Colleen only worsened when they met for the first time:

“Upon meeting Colleen, my first impression of her was that she was boisterous, opinionated, and had a stunning lack of humility that was unlike anything I had ever seen. Immediately upon entering the writers’ room, I was treated to story after story about her sold out shows, how obsessed her fans were with her and the lengths they would go to get her attention.”

That sounds like a bragger! Elsewhere in the piece, April also noted how Colleen often allegedly made “biting comments” about those on set and often had a “lack of boundaries” with everyone, including her:

“She had a knack for making ‘funny,’ biting comments about the people around her and since we all had her to thank for our jobs, we were forced to just go with it. She saw no issue with commenting on my hair, or my clothes, or asking about my personal life. Her lack of boundaries was remarkable.”

But that’s only half of what April had to witness on set…

Incest & Rape jokes

When it came time to pitch stories for the show, April claimed Colleen often wanted to include references to incest. She allegedly pitched plotlines about Miranda and her uncle’s “special relationship,” where they “would be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy.” WTF?! As April said in the post:

“She often pitched stories in which Miranda and Uncle Jim would be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy that could always be easily explained away by a clueless Miranda. It was my responsibility to write down every single one of these pitches, schedule calls to look at mockups of The Daddy Saddle [a prop that Miranda would use to ride on her uncle’s back] that would be featured on the show, and mark points in the script where Colleen thought we could make Uncle Jim even more ‘r***y.’”

Again… What the actual f**k? Mind you, this show was meant for her fans – many of whom were minors! Her suggestions for her Miranda and uncle’s character made April “so, so uncomfortable.” However, she was still tasked with helping Colleen as the content creator tried “shoving as much incestual innuendo into the show as possible while assuaging the growing behind-the-scenes concerns that the show would be alienating to the intended audience (which was, again, kids.) April continued:

“It all felt deeply wrong – she would show us photos of the packed rows of smiling children who had attended her show the night before, and in the same breath, spend hours trying to think of a way to show Miranda and Uncle Jim all but having actual sex on screen.”

OMG…

Racism

According to April, she not only had to type “‘jokes’ into the script that to a vulnerable child, could easily make it nearly impossible to identify inappropriate adult behavior in their own lives,” but she also had to deal with a ton of racism on set. Awful.

She recalled one instance where she sat in on a production meeting to take notes about Colleen allegedly insisting that the show have limited background actors of color as the show took place in Washington – and the influencer also thought it would be “distracting” to have them on set. That is just so beyond messed up. And there are unfortunately more instances of her racist comments. April went on to say that Colleen then had an Asian food market be “re-dressed as a bodega for the show and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that all the ‘Asian s**t’ would be removed before filming.”

When it came time to address why all of the actors in the show were white, April said:

“I sat patiently as the Powers That Be expressed concern that the entire main cast for the show was white and silently prayed that since someone with some actual say had spoken up, things might change. And I took note, yet again, as Colleen assured them that they had only casted the best person for each role and that it wasn’t her fault that all of those people ended up being white.”

In the blog post, April included screenshots of text messages she sent to a friend about the audition process. She told her pal that the lighting on the tape “wasn’t great” and Colleen allegedly yelled out “Where is he” – “implying he is so dark skinned he disappeared.” And that’s not all. She then remembered a time when she allegedly caught Colleen saying the N-word:

“I recall overhearing her once brag that a creator was being ‘cancelled’ for saying the n-word (and if you think she went with ‘n-word’ instead of hitting that hard ‘r’ then you haven’t been paying attention) and that she would never be stupid enough to get caught doing something like that.”

Colleen Ballinger was allegedly caught saying the N-word and making racist remarks about black people while working on her show, ‘Haters Back Off!’

Just vile. April — who was also the only Black person in the office — also mentioned how she often felt Colleen “took a weird pleasure in making me uncomfortable and knowing that even if I wanted to, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.” For instance, she alleged that Colleen “gave me the ‘honor'” of creating a villain character named after her and would “often pitch something vile and then look over to me and ask, “Any thoughts, April?”

No one should have to experience these type of despicable things on set. At this time, Colleen has not addressed the accusations about her behind-the-scenes behavior on set. If she does, here’s hoping she actually takes it seriously and doesn’t perform a 10-minute ukulele response video… again. Reactions to the situation, Perezcious readers?

VPR alum Faith Stowers is preparing to sue her former co-star Stassi Schroeder — and she’s asking for fans’ help to do it!

On Sunday, the reality star opened up a GoFundMe page requesting donations to help her prepare for legal war! Stassi infamously got booted from the Bravo series in 2020 after a 2018 incident in which she and Kristen Doute falsely reported Faith to the police for a theft crime she did not commit, as well as for making “racially insensitive comments.”

Related: Why Podcaster Thinks Tom Sandoval & Raquel Leviss Started Affair In 2019!

Fans later speculated Stassi had falsely accused her co-star of robbery out of revenge for Brittany Cartwright, who discovered her then-boyfriend Jax Taylor had cheated on her with Faith. Both Stassi and Kristen were fired at the same time, but the latter has since appeared on the show amid Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair drama.

In the years since, Stassi has been apologetic about the ordeal… but she’s also continued to dredge up — and profit off of! — the drama by sharing the story in her second New York Times best-selling book, Off With My Head, which hit shelves last year. And Faith has had enough of that!

On her new GoFundMe page, she explained the situation, saying:

“Hi! My name is Faith Stowers. As you may know I was former cast member on a television series called Vanderpump Rules. During my time there I was publicly targeted and mercilessly verbally attacked by Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute on multiple public platforms. These two women used their privilege and celebrity to try and tear me down at very sad time in my life and the Country. During that time I was also racially targeted and wrongfully accused of horrendous crimes that I have since been vindicated from.”

Seemingly letting Kristen off the hook, she turned all her attention onto Stassi, adding:

“Since Kristen’s accepted apology, Stassi Schroeder has written a NY times best seller book recently and has made more terrible non factual claims about me once again. After all she has done she continues to stand by her ignorant claims that are very harmful to me and my family. I’m seeking assistance with my legal team to get this book removed and all royalties/funds collected from this book be given to charity or assisting a family of choice. Thank you for your support always. And thank you all for standing up against bullies and racial division.”

Faith is asking for $20,000 to help with her legal fees. At the time of this writing, she has only received $705 in donations. Seems like folks don’t want to crowdfund efforts to sue. Huh. You can check out the fundraiser HERE.

Related: Stassi Schroeder Is Defending Tom Sandoval?! Well…

Fans have had lots of THOUGHTS on this impending court battle, with many taking to Twitter to support Faith’s actions, saying:

“I always felt bad that Faith got caught up in the actions of racists, and then had to watch them face minimum consequence. However she plans to sue, I hope justice is served.”

“Stassi and Kristen did not think for one minute what calling the cops and reporting a Black woman as matching the description of a wanted robber could do. Their s**tty racist ‘prank’ could have gotten Faith killed and they should have been prosecuted for false reporting.”

“Everybody bashing faith rn saying ‘didn’t faith sleep w/ jax’ when this ain’t about him. This is about stassi and kristen calling the cops on a Black woman for a crime she didn’t commit that could’ve led to something terrible happening”

That said, not everyone is supportive of the GoFundMe page, arguing:

“This can’t be real. If Stassi was still saying some racist rhetoric, FANS would know. Stassi is married and pregnant w/ her 2nd child. Faith sounds like she’s looking for a payday from a story that’s dead & buried. Looks like a serious cry for help”

“Stassi is a basic racist b*tch for sure, but I have had my fill of the GoFundMe’s for every damn thing. Good luck, Faith, but I’m out.”

“Girl what? It’s been years. This isn’t gonna do what u think it will. More ppl will prob buy her book.”

“She apologized, grown from it and has moved on. You should do the same for your own peace of mind.”

“Now that VPR is in the news, here you are trying to cash in SAD AND THIRSTY”

Yeesh! We’ll have to wait and see if Faith makes enough money to actually sue. What do YOU think of this?! Sound OFF (below)!

Kelly Osbourne f**king HATES Prince Harry, and she’s letting all her feelings out!

In an explosive new episode of Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan‘s podcast I’ve Had It on Tuesday, The Osbournes alum lashed out when discussing the Duke of Sussex. She began her wild rant by criticizing the royal’s pattern of “whining, whinging [and] complaining.” She then called him a “f**king t**t.” Damn!

The co-hosts laughed along to the vent session, including when the 38-year-old guest dissed Harry’s mental health activism, adding:

“[He’s like], ‘Woe is me, I’m the only one whose had mental problems, my life was so hard.’ Everybody’s life was f**king hard.”

Bringing up some of Harry’s more controversial moments, she continued:

“You were the prince of a goddamn country who dressed up as a f**king Nazi, and now you’re trying to come back as the Pope.”

She ended the rant by telling the father of two to “suck it.” Wowza! Hear her GO OFF on the Spare author (below):

Girl was on a roll!

Instagram users were pretty split on how to feel about the Project Runway Junior judge’s hot take, with one person suggesting she’s “on the wrong side of history.” Other users noted:

“Gotta love it when nepo babies with no actual talents or skills have so much to say about the lives of others”

“Gross, don’t take to Harry bashing. She is a little too much Sharon [Osbourne] for me.”

“She’s a nope for me.”

“Oh shut up. You could be describing yourself.”

“Can’t compare your problems to his losing his mom, [Princess Diana], especially the way it happened.”

Meanwhile, some listeners thought Kelly had a point, chiming in:

“[She is] allowed to have her own opinion.”

“YUP”

As mentioned, Kelly’s take on Prince Haz isn’t so far off from her mother’s. Sharon has taken heat several times for past comments about Harry and Meghan Markle, including when she defended her friend Piers Morgan amid intense backlash after he criticized the Suits alum following her interview with Oprah Winfrey. This led to her being blasted as a racist — and the internet dug up receipts in the form of former problematic commentary she made about the Duchess’ appearance as evidence.

More recently, though, the axed The Talk co-host has softened to the Invictus Games founder following his departure from the UK amid a family feud. During Fox News‘ coverage of Queen Elizabeth II‘s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, she reflected:

“I do feel sorry for him because I think that there must be a huge part of him that regrets [his decision]. […] It’s got to have an effect on you when [your children] don’t have any cousins, aunts, uncles.”

Three months later, she told Extra she “hope[s]” Harry and Prince William can repair their fractured bond. So, Sharon may feel a bit sorry for him, but Kelly sure doesn’t! Do U think she has a reason to hate him so much?? Sound OFF (below)!

The post Kelly Osbourne Really Hates Prince Harry! Hear Her GO OFF In Heated New Podcast! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The 34-year-old former television personality appeared on Call Her Daddy on Wednesday. Although Stassi is not on Vanderpump Rules anymore, Sandoval’s cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss convinced her to start watching the reality show again. So she naturally has some things to say about the affair drama — specifically the intense criticism the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras frontman has faced from social media users over the past few months. And let’s just say she’s not down for how he’s been treated on the internet!

That’s right, Stassi shockingly defended him on the podcast episode, saying:

“I’ve been in a position where I’ve received so much hate before. I don’t like where we’re at, like, in society where, like, that’s how we punish people.”

Yeah, Stassi def knows firsthand what can happen during the aftermath of a major controversy. In 2020, she and her pal Kirsten Doute were axed from Vanderpump Rules following their racist behavior toward their former co-worker, Faith Stowers. So she knows all too well what it’s like to be on the receiving end of online hate. That’s why she feels people have gone overboard with the vitriol directed at Sandoval! Stassi explained:

“It’s like emotionally beheading people. Who’s to decide what the punishment should be? Like, who makes someone the authority on that? What makes this person on their computer the authority on what they think is enough hate for him to receive? I don’t get down with that. I really, I don’t like it.”

The problem here is NO ONE is choosing for the entire internet to hate him. Each person is seeing what he did and deciding they hate him. The only reason it’s such a huge mob is because he put himself in the position of being a reality star.

Is it right for someone to get hit by a wave of hate like this? Maybe not. But it’s an unfortunate side effect of fame. The love is too much, the hate is too much.

That being said, the soon-to-be momma of two still isn’t a fan of Sandoval:

“Do I like Tom Sandoval? No. Do I think what he did is disgusting and — like, f**k him! But, like, see now I feel like I’m even adding to it. Like, the online vitriol.”

Host Alex Cooper quickly clarified that Stassi’s answers to an interview question are way different than people leaving death threats on Sandoval’s social media posts. To which the former reality star replied:

“Let’s just like, not do that as a group of people. Let’s just not. At some point, that is how people become incredibly depressed and, like, suicidal.”

There’s no denying that what Sandoval did was terrible to Ariana Madix, and how he has subsequently handled this scandal has been equally horrible.

But yes, we can’t believe we’re saying this AGAIN. But DO NOT SEND ANYONE DEATH THREATS! EVER! It’s not OK — no matter what you may think of the 40-year-old or his actions. Which, again, are bad.

Even though Stassi doesn’t want to add to the hate aimed at Sandoval, she admitted she was disappointed at missing the opportunity to go off on him during filming this season! And when asked if she liked the (potentially soon-to-be former?) Schwartz and Sandy’s owner, she stated:

“No. No, and he never liked me. Not being on this last season, it’s like my talents were wasted. This was when I really could have really just like given it to him and been like, ‘I always knew!’”

Oh yeah, she definitely called it back in season eight when she screamed at Sandoval for being a “selfish, egotistical, piece of s**t.” Looking back at her time on VPR, the Next Level Basic author recalled always being irritated at how producers let him get away with a lot over the years:

“I felt like he was always so beloved, and I would even say to my producers, I’m like, ‘When is he going to get the edit that like I feel like the rest of us see?’ Why does he keep like getting away with being just this dude who just wants to like, ‘Give people things and help people out, man.’ That’s not what I’m seeing. I’m seeing somebody who’s constantly blaming others for things and dredging things up from the past, and like, just deflecting constantly. If the rest of us look bad, then he looks good. And I’ve always felt that way.”

She then added:

“The fact that I’m not on it this season — it’s like, f**k.”

We bet fans would have loved to see a part two of her yelling at Sandoval when the affair news broke! Despite Stassi missing the show, she would be concerned about having her family on a reality show if she ever returned:

“I loved filming. All my 20s were spent doing that. I loved the camaraderie of it, and I loved all my producers and the team and the cast. Like, it’s fun. It’s really fun!”

However, Stassi also recognizes the success of the show really relies on the not-so-fun parts of the cast’s lives:

“The success of the show is, like, directly tied to how badly the cast hurts each other, and that like feels weird. It’s dark. When you really think about it, it’s f**king dark.”

Yeah, that’s drama! If it were just about a bunch of pals that worked well together, it wouldn’t be an exciting reality show, that’s for sure. Hmm.

As for whether she’d return to VPR if asked? Ultimately, Stassi doesn’t think she would “want to put my family in a position to be in something where, again, the success is tied to how much you can hurt each other,” explaining:

“I don’t think I’d It’s not, like, a healthy place to be. Like, it’s not good on relationships. You can be in the strongest relationship and, I mean, if you think about it, it’s like Vanderpump Rules is like ‘Who’s betraying who? Who’s cheating on who? Who’s being shady?’ And, like, sometimes they — things are invented that, like, never even happened. So to put that stress on a relationship and then if you have children on top of that, I’m just not sure that that’s the healthiest thing for me. But I do miss it, I do.”

Who would have thought we’d see the day when Stassi is defending Sandoval?! Reactions to her latest comments on Scandoval, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

The post Stassi Schroeder Is Defending Tom Sandoval?! Well... appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy are done — but apparently it’s not because of his controversies!

According to what an insider close to the Indie rocker’s band The 1975 told TMZ on Wednesday, the pop star was fully aware of his racist remarks he’d made on The Adam Friedland Show earlier this year. In case you’re unaware of what was said, we’ll warn you to proceed with discretion, because it gets VERY disturbing…

While on the podcast, the 34-year-old along with co-hosts Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen criticized Ice Spice, calling her “one of the Inuit Spice Girls,” a “chubby Chinese lady,” and “a f**king Eskimo” while mocking different accents. The guys also joked about “p***y drying up” AKA their inability to hook up with enough women, and they made fun of periods, too (can’t imagine why they’re not reeling in the girls with these jokes)!

It gets way worse though, because Adam decided to bring up a memory where Matty was caught watching Ghetto Gaggers pornography right after his friends left his house party! And in case you didn’t know — which for your sake we hope you didn’t — this site makes a type of extreme porn that just goes above and beyond disgusting. They focus primarily on degrading and humiliating women of color, with their own site reading:

“Extreme hardcore face f**king, ebony hoodr**s, ghetto double penetration, y***** discipline and interracial throat banging of the Ghetto Gaggers.”

You can hear it for yourself (below):

Uh… yeah. This is the stuff T-Swizzle was allegedly aware of BEFORE she started dating the musician. This pod episode was deemed so offensive it’s been banned on Apple Music, with other sites following suit. And what’s even more confusing, is right after her relationship with Matty dipped into the media, the 33-year-old released a collab with Ice Spice on her single Karma. The timing on all this is just a little… peculiar, don’t you think?

Another source told People on Tuesday something similar, that Tay Tay knew what she was getting into and could very well make the decision for herself:

“He likes to provoke a response out of people. She’s a grown woman more than capable of forming her own opinions about people. No one forces her into anything, especially not these days. She’s on top of the world.”

The insider for TMZ said today the relationship ending didn’t have anything to do with Matty’s comments, though, and it was mainly because they wouldn’t have time for each other while they were both on world tours this year. In fact, the source revealed Taylor and Matty were just blocking out all the hate during their time together and still care for each other. Which, when the hate is completely justified for such awful comments… is that the right thing to do?

What do U think, Perezcious readers? Let us know (below).
