Fox News Shames Cosby Show Star, Gets an Earful from... Everyone


Remember Geoffrey Owens from The Cosby Show?


He portrayed the character of Elvin Tibideaux for seven years on this formerly iconic NBC sitcom?


Well… he"s now working part-time as a bagger of groceries at Trader Joe"s, while still booking actig gigs and just trying to make a decent living.


For some reason, Fox News felt a need to shame Owens over this apparently pathetic job, writing an entire article about it and including with it an unflattering snapshot of Owens at Trader Joe"s.


What did the network do this?


That"s what pretty much everyone in Hollywood wants to know, as you can see in the following responses on social media…




1. This is from the Story in Question


Cosby actor guy

And this is the headline of that story on Fox News: ‘Cosby Show’ actor Geoffrey Owens spotted bagging groceries at NJ Trader Joe’s.



2. Owens Portrayed Sondra Huxtable’s Husband for a Total of 44 Episodes


At joes

He’s now working sometimes at a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey. And actors across Hollywood are on the attack against Fox News for thinking this is something that has to be publicized, especially when it’s clear the angle of shame they were going for.

Gigi Hadid Epicly Shames Her Body-Shamers

Body-shaming is always wrong. When it comes to body-shaming a gorgeous model like Gigi Hadid, it’s also absurd. (Well, it’s always absurd)


Gigi Hadid is fighting back after haters tried to attack her appearance at New York Fashion week, posting to Twitter about why her body looks the way that it does but telling people off for asking in the first place.


And she’s not mincing words.



Just recently, Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid posed naked together, which earned some … mixed reactions from folks who found it a little squicky. But this criticism is of a very different nature.


In a thread of tweets that has earned praise from fellow models Kendall Jenner and Chrissy Teigen, Gigi Hadid


“For those of you so determined to come up w why my body has changed over the years, you may not know that when I started @ 17 I was not yet diagnosed w/Hashimoto’s disease.”


Hashimoto’s thyroidism is an autoimmune disease, which as many as 5% of people face during their lives, and it’s much more common in women than in men. Long story short, it results in gradual shrinkage and destruction of the thyroid gland.


“Those of u who called me “too big for the industry” were seeing inflammation & water retention due to that.”


Hateful that she was referred to that way.



She continues to defend herself against body-shaming trolls in further tweets:


“Over the last few years I’ve been properly medicated to help symptoms including those, as well as extreme fatigue, metabolism issues, body’s ability to retain heat, etc … I was also part of a holistic medical trial that helped my thyroid levels balance out.”


Of course, though her shamers years ago thought that she was “too big,” contemporary haters feel that she’s the opposite.


“Although stress & excessive travel can also affect the body, I have always eaten the same, my body just handles it differently now that my health is better. I may be ‘too skinny’ for u, honestly this skinny isn’t what I want to be, but I feel healthier internally and (cont)”


She continues, reminding everyone that she’s 22 and her body is still changing.


“(cont) am still learning and growing with my body everyday, as everyone is.”



Finally, she puts her foot down.


“I will not further explain the way my body looks, just as anyone, with a body type that doesn’t suit ur ‘beauty’ expectation, shouldn’t have to. Not to judge others, but drugs are not my thing, stop putting me in that box just because u don’t understand the way my body has matured.”


Basically, she shouldn’t have to explain her gorgeous figure to anyone, whether she’s retaining water or not.


She expresses a plea for people to, you know, be less terrible.


“Please, as social media users & human beings in general, learn to have more empathy for others and know that you never really know the whole story. Use your energy to lift those that you admire rather than be cruel to those u don’t.”


That’s sound advice.



This is not the first time that Gigi Hadid has spoken of her medical condition. A little over a year ago, she told People:


“My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto’s disease. It’s a thyroid disease, and it’s now been two years since taking the medication for it.”


Medication can really make a difference.


“It’s now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the [Victoria’s Secret] show I didn’t want to lose any more weight.”


She has some goals for her own body.


“I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that’s good.”



First of all, it’s awesome that Gigi smacked down her critics the way that she did.


This should also be inspirational to others who face body shaming.


Sure, most can’t relate to a supermodel who is gorgeous beyond reason. But if someone like Gigi Hadid’s appearance is getting picked apart, both by people who find her “too thin” or “too large,” that should tell people who face fat-shaming that trolls will never be satisfied.\


There’s nothing wrong with Gigi’s figure and there’s nothing wrong with anyone else’s, either.


It’s sad that she had to say what she said, but we’re so glad that she did. Gigi Hadid, you’re doing amazing.

Lewis Hamilton Publicly Shames 4-Year-Old Nephew, Apologizes

Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton posted a video in which he appears to be shaming his 4-year-old nephew for wearing a princess dress that he got for Christmas.


The backlash was immediate, though some were divided as to whether this upsetting video was sincere or just a really bad idea of a joke.


Below, you"ll see the video — the nephew is adorable, for what it"s worth — and Lewis" apology.


Lewis hamilton at cannes film festival


Lewis Hamilton is a Formula One racer.


He"s handsome, in a bargain basement Elliot Knight sort of way. He"s British, he has piercings, and he"s reasonably famous.


There"ve been reports of Lewis Hamilton dating Kendall Jenner and he"s also been linked to Rihanna.


His life is a fantasy for most, so … why is he so sad in this video?


Lewis hamilton on snapchat


As you"ll see below, Lewis Hamilton records a Snapchat video.


To be fair, it"s not always easy to tell how sincere someone is being on social media, particularly in a very short video that seems to send some mixed messages.


But his words are troubling.


"“I’m so sad right now," Lewis says. "Look at my nephew."


And then he shows his four-year-old nephew, to whom he appears to be speaking.


Lewis hamilton nephew 1


"Why’re you wearing a princess dress?" Lewis demands.


"Is this what you got for Christmas?"


His nephew laughs and nods.


"Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas?"


This is when Lewis starts yelling, though since we can"t see his face, it"s difficult to tell what sort of yell it is.


"Boys don’t wear princess dresses!"


Lewis hamilton nephew 2


Whether Lewis Hamilton was sincere or not in his opinions, this video is troubling. Even if he was "play-yelling" with his nephew (he did spend part of the day playing with his nephew), his words were upsetting to a number of followers.


The backlash on social media was immediate and powerful, and Lewis deleted the video and issued a three-tweet apology.


"Yesterday I was playing around with my nephew and realized that my words were inappropriate so I removed the post. I meant no harm and did not mean to offend anyone at all. I love that my nephew feels free to express himself as we all should."


Even if you"re joking (and he doesn"t quite say that he was), some worried that his words could have had an impact on his nephew. 4 is a formative age.


"My deepest apologies for my behavior as I realize it is really not acceptable for anyone, no matter where you are from, to marginalize or stereotype anyone."


It"s important to remember that "boys don"t wear dresses" is probably very similar to the last words that some men and trans women have heard yelled at them before they died. So … it"s really not funny.


"I have always been in support of anyone living their life exactly how they wish and I hope I can be forgiven for this lapse in judgment."


Honestly, I"m inclined to believe that he made the video in jest and didn"t realize how people would perceive him. Not everybody"s good at humor, folks.



Dresses are cool, folks. They can be colorful, they move when you walk, and they"re immeasurably more comfortable than pants.


(Pants are nothing but leg prisons)


The instant that it becomes widely socially acceptable for men to wear skirts and dresses, plenty of men will rush to wear them because they"re great articles of clothing and it"s silly to restrict them by gender.


But we won"t get to that place as a society solely through the work of pioneers like Jaden Smith. Part of what will lead to a more accepting world is not saying things to children like what you"re about to hear in this video.


Yes, even if you"re joking.
