Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey have reportedly split

Many of us have fallen in love with the idea of being in love, and it is why when we find out that our favourite Hollywood couples have split, we take it very personally.

Well, I have another split for you that many didn’t see coming. This couple made a strong early case for the biggest celebrity hook-up of 2021, and now, we are hearing something a little different.

Rumours started swirling about Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey at the end of November 2020. They were spotted in Salt Lake City for New Year’s Eve. In January 2021 was when the model and Black Panther star began making their relationship public. In a picture posted on Michael B. Jordan’s Instagram page, it shows the couple embracing among the holiday lights, and that is when we all knew that something was going on.

Not wanting anyone in their business, they did their best to shield their relationship from the media, but Michael B Jordan couldn’t help but share the joy he felt in his interviews.

“I’m still private,” Michael told a reporter for People Magazine, “And I want to protect that, but it just felt like it was a moment of just wanting to put it out there and move on. I am extremely happy.”

Well unfortunately, that happiness is gone. The beautiful young couple have reportedly broken up, and interestingly Lori has removed all photos of MBJ from her IG page, while he has not deleted any of her.

This leaves many wondering; what really happened between them?

Is it possible that the Kim Kardashian and Ray J sex tape was purposely leaked?

Love them or hate them, the Kardashian’s are one of the most talked about families in the world, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that the family is led by the original boss lady, Kris Kardashian.

The matriarch of the first family of reality TV is notoriously candid, but recent reports say that she is not only candid, but candid with a purpose.

It was reported that Kris’s first husband Robert Kardashian warned his wife and kids about the high price of fame. To him, it wasn’t worth it. In response, the determined and energetic Kim Kardashian announced that she intended to be rich and famous someday, and you can guess who was all up to supporting her baby girl; yep, the one and only Kris Kardashian.

By the time she hooked up with Bruce Jenner in 1991, Kris was a woman with a definite plan: First, she and her family were going to be filthy, stinking rich. And secondly, they were going to be famous. Nothing, but nothing was going to stop her.

It is why when recently reported rumours came out about the Kim and Ray J sex tape being purposely leaked, there was no real surprise. The now-infamous celebrity sex tape that Ray J and Kim Kardashian made sometime around 2002 that eventually was leaked in 2007 is now being exposed as a publicity stunt by no other than Kris Kardasian.

Ray J recently felt like it was time to let the truth be known and burst the bubble on a lie that many of us have believed for a decade-and-a-half now: the tape in question never leaked, but was actually a concocted plan between himself, Kim and Kris Jenner. Ray J admits that it was his idea, and he suggested it to Kim after they saw how Paris Hilton’s profile was boosted when she released her sex tape.

At the time, Kim claims she didn’t want to do it, Ray J says the now 41-year-old embraced the idea and enlisted her mother Kris Jenner to organize its release via Vivid Entertainment – a process he had little to do with.

Reportedly there was a contract, which was signed by both Ray J and Kim for three videos including two sex tapes, one made at the Esperanza Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, one created in Santa Barbara, and a third tape that is listed as an intro to the Cabo footage.

Only one tape – the video shot in Cabo – was ever released and dad-of-two Ray J told DailyMail.com that all of the intimate tapes were kept at Kim’s house in a shoebox under her bed.

I guess there are no limits to what people will do for fame, but a mom allowing this is surprising.

Golda Rosheuvel was told to hide her sexuality in order to be successful in Hollywood

“I would rather lose a job than not be true to who I am. I’d rather not work in an industry that doesn’t accept me. It just wasn’t how I was raised.” Golda Rosheuvel

Bridgerton has cemented itself as the fifth biggest original Netflix series ever. The show had over 63 million streams since it was released on Christmas Day, and it has found renowned fame amongst people of all ages.

What has been appreciated about this series is the fact that the show was shot from a feminist lens, and that even in the context of this time, these women have real agency. Yes, they are all suffering from the patriarchy in their own ways, but the storyline allows these women to choose their own destiny.

News recently broke that a fellow lesbian in the film industry told Golda Rosheuvel that she would have to hide her sexuality in order to be successful in Hollywood. The entertainment industry wasn’t always a gay-friendly place, and there are still some today that would rather go back to how things were.

Golda highlighted how much it means to be seen as her true self in the public eye as well as her personal life, “My sexuality is really important to me, in terms of existing, in terms of being around the campfire and knowing that I’m important. I’m as important as anyone on the planet.”
