Will the real Joycelyn Savage please step forward?!! That’s the thought being echoed quite loudly after social media and the rest of the internet went wild after someone did a tell all on R Kelly. Joycelyn Savage and Azriel Clary were the last two girlfriends standing by R Kelly’s side as he was arrested, denied bail and awaits sex abuse charges from courts in Chicago and New York. Savage and Clary, who were living in Kelly’s Trump high end apartment, publicly spoke on Kelly’s behalf and denied they were abuse victims and being forced to defend Kelly. But this week, Savage appeared to turn on Kelly. Savage reportedly went to a social media service which charges patrons to hear its contents. Reportedly Savage, whose parents were in the Lifetime R Kelly documentary trying to free their daughter from the singer, confirmed abuse, an abortion, and ingesting human waste on Kelly’s command. More and more details came with each entry and, of course, each entry has a fee. Now people are saying they don’t believe what’s coming from that site. Some of Kelly’s past accusers say they don’t even believe its Joycelyn Savage. One tip-off was describing the use of condoms because a past accuser says R Kelly doesn’t use condoms. Some are even hinting at Joycelyn’s family members being behind this so called confession. R Kelly’s lawyer has said its unfortunate that Savage is trying to profit from describing her and Kelly’s loving relationship this way. Well, Kells is locked up and people don’t see him getting out as he faces a slew of charges in two states, including from the feds. So the money has dried up. Could this really be Savage doing this for the money or someone else? Savage hasn’t confirmed any of these accusations through any other sources and why change up now? Now the subscription service wants proof that its really Joycelyn Savage. Hmmmmmmmm! By the way, what does girlfriend number two, Azriel Clary, say to all this? She just went on social media and said Say Less.

Speaking of jail and not getting out anytime soon, there’s Bill Cosby. The legendary Philadelphia born comedian has granted his first jailhouse interview and pulls no punches. Cosby says he expects to do all ten years of his three to ten year sentence. Why? Because he says he will never admit remorse for a crime he didn’t commit, and he’s innocent. Cosby was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. Cosby could possibly be paroled in three years. But for that to even be considered, most law experts say he’d have to admit guilt and remorse. Cosby says he has no intention of doing so no matter how many groups of people come forward because he was there they weren’t. Cosby‘s appeal to throw out his conviction and grant him a new trial is still being considered by a Pennsylvania three judge appellate panel.Cosby gave his first prison interview to Black Press USA, and says he’s using his prison time to counsel and mentor the other inmates. He says he feels he’s making progress by working with the group Mann Up.

Did Gabrielle Union get kicked off America’s Got Talent for speaking truth to power?!!!! People are beginning to wonder whether or not fellow judge and Producer Simon Cowell has a problem with women because Union and Julianne Hough are both leaving this season after they replaced Heidi Klum and Mel B. Of course, after a brief run as host replacing Nick Cannon, Tyra Banks herself got replaced by Terry Crews. So what’s with all the changes? At press time no official word, but stories are starting to leak out, including one involving Jay Leno. Apparently, the former Tonight Show host taped an appearance and allegedly joked Simon Cowell’s many dogs looked like a Korean restaurant menu. Reportedly, staffers were offended and were encouraged by Union to file a complaint with human resources. Next, reports are both Hough and Union were heavily critiqued about their looks and style, particularly Union whose variety of hairstyles were considered too black. Hough still has a deal for holiday specials with NBC, and Union’s Bad Boys TV spinoff LA’s Finest has been renewed for a new season on the Spectrum cable network. Did Union’s real life activism make it to the set of America’s Got Talent and get rebuffed? Look for more information soon on this one.
