More Men Come Forward Accusing Kevin Spacey of Sexual Harassment




RadioOnFire.com - More men are coming out and sharing their stories after Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of sexual harassment.

Film director Tony Montana revealed that Spacey groped him in 2003. “He grabbed me very hard,” Montana told HuffPost. Montana also admitted that Spacey tried to convince him to leave a bar with him (during 2003 encounter). Montana mentioned that Spacey also followed him into the bathroom.



Mexican actor Roberto Cavazos wrote about his feelings toward Spacey on Facebook. Translated from Spanish, Cavazos said "It appears that all that was needed was a male under the age of 30 for Mr. Spacey to feel free to touch us. It was so common that it turned into a local joke (in very bad taste)." NBC News clarified that Cavazos only had knowledge of his personal encounter with Spacey and did not witness any others.




According to The New York Times, Kevin Spacey's publicist announced that the actor will be seeking treatment following the numerous accusations. “Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time.”

Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile: There Was Proof Hillary Cheated Bernie



RadioOnFire.com - Former interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile thinks Hillary rigged the race against Bernie Sanders -- and she has proof. In a piece published by Politico, she recalls her discovery.

She begins by saying that she promised Sanders that she would get to the bottom of whether Clinton’s team rigged the nomination process. Brazile said she discovered 2015 agreement between the national committee and Clinton’s campaign and fundraising arm.



The agreement gave Clinton control of the Democratic Party's finances, strategy, and all the money raised-- in exchange for taking care of the debt leftover from President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.

Although this was not illegal, Brazile describes it as unfair and unethical. "This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity."

She also mentioned: "If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead."



Brazile said if she would have known about Clinton's agreement she wouldn't have accepted the interim chair position. Conversely, she discovered everything only a few weeks before the election.

What is Wrong With Tyrese Gibson Now?


RadioOnFire.com -  Singer/actor Tyrese Gibson has been sharing quite a bit on social media these days.
Gibson, who professionally goes by Tyrese, is apparently involved in a beef with "Fast and Furious" franchise costar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
On Wednesday, Gibson posted a photo on Instagram of himself, Johnson and their costar Vin Diesel, and threatened to abandon a future "Fast and Furious" movie if Johnson is in it.


"I'm sorry to announce that if Dewayne [sic] is in Fast9 there will no more Roman Pierce [sic]," Gibson wrote. "You mess with family and my daughters survival I mess with yours......... close your eyes dude you're a 'Clown.'"



Gibson portrayed the character of Roman Pearce in six of the franchise's eight films so far, which include a diverse cast of characters.
He's currently involved in a contentious custody battle with an ex over his 10-year-old daughter Shayla and has been pouring out a great deal of emotion on his Instagram and Facebook accounts.
On a photo of Gibson with director Lee Daniel, Gibson wrote that he was "never mad at The Rock I was just mad that he was 'pitched' an idea privately and said yes to it without thinking of what I'm dealing with personally."
"I'm almost broke paying legal fees and is doing what we committed to doing for the #FastFans and #FastFamily cause the fast is tradition it's not just another movie," Gibson wrote. "Fast was created to COUNTER images of racism to counter that WE ARE NOT ONE RACE."



Gibson did not clarify which project of Johnson's he was upset about, but some fans have theorized it is the "Fast and Furious" spin-off featuring Johnson's character, which is set for release in 2019.
"All I asked you to do 'privately' was not accept a role that would deeply effect [sic] us all," Gibson wrote. "You are simply not the people's champ. You are a selfish champ."
He also posted a tearful Facebook video in which he started out addressing Johnson.

"You know compassion is being able to understand the seat and the reality that someone else is sitting in," Gibson said. "That's compassion. It's not about the seat that you're sitting in The Rock, it's about the seat that everyone is sitting in."
After some fans expressed concern regarding Gibson's behavior and comments, he posted a video on Instagram to say he was fine.

Jemele Hill Calls out Papa John's CEO Over NFL Comments



RadioOnFire.com - When former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the Nation Anthem last season, he maintained that he wanted to bring to light injustices faced by African Americans. While the quarterback has yet to receive a roster spot this year, the impact of his peaceful protest has shaken the NFL.




Many players have taken up the cause started by Kap; however, the simple gesture of kneeling has gained the wrath of many who feel the protest is disrespectful. President Trump has continuously bashed the league and even called for fans to boycott.

On Wednesday, Papa John’s founder and CEO John Schnatter during an earnings call said the company had a slump in sales, due in part to the NFL protests. “The NFL has been a long and valued partner over the years, but we are certainly disappointed that NFL and its leadership did not resolve the ongoing situation to the satisfaction of all parties," Schnatter said. He added that the NFL "should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago."



Following reports of the comments, ESPN host Jemele Hill called out the pizza restaurant boss. Hill, who recently came under fire for calling President Trump a white supremacist, tweeted, "Sorry racial injustice couldn’t be ended as easily as adding an extra topping and a side of ranch."



Check out the tweet above.

Parent Holds Teacher Hostage At Elementary School Near Los Angeles


RadioOnFire.com - An elementary school in California has canceled classes for the remainder of the week to give families and staff time to de-stress after a seven-hour standoff between a parent and police. The incident ended in bloodshed (Tuesday, Oct.31), caught in the middle of the traumatizing event was a 70-year-old teaching veteran who had been taken hostage by the assailant.



According to reports, Luvelle Kennon, 27, showed up at Castle View Elementary School at around 11:15 a.m. and forced himself past the front desk for reasons that are still being investigated. In the process, he assaulted a substitute teacher who attempted to stop him from proceeding without checking in with the receptionist; knocking the teacher down and breaking his nose with a punch to the face. Kennon then located veteran first-grade teacher Linda Montgomery, who had been alone in her room at the time, and barricaded himself inside of the room with her.

It wasn't until 6:00 p.m. that a SWAT team finally decided to put an end to the ordeal by busting into the room and delivering a fatal gunshot to Kennon. Mrs. Montgomery suffered minor injuries but is said to be doing well. Meanwhile, there has been no word as to whether or not Kennon, who was the father of a first-grade student at the school, was armed.

Kennon's uncle, Carl Jackson explained that his nephew had snapped, but details as to what brought about his actions are said to remain unclear. “He had a breakdown, and he relapsed again. That’s all, he’s not dangerous,” said Jackson.

Dustin Hoffman Accused of Sexual Harassment



RadioOnFire.com - Legendary actor Dustin Hoffman became the latest Hollywood star to make headlines over sexual assault allegations on Wednesday, (Nov.1). In an exclusive published by The Hollywood Reporter, "Death of a Salesman" actress Anna Graham Hunter opens up about how she was encouraged to put up with numerous occasions of harassment via lewd talk and uninvited passes, along with several instances in which Hoffman groped her.






According to Hunter, Hoffman began to impose himself on her the very first day she met him on the set of the 1985 film. At the time she was a 17-year-old aspiring to break into the business but revealed that she soon realized what that has entailed for many women who enter the industry with the aspirations she had at the time. 24 hours hadn't passed before she was asked to give Hoffman a foot rub, according to one account. Hunter confesses that she agreed, but didn't anticipate where it would go from there.

“He was openly flirtatious, he grabbed my a**, he talked about sex to me and in front of me. One morning I went to his dressing room to take his breakfast order; he looked at me and grinned, taking his time. Then he said, ‘I’ll have a hard-boiled egg … and a soft-boiled clitoris,'" Hunter told THR. "His entourage burst out laughing. I left, speechless. Then I went to the bathroom and cried,” she said. The former actress claims that she did eventually consult someone on the production team about Hoffman's forceful advances, but that she was advised to go with the flow by an individual who downplayed his maneuvers.



Upon receiving news that Hunter had gone to the press about his alleged behavior, Hoffman issued an apology, stating: “I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.

Conor McGregor Says He Can Beat Floyd Mayweather in Rematch


RadioOnFire.com - Since Conor McGregor took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas two months ago he has largely remained on the sidelines, appearing at an occasional UFC event and enjoying his family and newfound wealth. Meanwhile, the recurring buzz of a possible Mayweather comeback has taken root among some, with the opponent he is most likely to square up against again being McGregor, seeing how thrilling their battle was.

When asked about how he sees himself fairing in a prospective rematch, the Irish star states confidence that he would finally solve the undefeated boxing great.



"Three game changes in one fight is an impressive trait, and that's why he is in the position he is in. So, hats off to him," McGregor told SportsCenter, after inferring that the challenge he posed forced The Money Team boss to make several adjustments in order to come out on top. "If a rematch happened, I would most certainly beat him. I have no doubt in my mind," McGregor then proceeded to say.

Talk of a Mayweather return was recently resurrected when the retired champ posted a video of himself training in his Las Vegas gym, only one day after UFC president Dana White told the Pardon My Take podcast audience that he'd "never say never" to the possibility of a rematch vs. Conor McGregor. White followed up the quote by saying that he ultimately doubts Mayweather would select to fight again. But with no date having been established for McGregor's next fight (projected to be against either Nate Diaz or Tony Ferguson), there is some question as to whether the taste for another nine-figure pay day may entice Floyd to step in and strike while the iron is still hot.



McGregor mentions Mayweather at the 6-minute mark.

Tyrese Gibson Broke Down Before Court Today


RadioOnFire.com - Tyrese is coming apart at the seams over his legal battle to see his daughter, and he recorded an emotional breakdown hours before heading to court.




In a recent Instagram post, Tyrese admitted that he's "swimming in legal fees" fighting to see his daughter after his ex-wife accused him of physically abusing Shayla. He detailed how no money is coming in due to no one hiring him, "CAA tried but couldn’t book me anything cause my ex-wife killed my reputation so no one wants to hire me.It’s not about I know I know I know right?? Says the man on the Forbes list.. Make sure you kiss your 2 daughters when you get home I wish I could but I can’t afford to fight for my baby anymore so they’re likely going to take her away."

A new video has surfaced, via TMZ, of the Fast & Furious actor breaking down in tears while wearing a sweater with his daughter's name on it. The video was supposedly taken before a court session, where the actor says he hasn't seen his daughter in two months. The video starts off with Tyrese detailing how fathers "who do care" can be overshadowed by the ones who don't. 



"They're not able to tell the difference between the good ones and the bad ones, between the criminals and the men of God," he says in the video. "The Muslims, the Jews, the Christians, the men that wake up every day...to focus on one thing." After his short introduction, Tyrese starts breaking down in tears seemingly trying to compose himself saying, "please don't take my baby."

He says that no one is hearing his plea for his daughter because no one is in the courtroom the same he is taking the standing. In the video, he asks himself if he's doing "something illegal" by even filming his emotions.

6 Women Accuse Filmmaker Brett Ratner of Sexual Misconduct


RadioOnFire.com - Six women have come forward accusing Hollywood film producer/director Brett Ratner of sexual harassment or misconduct. Canadian actress Natasha Henstridge alleged that Ratner forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was 19. “He strong-armed me in a real way. He physically forced himself on me,” she told the LA Times.



Actress Olvia Munn is also one of the six women accusing Ratner. Munn claims that Ratner masturbated in front of her in his trailer back in 2004, when she visited the set of “After the Sunset.” At the time, Munn was an aspiring actress.

Ratner's attorney Martin Singer dismissed the accounts of all the women. "I have represented Mr. Ratner for two decades, and no woman has ever made a claim against him for sexual misconduct or sexual harassment. Furthermore, no woman has ever requested or received any financial settlement from my client,” Singer wrote in a 10-page letter to the Times.



In recent weeks, many women have come forward with allegations against high-profile figures as Harvey Weinstein and director James Toback.

This is currently a developing story.

Scarface Says Geto Boys Are Working on a New EP
