Garcelle Beauvais reveals intimate details about friendship with Jamie Foxx

Beauvais did not hold back while revealing some personal information about her former co-star

Garcelle Beauvais kept it very real about a former co-star on The Real’s latest episode. The newly minted co-host divulged an intimate detail about her former costar Jamie Foxx.

Foxx and Beauvais were costars on The Jamie Foxx Show which ran for five seasons from 1996 – 2001 on the WB. The two played each other’s on-and-off-again love interests and it appears some of that chemistry made it off-screen.

On a recent episode of the show with co-hosts Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, and Jeannie Mai, Love asked Beauvais about a hot topic recently discussed on her podcast, Going to Bed with Garcelle.

Love recalls when Foxx was a guest and admitted that he and Beauvais should have been together in real life. Beauvais told the other co-hosts on The Real: “We have a great friendship, I love him, but you know sometimes – if we got together we probably wouldn’t be the friends we are right now.”

But that’s not where it ends. Love wanted more details after Beauvais said Foxx was “hung like a horse.”

Beauvais said while they were doing the show that there were ample opportunities for Foxx’s man parts to make an appearance.

“We did 100 episodes right. Every now and then, he’d have to rip off a pair of pants, or do some comedic act or whatever, however you want to say it. And it came out honey, it rolled out,” she said. “I love him so much. Never say never, who knows?”

A stunned Mai and Bailon were visibly amused by the revelation.

Beauvais is also the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the first Black woman to play a main character on the show.

Biden breaks single-hour record for donations after contentious debate

Donations poured into the Joe Biden campaign after he and President Trump sparred in their first debate and he raised $3.8 million

If you saw any portion of last night’s presidential debate you were likely shocked not just how contentious it was but how much is at stake in November if President Donald Trump remains in office. The president was at times bellicose, rude, and downright belligerent and even Fox News host Chris Wallace who moderated seemed stunned by his inability to stick to his appointed times to speak.

The millions who tuned in who may have been undecided voters or already Joe Biden supporters but they responded not just with disbelieving social media posts but also money. According to CNBC, Biden’s single-hour donation record was broken as monies poured into his campaign coffers. His campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, announced that $3.8M was raised between 10 and 11 p.m. on a post-debate call with the media.

The Democratic National Committee also reported record donations between 11 p.m. and midnight, though a specific figure was not specified, according to Now This is News.

“Joe Biden spoke directly to the American people tonight and they are responding,” Bedingfield told reporters.

While the debate motivated voters to spend, the death of progressive Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg on Sept. 18 also propelled would-be Biden supporters into donating more than $300M in small-dollar donations.

Trump has yet to release post-debate numbers, but Now This is News says that the campaign has mismanaged so many millions of dollars that Trump has considered putting up some of his own money.

Despite his debate performance and Biden’s strong showing in campaign fundraising, sources say that Trump is undeterred in his confidence about reelection. A “prominent Republican” told Vanity Fair that Trump believed he won the debate, though even some in his camp thought he’s in trouble.

“The thing about the debate is people got to see why no one that has any integrity can work for Trump, the unnamed Republican says. “This is what Trump is like in the Oval Office every day. It’s why [John] Kelly left. It’s why [Jim] Mattis quit. Trump doesn’t let anyone else speak. He really doesn’t care what you have to say. He demeans people. He talks over them. And everyone around him thinks it’s getting worse.”

Ohio Democratic Rep. Kennedy Kent endorses Trump

Ohio State Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent said Trump’s values aligned with her

A Democratic lawmaker has made her stance in support of President Donald Trump very clear.

State Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent, who is Black, said she has been a lifelong Democrat but is now on board with Trump. The lawmaker and her husband met with the president on Air Force One in Cleveland ahead of last night’s debate.

She released a statement on Tuesday that read, “We all recognize that gainful employment and economic development is the best deterrent against violence and social unrest, so I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to ensuring the success of the Black community in every way,” according to Cincinnati.com.

Kennedy Kent was kicked out of the Ohio House Democrats in 2018 according to Dispatch.com. She sent a public records request in regards to then-Police Chief Kim Jacobs to Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther using Ohio Legislative Black Caucus letterhead. The problem is that Cleveland Democrat and president of the Black Caucus, Rep. Stephanie Howse, said it was unauthorized.

“There is no apology,” said Howse. “She’s just digging down, and you cannot operate that way, especially when you’re elected and entrusted with people’s information. You cannot use it for your own personal agenda.”

Kennedy Kent said the Democratic party, “does not have the people’s best interest in mind,” in her latest comments.

She has not been to the Statehouse since May 2019 and today, she stands with Trump.

She said her “values” align with the president and accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of spewing “divisive rhetoric, promotion of mass incarceration, and disrespectful, insensitive ideologies.”

In the prepared statement she added, “We all recognize that gainful employment and economic development is the best deterrent against violence and social unrest, so I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to ensuring the success of the Black community in every way.”

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper declared that the endorsement didn’t reflect the strong support Biden enjoyed in the state among the party.

“She basically hasn’t been involved with the party or her Statehouse job for a long time,” Pepper said. “This is the first I’ve heard of her in a while. Obviously, she checked out of her public position a long time ago.”

Harris: Trump ‘denigrated’ presidency during debate

Sen. Kamala Harris faces off with Vice President Mike Pence, a key Trump ally, one week from today.

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris weighed in on the first presidential debate of the 2020 election season, saying that President Donald Trump “denigrated” the office of the presidency in his performance. 

“I think that the American people deserve to have an ability to compare and contrast the candidates, and I think tonight provided a very clear contrast,” Harris said on CBS after the debate.

Sen. Kamala Harris offers her analysis following Joe Biden’s debate with President Donald Trump.

“On the one hand, you had Joe Biden, who looked into the camera, who spoke to the American people continuously, who understood who was important on that stage, which is American families,” Harris told Norah O’Donnell. “And then you had Donald Trump, who really I think really denigrated the office of the president of the United States much as he has done over the course of the last four years.”

While Trump was boisterous, belligerent and often interrupted and talked over both the moderator and his challenger, former Vice President Biden has earned criticism for responding with insults. At one point, Biden pointedly opined that Trump was “the worst president that America has ever had.”

Moderator Chris Wallace tried to regain control of the debate time and time again, to no avail. At one point, Trump complained that he was the only one being chastised for talking over questions and talking over Biden’s answers. Wallace fired back, “Frankly, you have been doing more interrupting.”

The presidential debate was the first of three scheduled before the election on Nov. 3. The second debate is scheduled for Oct. 15 and a final one on Oct. 22. 

Harris will have an opportunity to face-off with Vice President Mike Pence next Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Last night’s debate has garnered almost universal condemnation. CNN analyst Dana Bash described the chaotic performance as a “sh*tshow.” Jake Tapper called it “embarrassing.” Even Fox News described the event as “rough and rowdy.” 

A number of media outlets and personalities are calling for the rest of the presidential debates to be canceled.

“This is a disgrace, a low point in American debate history. There is no reason, not one, that Joe Biden should participate in another debate,” Joe Scarborough contended on Twitter. 

The Atlantic staff writer David Graham wrote “Tuesday brought the first presidential debate of the 2020 election, and if there is any sense left in this nation, it will be the last too.”

Trump refuses to condemn white supremacy, tells Proud Boys to ‘stand by’

A social media account for the Proud Boys made the Trump phrase “Stand back. Stand by” part of its new logo.

The first presidential debate of the 2020 election has been described as “chaotic,” a generous characterization. President Donald Trump was loud and belligerent, while former vice president Joe Biden responded by mocking the president, calling him a “clown.”

One of the most stunning moments of the night was when Trump refused to condemn white supremacy and white supremacists.

Moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he was willing to condemn white supremacists and say that they need to stand down amid ongoing protests against police violence in the country. Wallace specifically pointed to Kenosha and Portland, where people have been killed during protests. 

“Sure, I’m willing to (tell them to stand down), but I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing, not from the right-wing. I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace,” Trump said.

“Say it. Do it. Say it,” Biden retorted. 

Trump then asked Wallace for a specific group to condemn. Biden twice said, “Proud Boys.” 

“Proud Boys — stand back and stand by,” Trump said. “But I’ll tell you what. I’ll tell you what. Somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem.”

The Proud Boys is a far-right group the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated as a hate group. On their website, they describe themselves as “Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.”

Read More: Trump says his rallies didn’t spread virus, many recall Herman Cain’s death

The group was founded in 2016 in New York by Gavin McInnes, the co-founder of Vice Media, and has since spread across the U.S., as well as to countries like Australia and Japan. It has been banned on Facebook and Instagram, and Twitter has suspended several Proud Boys-related accounts. 

However, after last night’s debate, one known social media account for the group made the phrase “Stand back. Stand by” part of its new logo.

Joe Biden tweeted screenshots of members of the organization celebrating after the president’s remarks, saying, “This. This is Donald Trump’s America.” 

Other Twitter responses were just as expressive.

FOR THE RECORD, HE DID NOT CONDEMN WHITE SUPREMACY

Re "stand back and standby," people who work in monitoring and de-radicalization and otherwise studying white power groups are sounding red alerts and sending emergency signals about increasing violence from now through the election, and after, regardless of winner.

For those who hadn’t been listening for the past 4 years, Trump just told you that he ain't leaving and that he is a white supremacist. If that doesn't get every American who is not white into overdrive to toss his ass – we may actually deserve what happens next.

Trump says his rallies didn’t spread virus, many recall Herman Cain’s death

During Tuesday night’s debate, the president downplayed the potential dangers of his infamous rallies where attendees did not wear masks or socially distance

During a fiery debate on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sparred over a range of political issues as millions of American voters watched from their homes.

One of the most contentious topics was the COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected more than 7 million Americans and killed more than 200,000. The debate moderator, Fox News’ Chris Wallace, asked Trump about the potential exposure of some of his campaign rallies during the pandemic where attendees were not wearing masks or socially distancing.

Read More: Trump, Biden lash out, interrupt each other in angry debate

Trump insisted that there were no “negative effects” that stemmed from his rallies and took a jab at Biden, arguing that the former U.S. vice president was essentially envious of his crowd turnouts. “We’ve had no negative effect. We’ve had no negative effect. And we’ve had 35 — 45,000 people at these rallies,” he said. 

Despite Trump’s attempt to downplay the potential dangers of his rallies, Twitter was quick to point out that former Republican presidential candidate and Trump campaign staffer Herman Cain died of COVID-19 complications just weeks after attending a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“Donald Trump is a LIAR!!! He just said that his rallies during a pandemic have had no negative affect on people? Ask Herman Cain how that worked out for him! And that rally was INDOORS! He is the Spreader-in-Chief!,” tweeted veteran White House correspondent and author April Ryan.

MSNBC anchor Melvin Craig similarly tweeted, “So far we’ve had no problem whatsoever.”- @realDonaldTrump on his rallies. A reminder. Herman Cain died from Covid after attending a rally.”

The tweets pointing out Cain’s death and its possible connection to Trump’s rally in Tulsa continued to pour in. “Trump: “we’ve had no problems whatsoever” with people getting covid at our rallies Herman Cain: Herman Cain’s zombie twitter: “Wait, I…” tweeted actress and director Aisha Tyler.

Another Twitter user wrote, “Did Donald Trump really say they’ve had no problems with COVID related to his rallies? Did I dream up Herman Cain’s death? These black republicans be out here c00ning for Massah and they don’t give a sh*t about your ass.”

While it is largely believed Cain, who was not wearing a mask, contracted the virus at Trump’s rally, both a Cain representative and the White House have tried to downplay the connection.

“I realize people will speculate about the Tulsa rally, but Herman did a lot of traveling the past week,” said Dan Calabrese, the editor of Cain’s website. “I don’t think there’s any way to trace this to one specific contact that caused the infection. We’ll never know.”

What’s more, local health officials in Tulsa said in July that Trump’s rally and protests that took place there around the same time “more than likely” contributed to a surge of COVID-19 cases in the city.

Boy, 5, uses Alexa to save mom’s life during epileptic seizure

The child used the popular app to call for help after his mother suffered a medical emergecny.

A 5-year-old Pennsylvania boy is being hailed a hero after he used Amazon’s Alexa to call for help while his mother suffered an epileptic seizure.

The child’s grandmother, Natalie Neal, says she programed the Alexa app with her phone number so that her grandson, Tyrion Spann, can call her anytime, PEOPLE reports. 

″I just thought for, you know, him to tell me, ‘Hey grandmom, I love you. Hey Gigi, I love you,’″ Neal explained to ABC affiliate WPVI.

″A week and a half later, he’s calling because he can’t wake his mom up, so it was a very smart thing to do without knowing I was being smart,” she added.

Tyrion’s mother Jasmine Neal suffered a severe epileptic seizure on Sept. 20, and once she lost consciousness, the child called his grandmother.

″I thought he was laughing or joking and it turns out he was crying,″ Neal recalled. ″I’m telling him to calm down and he told me he couldn’t wake his mom up. So, of course, being her mom, my heart kind of fell to the ground a little bit.″

Neal’s daughter has lived with epilepsy all her life.

″As a parent with a child who has epilepsy, who lives on her own, that’s a call I didn’t want to get because it could mean anything,″ she shared with the outlet. ″It could literally mean anything.″

After receiving the concerning call from her grandson about her daughter, Neal called 911.

″I’m old school, so we were trained to call 911,” Neal explained to the outlet. “And I think in current times, our children have to learn how to use Alexa, the technology, to their advantage.”

Jasmine was taken to a local hospital and was stabilized.

When she woke up and learned how her son used Alexa during a family crisis, she said, “My baby saved me.”

Neal says her daughter is doing well following her medical emergency.
