Celebrity reactions to Tory Lanez allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion last week have been disappointing to say the least. So many people from 50 Cent to regular fans have turned a serious domestic violence incident into a joke. Now, sadly, we can add Draya Michele to the list of celebrities who are making light of it all.  On July 22nd, the Basketball Wives star co-hosted the  Wine & Weed podcast alongside media personality  Van Lathan. Draya added insult to injury by comparing the situation to the rocky relationship between Bobby Brown and the late great Whitney Houston.  She said:

“I predict that they had some sort of Bobby and Whitney love that you know, drove them down this Snapped-esque type of road and, I’m here for it. I like that. I want you to like me so much you shoot me in the foot, too.”

This was…stupid as hell to say the least. Seeing Draya promote domestic violence and act like it’s all good is a bad look. A bad look to which Megan responded to on Twitter:

Draya’s insensitive comments are sure as hell dumb, especially considering the fact that days before, Meg took to twitter to express that she felt “hurt” and “traumatized” that the internet was poking fun at the shooting. She wrote in a tweet:

“Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own. It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized”

After the backlash, Draya quickly jumped on Twitter and responded with an apology:

“I truly don’t glorify domestic violence… I was trying to say just love me deeply.  But while trying to be funny, I offended many, including meg.  And I’m sorry.”

That didn’t stop the internet from BLASTING Draya for her stupidity. It seems like every time she has someone’s good graces she does something like this. SMH

Hit the flip to see it all unfold.

“It’s really off of Draya to not only refer to Megan thee Stallion’s shooting as a “Bobby + Whitney” sort of relationship but she also glamorized domestic violence in the same breath. What a mess.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
