Ahmaud Arbery’s Mother Says Kanye West’s ‘White Lives Matter’ Shirt Helps to ‘Legitimize Extremist Behavior’
The backlash against Kanye West for weaving “White Lives Matter” shirts into his recent YZY SZN 9 Paris Fashion Week show continued on Wednesday (Oct. 5) when the family of Ahmaud Arbery called the artist now known as Ye out for what they described as a hurtful, duplicitous publicity stunt. “As a result of his display ‘White Lives Matter’ started trending in the U.S., which would direct support and legitimize extremist behavior, [much] like the behavior that took the life of her son,” said Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, in a statement to Rolling Stone through her attorney Lee Merritt. “That is the thing that Wanda and families like hers continue to fight against.” Arbery, 25, was killed in Feb. 2020 when he went for a jog in Georgia and was chased down by three white neighbors and sh...

‘The Masked Singer’ Has a Very Brady Reveal: Watch
The Masked Singer is well and truly hitting its groove, with another bunch of celebrities unmasked and sent home Wednesday night (Oct. 5). Episode 3 was “TV Theme Night.” And there was twice the fun, with a double hit of reveals. The first act sent home, the Mummies, were nothing short of “TV royalty,” in the words of host Nick Cannon. Status doesn’t count here. After performing the theme from The Monkees, the Mummies unraveled with the viewers at home. It wasn’t just one Mummy, it was a Brady Bunch. The ancient trio was none other than the Mike Lookinland, Barry Williams and Christopher Knight — better known as brothers Bobby, Greg and Peter of 1960s and ‘70s sitcom The Brady Bunch.
