Oprah & Gayle Open Up About Their Friendship

In Melinda French Gates’ new series, ‘The Moments That Make Us,’ Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King discussed their enduring bond and the power of close friendship.

Chile! While speaking with Melinda, Oprah explained that people used to think she and Gayle were lesbian lovers due to their close bond.

“I think we’ve shared pretty much everything, and I would have to say, it wasn’t even a matter of navigation. You know, for years, people used to say we were gay, and listen, we were up against that forever. And people still may think it,” Oprah explained.

Furthermore, Gayle jokingly added that the false accusations were preventing her from getting a date.

“I used to say, ‘Oprah, you gotta do a show on this because it’s hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re gay. Because if we were gay, we’d tell you!” Gayle said.

However, Winfrey noted that she believed these comments stemmed from how rare it is to see two women with such a strong friendship.

“The reason why I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier, not happy, but happier for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself. And I feel as happy as she does — I can’t be happier than, cannot surpass Gayle. You cannot out-happy her. I am equally as happy for her,” Oprah continued.

Social Media Reacts

Commenters under The Shade Room’s Instagram report seemed to agree with Oprah, stating that it’s possible to have true friends and share a close bond.

Instagram user @thedirtybagpodcast wrote, “All jokes aside, a lot of us women don’t know what it is to have a friend happier for your wins than you are. Let’s be honest.” 

Instagram user @e.berrie wrote, “They’re not bumpin cats. Y’all need to stop. Some people just have a close bond and that’s all it is to it.” 

While Instagram user @stacyreed1011 wrote, “We don’t believe that. She did an interview with Whitney and Whitney was talking about Bobby and she immediately references Gayle in the same conversation when she was talking about an intimate relationship.” 

Then Instagram user @indeskribeabull wrote, “Why y’all still tryna “out” people in 2024?” 

Another Instagram user @teisha_monroe wrote, “I can tell by these comments y’all have NEVER had a True friendship with anyone and I’m almost sure it’s b/c of YOU. ” 

Finally, Instagram user @fitnessbyroy_ wrote, “Call me Patrick, because I have never heard of these rumors.” 

More Details On Oprah & Gayle’s Friendship

PEOPLE reports that Oprah and Gayle’s 50-year friendship began when they worked at Baltimore’s WJZ-TV. The outlet further revealed that during a major snowstorm, Oprah invited Gayle to stay at her home for the night, which helped deepen their bond.

According to The Cut, Oprah stated during the interview that she would always choose a lifelong friendship over a bad marriage.

“I think I’d rather have one lifetime ‘truth bond’ with a platonic friend than a ten-year dud of a marriage with a man.”

B.Simone Comments On Soulja Boy’s Music & He Goes Off

The drama began after the stand-up comic shared her disinterest in Soulja Boy’s music. On an episode of B. Simone’s podcast, ‘Let’s Try This Again,’ she expressed her feelings about the rapper’s music being played during a photoshoot. She said, “I don’t think anybody is ever saying put on Soulja Boy.” She added, “I have never once said, ‘Please put on Crank Dat…'”

“I would never say that. Why would I say that?” she quipped. Despite making her jokey jokes, the podcaster said that “he is a hip hop legend” and Souja deserves “respect.”

The ‘Let Me Get Em’ rapper caught wind of B. Simone’s comments and subsequently roasted her on live-stream. He insulted B. Simone’s pixie cut, stating, “I got more hair than you.” Additionally, he called her “ugly” and said, “You will never have kids.” Furthermore, he expressed that he didn’t think the podcaster was a good comedian and irrelevant in her field.

The Comedian Defends Her Comments

B. Simone stepped into The Shade Room in disbelief that the rapper was upset. She wrote, “This is nuts. I literally say, ‘We have to put some respect on Soulja Boy name. He is a trendsetter & an innvoator in the culture. So I respect Soulja Boy’ I literally say he’s a hip hop legend. God bless you @souljaboy Hope you good. But LTTA. TAP IN. Love yall.”

B. Simone’s bestie and fellow comedian @yesimprettyvee came to her defense, writing, “Don’t play with me @souljaboy. You better play with them other ones like this but not @bsimone. Again she said what she said, now WHAT.” She added, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus you lying creature.”

The content creator chose to use Soulja’s roast session as an opportunity to promote her podcast. She added, “Come on the pod whenever you ready to talk about resilience & never giving up…. I’ll pray for you and we can hug it out @souljaboy [heart emoji] @letstrythis again.” 

Soulja Boy later responded to B. Simone’s comment, writing, “you hurt my feelings [crying face emoji].”

“Did she say something wrong ? lol who cares if she isn’t a direct fan. She gave flowers,” @thee_conservative_misfit_ said about B. Simone’s comments.

“Yo this guy needs a fully produced show, I swear he would be the first rapper with his own fully produced shoes on YouTube,” @ionlylikeme said.

Former PepsiCo janitor turned exec Richard Montañez is suing the company for denying that he invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

The Associated Press reports the lawsuit states that his career was destroyed after the food giant questioned his claim.

RELATED: Mountain Dew To Release New Malt Liquor Version ‘Hard Mountain Dew’ Early Next Year

Richard Montañez Sues PepsiCo For Defamation

Montañez filed the lawsuit on July 10 in a California Superior Court. He claims PepsiCo initially supported him and promoted his story and the movie that was created about his invention. However, they later switched up on him and sided with former employees who claimed he was not the inventor. Richard is now suing for damages for discrimination, fraud, and defamation. The former PepsiCo employee says the company’s stance hurt his speaking career and other potential opportunities. Richard says a documentary on his life has since been axed due to the company’s new stance.

According to the lawsuit, Richard’s story begins working for PepsiCo as a janitor at its Frito-Lay plant in Rancho Cucamonga, California, in 1977. He is the son of a Mexican immigrant and grew up in a migrant labor camp. One day, a machine at Montañez’s plant broke down, leaving a batch of unflavored Cheetos. He subsequently took them home. Richard experimented with chili powder in an attempt to replicate the flavor of elote, a popular Mexican grilled seasoned corn. After he achieved the desired taste, he asked to meet with PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico in 1991 to pitch his spicy Cheetos. Richard was confident the Latino community would be feelin’ the new snack. The lawsuit states Enrico was down to have a meeting and liked Montañez’s presentation. As a result, he directed the company to develop a new form of Cheetos.

 Richard Montañez’s Enormous Success Then Decline

The lawsuit states that PepsiCo sent Richard on speaking engagements and fully backed his claim that he created the spicy chips. However, he says the company’s research and development departments shut him out of its discussions and testing. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos hit the market in 1992, and Richard says he continued to develop more snacks like Flamin’ Hot Popcorn and Lime and Chili Fritos. As a result, he was promoted to business development manager in Southern California. Montañez was eventually promoted to PepsiCo’s vice president of multicultural marketing and sales. He was in such high demand for speaking engagements that he retired from the company in 2019 to become a motivational speaker full-time. Talk about a come-up story! Devon Franklin, Meagan Good’s ex-husband, produced the film ‘Flamin’ Hot’ in 2023 based on his life.

PepsiCo became Montañez’s opp in 2021 after aligning with a Los Angeles Times article claiming he was not involved in creating Flamin’ Hot. Former employees said they were already working on spicy snacks when Montañez approached them, and they created the name ‘Flamin’ Hot,’ not Richard. Entertainment Weekly reported in 2023 that Frito-Lay did not deny the story. However, they stated, “the information we shared with the media has been misconstrued by some.” Furthermore, the company said this “…resulted in confusion on where we stand” and has put a “strain on our valued friendship with Richard Montañez…” Moreover, the brand said Richard “is an important part of [their] history” and credited him in part for their “success.”

The company should clarify their statements because Richard is seemingly hawt that they’re playin’ with his name.

 Kamala Harris Calls Out Donald Trump

Roommates, if you recall, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump had their first debate in June. With Biden now withdrawing from the presidential election, Donnie will have to face off against Kamala in the second debate on September 10.

Well, it looks like  Trump is not too fond of going head-to-head with VP Harris, as she seemingly called him out on X (formerly Twitter) and accused him of “backpedaling” out of their scheduled confrontation.

“Trump agreed on a September 10th debate.

It now appears he’s backpedaling.

Voters deserve to see the split screen that exists on a debate stage.

I’m ready. So let’s go.”

Social Media Reacts

Commenters under The Shade Room’s Instagram report quickly reacted to VP Kamala Harris’ statement about Trump. Many social media users seemed to think she was giving “knuck if you buck” energy!

Then Instagram user @keke__wilson wrote, “She got her Vaseline on her face and chucks laced up lol come outside Donald ”

Here’s What Trump Said About The Second Debate

Since President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race on July 21, Donald Trump has continued to rant on social media.

Kamala’s comments followed Trump’s outburst on Truth Social on Monday, July 22. According to The New Republic, Trump criticized ABC News, which will host the second presidential debate on September 10. With the change in Democratic nominees, Trump will now face Harris onstage.

“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business. They try to make Crooked Joe into a brave warrior because he didn’t have the guts to fight it out — He quit! They then tried to make Sleepy look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not. ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, is not worthy of holding a Debate, of which I hope there will be many!” Trump wrote.

On Thursday, July 25, footage of Senator Vance speaking at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2021 surfaced. The footage initially went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, after being posted by user @patrynard.

In the clip, Vance explained that when parents “go to the polls,” they “should have more power” than “people who don’t have kids.”

“If you don’t have as much as an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn’t get nearly the same voice,” Vance explained.

Vance explained that parents should and would ultimately get a “bigger say” in how the country’s democracy functions.

Vance reportedly attended Ohio State University and Yale Law School ahead of his time serving in the Senate.

The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has reportedly issued an executive order to remove encampments for unhoused individuals in California.

More Details On Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order

According to CNN, Governor Newsom issued the executive order on Thursday, July 25. The outlet reports that the legislation calls on “state officials to begin taking down homeless encampments.”

“This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them — and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same,” Newson reportedly explained. “There are simply no more excuses. It’s time for everyone to do their part.”

The outlet reports that as of last month, the amount of unhoused people within Los Angeles sits around 45,253. Meanwhile, the number of unhoused people in Los Angeles County is around 75,312. In total, the outlet alleges that the state “has the largest homeless population.”

Fox 35 Orlando reports that despite Newson’s order, “the decision to remove the encampments will be up to local authorities.” The outlet adds that Newsom cannot force local authorities to carry out his order. However, he and his administration “can apply pressure by withholding money [from] counties and cities.”

How Have Areas In California Reacted To The Governor’s Decision?

According to CNN, Parisa Safarzadeh, a spokesperson for the mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, has alleged that efforts to remove encampments in the area have already been well on their way.

“Our city encampment teams and street outreach staff have been going out every day to bring people indoors, and to clean and clear encampments,” Safarzadeh reportedly told the outlet. “This is why we are seeing a five-year low in the City’s tent count on our streets.”

Furthermore, the outlet notes that encampment “cleanup” efforts have also been launched in the Venice, Hollywood, and Skid Row areas of Los Angeles. However, CNN adds that those efforts saw “temporary declines” in the level of unhoused individuals before those numbers resurged.

Ohio & Florida Recently Passed Legislation Related To Unhoused Individuals

California isn’t the only state that has issued legislation regarding unhoused individuals. As The Shade Room previously reported, in March, a bill was sent to Governor Ron DeSantis with the initiative of banning unhoused people from sleeping on public property.

Meanwhile, in June, the Supreme Court ruled that unhoused individuals in Ohio can now be ticketed for sleeping outside, per CNN.

Whew! Roomies, how far would you go for money? It looks like a Tennessee store clerk was willing to take it to criminal levels over a winning lottery ticket. Now, Meet Patel is out of a job and up with the criminal justice department!

Store Clerk Steals Lottery Ticket

A man became a millionaire last week, thanks to authorities who informed him of his lottery win. CNN reports that the lottery winner learned of his $1 million jackpot when police told him his ticket was stolen.

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said the incident began when the man bought two $20 Diamond and Gold lottery tickets at a Shell gas station in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. PEOPLE reported that the customer had the 23-year-old clerk check if the scratched lottery tickets were winners.

Detective Steve Craig told WTVF that you only need to scratch off the bar code to check to see if you’ve won.

“If you scratch off the front bar code, it will tell you if it’s a winner or not, regardless of whether you scratch off everything showing how much you won,” Craig explained.

CNN revealed that one of the man’s tickets had a $40 prize, while the other was worth $1 million. Authorities said footage showed the Tennessee store clerk first throwing the $1 million ticket in the trash and then pocketing it later.

“Mr. Patel is then seen later in the video celebrating in the store after scratching off the front of the ticket and learning it was a $1 million winner,” Detective Dennis Ward said in the news release.

What’s Next For The Meet Patel?

Per CNN, prizes over $200,000 must be claimed at the Tennessee Lottery’s Nashville office. However, Meet Patel’s attempt to claim the prize raised suspicion.

“He went to the Tennessee Lottery Commission to claim the ticket as his own and through their normal line of questioning there were enough red flags for them to say, ‘Hey, you need to get all of your affairs in order and come back to us and we’re gonna hold on to the ticket,” Detective Craig told WTVF.

As reported by CNN, Meet Patel is being detained at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on a theft charge exceeding $250,000. His bond is currently $100,000, and his hearing is set for July 30.

Earlier this month, Boosie shared his emotional response to the closing of a federal gun-related case. A San Diego judge had dismissed the charge of possession of a weapon by a felon, which police bagged him for after seeing a firearm in his waistband in a May 2023 social media video.

Rapper Reacts To New San Diego Possession Charges

On X (formerly Twitter), Boosie said he learned of his new possession charge while on vacation with 30 of his family members. So, what Boosie believed was a closed chapter has re-opened.

Southern District of California U.S. Attorney Tara McGrath filed a new indictment against the 41-year-old on Friday, July 10. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael G. Wheat and Ashley A. Kaino-Allen are also listed in the indictment documents obtained by Fox 5 San Diego.

“I’M ON VACATION WITH MY FAMILY MY LAWYER CALL ME N SAY THIS FEDERAL PROSECUTOR M.WHEAT HAS INDICTED ME AGAIN ON THE SAME CHARGE N ADDED A CHARGE THAT I WAS A DRUG ATTACK AROUND. A ATTACK AROUND A FIREARM SMH .WHY YOU DIDNT CHARGE ME WITH THAT THE FIRST TIME? THE JUDGE HAS RULED .AT THIS POINT YOU MAKING THIS A CIRCUS .THIS HAS TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL,” Boosie wrote on X in all caps.

He added that the new indictment is a demonstration of “how far these Devils will go to try n stop a successful Black man with a voice.” He also accused Prosecutor Wheat of having a “serious vendetta” against him and wanting to be a “character in a [film camera emoticon].”

Additionally, Boosie accused the prosecutor of giving fan energy, down to his alleged behavior in the courtroom.

“HE JUST DOESNT RESPECT THE COURTS. HE RACIST N HAS NO RESPECT FOR THE COURTSIF I WASNT BOOSIE THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO ME . THIS SAME MAN LOOKED AT ME SAID “WIPE ME DOWN” ON MY FIRST COURT APPEARANCE lol HES OBSESSED.”IVE NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE THIS N MY DAM LIFE.”

He added his message declaring that God has his back and that the “hardest battles” are given to the “strongest Souljas.”  “This man doesn’t respect the law. Tell a president to pardon this bulls*t,” he said.

The Details On Boosie’s New Charges

Boosie, real name Torrence Ivy Hatch, faces two counts of firearm possession. The charges cite interstate commerce as a convicted felon and knowingly possessing a firearm while dealing with abuse of a controlled substance.

Fox 5 San Diego reports that Hatch could face a maximum of 10 years if he’s convicted on the second charge of unlawful possession while dealing with substance abuse.

As mentioned, San Diego cops arrested him in May 2023 while he was in town to film a music video and perform at a club. Police learned he had a firearm in his possession after seeing it on his waistband on Instagram Live. San Francisco PD reportedly used a helicopter to track Boosie down and coordinate a traffic stop.

During that stop, they found two loaded handguns, which the rapper said belonged to his bodyguard. SFPD took the guard into custody, but they ultimately only charged Boosie.

His arraignment is reportedly scheduled for August 2.

Roxie Washington Weighs In On Sonya Massey Shooting

Washington spoke with TMZ in an interview published on Thursday, July 25. Gianna’s mother explained that things could have “been handled in a different way.”

“They took this lady’s life. They shot this lady in the head,” she said. “Now, granted, if she had any mental issues — anything like that, things could’ve been handled in a different way… You have tasers, but you pull out your gun? To kill this lady?”

As the conversation continued, Washington shared a message for Masey and her family.

“My heart goes out to them. My heart breaks for them,” she explained. “I know there’s no way of ever, like, getting over it because you don’t…”

Washington explained that this is why she is “standing behind our Vice President” to “make it to President.”

“So we can get the George Floyd Act — the bill passed,” she said. “Because I feel like they [police officers] just need more training.”

The mother went on to say that if officers are “killing people or taking people’s lives” then you “don’t need to be a police officer.”

“That’s not the job for you,” Washington concluded.

More Details On The Fatal Shooting Of Sonya Massey

As The Shade Room previously reported, Sonya Massey was a 36-year-old woman who called officers to her home around 12:50 a.m. on July 6. The woman reportedly believed there was an intruder in or near her home.

Upon their arrival, the two officers reportedly noted she was “calm, perhaps unwell, not aggressive.” After entering her home, they noticed she had water boiling and instructed her to remove it from the stove.

At that point, as Massey complied with their order, the interaction escalated. One officer, Deputy Sean Grayson, ultimately drew his weapon on Massey and threatened to shoot her in the head. Furthermore, Grayson then fired three shots at the woman.

Massey was reportedly pronounced dead at a hospital at 1:41 a.m.

Since then, Deputy Grayson has been terminated from the police force and indicted on five counts. Additionally, those charges include three counts of first-degree murder, per The Shade Room.

Furthermore, CNN has reported that Grayson has pled not guilty to those charges as he awaits trial.

Meanwhile, multiple celebrities such as Tia Mowry and Solange Knowles have reacted to the fatal shooting of Massey. Additionally, her son, Malachi Hill, has also broken his silence on her tragic death.
