Tiffany Haddish Admits To Dating For Free Meals When She Was Broke, Social Media Cooks Her
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: River Callaway / Getty One of the most exhausting topics spotted on social media is dating, whether it be about keeping your crushes in your tax bracket, splitting bills 50-50, or tricking at restaurants. (Paul Pierce even hopped in on the debate, saying that marriage is for 'poor' people and only benefits women, while explaining his mother getting married at 70, but that's another topic.) Men have accused women of only going on dates for free meals, and now one star has admitted to doing that when she was down bad financially. During a recent Instagram Live session, frequent oversharer and actress Tiffany Haddish talked about her come-up and felt terrible when she went on dates for freebies. 'Do you know how horrible it is to go on a date with a guy because you need a meal?' she asked . 'I don't even want to be nice to this person or get to know him. I'm hungry.' Looking back on her actions, Haddish didn't enjoy the wining and dining b ecause she 'cares too much about other people.' While the struggle is no longer that real for the actress and comedian, she understands that it is for so many, and inflation will only make it worse. 'In this past election, we were told the price of food would come down, but it seems like it's just going up,' she said. 'We're about to learn how amazing the human body can be when you don't eat.' Haddish gave a peek into her current dating life last year during an episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, where she explained the dynamics of dating while celibate. 'I just feel like, dang, I am the prize, and these dudes gotta qualify. When I think about my track record of like who I lay down with it, it takes like a year or so for me to even warm up,' she said. See how social media is reacting to her free meal admission below.

Former first lady Michelle Obama has been brutally roasted online for comments she made during a podcast. Accompanied by her brother Craig Robinson, the two discussed deportation on the podcast 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty'. Obama and Robinson discussed their experiences growing up, when Shetty asked about recent tests of fear they've had. Michelle brought up the recent climate of what's happening to immigrants in the United States. 'I do still worry about my daughters in the world, even though they are somewhat recognisable,' she said. 'I worry for people of colour all over this country, and I don't know that we will have the advocates to protect everybody, and that frightens me, it keeps me up at night.'

Michelle Obama Reveals What Keeps Her 'Up At Night' About Trump's Second Term
Former first lady Michelle Obama has opened up about her fears for the safety of immigrants and people of color due to President Donald Trump's immigration policies in his second term. 'I don't know that we will have the advocates to protect everybody, and that makes me — that frightens me, it keeps me up at night,' said Obama, who appeared with her brother Craig Robinson on Monday's edition of the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast. Obama and Robinson, earlier in the podcast, discussed their experiences with racial discrimination. Shetty then asked the former first lady about her 'hardest recent test' of fear she's experienced due to the color of her skin. 'Well, in this current climate, for me, it's what's happening to immigrants,' replied Obama, noting that she no longer has the 'fear' herself because she commutes in a motorcade, although she still worries about her two 'somewhat recognizable' daughters. 'My fears are what I know is happening out there in streets all over the city. And now that we have leadership that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs and who doesn't, and we know that those decisions aren't being made with courts and with due process.' She then brought up a story Robinson had shared moments earlier about being stopped as a child in Chicago by a Black police officer who accused him of stealing a bicycle he'd bought. ″[They're making decisions like,] 'You don't look like somebody that belongs,' you know, 'I can determine just by looking at you that you're ... a good person or you're not a good person,'' she said. 'There's so much bias and so much racism and so much ignorance that fuels those kinds of choices, I worry for people of color all over this country.' Obama's remarks arrive less than a week after she took to her 'IMO' podcast with Robinson to reveal why she skipped out on Trump's second inauguration despite the attendance of her husband, former President Barack Obama. 'People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart,' said the former first lady of her decision, which fueled divorce rumors. 'It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was right for me, that was a hard thing for me to do.'

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy shares one of the letters he wrote to her
Six months after former One Direction star Liam Payne's death, his girlfriend is speaking out for the first time. While a guest on the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast, Kate Cassidy talked about her life with Payne, the last goodbye they shared before his death, and she read one of the many letters he wrote her during their two-year relationship. Payne died on Oct. 16, 2024, while vacationing in Argentina. Cassidy had been with him in Argentina but caught a flight back to the United States a few days earlier where she and Payne had just bought a home. Payne died of multiple trauma from a fall, the BBC reported. He was 31 years old. During her conversation with Shetty, Cassidy shared one of the many letters that Payne had written to her. This particular letter was given to her with a gift. The letter read: 'The reason I picked this watch out for you is because it doesn't have any numbers on it, and my love for you is endless. It literally means eternity. So now every time you look down at your wrist, you can know and remember that my love for you is timeless. We have all the time in the world to learn our love language for each other, and I hope and pray that I get this right for you. With every tick and every tock this watch makes from the second onwards, I love you with all my heart, Kaitlin, and I won't lose you. You're 444.' As Cassidy got emotional reading the letter, she noted, 'It's just so hard to process that we thought we had all this time, and he thought we had all this time, and it was just taken away.' As the 26-year-old continued, she also opened up about their final day together. She explained that she and Payne often shared heartfelt goodbyes with each other regardless of where they were going. 'On our last day, we woke up, we had an amazing breakfast. We were in the countryside. We went horseback riding, and I had a later on evening flight,' Cassidy said of the final day they spent together in Argentina. 'The way me and Liam would say goodbye to each other wasn't just like, 'Oh, I'll see you later.' Majority of the time it was this heartfelt, long goodbye for at least five minutes of just hugging, 'I'm gonna miss you. I love you,'' Cassidy explained. 'On the last day in Argentina, my car was in the driveway, and we went back into the guest house, grabbed my suitcase, and we were sitting on the couch, and I just kept going on and on and on about how much I love him and how much he means to me, and how much I'm going to miss him, and that I can't wait for him to already be back in Florida, because we were starting this new chapter of our life.' In one of the last things Payne said to Cassidy, the singer laughed at the influencer, telling her that she was going to miss her flight. 'He interrupted me, and he just said, 'Kate, like you're gonna miss your flight, your car's in the driveway. You're acting like this is the last time you're ever gonna see me again.'' 'I just laughed back. I was just like, 'I know I'm being silly. I need to get in the car. I can't miss my flight,'' Cassidy recalled. 'Just to even look back in time and just know that really was the last time I was able to see him. It's just so chilling.' Though it haunts Cassidy, she admits that final goodbye also brings her peace. 'I think that the way that we said goodbye to each other, I'm so blessed, and this is where I get that peace from it, that it was that heartfelt, beautiful.'

Selena Gomez feels ‘sad' over weight comments
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Selena Gomez feels 'sad' to read so many comments about her weight. The pop star/actress, 32, has admitted she tries not to look at nasty posts on social media but she's 'human' and 'sometimes I read things' - insisting she 'will never' look like a model and putting fluctuations in her size down to the medication she takes for chronic autoimmune disorder lupus. During an appearance on the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast, Selena explained: 'This isn't news to anybody that obviously women have a lot more intense feelings from their appearance ... 'When I get prepared for an event, 90 per cent of the time I'm just like: 'I just hope I can take the picture and sit down' ... '[I try not to look at comments but] so many different things that come up in my face, that I can't help but see … I fall victim to looking at things.' The 'Emilia Perez' star added: 'It's the character [she's playing] that gets judged: It's the way I'm not white enough, I'm not Mexican enough … nobody cares about those kind of things with men. 'My weight's a big one too. Everyone just has something to say and it's really making me sad and - not even sad 'cause, I'm not a victim, everyone - I just think it's made me a tad bitter and I feel really guilty for saying that but it's true ... ' Selena explained she has taken all her social media apps off her phone, but she still sees nasty comments. She said: 'I'm human and sometimes I read things. But I do, most of the time, ignore everything. I don't have anything on my phone at that moment. So, there are ways to combat it. 'I'm not in, like: 'I hate it'. I understand the power of what social media is. It's just tricky.'
