  • Mother Outraged After 7-Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Comes Home With Tattoo After Letting Her Spend Time With Relatives

    Mother Outraged After 7-Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Comes Home With Tattoo After Letting Her Spend Time With Relatives

    A TikTok video shows a mother’s shock at finding an alleged permanent tattoo on her 7-year-old daughter after she stayed with relatives from her father’s side of the family.

    The mother filmed herself questioning her daughter about the encounter. She asked the 7-year-old

    “Who idea was it for you to get a tattoo?”

    and the young girl responded by explaining that her aunt made the suggestion.

    The 7-year-old girl admitted that she and another girl told her aunt they didn’t have permission to get tattoos. Her mother questioned her about the incident, asking if her aunt gave her a tattoo despite knowing she didn’t have permission. 

    The girl confirmed by nodding and explaining that she was the first to get a tattoo. The mother expressed relief that her daughter went first and asked if the aunt changed the needle, to which the girl shook her head and said no. The mother then showed the heart tattoo on her daughter’s leg, and the girl confirmed that her aunt simply went ahead and did it without any prior drawing

    In a longer TikTok video, the mom addressed viewers’ questions about her calm demeanor. She explained that she has already involved the police and child protective services, but there is limited action she can take since the incident occurred out of state and she is several months pregnant. 

    Viewers also asked how her child ended up with someone who would tattoo multiple children with the same needle. The mother explained that she allowed her daughter to visit paternal relatives in an effort to provide her with companionship since she lacks siblings and peers. 

    However, her daughter’s father, who usually coordinates visitation, is now in jail. As a result, the child was under the care of her paternal grandmother, who then passed her off to the aunt. The mom discovered that the aunt’s living situation was unstable when she reported the tattoo incident to authorities. Additionally, the grandmother claimed that the tattoo was

    “henna,”

    but the mom disproved this by explaining her unsuccessful attempts to wash it off.

    Despite the disturbing nature of this news, it seems that T.I.’s son, King, has chosen to promote the challenge further. In a video shared by King himself, he can be seen encouraging a homeless man to take on the ‘one-chip challenge’ in exchange for $50. 

    In the video, King specifies that the man will only receive the money under the condition that he wait five minutes after swallowing the chip before drinking any water. This viral video has ignited significant criticism of King on various online platforms.

  • Woman Purposely Wears Hideous Wigs At Work Following Employer’s Ban On Her Pink Hair, Says ‘The Worst The Better’

    Woman Purposely Wears Hideous Wigs At Work Following Employer’s Ban On Her Pink Hair, Says ‘The Worst The Better’

    A Georgia woman is facing a hair dilemma at her new job. After being hired for a front-of-the-house position in the hospitality industry, Emily Benschoter, 29, was informed about the company’s dress code. This came as a surprise to her, as she had already been hired after a phone interview. When she inquired about the acceptability of her pink hair, the employer suggested she wear wigs as an alternative. 

    In an act of rebellion, Emily now deliberately wears awful wigs to work as a form of

    “malicious compliance,”

    she wrote in a TikTok post.

    “Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option,”

    Benschoter, told Newsweek.

    “I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair, so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.”

    The TikToker has showcased her creativity by choosing wigs that are embarrassing, alarming, and inexpensive. She has gone to great lengths to find the most outrageous options. Her followers have even joined in on the fun by purchasing wigs for her from her Amazon Wishlist.

    “It’s dehumanizing that I can’t be accepted at face value because my hair is a non-traditional color. It’s so superficial that my hair color is an obstacle,”

    she told Newsweek.

    “I prefer my pink hair, it’s me to my core. So now I purposely pick wacky wigs which is quite funny,”

    she continued.

    “The worst the wig, the better.”

    In a recent video, Benschoter is seen sporting a disheveled brown and blonde wig with bangs, and shoulder-length wavy hair that curls up and extends several inches from her head. Another wild choice includes a long, curly brown hairpiece with an impressively long beard reaching her chest.

    “When you have pink hair, but corporate does not approve, so you wear terrible wigs,”

    she wrote on TikTok.

    “I serve malicious compliance by wearing terrible wigs.”

    “It is a way to open up the conversation with the customers who think it is insane that I have to cover my pink hair,”

    she told Newsweek.

  • Indiana Police Officer Slapped With $35 Fine After Fatally Striking Pedestrian In Fifth On-Duty Collision, Victims Family Outraged

    Indiana Police Officer Slapped With $35 Fine After Fatally Striking Pedestrian In Fifth On-Duty Collision, Victims Family Outraged

    An Indiana police officer has received a $35 ticket after his police car struck and killed a local attorney, according to Insider. Fort Wayne Police Sergeant Joshua Hartup collided with Henry Najdeski at the intersection of Calhoun Street and Main Street on April 19, resulting in Najdeski’s passing three days later. 

    This incident marks the fifth on-duty crash in Hartup’s career. The Journal Gazette reported that Hannah Reid, Najdeski’s niece, expressed her dissatisfaction in a TikTok video, stating that she has paid higher fines for parking violations in the area compared to the penalty imposed on Hartup for her uncle’s tragic death.

    “This man didn’t even lose his license,”

    Reid says in the video.

    “He gets to just go back out into the world and do this to some other family. He hasn’t even apologized… How does my family seek justice from this?”

    Reid added.

    “How does anything get better? This system is so fucking broken, and I’m tired of it.”

    On August 8, Allen County Prosecutor Mike McAlexander announced that no criminal liability was found on Hartup’s part in relation to Najdseki’s death. Toxicology reports showed no drugs in Hartup’s system, and security footage confirmed he was not speeding when the accident occurred. Criminal charges were not pursued due to Indiana’s lack of a negligent homicide law. Instead, a civil infraction was filed against Hartup for failure to yield to a pedestrian.

    The vehicle Hartup was driving had no police equipment or in-car camera at the time of the incident, as reported by the Journal Gazette. It is unclear if Hartup has faced any disciplinary action for the crash. Insider contacted the Fort Wayne Police Department for comment, but no response has been received.

  • Couple claims they’re actually cousins but refuse to break up 3-year marriage: ‘I wish we were joking’

    Couple claims they’re actually cousins but refuse to break up 3-year marriage: ‘I wish we were joking’

    A married Utah couple claimed they are actually cousins and don’t plan on ending their marriage, according to the Daily Mail. Tylee and Nick Waters said they have been married for three years, but somehow had no idea they were from the same family tree.

    The couple was told they looked alike before, and now it’s pretty clear as to why in a viral TikTok, that has been viewed over 5.7 million times. The video starts out with Nick wrapping one arm around his supposed cousin-wife Tylee, as they share a kiss to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s iconic tune “Sweet Home Alabama.”

    The pair never explained how they are related, and neither did they spill the beans on how they found out. Mixed feelings flooded the couples comment section, like this reply from an angry viewer, “That’s disgusting… we are not going to take incest relationships and try and make them normal.. both of you need therapy.”

  • Ebro says Labels are Prioritizing Afrobeat Artists Above All

    Ebro says Labels are Prioritizing Afrobeat Artists Above All

    Ebro Darden, host of the Ebro in the Morning radio show, said that he has heard that major record labels are not as interested in signing rappers as they used to be.

    Darden said that he received a phone call from a source who told him that

    “many major record labels have deprioritized signing rappers.”

    The source also said that the focus is now on African music and Latin music.

    Ebro said that rappers need to

    “stop being boring and talking about the same shit over and over”

    if they want to get signed by a major label. He also said that they need to stop chasing TikTok success and focus on making good music.

    Darden’s comments come at a time when the music industry is changing rapidly. Streaming services have made it easier for artists to release their music without the help of a record label, and this has led to a decline in the power of major labels. In addition, the rise of social media has given artists a new way to promote themselves and connect with fans. This has made it even more difficult for record labels to find and sign new talent.

    Despite the challenges facing record labels, Darden believes that there is still a place for them in the music industry. He said that labels can still provide artists with valuable resources and support, such as marketing and distribution. However, he also said that labels need to be willing to change with the times. They need to be more open to signing artists from different genres and backgrounds, and they need to be willing to take risks.

  • Kentucky Teens Face Charges For TikTok Bomb Threat Trend, Police Say

    Kentucky Teens Face Charges For TikTok Bomb Threat Trend, Police Say

    Four teenagers in Kentucky are now facing charges of terrorism and harassment after making bomb threats towards their teachers as part of a disturbing trend on TikTok, reports the NY Post

    Since the start of the new school year, there have been four separate bomb threats at three high schools in Oldham County. It has been confirmed that at least three of these incidents were linked to social media.

    “The challenge encouraged students to record a video of themselves telling a teacher there was a bomb or gun in their backpack,”

    Oldham County police said in a statement.

    The students, all 15 years old, have been suspended and must undergo a mental health screening before returning to school. District officials are urging parents to educate their children about the serious consequences of making such dangerous threats.

    “Whether written or spoken, all threats are taken seriously and students need to know the repercussions of these actions, both short and long term. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress or anxiety for our students, families, and staff,”

    the district wrote in a message to parents.

  • Pink Sauce Creator Claims She’s Penniless After Being ‘Financially Sabotaged’ by Dave’s Gourmet, Company Insists $120,00 Paid

    Pink Sauce Creator Claims She’s Penniless After Being ‘Financially Sabotaged’ by Dave’s Gourmet, Company Insists $120,00 Paid

    Controversy surrounds Walmart‘s Pink Sauce, a popular condiment born from TikTok, reports Insider. Created by Chef Pii, also known as Veronica Shaw, the sauce faced safety concerns and complaints about incorrect labels and damaged bottles upon its 2022 launch. 

    In January, Shaw partnered with Dave’s Gourmet to release a shelf-stable version of the sauce, adhering to FDA guidelines and selling for $8 at Walmart. While sales figures remain undisclosed, TikTokers noticed the sauce quickly going on clearance, although it is now being sold at its original retail price on Walmart’s website. 

    In a recent TikTok video, Shaw claimed to have sold around 200,000 units. However, she took a different tone online last week, launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000 for herself. Although she didn’t directly name Dave’s Gourmet, she expressed her belief that a company is attempting to undermine her success.

    “They lied to me,”

    she wrote in the GoFundMe description, which has raised just $921 to date.

    “They are not paying me and are not being transparent about records. I have tried on multiple occasions to try and come to one accord with them but they refuse to reimburse me for marketing expenses that I spent my own funds towards….They are refusing to pay me the royalty that is owed to me.”

    Shaw claimed in her GoFundMe that she is a single mother struggling to provide food and clothes for her children, living on $20 a day and facing eviction. Dave’s Gourmet, when contacted, expressed disagreement with Shaw’s account of the situation.

    “We disagree with Ms. Shaw’s allegations,”

    a company spokesperson said.

    “Dave’s Gourmet has paid Chef Pii over $120,000 to date and it continues to make all payments as due and on time based upon the terms of the contract.”

    Dave added in a statement,

    “We’ve offered to reimburse Ms. Shaw for her lawyer’s time to go over the terms of the agreement and how it relates to the payments that were made to Ms. Shaw… She indicated that she’s open to an amicable resolution of the dispute and the parties are in discussions.”
