New disturbing revelations about Kanye West

Kanye West West has been swimming in murky water for months, if not years, but in 2022, the controversial rapper’s fall is drastic. This fall has just increased in flow due to some disturbing information about him.

According to former Yeezy team members, West allegedly used explicit images of Kim Kardashian and used intimidation and manipulation to gain full control over his employees.

Adidas executives additionally reportedly received a scathing letter following a shocking event in 2017 and they did nothing to support a lady who was bullied by West.

In August 2017, during a meeting to present the latest creation of a Yeezy shoe, a young woman fell victim to Ye’s disturbing personality…

West reportedly started yelling that the sneakers weren’t up to snuff, and he approached a senior employee, staring at her and yelling that he wanted her to make him a shoe he could ****.

Regarding explicit images, during meetings or job interviews, he presented intimate photos of Kardashian, and even showed videos of her…

Last Tuesday night, an open letter written by former members of the Yeezy team emerged, and it reveals that the Adidas company was aware of West’s erratic and disturbing behavior, Rolling Stone also reports.

“There was no accountability. Bad things would happen, with executives in the room – VP level or higher – and nothing was done. You would still show up for work the next day,” the letter reads.

West is said to be truly addicted to pornography and this addiction would make him manipulative and repulsive, according to everyone who worked with him at Adidas.

Gerrit Cole is the biggest cheater in the MLB according to Alex Manoah

Toronto Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah has called Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees the biggest cheater in the MLB.

He dropped this little bomb on Serge Ibaka‘s podcast, “How Hungry Are You?

As soon as the question about the biggest cheater in baseball according to him was delivered, he didn’t hesitate: “Gerrit Cole”.

“He cheated. He used a lot of sticky stuff to improve his pitches. And he got called out for it,” the Jays pitcher added.

Note that MLB has begun to crack down on any gumming substances that improve grip on the ball in 2021. Despite this ban, some pitchers manage to hide the substances and still use them today.

In fact, early in the 2022 campaign, Cole was accused of cheating in a duel against the Cleveland Guardians…

Manoah and Cole are most likely not great friends, as Manoah pointed out at the time “Cole’s blatant cheating when he was a member of the Houston Astros and the team used trash cans to signal pitches to hitters.”

Cole retaliated toward this one last August. In a game against the Yankees, Manoah hit Aaron Judge, and Cole rushed out of the dugout demanding the official eject him from the game.

In short, it looks like the two men are not ready to be in the same party!

Did this Chiefs player lied to his fans?

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who was at home watching his family from the house due to an abdominal injury, tried to fool the internet into believing he smashed his TV.

During the dramatic game where the Los Angeles Chargers led for most of the night, emotions were so high, Hardman broke his huge TV.

However, his team was able to wrestle the game away from the Chargers thanks to the magic of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce late in the game.

With 31 seconds left in the game, Mahomes threw the ball to his partner Kelce for the final touchdown of the game, which ended 30-27 in favor of the Chiefs.

In short, the 24-year-old allegedly tried to make it look like he broke his screen, but according to web investigation pros, it was a YouTube app that was used instead.

The image he tweeted looks a lot like a video you can put on your TV to make it look like it’s broken.

As of this writing, the NFL player has not yet confessed…

Brigitte Bardot defends the “massacred” deers of Longueuil

Brigitte Bardot did not hesitate to join the mayor of Longueuil, Catherine Fournier, to stop the “massacre” of deer in Michel-Chartrand Park, reports the QMI Agency.

Bardot remains a very vocal activist, she once opposed the seal hunt, we remember.

In a letter from her foundation earlier this week, she expressed concern that the deer in Longueuil would be “massacred.

According to Mrs. Bardot, hunters are planning to create chaos in a “family” place, where 100 deer, including babies born last spring, will be “massacred in the heart of a beautiful environment”.

About this potential deer hunt, it would be done with a crossbow, a hunting technique that is banned in France because it is very dangerous. Especially since the animal is not guaranteed to be killed in the immediate future.

Let’s remember that the city of Longueuil wishes to authorize crossbow hunting in Michel-Chartrand Park with the objective of killing a hundred deer to avoid overpopulation.

Gisele BĂŒndchen is in love!

Gisele BĂŒndchen is already strutting around with a new man, namely Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu teacher!

The new lovebirds were spotted in Costa Rica shortly after Tom Brady and BĂŒndchen officially divorced, showing that she may have had other good reasons for leaving the 45-year-old quarterback, reports Page Six.

The new lovers ate at Koji, located in the province of Puntarenas, in the company of the two children of Tom and Gisele, Benjamin and Vivian.

Many questions are still open.

For example, was this love affair initiated while Gisele was still with Tom?

We do not know exactly the details of this new love story, but note that Gisele and Valente have already met in 2021 for a shoot with the magazine Dust.

Tom doesn’t seem to be affected by this sad chapter anymore though, since he imposed himself on Sunday morning (in Germany) leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory against the Seattle Seahawks 21-16.

Brady said he was willing to make some sacrifices to keep his relationship with Gisele alive, while the Brazilian supermodel felt she had given him enough time to change the situation, but to no avail.
