Transcript

Fame. Uh, he'd liked to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. Is the guy put the cock in the Peacock network? Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody aj Benzi here with fame is a bitch. This is your free show for February twenty eighth, twenty twenty four to two eight two oh two four. Don't you just love It? Got some good stuff on the Patreon page. I've got exclusive information from Heidi Flice. Spoke to her last night. The famous madam from the nineties getting

the up close and personal docu series treatment. I've got some information from her about that and other things all sexual if you will. We're talking about Don Henley and his whole situation about having to testify about that day back in nineteen eighty when he was caught in bed with an underage prostitute and a whole bunch of cocaine around and the girl had a seat. Yeah, talk about a rough nights. That was a rough night in Don Henley's past. But more

on that if you go to patreon dot com slash fames bitch. Anyhow, let's talk about Wendy Williams one more time. It's been a sad soaka. I'm sure many of you have seen the Lifetime documentary of the docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams. It's been airing incessantly. It's very sad look into her life right now. What's happened with this diagnosis of phasia and dementia that apparently she had five years ago? Now, her former DJ has claimed that her staffers

did know the extent of her illnesses. DJ Boof, you might recall, said, I don't think no one knew exactly to the extent how bad it was. I felt like people knew something was up with her, but they really didn't know. He told that the TMZ I knew it because I've been around it. It's sad to see something like that happened to her. She needs help. He said. He last spoke to her about a month ago, and he said that he kind of figured out that the team running her

court ordered guardianship were not letting her family know exactly what's going on. And he said, if you ask me, I think that Florida would be a better place for her to be because that's where her family is and she needs that twenty four hour care last time he saw, he said she was one hundred percent great. I don't know when the hell that could have been.

She was recovering and she seemed to be doing great. I don't think Wendy Williams has ever been doing great since the day she fainted on stage in the Statue of Liberty outfits. Now, this guy's comments, you have to understand now, somebody got to him. This is a complete one eighty from what he said four years ago when he claimed very cryptically online that when these staff were too afraid to speak up about her issues, which is ultimately why he

left the Wendy Williams show. And he said, and I quote yup exactly, and it's all gonna come out. Y'all have no idea what's really going on, and everyone there is afraid to speak up because they don't want to lose their jobs. This is gonna play out bad. I feel sorry for the workers and victims. It's always that way. Somebody always knows whatever. The gravy train is moving, and people are keeping their car payments and keeping

their pools heated and getting another next big house. People tend to keep their mouths shut. Went that way with Bruce Willis kept getting signed to movies. All they needed to do was put his face on the picture of a DVD cover and that movie would get millions of dollars in distribution overseas. That's what

Randall Emmett, the producer, is guilty of exploding Bruce Willis. When the guy had an earpiece in his ear, didn't know where to stand, what to do, city was in, what movie he was playing, what character he was, But they kept slapping his face on the cover of DVDs, selling these shit movies overseas. The last thirty Bruce Willis movies you can't watch. But he did that to make millions, so he could, you know, have an st egg bigger than he thought he had while he left the

career of acting with this terrible dementia diagnosis. So Wendy's son, Kevin Hunter, this is the weird thing about this kid. He revealed in that Lifetime documentary that the conditions that she's in, he says, are induced by her year's long alcohol abuse. But you know, he can't say too much because look, he's still on the mommy's care Wendy acts like she just needs personal space and peace to thrive. She's not going to thrive. She's never going

to get better than this. She's gonna stay the same, or I hate to say it, slowly or maybe even quickly get worse. If she's still drinking like we saw on the special the docuseries, I mean, you can't fuck around with that. If alcohol is poisoning her, she has had to have stopped drinking, but for five years she kept drinking even with this diagnosis. So the kid, Kevin Junior, revealed a lot more details about her

aphasia and dementia diagnosis. But he's getting some kickback. He's getting some hars criticism from people who think he's taking advantage of his mother financially. And you gotta wonder if this is the case. He on one hand, says she drank so much that it affected her headspace in her brain. If that's the case, you wonder how many things he was given by her when she was loaded and off her ass and not with all her wits. But I'll get

to that in a second. But to think that she became aware of brain damage in twenty nineteen when she was at this Florida rehab facility, but it wasn't until twenty twenty three that she received the official diagnosis of dementia and aphasia. You tell me I got some brain damage. I'm stopping what I'm doing right there. But she didn't stop, and this neurologist met with her son Kevin and her then husband, Kevin Senior, and pleaded with them to get

her healthy and sober. The doctor explained that she was suffering from alcohol related brain damage. They told that alcohol abuse had done permanent damage to the layers in her brain, and she was warned if she continued to drink the damage would only get worse. I mean, it's just it's awful to know you're heading toward that brick wall and you still keep doing what you know you're not supposed to do. Now, the thing that's really we got to talk about

this, but this kid, Kevin. I'm sorry about the gate outside this door. It shuts and opens so fucking loud. These people don't give a shit. But this kid is not a typical kid. Don't forget his mother was making upwards of ten million dollars a year for the last decade on TV. Okay, this kid has spent allegedly spent one hundred thousand dollars of his mother's money on Uber eats alone. Excuse me, let's put some things in

perspective. The kid's birthday party, his mother threw him a cost one hundred and twenty thousand, His rent was eighty thousand down in Florida, and his Uber eats exceeded one hundred thousand, and his mother apparently approved of that. She did that because she feels guilty knowing that she's living a lie, and she wants her son to keep having the finer things, the kind of keep him off her back. It's so said. By the way, he's a

big reason why her assets were frozen. Wells Fargo froze Wendy Williams accounts because of her sun's suspicious transaction. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars birthday bardy, one hundred thousand dollars in Uber eats, eighty thousand dollars rent. Excuse me, the hell are you living? What are you eating? You're getting, you know, the finest, you're getting, noble, every goddamn nice. That's ridiculous. I'm gonna try not to talk about Wendy too much because it's

just too goddamn sad. Having known her for twenty five thirty years. She's always been nice to me. I don't like that this happened to her changing gears. Paul McCartney apparently, as much as we loved the song Yesterday, as much as has been covered by twenty two hundred different artists, he still longs for yesterday. He talks about being haunted by a regretful remark he made to his late mother Mary. But mother, Mary, you know, said something wrong. I regretted, but I can't go back. This is back

in nineteen sixty five. Yesterday was pretty much McCartney's solo song. He's playing acoustic guitar. Oh, that beautiful string arrangement we know too well. People have always considered a breakup song. But there's that lyric that says I said something wrong. Now I long for yesterday. Yesterday, Well, that's actually mea culpa to his mother, And Paul said it was inspired feeling very embarrassed because I'm embarrassed my mom. Okay, it goes back to having been described

with a very posh accent. She was of rushed origin, you know, and she was a nurse, so she was way above street level. Meanwhile, she died of breast cancer when he was only fourteen years old, and he said she had something going sort of good for and she would talk we thought was a little bit posh. The one day you were in the backyard play you know, I think she said something like, Paul, when you ask if he's going, I said, I went askits ask mom, you

know you're saying the word room, And she got to be embarrassed. And I remember later thinking, God, I wish you'd never said that, you know, and it struck with me, And after she dared, thought, oh fuck, I really wish I hadn't said it. And that's what he's writing a song yesterday, and it got to him. Sometimes it's only in retrospect you can appreciate it, he says about that line. But despite his mother providing some iconic inspiration, Paul said he would take it back if he

could. That would be better. You know. I'll tell you what, gang, And I'm gonna tell you something as an older or an elder statesman, sometimes it's good to be in your sixties. You get sixties, you get to tell your younger kid exactly what life is like and what's waiting for them down on the other end of that pan I'll tell you what. It's true that the older you get, the more the regrets parlor on. And it comes on slowly, barely a whisper, but then it gets louder.

You take a good look at where you are, who you are, what you're doing, the job you work at, the friends you hang out with. Chances are you're currently your current reality probably won six ten years from now. And that's just the way of the world. So you got to act accordingly because life and the world go rushing by, and things change and a remade. And what I'm saying is this later than you think, And I realize the horizon old age and death is approaching faster and faster with every week

and every month of every year. Look, I remember not being able to wait until I got older. Now I wish I could slow the god damn process and relive the days and redo the actions that I now regret. I'm in that age and that phase. It's a bit sad and lonely. I mean, I still have a wonderful time every day, but when I really sit back and get internal the world today, it frightens me all the time.

It was not like this in my youth and my young adulthood. We're in a different time, and I've learned not to go down the rabbit hole of regret too much, because the cause for regret is repetition, the failure to learn, to grow, become better for mistakes we've made in our lives. The simple fact that Paul McCauley remembers this and it sticks with him that I'll tell you how much he's grown and the depth of his love for his mother. But it also reminds me of what Ingrid Bergman once said when I

asked what was the secret to a happy life? She said good health and allowsy memory. And you know, Bob Dylan also put it right when he said we often keep going down the highway of regret. That's a pretty good line, bulb. What if I could use it the gang. It's the pain we all feel, the pain of saying something rash to loved ones that time never heals. Most of us can't communicate our sorrow. But Paul McCarty gave us the voice with that beautiful song. And now let me just change

gears. Get this shit. A California professor, who is no stranger to controversial opinions, speculated that it might be racist to be a Taylor Swift fan. This woman named Melina Abdullah said, what do I feel like it's slightly racist to be a Tailor Swift fan. She is a professor. Abdullah is

of Pan African Studies at cal State University in Shittsville, Los Angeles. She is a self described Black Lives Matter organizer, a Pan Africanist, a hip hop scholar, a daughter of God, a womanist, a truth teller mama. That's where her post says on x so so listed as a co founder of the Black Lives Matters Los Angeles chapter and co director of the activist wing of the advocacy organization Black Lives Matter Grassroots. These are the people who raised

millions and stole the money and bought multiple homes with it. They did nothing for black lives except their black lives. All those fucking weeks and months and years of black people attacking whites and restaurants forcing them to say Black lives matter, and these stupid white people kissing black people's feet in the streets, washing their feet what makes me sick? I was begging God, hoping somebody would interrupt my dinner and ask me to say black lives matter. You would have

heard about it from fucking three thousand miles away. I'm not saying it because all lives matter. No one's more important than the other. Goddamn person brings back so many bad memories of that time. Somebody asked her to elaborate on her opinion about tailor and racism. Said, I said, I feel not think, kind of like that feeling I get when there were too many American flags. I mean, is everything racist? Is everything racist? Now?

Then she put out another post after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, She said, why do I feel like this was some sort of right wing white supremacist conspiracy booth? Super Bowl folks think they're attacking me by asking why I think everything is racist? I'm not offended. Virtually everything is racist, she said. In another post, I can't take people like this. You know, even back in twenty twenty two, this is a college professor.

She told white people they weren't welcome to Juneteenth celebrations. Good who the fuck wants to celebrate that nonsense? Anyhow? Then she put up a post again a college professor, saying, attention, wide people, please don't ask if you can come to the cookout hash to have. June teenth is freedom Day for black folks. It should be hashtag reparations Day for white folks. Listen, we don't want to come to the cookout. What's your fucking one

piece of bread in your turkey? Like, we don't want to come. And in two days before Jesse Smolette was found guilty of staging that ridiculous hate crime, she argued, for his innocence in our commitment to abolition, we can never believe police, especially the Chicago Police Department, or but Jusse Smolett, a black man who has been courageously present, visible, and vocal in

the struggle for black freedom. While policing at large is an irredeemable institution, Chicago Police Department is notorious for its long and deep history of corruption, racism, and brutality. Way back in twenty seventeen, she was still going at a conference on intersectionality and discrimination. Abdullah said, today's cops are the slave catches of yesteryear. You literally have a target on your back. This is what policing was founded on, and this is what it evolved out of.

I don't know, I don't know, Abdullah, Professor all I see her videos of blacks gone wild, beating each other up, sometimes to death, beating up their teachers, beating up unsuspecting elderly people in the streets or in subways, even inside department stores. One crazy black chick was kicking the pens in a pet shop a kennel, kicking the dog pens, and people told her to stop. On the way out, she smacked several white women in the face. Nobody stopped her. She got away with it. Where are

the fucking men nowadays? Used to be put behind your shirt? You stole an album, Your buddy lifted up your shirt, he put an album down your pants, He pulled your shirt down and walked out of sam Goodies with a free album. Now the black people are taking ATV vehicles into stores and load them up and riding out, and no one's doing a fucking thing. Slave catchers, who's catching people? No one's catching people. There's a part of me that hopes that happens to me one day soon. And I can't

wait for you all to read about it. Whether it's my arrest, my incarceration, my being shot, or my beating the shit out of somebody who deserves it. I can't stand here and the shit started. Talk like this one. This is what passes for a professor. Can we clean up our fucking act? Students, either vet your college of choice and avoid these idiots

of intolerant negativity and ignorance, or just learn a trade. There are plenty of real colleges out there, and learning a marketable trade actually fast tracks what a college should be doing and doesn't do anymore. You know, the problem is the problem isn't that there aren't so many race baiting haities on the progression side of the political device. It's that so many of them are hired by universities that people pay tens of thousands of dollars to attend onto the bullshit mistaken

assumption that they're getting an education. Someone's gonna tell me, how does that university still have her there, just alone with her self? Description should warrant firing? Are we not sick of double standards yet? Imagine the reverse statements. If a white professor said that, you think that person wouldn't have been immediately fired. So you tell me who's being marginalized these days in America? The answer is obvious. Taylor Swift is pop and a country music singer.

Whose fans include many races. If you like pop and country music, you're gonna love Taylerswift. She is at the top of her game and those two genres. Just as sports are enjoyed by people of different races, music can be intergenerationally and internationally enjoyed by everyone. People would just stop interjecting racism and politics into music, singing, dance, enjoy every genre of music that is not supporting violence or hate. It's just that simple. I have with the

love Beyonce's new song Texas Hold Them? What's a country song? What does that say about me? When did liking music with a catchy beat become racist? My girlfriend loves Taylor Swift and Democrats tell us that black people can't be racist. Yet this Abdullah is and I don't get it, But where is their rationale? Democrats are so fucking bizarre that they have to cry racism about everything all the time. If everyone is racist, is anyone racist? Why

are Democrats trying to redefine racism to mean political disagreement? Look? Man, reading week nothing like the race card that never will be either. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but I appreciate her work at figure. I like a bunch of her songs. She is talented, without a doubt, self made woman with a very diverse fan base and a fourth to be reckoned with. And also, the Kansas City Chiefs won that Super Bowl because the Niners elected to take them all first, which was dumb in overtime, and

the Chiefs scored more points period, No conspiracy theory. I don't care about your made up holiday, and the thought of reparations is simply laughable. Can we finally go to somebody who makes sense at a university and is not a laughable idiot? Christ my son is two years away from college and I'm already nervous. All right, that's it.
