In a recent incident, Clark blocked former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown on X, formerly Twitter, after he posted offensive remarks about her during her WNBA draft night.

He doesn’t practice genocide 2. He has nicer hair.” “I would like to apologise for my last tweet,” he added four minutes later. “It was a very bad joke, especially on Boxing Day.” (Matt Wilstein/Daily Beast 12/27/23) READ MORE>>>>> |

Obama Knew Clooney Was Going to Call for Biden to Drop Out. He Didn’t Try to Stop Him
BEFORE PUBLISHING HIS bombshell op-ed in The New York Times, George Clooney reportedly sought counsel from a friend: former President Barack Obama.

Less than a month ago, Clooney had hosted a $30 million, star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles on Biden’s behalf. Obama and Biden had shared the stage for an interview conducted by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. (Rolling Stone (7/11/24) READ MORE>>>>>
