Amber Rose and Julianne Hough squash body-shaming beef



Amber Rose and Julianne Hough squash body-shaming beef


Amber Rose and Julianne Hough have buried the hatchet.
Following her performance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Monday’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” Rose addressed remarks made by Hough last week in whichRose felt the judge body-shamed her.
“When you said [‘I feel a little uncomfortable’], I felt very embarrassed,” the 32-year-old model said. “And I felt like you weren’t talking about my dance. But if I misunderstood, then I apologize. I’m a very positive person. I don’t like to argue or bicker or make things weird.”
Before she critiqued Rose’s routine, Hough cleared up the confusion surrounding her previous commentary.
“I would like to say one thing, also,” the 28-year-old began. “The thing I love so much about dance is that it’s a universal platform for people to express themselves. Any person — whether that is age, height, body shape, ethnicity or sexual orientation — it is something that people can express themselves to do. And for me, I am a huge supporter of that and that alone and as a judge, I’m here to solely judge you and everyone in this competition for only the dancing. I want you to know that.”
Rose initially complained about Hough’s commentary Thursday during her “Loveline with Amber Rose” podcast.
“Last night … they did the commentary, and I — it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me and [Julianne] said, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable,’ and instantly I felt — I did feel body-shamed,” Rose said.
“You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ I mean — they dress very sexy, and they do the splits and they grind up on these guys, and they look absolutely stunning and get a standing ovation,” she continued. “And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable.”
Hough denied Rose’s accusations.
“To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere,” she explained to E! News. “My ‘uncomfortable’ comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance — when someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch.”

Hillary Clinton Gains Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump in Key Battleground States

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Trump has been plagued by controversy since his party’s convention three weeks ago, clashing with the father of a fallen Muslim soldier, refusing to endorse House Speaker...

Bitcoin value falls off cliff after $77M stolen in Hong Kong exchange hack

Many investors holding BTC sell holdings in wake of Bitfinex hack. The value of bitcoins plummeted 20 percent after almost 120,000 units of the digital currency were stolen from Bitfinex, a major Bitcoin exchange. The Hong Kong-based exchange said it had discovered a security breach late Tuesday and has suspended all transactions. Bitfinex added that it was working with law enforcement to investigate the theft and planned to resume operations despite the hack.“We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we know that some of our users have had their Bitcoins stolen.

It said any settlements for “open margin positions, associated financing, and/or collateral affected by the breach” will be ...
