#NewMusic from Summer Walker Releases New Album “Finally Over It”
R&B superstar Summer Walker has just released her third studio album “Finally Over It” via Love Renaissance (LVRN) and Interscope Records. The 18-track double-album concludes the singer’s critically acclaimed trilogy—which began with 2019’s platinum-selling “Over It” and continued with 2021’s chart-topping “Still Over It”.
“Finally Over It” is Summer Walker’s ultimate declaration of self-love and growth, capturing the final, raw stages of healing from heartbreak. The project is split into two distinct, thematic discs:
Disc 1: FOR BETTER – A collection of tracks focusing on self-chosen happiness, emotional clarity, and finding love within.
Disc 2: FOR WORSE – The final, honest confrontation with past hurts, the “red flags,” and the journey to refusing anything less than “princess treatment.”
The double album is a massive sonic landscape, featuring a constellation of collaborators that bridge R&B, Hip-Hop, and Pop, including: Chris Brown, Anderson .Paak, Bryson Tiller, Brent Faiyaz, Mariah the Scientist, Teddy Swims, SAILORR, Latto, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Monaleo, and 21 Savage.
The project includes the fan-favorite, ’90s-inspired slow jam, “Heart of a Woman,” which has already garnered two Grammy nominations for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance.
The release was preceded by a series of iconic, viral moments, including a celebrity-filled, wedding-themed features reveal and the infamous “Finally Over It” Lie Detector test video confirming the release date. The album’s final aesthetic, inspired by a wedding, symbolizes the ultimate commitment to self.

#HipHopNews: Lil Kim trashed for her Brooklyn Nets’ Biggie tribute
On Nov. 11, Brooklyn belonged to Biggie. For the first time in franchise history, the Brooklyn Nets hosted “Biggie Night” at Barclays Center — an arena-shaking tribute to Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace that blended basketball, fashion, and hip-hop heritage. And no one was more fitting to headline the halftime celebration than Lil’ Kim, the Bed-Stuy icon whose career was shaped alongside Biggie’s from the earliest days of Junior M.A.F.I.A.
Dressed in a bold “REALLY HER” tee and flanked by the Nets dance team, Lil Kim stormed the court to deliver her verse from “Notorious B.I.G.,” sending a jolt through the sold-out crowd. The performance served as both a hometown homecoming and a salute to the man who helped introduce her to the world.
“It’s ‘Biggie Night,’ so you already know the vibes,” Kim teased ahead of the show. “Every time we rep the legend, it’s all good, babyyy bae baeee. Brooklyn, we ouuutssiiideee… Let’s make it one for the books.”
The night also marked the debut of the Nets’ new City Edition uniform, the “Brooklyn Camo” — a visual homage to Biggie’s signature style. Drawing inspiration from the textures and color play of the rapper’s iconic Coogi sweaters, the design merges hip-hop nostalgia with Brooklyn streetwear sensibilities.
Each jersey features a discreet yet powerful detail: a “Bed-Stuy” patch, honoring the neighborhood that raised both Biggie and Lil’ Kim and forever changed the lexicon of Hip-Hop.
Beyond the uniforms, the franchise partnered with the Biggie Smalls estate to craft a full arena takeover — complete with Biggie bobbleheads, archival visuals, and in-game tributes highlighting the rapper’s colossal influence on New York culture.
While the Barclays crowd largely embraced the moment, social media had a different reaction. Clips of Kim’s halftime performance spread rapidly, sparking sharp commentary about her lip-syncing and restricted movement, which some attributed to recent weight gain.
“Imagine buying a ticket to see her and this is how she performed,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Love her, but this is one of the worst lip syncs I’ve ever seen.” Another user added “wtf is that build” and a third commenter summarized the performance as “messy.”
“Love Kim.. but this was messier than a toddler with a bowl of Apple sauce.”
Others raved over the Biggie tribute, which is crystallized by this fan who said, “S/o to the Queen Bee @LilKim for having me on board during her Halftime show performance at Barclays Center 11/11 . SHE SHUT IT DOWNNNN #LilKim.”
Despite the online chatter, Kim’s supporters emphasized the significance of her taking the stage on a night dedicated to honoring her mentor, collaborator and friend.
Also in the building were Lil’ Cease, Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, Biggie’s son — figures who represent the three generations touched directly by Biggie’s artistry. Their presence lent an emotional undertone to the event, grounding the celebration in the history of Brooklyn rap.
For Kim, who met Biggie as a teenager before becoming one of hip-hop’s most influential female voices, the moment was about more than a performance. It was a tribute drenched in personal history, resilience, and hometown pride.
The Nets plan to wear the Brooklyn Camo uniforms throughout the season, extending “Biggie Night” beyond a single event and reinforcing their commitment to “Spread Love The Brooklyn Way” — a lyric that has become both mantra and mission.
Whether on the court, in the stands, or across the borough, the legacy of The Notorious B.I.G. remains woven into Brooklyn’s identity — and on this night, Lil’ Kim helped make sure the love stayed loud.

Rhona Bennett exits En Vogue after more than 20 years
Rhona Bennett announced her departure from En Vogue on Nov. 13, 2025, five days after the legendary R&B group performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony without her.
It was a moment of realization for Bennett when she found out about the historic Nov. 8 performance at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Fans had reached out, questioning her absence from the ceremony where En Vogue joined Salt-N-Pepa for their hit “Whatta Man.” Bennett, who had her own event scheduled the same day, was never informed about the Hall of Fame performance, a void that was deeply felt.
The 49-year-old singer, who joined En Vogue in 2003, described her decision as stepping into a new season of creativity, freedom, and contribution. Bennett has maintained a multifaceted career beyond her work with the group, including her role as founder of Personal Power University, an online coaching school, and as an author of several motivational books.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony on Nov. 8 marked a milestone moment for hip-hop as Salt-N-Pepa, alongside DJ Spinderella, were inducted in the Musical Influence Award category. The trio performed a medley of their hits, including “Shoop” and “Let’s Talk About Sex,” before En Vogue joined them on stage. The performance celebrated both groups’ contributions to 1990s R&B and hip-hop
Bennett’s absence became more significant when original En Vogue member Maxine Jones appeared at the ceremony. Jones had officially rejoined the group in February 2025, making her return at the NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show on Feb. 16. The reunion brought together Jones, Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, and Bennett for what was initially promoted as a four-member configuration.
Jones, one of En Vogue’s founding members alongside Ellis, Herron, and Dawn Robinson, had left the group in 2001, returned briefly in 2012, and then left again. Her February 2025 return marked more than a decade since she last performed with the group. The return generated significant excitement among fans who had long hoped for a reunion of the original members.
Bennett’s 22-year tenure with En Vogue included contributions to the 2004 album Soul Flower and the 2018 album Electric Café. She briefly departed in 2008 when Robinson returned, but rejoined in 2012, becoming the group’s most consistent member alongside Ellis and Herron through recent years. The trio performed at high-profile events, including the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, the 2021 film Coming 2 America, and the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Beyond her group work, Bennett released her second solo album, Instant Classic, in November 2024 through her independent label Butterfly In Flight. The album featured singles “We (A Powerful Thing),” “Butterfly” and “All on You,” showcasing her work as both Miss RNB, the performer, and Coach Rho, the motivational speaker.
Bennett’s departure leaves En Vogue as a trio consisting of founding members Ellis and Herron alongside the recently returned Jones. The configuration mirrors the group’s original four-member foundation, with three of the four founding members now active.
The situation raises questions about whether Robinson, the only original member not currently with the group, might return. Robinson, who sang lead on En Vogue’s biggest hit “Don’t Let Go (Love),” has had a complicated relationship with the group, leaving multiple times since the late 1990s. She last performed with En Vogue in 2011.

With Bennett’s departure and Jones’ return, the path appears clearer for a potential reunion of all four original members. This possibility brings a sense of hope for the future of En Vogue, though Robinson has not indicated any plans to rejoin.
En Vogue has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and remains one of the top five highest-selling American female music groups of all time. The group’s signature hits, including “Hold On,” “Free Your Mind,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” and “Whatta Man,” continue to generate streams and views decades after their original release.
Bennett has announced plans to focus on her solo career and coaching work. Her departure marks the end of one of the longest continuous tenures by any non-founding member in En Vogue’s 35-year history.
Karen Huger To Return to RHOP Following Prison Release with Andy Cohen Sit Down
Reality star and longtime cast member of The Real Housewives of Potomac, 62-year-old Karen Huger, is set to make a dramatic return to the Bravo franchise after her early release from prison. A teaser released at BravoCon 2025 reveals Huger will sit down with executive producer Andy Cohen in what’s described as a “deeply personal and reflective conversation.”
Huger’s appearance in the mid-season trailer occurs after she served about six months behind bars for a DUI conviction in Maryland. The trailer opens with Cohen arriving at Huger’s Potomac home after her exit from the detention center. The moment carries palpable weight as Cohen says, “Here we are. You are a free woman.” To which Huger responds, “It’s time to talk about my addiction.”
Huger was arrested in March 2024 after crashing her vehicle near her home and later found guilty in December on multiple charges including driving under the influence, negligent driving and other violations. She was sentenced in February 2025 to two years in prison, with one year suspended, and ordered into five years probation. She reported to the Montgomery County Detention Center and was released early on September 2, 2025.
Since her release, Huger hasn’t publicly detailed her time behind bars but has been following a recovery program in Florida where she sought treatment after admitting to mixing antidepressants and alcohol. In her absence, Season 10 of RHOP was filmed without her. A preview nonetheless included footage of her release, hinting at her return.
During the sit-down with Cohen, the trailer promises a side of Huger that viewers have yet to see publicly. The network describes the upcoming episode as offering “a never-before-seen side of Karen” as she “details her next chapter after prison.” In the short clip, Huger tells Cohen, “It’s time to talk about my addiction,” signaling that she is ready to confront her public and personal journey head-on.
Cohen himself recently expressed hope for Huger’s return. When asked if she would come back to the show he replied simply, “I hope so!” The upcoming season finale, scheduled for February, is expected to feature the sit-down.
Huger’s role in the upcoming episodes is likely to be heavily narrative-driven, focusing on accountability, recovery and reintegration into the Bravo universe. As one long-time castmate observed, Huger appears “resilient” and with “a lot to say,” pointing toward potential new ventures beyond reality television.

Babyface Documentary In The Works With Kenya Barris As Producer
A documentary featuring Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds is currently in the works.
According to Deadline, the forthcoming doc is being produced by Kenya Barris. Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel has signed on to direct the film.
The documentary will feature in-depth interviews about Babyface’s remarkable career. Also, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at rehearsals for his upcoming shows at The Palms in Las Vegas.
Babyface released a statement about his excitement about the doc.
“I’ve often wondered how an unassuming kid from Indianapolis got to where he is today. Working with artists and achieving dreams I could’ve never imagined when I first started. This documentary is giving me a chance to go down memory lane with a fine-tooth comb. Reexamining the highs and lows of my life and career,” Babyface said. “I’m discovering where all the songs really came from — and perhaps just as important, the how and why.”
“Babyface is one of one — a culture-defining hitmaker whose impact cannot be denied or overstated. We’re honored to be a part of telling his story,” Barris added. “And grateful that we’re teaming with HarbourView. A company that understands the importance of investing in culture and storytelling like this.
“I hope this project not only spotlights Babyface’s remarkable career but also gives people a glimpse into the man behind the musical genius,” Barris continued. He desribed Babyface as “one of the funniest mother*ckers I’ve ever met.”
Babyface is one of the most acclaimed songwriters and producers of all time. He’s won 13 Grammys, including 4 Producer of the Year Awards, and received 83 nominations. Also, he has 16 Billboard #1 Pop Singles, 45 Billboard #1 R&B Singles, and 125 Billboard Top 10 Hits. He has contributed to over 800 million records sold and over a billion records streamed.
Babyface wrote and produced classic songs for soundtracks such as The Bodyguard, Boomerang, Soul Food, and Waiting to Exhale.
In 1989, Babyface and Antonio “L.A.” Reid founded LaFace Records. LaFace launched the careers of Toni Braxton, Outkast, Usher, TLC, P!nk, Ciara, Goodie Mob, T.I., and Donnell Jones.
“Babyface and his music has always been part of the soundtrack of my life. “His imprint on the music world is massive,” Moukarbel said. “I feel really honored to be even a small part in sharing his story through directing this film.”
Babyface has worked with Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Eric Clapton, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Madonna, and SZA.

Audra McDonald Opens Up About Her Suicide Attempt
Audra McDonald broke her silence about an attempted suicide after struggling with severe depression while a student at Juilliard.
Speaking at an event for the nonprofit Hope for Depression Research Foundation, McDonald opened up about her experince.
“My biggest dream was to be on Broadway, to tell stories through song, and to live in that place where music and emotion meet. And suddenly there I was living in New York City, going to Juilliard,” McDonald said. “I had never been closer to my dream, and yet I had never been further away from it.”
McDonald also revealed that she struggled through the classical voice program.
“The voice that they were trying to shape wasn’t mine. And the path they wanted for me, it wasn’t the one that I had dreamt of,” she recalled. “That disconnect between who I was, and who I was trying to be, started to break me down.”
McDonald admitted that she was “too proud to admit that I was falling apart. I fought my whole life to get there. And now that I was there, I was lost, completely lost.”
“When you’re someone who already struggles with anxiety and depression, that kind of pressure doesn’t just make you tired. It eats at you and scrambles your thoughts,” McDonald explained. “It makes your own mind feel like an enemy. And I smiled through it. I joked through it, said I was fine. But I wasn’t fine. I was 20. And one night, I broke. I slit my wrist.”
MCDonald asked the Student Affairs director for help after the incident
“I said, ‘Please help me.’ And she did. She stayed with me and called for help. She saved my life.” McDonald would spend an entire month “heavily medicated” at Gracie Square Hospital, a psychiatric hospital on the Upper East Side.
McDonald said that asking for help is the “bravest thing” you can do.
“I’ve also learned that healing is not a straight line. It’s a daily practice. One that still continues every day. Even now, some days are clear, some days still get cloudy,” McDonald said. “But I’ve learned to keep coming back to grace, to keep loving myself. To keep giving myself permission to fail today and try again tomorrow. And there’s power and strength in that.”

“I said, ‘Please help me.’ And she did. She stayed with me and called for help. She saved my life.” McDonald would spend an entire month “heavily medicated” at Gracie Square Hospital, a psychiatric hospital on the Upper East Side.
McDonald said that asking for help is the “bravest thing” you can do.
“I’ve also learned that healing is not a straight line. It’s a daily practice. One that still continues every day. Even now, some days are clear, some days still get cloudy,” McDonald said. “But I’ve learned to keep coming back to grace, to keep loving myself. To keep giving myself permission to fail today and try again tomorrow. And there’s power and strength in that.”

Pusha T & Wife Virginia Expecting Their Second Child: “See You Spring 2026 My Boy”
Pusha T is expanding his family. The Grammy-nominated rapper shared a touching message on Instagram announcing that he and his wife, Virginia Williams, are expecting their second son, due in spring 2026.
In his post, the It’s Almost Dry artist wrote a long, emotional note to his first child, Nigel Brixx Thornton, telling him he will soon become a big brother. Pusha T praised his wife for making their growing family possible, sharing that she “prayed day and night, struggled with disappointments, but she never gave up on your wishes.”
“You are gonna owe her big time!!” he added, calling out the new responsibilities and expectations that come with becoming a big brother. “It’s time to share them toys, teach your gifts, and love on the new best friend that mommy gave you.”
Pusha also thanked Williams—whom he affectionately tagged as @babyginny—for giving him another baby boy. In true Pusha T humor, he added that he hopes their second son follows family tradition and never teaches him how to “change a diaper, prep a meal, suck out a snotty nose, or anything else a Supermom does.”
“You make things very easy for me,” he wrote, adding that he loves and appreciates her for it all.
The couple welcomed Nigel in June 2020.

James Pickens Jr. Diagnosed with Cancer Amid His 'Grey's Anatomy' Character's Own Battle
James Pickens Jr. is opening up about his health. In a new interview, the 71-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actor shared that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The news comes after it was revealed on the Grey’s midseason finale that his character Dr. Richard Webber is also battling cancer.
“It’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear, but to be honest, prostate cancer has run through my family,” James told Black Health Matters. “My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t gotten it.”
“I’ve got a 90-year-old first cousin, who’s still alive, actually, [and] he had it,” he continued. “His son has it, a couple of his brothers had it. No one, as far as I know, has succumbed to it.”
At the end of the new episode of Grey’s that aired on Thursday, November 13, Richard announced that he was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer.
James went on to share that he was diagnosed earlier this year.
“I started getting my annual physical 34 years ago, and I started my PSA testing when I was 41. I’m 73 now,” he recalled. “My urologist said, ‘Because you were so diligent in that piece of your health, it was to your advantage. We were able to catch it so early because you were being tested.’”
In January, James learned that there was a tumor located on his prostate, but it hadn’t spread further. He then underwent a prostatectomy, which is when a man’s prostate gland is surgically removed.
“We caught it really early, and so they thought that would be the best route to take,” James explained. “I do have a rare variant that you don’t see very often. They wanted to err on the side of caution and keep an eye on it. It was rare enough that they wanted to make sure that they were crossing all the T’s and dotting all their I’s, but they hadn’t seen one that was detected as early as mine.”

Issa Rae admits she doesn’t always feel successful
Issa Rae opened up like never before during the premiere of “Not My Best Moment,” iHeartPodcasts and Unanimous Media’s new weekly interview series hosted by KevOnStage. Rae peeled back the curtain on what fame really feels like behind the scenes.
The Emmy-nominated actress, writer, and producer admitted that despite outward appearances, she doesn’t consider herself successful right now. “I know that I appear successful to other people, but right now, no, I feel really stagnant… Because I only feel successful when my s**t is on the air. I don’t have s**t on the air right now,” she told the comedian.
Rae also spoke candidly about a lingering “what if” that keeps her up at night: Although she acknowledges that she is currently “rich,” that status is fragile. “I say that I’m rich right now, and that is great, but that’s a very current thing,” she explains. “I think about that constantly. I know that I can save now, and that was my issue before, it was just really hard to save money. But yes, this can all go away immediately and it could go away for some shit that we were just talking about because a clip surfaces, or people decide they don’t f**k with you anymore, and I pride myself on being able to create on a dime… Things change when nobody wants to watch you. And I’m still at the mercy of that.”
Issa Rae on betting on herself early in her career
Elsewhere in the conversation, the “Insecure” creator reflected on one of her biggest financial mistakes — overspending on an independent pilot before her major break. “It was the stupidest thing I've ever done because it was literally all the money I'd ever made in my life until that point,” she revealed. “My business manager had called me while we were in the middle of the first pilot and was just like, ‘Sis, what did you do? What are you doing?’” The 40-year-old continued, “We were in pre-production, we had hired these directors, we had cast, everybody was hyped to be doing it. I couldn't be like, ‘Psych, I don't have the money to do this.’ So I just had to figure it out and I didn’t know what to do. He was helpful and was just like, ‘We’ll figure this out, but no more eating out.’ And I did. It was bad.”
That leap of faith, even with the missteps, ended up shaping Rae’s creative confidence that would later define her career.

The Weeknd Donates $350,000 to Hurricane Melissa Relief in Jamaica
The Weeknd has pledged $350,000 from his XO Humanitarian Fund to support relief efforts for Jamaicans affected by Hurricane Melissa.
According to TMZ, the funds will support the World Food Programme’s emergency response, aiming to deliver food kits to up to 200,000 people. Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica last month as a Category 5 storm, with winds reaching 185 MPH. The storm caused catastrophic damage, prompting officials to declare the entire island a disaster area.
Other celebrities have also contributed to Hurricane Melissa relief efforts. Nicki Minaj, Sean Paul, and Maxi Priest are among those making donations to support affected communities. Earlier this month, Minaj’s team distributed care packages with food, water, and various supplies. A fan account wrote, “@NICKIMINAJ’s team is on the ground in Jamaica, directly distributing essential supplies and providing support to families impacted by the recent disaster. She’s acted promptly to ensure meaningful assistance is reaching those who need it most.”
Hurricane Melissa made landfall on October 28, near New Hope in Westmoreland Parish, marking the strongest hurricane ever recorded in Jamaica. The storm caused widespread devastation, particularly in the southern and western regions, and resulted in multiple casualties, including in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Flooding was severe in St. Elizabeth Parish, where up to 40 inches of rain fell. Communities like Santa Cruz and Black River were inundated by flash floods and storm surges up to 13 feet.
The Weeknd’s contribution, along with the efforts of other artists, is helping provide immediate relief to communities still grappling with the aftermath of one of Jamaica’s most destructive storms in history. Officials are now facing the challenge of securing housing for thousands of affected families.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s had ‘warnings for my safety’ after posts by Trump
In a post on X, Greene said that “a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world”, without referring to Trump by name, adding it was “the man I supported and helped get elected”.
Greene said that “aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States.”
Greene did not specify any threats against her that had been received by security firms, but said that “as a woman I take threats from men seriously. I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.”
Greene also said that as a Republican who votes “overwhelmingly” in favor of party legislation, “his aggression against me also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone” .
The accusation echoes claims made by Trump and administration officials that Democrats have used “paid actors” at protests.
In later posts on X, Greene posted a chart of rising average grocery bills, calling it “the ultimate warning to all of my Republican colleagues” and equating cost-of-living pressures to a vote in Congress over the release of further Epstein files next week.
And she warned: “You vote NO on Tuesday to release the Epstein files and face severe outrage from America,” she warned. “Republicans don’t have support from women and this right here is a perfect example of why.”
The post is the latest in an increasingly bitter war of words with Trump, primarily over the release of government-held documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, which Greene supports. The House speaker, Mike Johnson, is expected to hold a vote next week to decide whether to release the entirety of unclassified communications and documents.
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump fumed on social media, a day after ending his support for Greene, calling her “Wacky Marjorie” and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in the next midterm election “if the right person runs”.
Earlier on Saturday, Greene posted on X that she never thought she would be in the position of “fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are”.
The dispute between Greene and Trump, simmering for months, has broken out into the open as the once solid Maga supporter has found herself opposing Trump on a series of issues, including US military aid to Israel, the government shutdown and the so-called “Epstein files”.
That has led Trump to accuse Greene of going “Far Left” as she offered a series of dissenting opinions against the Maga mainstream. Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months was “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” adding: “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Greene said she had supported Trump “with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him”. Greene added: “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.”
Trump has indulged flame wars before with otherwise loyal political allies, including Elon Musk, only to make up after a cooling-off period. Like Musk, Greene’s newfound opposition appears rooted in what both see as a dilution of Trump’s “Americas first” political philosophy, including grappling with foreign peacemaking projects.
The trajectory of Greene’s dissatisfaction dates to at least May, when she announced she wouldn’t run for a Senate seat and attacked Republican donors and consultants who feared she couldn’t win. She later said she wouldn’t run for Georgia governor and attacked what she said was a political “good ole boy” system in the state.
She sided with Maga dissenters, including Tucker Carlson, in June over possible US efforts at regime change in Iran.
But as the Epstein files controversy heated up in recent months, she placed herself in opposition to the administration’s reluctance to release the documents and videos in full. In September, she said she wanted to expose the “Epstein rape and pedophile network” and asked people to remember she is “not suicidal” should something happen to her.
Earlier this month, Greene sharply criticized her party during an appearance on The View, describing the Republican-controlled Congress as “an embarrassment” for not being in session for more than a month and saying she’d grown “really tired of the pissing contest in Washington DC between the men”.
Asked whether she planned on becoming a Democrat, she said both political parties had failed and called for women to step in and steer the country. “Our red-white-a
