Holy shizzzzzz. Keith Murray was a trending Twitter topic on Tuesday (January 3) following an interview he did with my friend over at The Art of Dialogue. The clips are wild—with him simulating oral sex and other questionable sexual positions. He also made some incredulous claims involving himself, Foxy Brown and Kurupt. All this while acting loopier than a box of Fruit Loops.

Look, there is no way on God’s green earth Keith Murray is not on something illicit. Either that or dude drinks a helluva lot of coffee or Red Bull or loves him some OTC uppers ’cause he’s definitely still getting lifted—in some way. I don’t know, but something’s up (and if so, somebody in his inner circle should quickly intervene). Honestly, it was pretty disturbing, especially to hear how he talked about women. All I could think was “gross.” Sorry Keith, when you’re in your 50s and still acting like a hormonal teenager, it’s kinda weird. This clip, in particular, was hard to stomach; the cringe factor was through the roof.

As one Twitter user noted: “This n-gga Keith Murray looks like a coke head telling these stories.” Need I say more?

Whether they like it or not, celebrities are subject to scrutiny from the public on a daily basis. Cassie, singer, model and Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, is no exception. On Tuesday (January 3), Cassie—a mother of two—uploaded a video of herself strutting her stuff looking impossibly thin. Par for the course, the first batch of comments came from a sea of blue checks and included lots of fire emojis and applause. But as you scroll down, they get more ominous and the outrage only intensifies.

“To each their own but advertising emaciated and severely underweight as a weight loss/workout plan seems grossly irresponsible,” one person wrote, while another said, “So funny how all the blue check people love the look and all the regulars hate it. Why y’all lying to your friend? That’s not the look for me. Wish she just would go back to her regular self. Was hot then, even when pregnant but is a no for me now.”

Other comments were even more harmful, with several suggesting she looks like a trans man. Whatever is going on with Cassie, people can’t help but notice. Is this the new Hollywood chic?

Of course, Cassie isn’t the first to face recent criticism; the Kartrashians Kardashians have been accused of promoting unhealthy body images lately, too. In November 2022, Buzzfeed wrote an entire article on an episode of The Kardashians in which Khloé Kardashian got visibly elated after her sister Kim Kardashian told her the other siblings were worried about her being “too thin.” There were rumors Kim and Khloé even got their Brazilian butt lifts reversed.

As one person pointed out in Cassie’s comments, “All the stars are getting real thin. Is there like a new diet or some out?” Cassie’s video drew over 4,000 comments, and while a handful of them were positive, the majority of them wanted to know if she had some kind of medical condition. If 2023 is all about being rail thin, pass the mashed potatoes ’cause…no. There’s enough pressure on the average woman to look like Instagram models and we don’t need it to get any worse. Also, maybe we should normalize NOT commenting on women’s bodies at all because it’s really none of our business. She seems confident in her own skin—and that’s a good thing.
