Jane Wood Allen posted these comments on her social media constantly and consistently referring to the First Lady as a Gorilla. Saying quote: "This poor Gorilla. How is she going to function in the real world, by not having all of her luxurious vacation paid for anymore? She needs to focus on getting a total makeover (especially the hair), instead of planning vacations! She is a disgrace to America!"
But Michelle Obama isn't the only suffer this disgusting treatment. An article about Muslims leaving if Donald Trump will the president surfaced on Facebook as many do (side note: I'm leaving too. I can't and won't be a part of this nonsense). Ms. Jane goes in again saying: "BYE! Don't come back! You have no business in the USA anyway!" But does she stop there...Oh no! She continues her bull**** rhetoric.
Jane decided to continue berating the First Lady. Upset that Michelle Obama is one of the most admired women in the world. Jane's argument was she wasn't a "REAL" first lady. She used and abused her title because she went on trips every other day. And wasted tax payers dollars. She also claims she's the worst example of a First Lady ever. And then proceeded to call her a Gorilla again. According to BET.com, her facebook has been removed but she had plenty of other anti-minority posts on her page.
Once the school district, Forsyth County got wind of her conduct online she was canned! Last Friday, Jennifer Caracciolo a spokeswoman for the school district made this statement: "Our schools are closed for fall break this week. We have and will continue to address this issue with the employee next week. Racism and discrimination are not tolerated in Forsyth County School." By Monday Mrs. Wood Allen was relieved of her duties at Chestatee Elementary. The School District also stated: "They are committed to ongoing staff training on the acceptance of all individuals."
This is not the first person to insult the first lady is such a disrespectful manner and go viral. In July there was a woman who tweeted her disdain for the FLOTUS. Lisa Greenwood, a former loan officer for Home Point Financial in Anne Arbor, Michigan decided tweet and I quote:
"@FLOTUS beautiful??? Seriously she is an ugly black bitch"
Well with this tweet it sparked a fire storm. It was shared millions of times and went viral. Many people contacted her place of employment voicing their concerns and she was eventually let go. Home Point Financial moved quickly to resolve the growing the concerns via twitter, stating:
"The individual who made reprehensible comments regarding last night's speech by the First Lady is no longer employed with Home Point Financial. Home Point Financial does not agree with nor condone such comments, which were made on the individual's Twitter Account. We hold true to our WE Care philosophy - our responsibilities extend beyond the workplace and into our communities."

Furthermore the notion that Michelle Obama does nothing but take vacations is just false. She's a harvard lawyer who happens to be the FLOTUS. She works hard to promote health and encouraging children to become healthy individuals. She has countless programs that she has spoken for and continues to rally for to this day.
Look it up:
LET'S MOVE!- A nationwide initiative to promote healthy eating and fitness!
Let Girls Learn - A global wide program focusing on foreign nations and helping to open the doors of education for girls around the world
Joining Forces - A joint iniative including Vice President Joe Biden to help military spouses
Reach Higher - A program to encourage young adults to seek education beyond high school
EDUCATE YOURSELF PEOPLE BEFORE YOU SPEAK THAT WAY YOU DON'T LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A FOOL!
And as for you Mrs. Jane Wood Allen in the words of John Laurinaitis, "Good Luck on Your Future Endeavors!"

Sunday night reports began to surface about Kim Kardashian West and her scary encounter with some robbers in Paris. Here's how it went down via CNN:
Kim was staying in an apartment in a private mansion. Her security guard Pascal was with her sisters while they were out clubbing. And her friend Simone was downstairs. Late that night five men entered the mansion and put a gun to the head of the concierge. They forced him to lead them to Kim's room. Only 2 of the robbers entered the room. One wearing a ski mask and the other dressed as a cop. Kim said she was startled by the sound of boots coming up the stairs. So said she grabbed her phone to call her security guard but she couldn't get the number dialed fast enough. They took the phone, put a gun to her head, tied up her hands and feet, then put her in the tub. She feared they would rape her but they were only after the $4 Million dollar ring she posted on her Instagram that Saturday. Kim feared for her saftey, begged and pleaded with the robbers. But it fell on deaf ears. The robbers then duct taped her mouth shut and grabbed her phones, the jewelry and got out of the apartment. The whole robbery took 6 minutes. By the time her security Pascal got back to the apartment the robbers were gone.

Kim was shaken up by the ordeal and flew to New York immediately after the incident happened. Kanye even left a concert once he was informed of his wife's traumatizing experience. Her children Saint and North were not in paris with her. They were in New York. So by the grace of god everyone is safe and unharmed. Just down about 10 Million dollars in jewelry and 2 cell phones.
Now there are some conflicting stories out there: 1). CNN is reporting there were 5 men in the mansion but only 2 actually committed the robbery. However, TMZ and other media outlets are only reporting 2 robbers. 2). According to TMZ two of the robbers came into the room via the sliding glass door. But according to CNN, the concierge was forced to open the apartment door. 3). MSN is reporting it could've been the infamous Pink Panthers. a network of jewel thieves from the Balkan countries whose raids have targeted the most valuable gems on the planet. No other sites have speculated these jewel thieves. And many of the key figures in this network of thieves have been taken down by the police. And the french police don't believe they are involved. 4). MSN is also reporting that she freed herself. But no other outlets that I have found are reporting that account. 5). MSN is also reporting that her stylist was there in a room down the hall along with her friend Simone who was in the downstairs of the apartment. However in many other blogs and reports the only other person in the apartment besides the robbers and the conceirge was Kim's friend Simone.
Many people are skeptical of the robbery. They claim its either a publicity stunt, the story is being exaggerated or it was an inside job. Its a dicey situation. Im just glad she's okay and her family is safe. If this is real, this is a scary situation and now she has to be more cautious about what she posts online, who she shares information with, and how much of herself she exposes. Its crazy. She posts frequently and its everything from her children to her clothes to where's shes eating. People are not stable and this world is not safe. Being cautious is the smartest thing you could do as celebrity. Kim could have been killed. This is just a frightening situation and if this is real I hope an overhaul of her security team is done and she should always be with at least 2 body guards who are armed and ready to protect at all costs.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Fox News did a whole piece on this robbery and its legitmacy. They asked a cop, a former DEA agent and a private investigator to give their take on the details reported and if it was real or not. The questions being asked can be easily answered, well some of them can.
Patricia D’Orsa-Dijamco had some questions about the robbery:
How did Kim free herself? Or who found Kardashian in the hotel room or bathroom?
MY GUESS: I thought maybe her friend Simone freed her or her security guard once he got there. But according to People, they put plastic ties around her wrists but she managed to squeeze her hands out of the wrist ties by wriggling her hands.
Where was her security and hotel security personnel or hotel security cameras?
MY GUESS: Hmm...good question her security was with her sisters. They were at the club while Kim decided to go to her apartment. However why wouldn't a swanky, posh, HIGH END hotel not have its own security or security cameras? Knowing that high profile celebrity guests stay there often? Great question but I have no answer for that.
Former DEA agent and trial expert Michael Levine was sure it was a hoax. He says if the French police have figured that out by now they won't say anything because they have enough problems.
An NYPD detective also thinks it was a hoax. But says if it isn't the robbers knew Kim was going to be staying there and cased the joint to find the perfect moment to strike. However he says Kim has a massive security detail and they are just blowing this story up for publicity. He then insinuated that the new season of Keep Up With the Kardashians premieres October 23rd.

Chris Brown has been in the media on a negative note ever since 2009. He's been targeted, banned, and chastised for his rebel behavior and heavy partying. But recently Chris' actions caught up with him and he was sent to jail for violating his parole. Chris was in jail for several months on a probation violation and reportedly it was the worst experience of his life and he vows to never ever return to jail again!
Well if you didn't know this guy you would say to yourself "Hmm this would be a awesome reality show!" And you wouldn't be the only one saying these things. Chris Brown has built multi-million dollar brand but, his messy personal life is highly marketable on reality TV.
TMZ is reporting that multiple (all cable I imagine) networks are vying for the Chris Brown reality show. A show that chronicles his life, struggles with sobriety, his possible jail time and his music career. Who are these networks well BET is the major front runner for the show. They are chomping at the bit to get the bid. They've got production companies set, ready to produce the show and they have even gone so far as to hold focus groups to see if people would really want to see a Chris Brown reality show. This focus group consisted of all African American females between the ages of 18 to 25.
As far the world knows Chris hasn't signed up for the idea nor denied it. But I doubt he will go through with this. Reality TV is for people who are at the tail end of their careers looking to start over or they have no career and are building one off of reality TV. Case in point: Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love and Hip Hop: NY & ATL, Real World, Teen Mom, etc. I could go on and on. Chris Brown's career is far from over. This dude was in jail and his song Loyal peaked! He didn't have to be around for his music to go global. His staying power is withstanding everything. RealTalk: this is unwanted attention and added drama that is not necessary. He's got a enough to deal with beyond worrying about a camera following him around.

Famed comedian (one of my favorite comedians) and actor Robin Williams has entered rehab again. If you were not aware (as I myself was not) Robin Williams admitted to being addicted to cocaine and alcohol since the 1980s. Whew thats a long time. In 2006 he entered into Rehab for alcohol abuse, after 20 years of sobriety. Man that had to be devastating to relapse like that.
Well in this case Robin didn't relapse. He had back to back projects and wants to continue his long term sobriety now that he is work free. So he checked himself into a rehab facility called Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center. Its claim to fame is maintaining long term sobriety.
Well Robin Williams I commend you for wanting to maintain your addiction. Good for you and I wish you the best of luck!!
Robin was working on the 3rd installment to the Night at the Museum Franchise called:
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb hitting theaters December 19, 2014!
