During her appearance, Nivea shared that she was diagnosed with leukemia, which is cancer of the blood and bone marrow, earlier this year. Additionally, she explained that she’s been “going through treatment and everything is going great so far,” and she’s “grateful to God.”

“And I expect it to continue, amen, amen, amen,” she said. “And I’m very grateful for life. You know… It’s so cliché to say: you don’t know the time nor the hour, but it’s true. It has helped me put a lot of things into perspective, and I live in gratitude.”

As she went on, she seemed to explain her renewed lease on life. She said that she’s back into music and going to school for audio engineering — which is something she’s “always wanted to learn.” Additionally, she said she’s been loving on her kids and “just being grateful.”

Conservative political commentator Brandon Tatum has released part two of an interview with Warren Hudson. Hudson is one of several people who traveled with Nolan Wells to Horn Island on July 4. This week, he and Tatum visited the island to walk through the events of that day. Hudson broke down the timeline from departing Mississippi to arriving on Horn Island and described the environment prior to Wells’s disappearance. Following the part two release, Tatum clapped back at criticism “from ignorant melanated people,” saying he refuses to hate white people.

Recap Of Brandon Tatum’s Part One Interview With Nolan Wells’ Alleged Friend Warren Hudson

For context, YouTuber Tatum traveled to Mississippi, telling his following that he’s determined to find the truth in Nolan Wells’ case and not allow his alleged friends to become scapegoats. “…I believe some people are going to owe these boys an apology,” Tatum previously said while teasing his interview with Warren. In part one of the interview, Hudson described himself as Nolan’s best friend, despite never having met his parents. He claimed Nolan Wells was drinking alcohol while visiting Horn Island, but appeared “completely fine.” Additionally, he clarified that he wasn’t glued to Nolan’s side the entire time, but that they spoke several times on July 4.

Hudson Explains The Scene On Horn Island On July 4

In part two of Brandon Tatum’s interview, they retraced the steps taken on July 4 to arrive at Horn Island. Despite being released on Wednesday (July 22), it was filmed two days prior. In this drop, Tatum debuted home footage showing that it wasn’t only Nolan and four friends who boarded a boat and headed to the celebration. Instead, Warren explained that they took three boats out there, each packed with several people, including Nolan Wells.

Later in the 13-minute video, Brandon Tatum and Warren Hudson were on Horn Island. Tatum explained that the area on July 4 was likely packed with people and not a secluded crime scene.

“So, this wasn’t some abandoned, secluded island where nobody’s at…This wasn’t a small place where four boys took their Black friend and dropped him off and never seen again. This place was flooded with people. Tons of people, multiple boats, multiple friend groups. Everybody’s here having a good time and then the boat gets towed off because it was getting ready to sink.”

Tatum said from what he was told the “boys” Nolan Wells traveled with repeatedly encouraged him to get on the boat. They claim Nolan decided to stay behind. The YouTuber said the boys being accused of Nolan were “all gone at 4:30 p.m.” from Horn Island. For several minutes, Tatum goes in about alleged lies being spewed about the incident.

Several minutes before the video’s end, Warren Hudson explained that most people leave their phones on the boat. He insisted that was the case on July 4. “You don’t take your phone and walk around the island. There was plenty of phones on the boat, you know spread out between the three boats we had,” Hudson said.

Brandon Tatum Says He Refuses To “Hate White People” Amid Criticism Of Interview

After releasing part two of his interview with Warren Hudson, Brandon Tatum had a message about the backlash. From his rant, it appears he’d been receiving negative feedback, particularly from Black online spaces and users. He directed his message, posted on Threads, at some “ignorant melanated people” in his comment section and messages telling him he hates his people and his race.

“…And you want me to take up for people that’s wrong just because they Black. I have said from the very beginning that I support finding out what happened to Nolan Wells. Everybody want to know what happened to Nolan Wells, when I talked to the young boys, they want to know what happened to Nolan Wells cause they weren’t there when he apparently died. But you want me to go out on a limb and hate these young boys because they white. You want me to hate white people. I’m not doing it. I’m not going to hate people because of the color of their skin.”

Additionally, he said that “low-life losers” are continuing to be mad at him because he wants to hear from everybody about what could’ve happened to Nolan Wells. “Y’all just want to play the race game and I ain’t playing it,” he said. Tatum also captioned the video, “I refuse to hate white people. Be a racist all by yourself.”

The Scrubs revival is returning for a second season — but not every cast member is coming back.

The medical sitcom, which originally aired from 2001 to 2010, followed the lives of employees at the fictional teaching hospital Sacred Heart Hospital. The hit series starred Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins and John C. McGinley before it was brought back for a ninth season titled Med School.

In season 8, JD (Braff) left Sacred Heart while Elliott (Chalke), Turk (Faison), Dr. Cox (McGinley) and Carla (Reyes) remained at the teaching hospital. The show’s final season moved the setting to a medical school to introduce new characters.

Only Braff, Faison and McGinley remained regular cast members while others made guest appearances. Kerry Bishé, Eliza Coupe, Dave Franco and Michael Mosley were brought in, and Bishé became the show’s new narrator after Braff, but the concept only lasted one season.

Dancing With the Stars veteran Val Chmerkovskiy is not impressed by what he’s seen so far of Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro contestant AJ Pritchard.

Chmerkovskiy, 40, criticized Pritchard, 31, on the Tuesday, July 21, episode of his “Stepping on Toes” podcast, cohosted by Danielle Fishel, while breaking down episode 2 of The Next Pro.

On the Monday, July 20, episode of The Next Pro, Pritchard and dance partner Selena Hamilton were tasked with choreographing a dance routine that told a personal story, ultimately deciding to tell the story of Pritchard’s 2015 British Open Youth Latin Championship victory. Pritchard appeared to take the lead in rehearsals, correcting Hamilton’s form using his feet and giving her ample notes, which apparently rubbed Chmerkovskiy the wrong way.

“It makes good TV at his expense. I guess that’s how I want to say it. There’s a part to it that I like,” the DWTS pro explained on Tuesday’s podcast episode. “I wish he just kind of wrapped that arrogance into a little softer presentation. I get it; you did your thing, you won some awards … we all got pedigree. Everybody’s won something.”

Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro has 12 strong competitors fighting for their spot on Dancing With the Stars. The upcoming reality series dropped another first look on Thursday, June 25, introducing ABC viewers to the upcoming cast. Host Robert Irwin said the show “searched the world” to find these top competitors, who come […]

Pritchard is one of the 12 contestants competing on The Next Pro to become a professional dancer on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars this fall. He was previously a professional dancer on the U.K. version of the show, Strictly Come Dancing.

“I appreciate that he’s a well-accomplished competitive dancer, and he has experience … he had this job,” Chmerkovskiy continued. “So I understand if he’s coming in with this feeling of like… I’m not going to say entitlement — I don’t want to use that word — not a chip on his shoulder, but kind of like, ‘What am I even doing here? Why do I have to go through this process if I know I’m good enough and I already did this?’ I can appreciate that, but then, dude, don’t sign up for the show.”

“But if you are gonna show up, you’ve got to have humility in the sense that you’ve got to prove yourself right now,” the three-time DWTS champion said. “There’s a reason why you’re here and no longer have a job there. So be here, be present. Don’t live in the past.”

“You’re not going to win people over unless they’re into that kind of thing … strategically, for the show, that is a huge turn-off,” he said.

Pritchard was a professional dancer on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing for four seasons from 2016 to 2019. He is the older brother of Love Island U.K. alum Curtis Pritchard, who has dated Maura Higgins and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

MD Motivator Blesses Gma After Kai Cenat Invites Her To Streamer University

MDMotivator is known for spreading positivity online, and his latest surprise turned into one of the most wholesome moments at Streamer University.

After Kai Cenat invited 56-year-old creator “Gma,” also known as @ijustlovepuzzles, to attend the event, she set up inside the campus library, where fellow creators stopped by throughout the week to help her complete Streamer University-inspired puzzles, chat, and spend time with her.

One interaction, however, stood out from the rest.

While Gma was putting together puzzles, a janitor walked into the library and accidentally knocked over a stack of books. As she helped him pick everything up, the two struck up a conversation, and Gma began opening up about her life, sharing the challenges she has faced and her dream of one day starting her own puzzle business.

Moments later, Kai Cenat entered the library, and the janitor removed his disguise, revealing himself to be MDMotivator. The room quickly filled with emotion as MDMotivator surprised Gma with $30,000 to help her launch her puzzle business.

Gma Opens Up About Her Cancer Journey And Shares Her Dream For The Future

Following the surprise, Gma took to Instagram to reflect on how much her life has changed over the past year. Just over a year ago, she believed she was dying after being diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Now, she says the support she’s received has given her renewed hope and the opportunity to pursue a lifelong dream.

“My dream is to produce high-quality puzzles using diverse artists who will make inclusive images that will be highly sought after,” she wrote.

Gma shared that she hopes to use the proceeds from her future business to continue feeding families in her community, provide children with shoes and coats, fulfill Christmas wish lists, and one day pay off the home her daughter helped her purchase.

She also thanked Kai Cenat and MDMotivator for believing in her vision.

After The Shade Room Teens shared her story, Gma also stopped by the comments to thank readers for their support.

“Thank you so much for sharing my story! I had no prior knowledge that any of this would happen. I am grateful and appreciative for all your kind words and encouragement,” she wrote.
