In a letter posted to The Root Monday (April 30), the Times Up Women of Color subset very vocally supported a new campaign called #MuteRKelly, and said while comedian Bill Cosby's recent sexual assault convictions were horrific, they served as proof that men can, indeed, be held accountable for their crimes against women.

The group claims R. Kelly "Married a girl under 18 years of age; was sued by at least four women for sexual misconduct, statutory rape, aggravated assault, unlawful restraint and furnishing illegal drugs to a minor; was indicted on 21 counts of child pornography and has faced allegations of sexual abuse and imprisonment of women under threats of violence and familial harm."

Now, Time's Up is calling for RCA Records, Ticketmaster, Spotify, Apple Music and concert venues to ice Kelly out, and to make him pay for his transgressions.

"As women of color within Time’s Up, we recognize that we have a responsibility to help right this wrong. We intend to shine a bright light on our WOC sisters in need. It is our hope that we will never feel ignored or silenced ever again," the letter reads. "We call on people everywhere to join with us to insist on a world in which women of all kinds can pursue their dreams free from sexual assault, abuse and predatory behavior."
​
Time's Up's Women of Color aims to "organize around issues that are especially important to women and girls of color. The group includes activists, executives, filmmakers, actresses, authors, athletes, and women in tech, advertising, science and other industries. WOC of TU is building a collective of women of color who strive for safe and equitable environments for all women," the letter specifies.

Lea Michele said “Yes” to her boyfriend Zandy Reich’s proposal with a snap of her massive rock on Instagram Saturday (April 28). In the photo below, a clearly effusive Michele poses beside seaside with her ring-bearing hand covering her smiling face.

Reich popped the question to the star over the weekend with a custom-made 4-carat diamond ring, which the All Year Round women’s clothing company president designed with Leor Yerushalmi and The Jewelers of Las Vegas.

“When I’m not working, I’m at home with my cat, with my family, with my boyfriend, with the people that I love — and that’s how I reset, and that’s how I center myself,” the 31-year-old performer told People of how her fiancé has kept her grounded. “It’s so important to tune out the noise and the unnecessary, and just focus on the people that you love because they know you better than anyone.”

The Glee alum and 32-year-old CEO have been longtime friends before they began dating in July 2017.

In August 2017, the pair marked Michele’s 30th birthday with a romantic, oceanic getaway.

“Last year, in this same spot, on this same day, you told me 30 was going to be the best year of my life.. it was,” Michele captioned the image of the lovebirds looking out at the waves. “So much to be grateful for, but mostly you.. got a feeling 31 is going to be even better…  u Z.”

Michele revealed on Ellen earlier this month that she and her Glee castmate, Darren Criss, will be co-headlining on an upcoming joint tour.

Usher has been served with another lawsuit by Laura Michelle Helm who initially sued the singer last year for allegedly transmitting herpes to her during two sexual encounters.

Helm originally filed a $20 million lawsuit against Usher last summer alleging that she slept with him without knowing that she was being exposed to herpes when they had unprotected sex.

According to the Bossip website, Helm filed new documents in Georgia last week for several counts of battery, negligence, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Helm discovered that she was diagnosed with Herpes Simplex 2, but in November 2017, Helm filed court documents to dismiss the case without prejudice “with intent to refile.”

In her new lawsuit, Helm states that Usher had a legal obligation to warn her of his status, and she has been suffering with embarrassment over her diagnosis. “Plaintiff suffers mentally and emotionally from the humiliation and stigma attached a single woman infected with the incurable Herpes SV2,” reads Helm's lawsuit.

Helm is seeking a trial and wants monetary damages for her pain and suffering.

SZA returns with another video from the acclaimed album, "Doves In The Wind" featuring labelmate, Kendrick Lamar.

This song wasn't really a favorite from the album, despite the all-star collaboration, but the video takes the song to new heights. Basically, it's Kung Fu Kenny chilling (and sometimes levitating cross-legged) in the desert waiting for Solana to arrive so that he can check out her ninja skills. She's badass, beating up two fighters in just a few seconds, and Kenny is appropriately impressed.

SZA and Kendrick will both be on TDE's Championship Tour, which kicks off in May. You can check out the video for "Doves In The Wind" exclusively over at Spotify here.
