Octavia Spencer Wins $900,000 in Weight -Loss Lawsuit

The actress won her lawsuit against Sensa Products, a weight-loss company she had an endorsement deal with. In the lawsuit, Spencer claimed the company wrongfully terminated her and ended her endorsement deal. Sensa claims her use of the hashtag #spon for #sponsored while promoting their products negatively effected their campaign.

The lawsuit goes on to state that it wasn’t in Spencer’s contract to not use the hashtag or get her tweets pre-approved. Spencer claimed she did more on her part to honor the deal by permitting Sensa to use before-and-after photos of her and advertisements in tabloids despite her reluctance. In addition, Spencer said she had lost the 20 pounds that she was required to lose as part of the deal.
“This was always about principle for our client, Ms. Spencer. She was taken advantage of by a company that is no stranger to misrepresentations,” Spencer’s attorney Bryan Freedman told The Hollywood Reporter. “I am very proud of Octavia’s will to fight.”
In the end, the judge ordered the company to pay $940,00 to Spencer. Reportedly the judgement was a default due to no representation by Sensa. The company is currently experiencing financial hardship. It may be a very a long time before Octavia sees any of her money.

Birdman Having Serious Money Problems and Might Lose His Mansion

Ivy Condo Association says between him bouncing checks and racking up over $12.5K in unpaid fees they’ve had enough — they filed a lien in November, and asked the court to foreclose on the rap mogul right before Christmas. Yo, bah humbug! Financial woes are stacking up for the Cash Money honcho — a reported $1.9 million federal tax lien, a $1 mil lien from a construction company … plus, he took out a $5M loan against his mega-mansion in April, just to pimp it out.

Florida State Poor Losers after Loss to Oregon (Video)

The Florida State Seminoles suffered their first loss of the season in the Rose Bowl and many of the Seminoles’ players went straight to the locker room as soon as the clock ran out, rather than shaking hands with the Oregon players. This did not please the ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who voiced his displeasure to the television audience. Jameis Winston was one of the few that stuck around.
“Glad to Jameis Winston, a leader of this team, stuck it out,” Herbstreit said. “Over half the Florida State team, right into the locker room, didn’t come across. Jimbo Fisher shakes hands. That’s disappointing that 70% of the Florida State team is in the locker room.

Nicki Minaj Speaks on Her Abortion in Rolling Stone Interview

“I thought I was going to die. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through. It’d be contradictory if I said I wasn’t pro-choice,” she said.

“I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have anything to offer a child.”

She also admitted that her new album is her most honest release to date.

“One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it’s something I’ve kept very private. I had to learn to do something as simple as sleep alone,” she said.

“I struggled with ‘Do I express these feelings?’ And I decided there’s no reason for me to hide. I’m a vulnerable woman, and I’m proud of that.”

She also weighed in on the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.
