Kiki Barth is a fan favorite. From her first introduction as a guest at Larsa Pippen’s pool party in season 4, to her frequent appearances on crews since then, Barth has gone from “friend” to a must-watch personality in season six . Born in Haiti “I came here at such a young age and now my dream is becoming a reality,” she tells ESSENCE. As a reality star, Barth continually movies his life, spending five to 6 days per week in front of the lens for the world to see.

With every moment, drama and beauty, “self-care could be very essential. I take it very seriously,” Barth says. That’s why drinking water every morning before filming is a staple of her wellness ritual. “You’ll be shocked because I don’t really take care of my skin,” she says about keeping skin care to a minimum. “The more I wash my face, it starts to break out and break out. But I do a mask once a month because I know I don’t wash it every day,” she adds.

The former Miss Haiti leaves her makeup as minimalist as her skincare. “I don’t like to wear a lot of make-up, but when I’m on set I always ask for a smokey eye,” she says, turning eye shadow right into a housewife look. “My makeup artist says, ‘Kiki, you mostly do a smokey eye.’ But I often have sleepy eyes, so while you smoke it, it kind of opens your eyes. That’s how I take a look at it.” But when she has a break day – each from reality TV and her modeling profession – she likes to wipe her face at home. “You know, as a model, you wear makeup a lot, so when I have time off, I try not to put anything on my skin.”

Speaking of modeling, Barth has appeared on runways and in magazines similar to and Miami Swim Week “Since I was a little girl in Haiti, I was always tall and very thin, and people would come up to me and ask, ‘When are you going to New York?’ You will be a famous model,” she recalls. Looking back, she didn’t understand what modeling was, but after moving to the United States and encounters like that, she decided to sign with her agency Frontline management. “When I came, I took it upon myself and here we are.”

And although she is a minimalist in relation to beauty, Barth tries to include her culture into her day by day beauty rituals in modeling. As for her hair, “now we have something called Lwil Maskriti [castor oil]” she says. “Whenever I travel there, I attempt to get my products directly from Haiti,” using the ingredient to treat diseases, hair care and other remedies. “I do not care about my face, but in relation to my body, I care that,” she says. “And body butter is a must,” a lot in order that she uses a sample she developed for her upcoming beauty brand launch.

Just before next week’s season finale, Barth reflects not only on her beauty on the show, but in addition on her relationships with the opposite Housewives. “At the end of the day, it’s good to have a group of friends. Even if there are differences, you can agree to disagree,” he says. “I just love being around them, no matter what.” Even after the season ends, her schedule will still be busy. “You just have to look and see,” he says. “The future is brilliant.”

Kevin Hart sparks outrage after ‘clichéd joke’ calling Delaware HBCU students ‘a bunch of n****s on campus’ sparks backlash

Kevin Hart comments about delaware hbcu

Kevin Hart has been doing comedy since he was a young person, so there have been times when people have not liked his sense of humor.

The 45-year-old recently appeared on “The Breakfast Club,” where one of the topics discussed was the challenges of leaving college — particularly historically black colleges and universities. But the conversation took a special turn for fans when Hart joked that the faculty doesn’t qualify as an HBCU.

“You know what’s crazy? A lot of old niggas can’t afford to go to college,” Hart said he said before adding that “there are a lot of old suckers who just don’t want to accept that it’s over.”

Film producer and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University graduate Will Packer addressed “The Breakfast Club” co-host DJ Envy, stating, “Envy, when you have a cat that’s never gone to any school… historically, he’s never gone to anything.”

Not one to be ashamed to confess it, the “Ride Along” star said, “I’ll tell you what, I didn’t do it and here’s why. You guys are the poster child for what you don’t want to be. It’s over.”

Host Loren Lorosa, who currently fills in for Jess Hilarious on the favored radio show, chimed in as she walked across the studio pouring drinks. She said, “You don’t understand HBCU culture. When you go to an HBCU, you don’t let up.”

Packer asked Lorosa which HBCU she attended. Before she could answer, Hart cut in and joked, “I didn’t.” Correcting the comedian, Lorosa said, “I did. I attended Delaware State University.”

Adding his comedic flair, Hart responded by saying, “This is not an HBCU.” However, many voices within the room quickly responded to Hart by saying, “It is.” He then said, “I know what Delaware State is. It’s just a bunch of n***as on campus.”

Packer, sending support to the college, said, “Delaware State shout. Don’t listen to him,” before the clip ended with Hart doubling down. “It’s niggas in Delaware,” he said.

Many fans expressed disappointment that the father-of-four shared what they believed was a tasteless joke.

Someone said, “No. That’s disappointing, a failed attempt at a satirical joke about a subject he knows nothing about. That’s not it @kevinhart4real.” Another person, who apparently went to DSU, criticized Hart’s 5’5, saying, “I know someone who’s not even tall enough to open the MLK door at my alma matter said sum.”

Several mentioned the time Hart performed in school and was allegedly booed. One wrote, “Don’t pretend you don’t have a shot at a career by doing our comedy shows in 2006 and 2007 at Homecoming. You got booed for doing the same sketch, man @kevinhart4real.” Another wrote, “okaaaay! How quickly they forget.”

Two others said: “He got booed earlier in his career and he still holds a grudge” and “So you’re saying he feels offended and throws tantrums…”

It is unclear whether Hart played at DSU during those years. However, the records show was scheduled to perform on Saturday, October 31, 2009, as part of the annual homecoming comedy show hosted by the University of Delaware Cultural Programs Advisory Board and hosted by comedian Will “Spank” Horton.

But others were capable of take the joke, including Lorosa, who responded by saying: “It was a joke. We have to learn to laugh and move on.” Another said: “It’s sad when you take jokes out of context smh.”

US News and World Report Lately ranked Delaware tenth on its list of top 10 HBCUs.

Snoop Dogg’s wife Shante looks like herself again, months after sparking health concerns from fans who noticed a drastic change in her appearance

Published

Shante “Boss Lady” Broadus is popping heads again for all the best reasons! Snoop Dogg’s wife of 27 years has spent months under the watchful eye of fans who have grown concerned about her health amid years of infidelity rumors.

She appears to have lost a lot of weight in photos shared on Instagram in June. Now, three months later, those self same fans are praising her for looking higher than ever.

Snoop was outraged

Shante added a carousel of photos of herself and others from her cousin’s birthday celebration, which took place on September 16.

For the all-white event, she wore a pantsuit with cascading layers of sheer material that gave her outfit the look of a gown. The fashion selection also camouflaged her figure well, effectively stopping onlookers from commenting on whether she looked too big or too small.

This comments the post was proof that not only did everyone find her style “flawless,” but in addition they loved all the pieces about her subtle, glamorous look.

Shante kept her makeup easy, choosing a natural look and a twin-braided hairstyle, prompting one fan to comment that she “looks like a teenager.”

Elsewhere in the comments, someone wrote that she “still looks 20.” Several people called her beautiful, gorgeous, and even “stunning.” “BossLady, what kind of water are you drinking, because honey, listen, your skin is “skinning,” one other blissful fan joked.

Another person who was present and saw earlier comments accusing Shante of hiding health issues said her stunning appearance put an end to any speculative jokes. “They were talking s**t about you and you came back looking 20 times better, well you were always beautiful, you feel it. But you show off, boss.”

Snoop’s wife and mother of his three children, sons Cordae and Cordell and daughter Cori (the rapper also has a son named Julian, who was born in 1998, a 12 months after his wedding) has never addressed the rumors about her health.

Although the posts that raised eyebrows, all of them have a few things in common. In them, Shante often wears headscarves and loose clothing, and never a little bit of makeup. Whether she’s dressed elegantly or not, her husband’s love and admiration are unwavering.

The “Doggystyle” artist recently told People magazine that despite their marriage going through a “rocky road,” she is basically the yin to his yang, saying “the good to the bad is her,” and that there’s nothing that might ever tear their relationship apart.

The couple has long struggled with quite a few cheating rumors, mostly involving Snoop.

And while Shante is tight-lipped about her personal life, some followers can’t help but wonder if a few of her cryptic relationship posts are inspired by her marriage. Only Broadus’ family knows the reality.

“I have a strong wife with a strong backbone and a good heart — she loves and cares, and we were meant to be together,” Snoop said. “When we said we were going to get married, we were married until death do us part. Isn’t that what it sounds like? Not until the fights, arguments, or finances do us part, but until death do us part.”
