Oprah Speaks on Girls School Sex Scandal

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:59:26 +0000

Oprah Winfrey released the following statement regarding the sexual misconduct of a 15 year-old lesbian at her South Africa school for girls:

"Indiscretions resulting in disciplinary action are common in schools all over the world. Unfortunately, because of my name these common infractions place the Academy in the media spotlight."

"As each of the girls enrolled, she agreed to adhere to the school’s Honor Code and code of conduct policy, which values personal integrity and ensures an environment of shared trust and community."

"It’s disheartening when any student has to be suspended or expelled and it’s a process that involves serious review and consideration. We will not tolerate a violation of school policy and dishonesty. We insist on maintaining a campus environment that commands mutual respect, fosters academic excellence and encourages learners to fulfill their best potential."

The underlying problem appears to be a lack of adult supervision. The "trust" given to the students creates an environment for abuse of that trust. Perhaps a more structured environment combined with greater guidance could lessen the problems at the school. The school itself appears to be operating as an experiment, rather than based on a framework proven out over time by quality private learning institutions.

It seems inappropriate that lesbian students are allowed to sleep and shower in the same dormitory as heterosexual students. This appears to have created an environment where a predator lesbian has access to, and time alone, to attempt to molest other students.

Oprah Girls School Sex Scandal Number 2

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:16:20 +0000

Oprah Winfrey’s girls school in South Africa has been rocked by a second sex scandal in less than two years. This time the accused are students.

According to the newspaper Afrikaans on Sunda, seven students were suspended last week for sexually harassing their schoolmates. One 15-year-old was accused of preying on another pupil and forcing other girls to lie to investigators about it. A letter read to her parents read:

"You have been found guilty of physical contact of a sexual nature with another pupil on campus, harassment, bullying other girls on campus, and of being dishonest by not telling investigators the whole truth."

Other girls were caught fondling each other or trying to get other girls to join them in lesbian acts.

Oprah’s spokesperson, Lisa Halliday, confirmed the girls had been suspended from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls, but gave few details:

"”Several students were expelled last week for violating the Leadership Academy’s code of conduct. We consider this to be a confidential school matter. Therefore, we will not confirm any personal information or disclose any details related to these expulsions.”"

Ten months after the school was opened, Winfrey sobbed uncontrollably after 15 girls reported they had been sexually abused by a matron who was supposed to be watching over them. Oprah said at the time:

"I am a mama bear when it comes to protecting my children. These girls are like my children. That’s not just rhetoric for me. I take their futures and the possibility for what their futures hold very seriously."

Other than suspended the lesbian girls molesting other girls at the school, there’s isn’t a lot Oprah, or school officials, can do. It was easier to deal with this problem when the offender was an adult. It seems that the underlying problem is a lack of appropriate adult supervision exists at the school. Perhaps the girls are spending too much time alone. Perhaps the school should rethink their approach, and perhaps mimic other successful private schools from around the world, where sexual abuse does not appear to be a problem.

Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan Without Clothes On Fratboy Scandal

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:22:43 +0000

Paul Donahoe (above) and Kenny Jordan (below) posed for gay porn site Fratmen.tv. Once Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Manning found out, he kicked them off the team … permanently. Manning said in a statement:

"This incident was not the sole factor considered before the decision was reached to dismiss the two wrestlers."

In April, Donahoe was arrested and taken to jail by Lincoln police after they were called to investigate a loud party. Police said Donahoe was argumentative and refused to help in breaking up the party. He was convicted in May of maintaining a disorderly house and fined $250.

Manning continued:

“The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat.”

“We will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals. I want to personally apologize for any embarrassment that may have been caused for our athletic department, the university and our fans.”

The boys were not kicked off the team because they were gay, but because they violated NCAA rules.

Josh White, NU’s assistant athletic director for compliance, told The Associated Press that Donahoe and Jordan were declared ineligible because they violated an NCAA rule that prohibits athletes from receiving compensation for the use of their images by anyone seeking commercial gain.

NCAA athletes are not allowed to knowingly let pictures of themselves be used for commercial purposes. Athletes would be considered ineligible for competition if they accept any compensation or permit the use of their image to advertise, recommend or promote directly any commercial endeavor.

White said both Jordan and Donahoe had violated the rule and said each wrestler would have to apply to the NCAA for reinstatement if they were to choose to wrestle for another school.

These boys could have a successful career, but not in wrestling.

Michael Verdugo Gay Porn Scandal

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:15:55 +0000

Michael Verdugo was placed on administrative leave from the Hollywood, Florida police force on Wednesday. Verdugo was known as Mikey V when he was a recent contestant on HGTV’s Design Star.

The reason Verdugo was suspended is unclear, but appears to be related to problems he has been having with his police partner Eric Augustus, who is heterosexual.

Verdugo appeared in a 1996 gay bondage film called Rope Rituals, which is not longer in print. He joined the police force in 2001, 5 years after making the movie. The trouble in the police department didn’t start with Verdugo’s porn past, and appears to have nothing to do with his current problems. In 2004 Hollywood cops responded to a domestic disturbance call involving two gay men. Both were Hollywood cops. One was Verdugo, who had been working in the department for three years, but had not come out to his co-workers.

Chief Scarberry was concerned Verdugo would be harassed. During lineup on the morning after the incident, according to department sources, Scarberry delivered a stern warning: Any officer who teased Verdugo or the other gay officer could expect a suspension and possible dismissal.

The police Chief was protecting Verdugo from any harassment, but then Verdugo started filing complaints against his partner Augustus, who has a distinguished 19 year career. It could be that Verdugo may have been the one with the problems. The knee-jerk reaction is to believe gay harassement, when it could be the opposite, heterosexual harassment by Verdugo, that could have caused him to be suspended. We’ll have to wait and see what the investigation determines.

A police spokesman said:

"Verdugo has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of a fact-finding Internal Affairs investigation."

Verdugo’s attorney, Al Milian, said:

"My client has done nothing wrong. He has served the community of Hollywood with honor and distinction for over 10 years. The only reason someone would criticize my client is that he publicly has a different lifestyle. My client has done absolutely nothing wrong. Nothing unethical. Nothing to bring discredit upon his police department, except serve his community."

In 2002, the Sun-Sentinel covered a boxing match in Hollywood that featured the now Design Star contestant Michael Verdugo, right, in the ring with Sunrise firefighter Frank Cagan at Hollywood Young Circle bandshell. (pictured below)

Also pictured below is Verdugo, or someone that looks exactly like him, and has the exact same tattoos, in the gay porn movie Rope Rituals.

Jodie Foster Cheated on Cyndey Bernard

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 21 May 2008 17:19:03 +0000

A report confirms our speculation that Jodie Foster left Cyndey Bernard for another woman. The National Enquirer reports that Jodie’s new woman is brunette Cindy Mort, a producer and screenwriter she met on the set of her 2007 film The Brave One. Mort is the former lover of Melanie Mahron.

Mort and Mahron live in separate houses on the same street in Los Angeles. Foster and Bernard still live in the same house. Complicated.

Cheaters never find love, because they’re never satisfied.

Vince Young Hangs with Hot Sweaty Men

Vince Young, who is a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, partied hard at a Texas bar a few days ago. There were only dudes in the bar, and most them, including Young, had only half of their clothes on. Looks like a gay bar. Ride’em cowboy.

Sam Brodie Latest Gladiator in Gay Sex Scandal

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:45:53 +0000

Sam Brodie was a contestant on the show Gladiator recently, and he is one of many from that show to reveal he has a gay porn past. Sam was paid for gay modeling work on a gay site called Seduced Straight Guys, for which he posed using the alias Ben, and described himself as a sheet metal worker, as well as a ladies man. The gays love a switch hitter. Although Sam has completed his time on Gladiator, he now appears to have a new career if he’s willing to keep his bottom in the air.

Eliot Spitzer tried desperately to remain governor, but after discovering he had lost support even from his liberal democrat support base, he finally resigned today, making David Paterson the Governor of New York.

Trent Lott Gay Sex Scandal with Gay Escort

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:42:11 +0000

Trent Lott, the long time Senator from Mississippi, suddenly resigned on Monday. Benjamin Nicholas, an expensive homosexual gay escort, is claiming he and Senator Lott had a sexual affair despite Senator Lott being married. Click the link below to read the whole seedy story full of incredible allegations.

UPDATE, 5:30 (EST): â€œHere’s my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I’m sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny,â€ Benjamin Nicholas tells Big Head DC.

ORIGINAL:

Must credit Big Head DC:

Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called â€œFifteen Minutes,â€ and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He’d often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort â€” a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquaintances through the years.

Based in San Antonio, he would travel all over the world to meet his clients, which included high profile celebrities, businessmen and even politicians in the United States Congress.

Sometimes within his writings he’d give advice on how other males could become successful escorts. Other times he’d post videos of himself flexing on YouTube. Once, he even scolded gay escort Mike Jones for outing Rev. Ted Haggard as one of his gay escort business participants.

â€œYou were paid for sex, Mike,â€ he wrote in 2006. â€œThe most important rule you can follow when taking people’s money in exchange for sex is thatâ€”no matter whatâ€”their lives stay their own and whatever passes between the two of you remains private. Period.â€

Many of his clients greatly appreciate his professionalism. In fact, according to one 66-year-old patron who reviewed him on a gay escort site, he is â€œa very reliable escort who keeps you informed.â€

The boy happens to be real, and his â€œstage nameâ€ is Benjamin Nicholas. One of the politicos Big Head DC has learned he’s alleged to have been involved with is the married Sen. Trent Lott, 66, who unexpectedly announced his retirement on Monday. Lott is well-known to have been against a plethora of gay rights issues throughout his terms in Congress. He was also good friends with Sen. Larry Craig throughout his time in Congress.

Nicholas told Big Head DC today via e-mail that he didn’t want to go on the record to talk about his dealings with Lott, because, said Nicholas, â€œTrent is going through his fair share of scrutiny right now and I don’t want to add to it.â€ However, e-mail and other records confirm that the two have met on at least two occasions.

â€œAll I can say at this point is no comment,â€ Nicholas told us. â€œIt’s the professional thing for me to do.â€

In a subsequent e-mail message, Nicholas confirmed that another publication is working on a story about a â€œpossible relationshipâ€ between Lott and himself, but Nicholas also â€œpolitely declinedâ€ an interview for that story.

â€œAs I said before, Lott has quite a bit on his plate right now and I don’t really want to add fuel to the embers,â€ Nicholas told Big Head DC.
