RNews offers you a summary of the week’s latest international entertainment news.
Elizabeth Hurley slams royal claims
British model and actress Elizabeth Hurley has strongly denied allegations that she took Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex’s virginity at the time.
This follows more than a year after Prince Harry in his sensational book Save wrote that he lost his virginity to an “older, British woman”.
“This is ridiculous!” Hurley told American television personality Andy Cohen during an episode of Watch What Happens Live!.
“He said: ‘She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.’ Then the world just assumed it was me, it was absurd and ridiculous.”
According to the 58-year-old, she has “never” met Prince Harry.
Kanye reportedly yells “only at black people”
A former employee of Kanye West accused the musician of racism and also claimed that West made “homophobic and anti-Semitic outbursts” in front of him.
West, who legally changed his name to Ye, told schoolchildren he was “being persecuted by Jewish people,” according to former employee Trevor Phillips.
Phillips further contends that he suffered severe discrimination and harassment from West.
He said in his complaints that West “never insults a white person”, but on countless occasions he saw or personally experienced West “screaming madly at black people”.
According to Phillips, West also praised Hitler and called the Nazi leader “great” during a dinner at a luxury restaurant in Los Angeles.
Phillips is asking for $35,000 in compensation to “correct the injustice he suffered” and send a broader message about the chat rhymer’s behavior.
The clothing giants GAP and Adidas have already parted ways with West after previous antisemitic statements. X boss Elon Musk also kicked West off this social media platform in 2022 after the chat rhymer posted a photo that apparently depicts a swastika intertwined with a Star of David.
