Eve revealed that she's been getting "trashed" ever since she told her fellow co-hosts on The Talk about the specific challenges that come with being in an interracial relationship during this moment in time. In a preview clip for next Tuesday’s episode of The Talk@Home, Eve explained how folks have been coming after her for opening up about the "difficult and uncomfortable conversations" she and her white husband, Maximillion Cooper, had been having about race these past few weeks.
“I just wanna address something myself because I got some backlash just recently when I spoke out about myself being in an interracial relationship and saying that ‘I’m having some of the most difficult conversations that we’ve ever had’" she said. "And some people lit up the comments and trashed me and were questioning whether this was the first time I had had these conversations."

"I want to be very clear. We have had many conversations because I’ve been in this relationship for many years. When you enter an interracial relationship, there are conversations you must have—that’s just natural. So this is not the first one. I’ve been having some of the most difficult conversations because we are in one of the most difficult places in our nation, in our world, in this time, so that’s why I said that it was difficult.”
On Tuesday (June 2nd), Eve talked about how she and her husband have been handling the events going on in America right now, as protesters around the country fight against systemic racism and police brutality. She said that she and her husband have been having "some of the most difficult and uncomfortable conversations" about race that they've ever had, but she believes that it's "a beautiful thing."
"I don't know his life through his eyes. He doesn't know my life through my eyes," she said. "All he can do is try to understand and try to ask the questions, and he wants to understand, and that's what the nation—that’s what the world—has to do. It's gonna be uncomfortable. Yeah, it's going to be uncomfortable. But we have to be okay with being uncomfortable so that we can get to a solution."
Eve Having "Uncomfortable Conversations" With White Husband About Race
Eve revealed she's been having a lot of "difficult and uncomfortable conversations" about race with her white husband, Maximillion Cooper, as of late.
Eve spoke with her fellow The Talk co-hosts about how she and her white husband, Maximillion Cooper, have been speaking about the issues of race in light of the current nationwide protests against racism and police brutality. On the newest episode of the talk show that aired on Tuesday (June 2nd), Eve told her co-hosts Carrie Ann Inaba, Marie Osmond, Sheryl Underwood, and Sharon Osbourne, as well as special guest, KCBS-TV Los Angeles anchor Pat Harvey, that she and Maximillion have been having "some of the most difficult and uncomfortable conversations" about race that they've ever had. However, she believes it's all so worth it.
"But, at the same time, it's a beautiful thing, because… I don't know his life through his eyes. He doesn't know my life through my eyes," she noted. "All he can do is try to understand and try to ask the questions, and he wants to understand, and that's what the nation — that’s what the world — has to do."

"It's gonna be uncomfortable," she continued. "Yeah, it's going to be uncomfortable! But we have to be okay with being uncomfortable so that we can get to a solution." She went on to express how the protesters fighting for racial justice around the country have been a comfort to her. "There are some people that are having beautiful, peaceful protests, with their fists in the air and their hands in the air and all different colours and genders, all together, on one knee, wanting to get past this," she said. "That's what actually keeps me from getting too emotional."
On Sunday (May 31st), Maximillion shared a post on Instagram in support of these peaceful protestors. "These are challenging times," he wrote on an image of the phrase "F*CK RACISM" written in crayon. "A global pandemic, on the brink of an economic depression, and now America is spinning out of control following George Floyd's horrendous murder. The rioting is unacceptable but the emotions and voice of protesters is loud and clear and needs to be acted upon. This injustice can't be ignored. It's all of our responsibilities to stand up against discrimination and racism, and to treat each other with respect and dignity #blacklivesmatter."
Denzel Washington Left Katie Couric "Shaken" After Tense 2004 Interview
Katie Couric opened up about her “uncomfortable” interview with Denzel Washington in 2004 in which the actor left her “shaken” after she asked him a question.
Denzel Washington was just been called out by news anchor, Katie Couric, for leaving her “feeling kind of shaken” after an “uncomfortable” interview in 2004 in which he went after her for asking him whether actors should involve themselves in political discussions. Katie appeared on Danny Pellegrino’s Everything Iconic podcast on Monday (April 27th), where she told the host about Denzel’s “weirdly uncalled for” reaction to her question. “I don’t think I said anything wrong,” Katie told Danny. “I don’t know what happened. I love him. I admire him so much. He’s one of my favourite actors. But I remember walking out feeling kind of shaken that he had gone after me in a way that was completely weirdly uncalled for.”

The interview took place almost 16 years ago while the actor was promoting the political thriller, The Manchurian Candidate, with Meryl Streep and Jonathan Demme. Due to to the nature of the film, Katie felt it appropriate to ask Denzel whether he agreed with the statement that “Hollywood folks should stick to acting.”

“I don’t know what Hollywood folks are, first of all,” the Oscar winner proceeded to reply. “Hollywood is a town that has some stars on the sidewalk. I don’t know anybody from there…That’s like calling you a ‘type’ of folks. I’m not a Hollywood folk. I don’t know who they are.” Katie corrected herself, saying, “OK, all right, well, let me rephrase the question. Are you one of those people that–” However, he interrupted her before she could finish: “Ah, there you go,” he said. “‘Am I one of those people?’ Hmmm, isn’t that interesting?” Katie attempted to explain her question further, but he wouldn’t allow her. “No, don’t stop. I heard what you just said. ‘Am I one of those people?’ No, I’m not.” Katie tried a third time to rephrase her question, beginning to ask, “Are you an actor who would rather not–” but she was interrupted again. “No, I’m not that either,” he said. “I’m a human being. My job is acting.”
Despite their tense interaction, she told the podcast host that Denzel later “wrote a big cheque” to her colon cancer foundation, which she suspected may have been his way of apologizing. “I think he must have been having a really bad day,” she concluded.

Summer Walker Getting Choked By London On Da Track Has Fans Concerned
Summer Walker was yelling in pain in a clip of boyfriend London On Da Track choking her, making fans worried that their relationship is unhealthy.
A clip of Summer Walker looking super uncomfortable while her famous producer boyfriend London On Da Track has his hand gripped tightly around her neck has made its rounds on Twitter, and fans are worried that he was choking her way too hard. London and Summer have been dating since last year, when the two of them worked closely on Summer's debut album, Over It. Although it's been a minute since we've heard anything from this couple, it appears that they're still going strong. However, a video of London with his hand locked around Summer's neck has fans concerned that their relationship is toxic or even abusive.

In the clip, London appears to be choking Summer as he orders her to "say you love me." The expression on Summer's face certainly does not indicate that she is comfortable with his tight grip, and she repeatedly asks him to "stop." As London continues to demand that she tells him she loves him, Summer insists that "it hurts."
"It's supposed to be sexy, it hurts," she says while her neck grows stiffer. A laugh can be heard in the background, indicating that other people were present when this took place. "It is sexy," London insists, with his palm still wrapped around her neck. He then pushes her away from him, still gripping her throat. He continues to orders her to "say you love me," while she continues to cry out in pain. "Okay, I love you," she tells him, "Get off me." However, he doesn't oblige, instead squeezing her neck harder while she yells, "OW!" The clip finishes with the two of them pecking on the lips, implying that maybe it was all in good fun?
However, observers were seriously disturbed, noting that Summer did not appear to consent to the degree to which London was hurting her. The aggressive act has some fans worried that their relationship could be abusive.
