Ari Lennox Says She's Been Arrested in Amsterdam For "Reacting to a Woman Racially Profiling Me"

-

R&B singer Ari Lennox has reportedly been arrested in Amsterdam following a racial profiling incident. The Shea Butter Baby singer tweeted early Monday morning that she was allegedly profiled by Amsterdam's airport security, writing, "F*ck Amsterdam security. They hate black people."

Ari announced her arrival in Amsterdam just an hour before her series of tweets began. A Twitter user took screenshots of her other tweets before they were deleted, in which she said, "Wow Amsterdam I'm horrified. I was so happy to travel and this evil woman . . . I've never experienced racism so blatant." She also tweeted, "I just want to go home. I'll never leave my house again."

Ari's overseas incident comes just after her performances at the 2021 Soul Train Awards that aired on BET on Sunday night. She performed her latest single, "Pressure," along with her collaboration with Summer Walker, "Unloyal." Additional details surrounding the incident have yet to be confirmed. The last statement Ari tweeted was, "I'm being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me." We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity.

Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
