• Kevin Hart Defrauded by Personal Shopper

Kevin Hart was defrauded of over a million dollars by his personal assistant. The personal assistant, Dylan Syer, who was arraigned before an NYC court this week was charged with grand larceny as well as other counts.

Syer had been hired by Hart in 2015 and was said to have been siphoning money from Hart’s credit cards for almost two years.

• Kim Kardashian-West Blasts Critics of North West’s Painting

Kim Kardashian-West came out swinging against critics of her daughter’s oil painting.

Kardashian-West had posted a picture of North’s oil painting showing trees, a river, mountain and a valley. The fact that she said the picture had been drawn by her 7-year-old was criticised widely as the paintings were seen to be too good to have been drawn by a 7-year-old. The picture has been compared to Bob Ross’s artwork and accusations have been thrown online that Kardashian had photoshopped North’s signature on a picture by someone else.

In response to the critics, Kardashian-West posted a lengthy message on her Instagram stories that started with “DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!”

She went on to claim that North had been working on oil paintings for several weeks now, and that was the result of her hard work and condemned the “grown adults breaking whether or not my child actually painted this!”. She ended her piece with “NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERIOTDDDDDDABCDEFGZFDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Well, Mama Bear didn’t come to play.
