*YouTube has demonetized several videos on Candace Owens‘ channel because she allegedly “misgenders” people.

Owens is accused of hateful speech for misgendering or deadnaming males who suffered from gender dysphoria and identify as women, NBC News reports.

The conservative commentator said YouTube gave her “an option to delete every video that I’ve ever done pertaining to gender in which I have accurately gendered someone.”

Google spokesperson Michael Aciman said the company blocked ads on “several videos on Candace Owen’s channel for violating our monetization policies, including those against hateful and derogatory content.”

It’s worth noting that YouTube does not have a strong history of enforcing its censorship rules on racist content creators who disparage Black people (especially Black women) or videos heavily laced with the N-word. But call a man who “identifies” as a woman “a man,” and such language falls under the platform’s guidelines on hateful and derogatory content.

The platform claims it will remove creators and/or demonetize clips that promote “discrimination, disparages, or humiliates an individual or group of people.”

Aciman noted this includes “deliberate deadnaming or misgendering of transgender individuals.”

Meanwhile, in a video released in August 2021 on YouTube, Owens said the “trans movement represents a caricature of what it means to be a woman.”

Former child star Orlando Brown was back in police custody last week after he was arrested on misdemeanor assault charges.

The former That’s So Raven star was arrested on Thursday in Lima, Ohio, and held on a $25,000 bond, NBC San Diego reports. Police were called to a residence where they witnessed a verbal dispute they feared would turn violent.

Brown was arraigned on Friday in Lima Municipal Court and charged with aggravated menacing. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor assault charges, Fox News reports. According to an arrest report, a relative said Brown was acting “crazy” and “came at him with a hammer and knife in a threatening manner.”

The relative said Brown had been staying with him for about two weeks because the actor is homeless and they “did not want him to go to a homeless shelter.”

Brown is no stranger to run-ins with the police. The Major Payne star has been arrested in the past for domestic battery, resisting arrest, and drug possession.

During a 2018 appearance on Dr. Phil, Brown opened up about his battle with substance abuse including drinking, drugs, and even using and selling crystal meth at one point, People reports.

“Just the influence and the demons that come with that drug kind of took over,” Brown told Dr. Phil.

“A lot of drinking is what happened,” Brown continued.

“I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody. It’s kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they’re right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I’m good.”

Police arrested and charged a New York City man for a hate crime after he threatened three Black men and one white man with a knife Wednesday night, according to NBC News.

John Borzumato, a 58-year-old white man, confronted the group of men in a Staten Island neighborhood “unprovoked,” the NYPD told NBC News.

Borzumato is accused of spewing racial slurs, including the N-word, at the men because they parked their vehicle on Carlyle Green, according to law enforcement, Staten Island Advance/SILive.com reports.

Borzumato, intoxicated, yelled, “You n—— don’t belong here,” Borzumato said, based on a criminal complaint. “You n—— have to get out of here,” NBC News reports.

According to police reports, witnesses held Borzumato back, causing him to drop his knife. Still, he continued to argue with one of the men, who happened to be his neighbor, 20-year-old Nathaniel Garcia, according to NBC News.

Borzumato shoved Garcia, who punched Borzumato, “causing him to fall to the ground and strike his head,” the NYPD said.

Borzumato was knocked unconscious and was taken to a nearby hospital. He faces charges of a hate crime in the second degree, menacing in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and harassment in the second degree, according to a criminal complaint. He is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 27.

Garcia faces charges of assault in the second and third degrees and harassment, his attorney, Adam Uris, said to NBC News.

“It’s our belief that once the court has the opportunity to look at the evidence and interview the witnesses in this case, that they will decide not to prosecute this matter,” Uris said.

“We’re going to aggressively defend this case until Mr. Garcia is proven innocent.”

Krystle Garcia-Bustamante, Garcia’s mother, told NBC News her son was defending himself and his friends.

“He was yelling at them, calling them the N-word and telling them ‘one of you n—— is going to die tonight,’” Garcia-Bustamante, who spoke to her son via FaceTime after the incident, said.

On Monday, March 29, Williams, via his son Chavoita LeSane, told NBC News, “We don’t know all the details of what happened, but we don’t condone anyone hitting anyone else unless it’s in self-defense.”

LeSane said his father was just as surprised as anyone when Smith smacked Rock while onstage after the funnyman told Pinkett Smith, who is currently suffering from alopecia, which causes hair loss, “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see ya.”

Still, when asked about Smith’s acceptance speech, during which he tearfully apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, neither LeSane nor his 80-year-old father cared to elaborate.

Many people have weighed in on the incident, with Smith receiving a lot of backlash from the comedy world, including comedian Kathy Griffin who wrote on Twitter, “Let me tell you something, it’s a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a comedian. Now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.”

Smith took to his Instagram page Monday evening, where he delivered an official statement on the matter. He stated, “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”

He continued, “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. ”

*The police department in Trenton, New Jersey is being sued by a Black man who was shot and paralyzed by police officers last month.

Jajuan R. Henderson, 29, was ambushed by a group of plain-clothed officers as he went to his car to retrieve an iced tea shortly after midnight on Feb. 12, NBC News reports.

“In the middle of the night, Jajuan sat lawfully parked in a car with the engine turned off when an unidentified dark car approached and parked next to him, boxing him in,” the suit reads. “A group of men, fully masked and in dark plain clothes, then jumped out of this mysterious vehicle and began yelling at Jajuan.”

An NFL player was arrested after allegedly walking naked into a children’s learning center in Florida.

According to NBC Miami, a defensive lineman from the Cleveland Browns, Malik McDowell, was arrested on Monday, Jan. 17, in Broward County for allegedly exposing himself near a children’s learning facility and assaulting a deputy.

McDowell allegedly charged a police officer with a closed fist and started hitting the officer and striking the deputy in their right eye. McDowell continued punching the deputy and eventually fled on foot before being arrested after officers used a Taser on the football player.

The deputy reported a swollen eye and suffered an ankle injury that left the deputy unable to walk without assistance.

The 25-year-old McDowell was taken into custody and is facing several charges. Records show that he has been charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.

After appearing in court on Tuesday, he was given a $31,000 bond, for which he bonded out later in the evening. According to his attorney, Adam Swickle, he feels McDowell may have been slipped or given something that he did not know about, which could explain the bizarre behavior he was displaying when he was apprehended.

TMZ Sports posted a video of McDowell’s arrest. He is seen sitting down naked on the curb surrounded by police officers in the footage. He is then placed on a stretcher and then led away to be taken to the hospital.

WARNING: Nudity

“We are aware of the very concerning incident and arrest involving Malik McDowell and are in the process of gathering more information,” said the Cleveland Browns in a written statement. “We understand the severity of this matter and our thoughts are for the well-being of all involved. We will have no further comment at this time.”
