#Lizzo
o The singer is denying allegations made in a lawsuit saying she allegedly weight shamed dancers and exposed the to a hostile work environment.
o In an Instagram this morning she wrote, “These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized.”
o She added that the allegations are “sensationalized stories coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
o She closed saying, “"I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.”
o One person who has come forward is a woman named Sophie Nahli Allison who is backing up everything those dancers claiming about the singer.
o She spent some time with Lizzo because she was planning to direct a documentary about her.
o She quickly passed on the project because Lizzo was disrespectful, arrogant, self-centered, and unkind.
o And she says other women have come to her with similar horror stories.

o The billionaire business magnate and Meta co-founder’s love of MMA is causing some issues at home.
o He is so serious about it that he built an octagon in his back yard.
o The problem is he didn’t give his wife, Priscilla Chan, a heads up about it.
o He shared a text exchange they had, where he asked her if she saw it.
o She replied, "Yes, I saw it." He texted back, "It looks awesome," and her reply was simply, "Mark."
o That one word speaks volumes, and he got the message. So he told her, quote, "We have plenty of yard space!"
o And she replied, quote, "I have been working on that grass for two years."
o So now he's polling his followers, asking them if he should "Keep the Octagon" or "Save the grass."

o How does unlimited pancakes for only $5 sounds?
o They're doing it for their 65th anniversary, which was actually last month. But it runs from now through August 27th.
o They'll bring out two at a time. Then once you've finished those, you can get two more, and two more, and so on.
o It's only for their normal buttermilk pancakes though. All other pancakes are still full price.
