British Comedienne's Fiery Rant Over Charlie Kirk's Assassination Sparks Outrage
SCANDAL ROCKS AMERICA AS COMEDIAN GINA YASHERE ROASTS CHARLIE KIRK'S MEMORY
In a shocking display of vitriol, British comedian Gina Yashere has unleashed a verbal tirade against the late Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old free-speech campaigner who was tragically gunned down in Utah last week. The actress, known for her sharp wit and sarcasm, claimed that Kirk "got what he had advocated for" because of his vocal opposition to gun control.
Yashere, 51, took to social media to express her disdain for the deceased, accusing him of being a "xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, racist, misogynist, and sexist" individual. She went on to say that Kirk's death was a direct result of his own actions, stating, "He wanted more guns on the streets. He didn't mind a few kids being shot to death in their classrooms or the odd Democrat being murdered in their home."
The comedian also took aim at Kirk's Christian faith, claiming that he would be headed straight for hell if such a place existed. In a bizarre remark, she added, "I don't believe in heaven and hell, but just in case there is, Charlie Kirk is going down there. And if he does, I hope he gets dropped off by a black pilot." This quip was clearly a reference to Kirk's comment last year about "positive discrimination" in favor of non-white pilots.
Yashere has been open about her own experiences as a lesbian and how she felt pressured to hide her identity in the UK. She fled Britain to escape being treated as "second best," finding freedom in America where she could proudly express herself. However, it seems that her newfound platform has given her a license to lash out at those who hold differing views.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, British aristocracy is still enjoying its fair share of pomp and circumstance. The Marchioness of Bath, Emma Weymouth, 39, donned a stunning Vivienne Westwood gown and gloves while wearing her family's three-peak Bath Tiara at a party at Longleat House in Wiltshire.
The marchioness has been making headlines for her fashion sense, but it seems that she's not the only one trying to keep up with the latest trends. Model Martha Sitwell, 45, was spotted at the Goodwood Revival event in West Sussex wearing a hat designed by Victoria Grant featuring an array of cigarette ends – a clear nod to her love of Marlboro reds.
In other news, it seems that former UK diplomat Peter Mandelson won't be packing his bags just yet. The 73-year-old Lord Mandelson has been staying at the British Ambassador's Residence in Washington, but he'll be remaining for at least another week due to his dog Jock requiring medical treatment before they can return to Britain.
However, it seems that Mandelson's furry friend has already stolen the spotlight with official social media posts jokingly referring to him as "the hardest working member of the Embassy." As for the Foreign Office spokesman downplaying the claim, we can't help but wonder if Jock really is running the show behind the scenes.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, 50, has been open about his struggles with weight, revealing that he's often guilty of overindulging in the kitchen. He joked about getting a "little MOT" from his doctor and being told to sort out his eating habits. Who can blame him, though? With all the delicious food on offer, it's no wonder he gets carried away.
Last but not least, actor Guy Pearce has shared an embarrassing encounter with late legend Sir John Hurt on the set of 2005's The Proposition. In a candid interview, Pearce recalled telling Hurt how much The Elephant Man meant to him, only for the veteran actor to dismissively tell him to "f* off" and stop talking about it.
Pearce couldn't help but chuckle at the memory, noting that meeting his heroes can be a recipe for disappointment. Note to self: Don't idolize anyone, or you might end up like Guy Pearce!
