I also had this shyt cause the media (especially internet media and folks on social media) get hard ons when black actors or black athletes fall on hard times.

These mothafukkas always circle jerk each other whenever a black entertainer is perceived to have money issues, lost material items or work low paying jobs.

tons of older actors and actresses are working normal 9 to 5s

I'm friends with a few...this is not news I really don't see the big deal

Article seems meanspirited

For real, people have no clue how many actors get maybe a handful of roles, some iconic, then their careers are done. Just being in a movie doesn't automatically mean you're set for life.

Same thing with athletes, there was a great article a while back by a Steelers/Patriots CB about lower tier athletes not making that much money (he ended up paying 3 leases at one time because he kept getting moved around).

EDIT: It was Hank Poteat I'm pretty sure, but I can't find the article online. Breh is a career journeyman. Not just as a player, but now post-career moving aorund to coaching jobs.

Just saw an article this morning about Bobby Cyz being broke and working as a bagger at ShopRite
Notice the difference in how the author of the articles talk about Cyz and Elvin.
SMH

The boxer who became a bagger

They make an alcoholic fukk up like Cyz a victim in a tragedy, but my boy Elvin is just living life and they go out their way to demean him and try to humiliate him. SMH

Wow, that’s a COMPLETELY different take. I wonder why... :mjpls: fukk the article in the OP, all of the insults were uncalled for. Talking about his balding, stained t-shirt, and looking bloated :what:

Sidenote: That ShopRite in the article was the one closest to me when I lived in NJ (:scust:) when I was 10. Mick Foley had an autograph signing for his first book and I couldn’t make it. :to:
