Gambi flipping Jefferson on the ground when he wasn't thinking clearly :mjlol:

Khalil's aunt waking up and clowning on Cutter's outfit again :russ:

Tobias found himself a new recruit, something to do with the suitcase perhaps :ohhh:

Jennifer isn't making the best decisions, but she is loyal :ehh:

Her storyline is ruining the show for me, I’m so over her that ride or die shyt don’t make it any better cause now she doubling down on her stupid decisions. I blame the writers for not giving her a better reason to be acting like this.

BL on Mondays?..good. fukk Monday night raw.
These nikkahs have switched nights for every one of their shows at least once. When are they going to realize aside from Friday night it doesn’t matter what day the show airs. All it does is confuse the appointment tv watchers

OWN Scraps 'Love Is_' Amid Creator's Domestic Violence Lawsuit

'Love Is_'

The network had originally renewed the series for a second season back in July.


Love Is_ is no more at OWN. The romantic drama, which

received a second season
order back in July, has been retroactively canceled in the wake of domestic violence allegationslevied against co-creator Salim Akil.

To be clear, the allegations are unrelated to the Warner Bros.-produced drama. And a November and December internal inquiry is said to have revealed no evidence of abuse or assault relating to Love Is_ or Akil's other show at the network, The CW's Black Lightning. But the fact that actress Amber Dixon Brenner has filed a lawsuit claiming that she was Akil's longtime girlfriend, while during his marriage to Love Is_ co-creator Mara Brock Akil, took the wind out of the semi-autobiographical love story's sails.

Brenner's graphic lawsuit claims she and Akil began an affair a decade ago and were together up until 2017. During that time, the actress claims he hit her and photographed a sexual encounter without permission, among several other things.

Akil and Brock Akil have been something of Hollywood darlings for a time, with their massive success at BET with The Game and Being Mary Jane ultimately translating to a massive overall deal at Warner Bros. TV. (That pact remains in effect.)

For OWN, doing an about-face on Love Is_ is not the worst move. Though it premiered to relatively favorable reviews from critics, it was not the ratings darling that so many of the Discovery-owned network's original dramas have become. Among OWN's targeted women 25-54 demo, Love Is_ was the cabler's lowest-rated drama.

Akil has only spoken out about the allegations through his attorney, who issued the following statement in November: "These allegations are deeply upsetting — but they are also totally untrue. We will defend Salim to the fullest against the false and offensive claims that a woman with whom he had a past relationship has included in multiple unsubstantiated lawsuits. Salim looks forward to clearing his name and to being able to focus on his work and his family.”
