The outlet noted that police claimed it “escalated to the point where Shy grabbed a firearm and made a threat.” After West Hollywood Sheriff’s Deputies finally located Glizzy later that evening, he was arrested on a felony charge of making criminal threats.
“Records show he was released after about 4 hours behind bars on a $50,000 bond,” TMZ‘s report stated. “Our sources say police did not find a gun on Shy when he was arrested … and he denied ever threatening the girlfriend, who we’re told he’s been dating off and on for four months.”
On Wednesday, May 17, TMZ gave an update, reporting that Amaya Colon, the aforementioned ex-girlfriend, has filed a request for a restraining order against Glizzy because “he’s threatening to kill her, her family, her friends, and any man she dates in the future.” A temporary restraining order has been granted.
TMZ obtained the documents and relayed more concerning details:
“Amaya claims Shy has repeatedly told her he will kill her and her mother. She says he’s been making the threats ever since she broke up with him in April … and she says he sent her a text message that said, ‘Ima f*** ya life up.’
Amaya claims she started dating Shy in December but broke up with him on April 28 because she says he has ‘anger issues. She says Shy did not take the breakup well and things reached a head on May 13, when he was arrested for allegedly threatening her.”
Glizzy also allegedly texted Colon’s unnamed best friend, wriring, “Imma get her a** beat.”

Five years ago Roseanne Barr torched her career. After a tweet of hers was condemned as racist, the once-beloved performer saw the newly revived Roseanne cancelled and name verboten in Hollywood. It’s no shock that she’s still mad about it, but it appears she holds extra ire for one person in particular.
As per Entertainment Weekly, Barr went on Megyn Kelly’s podcast, where she laid into Sara Gilbert, who played daughter Darlene. Instead of taking responsibility for her actions, Barr laid the bulk of her woes at Gilbert’s feet, who she said “stabbed” her in the back.
“It was her tweet that canceled the show,” Barr said. “And then she tweeted ‘It’s sad when one cast member,’ something about racist, blah, blah. And I was floored. I was just floored. And you know, but she ends up owning my work and Tom Werner becomes her partner in owning my work.”
Barr said she was particularly taken aback Gilbert, she said, had “begged me to come back saying, ‘I’ve got your back. This time I won’t let anyone at you. I won’t let anyone hurt you. I’m gonna protect you. I know you have mental health problems, but I’m gonna be there. I’m gonna stand in the way.’”
Of course, Roseanne may have been cancelled but it didn’t exactly die. Instead it came back as The Conners, which brough back everyone save Barr. Her character was killed off, which Barr perceived as a message.
“And you know, they just tried to kill me and I felt like they killed my character and my character,” she said, “but I thought they were sending a message over the airwaves because they knew I had mental health issues. I thought they wanted me to kill myself. And all my friends did too. They said, they’re trying to push you to suicide.”
Oddly enough, Barr has previously said she forgave Gilbert for publicly condemning her onscreen mom’s career-torching tweet. But clearly that was then.
You can watch Barr discuss Gilbert in the video below.

But on Wednesday, May 17, Beyoncé credited everyone making her Renaissance World Tour go. As expected with a tour this massive, there are a lot of names. People especially noticed one name, though: Natalia Bryant, the 20-year-old daughter of Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed in January 2020. Bryant is listed as an intern for Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment.
The Renaissance World Tour is in Cardiff, Wales, UK on Wednesday night (May 17) before jetting to Edinburgh for a show this Saturday, May 20. Beyoncé will begin her North American leg in Toronto on July 8-9 and end it in New Orleans on September 27.
On Wednesday, George Santos narrowly avoided comeuppance: The day after House Democrats announced a resolution to vote on his possible expulsion, House Republicans came to his defense by killing the motion. They may have only delayed the inevitable a little bit, but Santos was surely feeling a bit better about himself — even as had to endure the slings and arrows of his colleages’ heckling.
As per Mediaite, footage shows that, as Santos spoke to reporters after his carcass was spared (for now), he had to contend with a couple hecklers: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman (who, like him, both representing New York).
“You’ve got to resign, bro!” Bowman said, not loudly but enough that the camera picked up what he said.
They were in no way deafening, but their words were enough to throw Santos off. “I can’t continue to address you guys because there is a deranged member here,” he told reporters.
Soon thereafter Bowman found himself in a real shouting match with one of Santos’ fellow GOPers. Video caught him squaring off with Marjorie Taylor Greene, the two sparring over guns, over immigration, over Santos, etc. Eventually Ocasio-Cortez intervened, pulling Bowman away while informing him, “She ain’t worth it, bro.”
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who heckled George Santos mid Santos-gaggle moments ago, in a tiff with MTG outside the Capitol steps.
There has been ample discourse about Morant’s actions and what comes next in terms of punishment from the league, with some like J.J. Redick wondering why he should face a substantial punishment for something that isn’t illegal. On Wednesday night, prior to Game 1 of the Heat-Celtics series, the TNT crew had a strong discussion on the topic and addressed a lot of what they’d been hearing from other talking heads about the situation.
The full 10-minute conversation can be watched above, starting with Kenny Smith explaining how NBA contracts come with a morality clause and noting that he’s tired of hearing about how Morant needs new friends, because “at some point it’s not your friends, it’s you.” He also says that, the good news in the situation, is nothing bad has happened…yet. There’s time for him to make the changes and have the only thing he’s done be hurting his image, but that if changes don’t happen, he’s inviting something much worse from people who want the power, access, and money he has.
Charles Barkley, unsurprisingly, takes a more blunt approach, likewise calling for Morant to “look in the mirror,” while noting that when you’re in the position he’s in, you get held to a different standard than most people. “When you’re making $100 million a year to play sports, your life changes,” Barkley says. “There are certain rules and regulations you have to live by, plain and simple. You can’t do stupid stuff. That’s the trade off!”
Shaq followed that point up by saying that you’re one of the faces of a multi-billion dollar business, you can’t do those things, which Kenny piggybacks to point out that if something happens to Morant, that impacts an awful lot for the Grizzlies and the league.
It’s not often the entire Inside panel is on the same page on something, but in this instance they are and each hopes to see Morant accept the responsibility that comes with his position before something actually bad can happen.
Prior to the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, TNT aired a special sit down between Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The pair of Laker greats were never on the best terms during O’Neal’s career, but have reconciled of late, most notably after LeBron James passed Kareem as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer when the legend spoke with the Inside the NBA crew and made sure to let Shaq know that he loved him and was a fan of his game.
It was an incredibly touching moment that you could tell meant the world to Shaq and led to Wednesday’s interview between the Hall of Famers. In that interview, they touched on their history, with Shaq apologizing to Kareem for being distant and the two talking through why that was, but they also touched on lighter subjects as well. One of those was a story Charles Barkley has told before about the first time he met Abdul-Jabbar that Shaq had to get confirmation on.
The meeting happened at Barkley’s first All-Star Game, where in the locker room prior to the game he approached Kareem while he was reading the paper in the corner and Abdul-Jabbar told him to go away.
Kareem confirmed that’s how his first meeting with Chuck went, noting “there were times where I just couldn’t be bothered,” while noting Barkley’s now making him pay for it. It’s a very funny anecdote made better by how much Shaq enjoys the mental picture of a young Barkley getting snubbed by one of his idols.
They followed the same model on Wednesday, May 17, as their latest Weedkiller update was accompanied by confirming the album’s next single, “Possession Of A Weapon,” will arrive next Wednesday, May 24.
“demidevils, the story continues,” Ashnikko captioned her Instagram post presumably teasing the “Possession Of A Weapon” video. “the next offering from the Weedkiller realm, ‘possession of a weapon’ !!!!! out may 24.”
They continued:
“due to reasons beyond my control, my album <em>Weedkiller </em>is now arriving August 25. I’ve spent the past few years building this world and i want the album to be perfect for you all to enjoy. there are more chapters to unfold in the story before the end is revealed. i know this news is disappointing but there are so many exciting things happening between now and then. I can’t wait to finally share my dystopian fae world with you !!!! thank you from the bottom of my bioluminescent heart for supporting me and my music! love u all! i would send each of you tiny thimblefuls of faerie nectar and honeycomb cake if i could!!!”
Ashnikko is scheduled to support Weedkiller on a world tour of the same name, beginning September 15 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. See all of her dates here.

Not all Trader Joe’s frozen meals were created equal, though, and it’s a huge disappointment to dig into a freshly heated bowl of food only to find out that it’s dry or flavorless. The grocery chain’s Asian-inspired dishes, in particular, can be a delicious hit or a huge miss. Thailand, China, India, Japan, Korea… they all have clearly inspired TJ’s chefs, with some mixed results. They’re crafted to feel quick and easy, prepared in the microwave, on the stove, or popped into the oven — and that’s not the best approach to all the dishes that the Asian continent has to offer.
To help you sort through this seemingly endless variety of TJ’s Asian-inspired frozen options, we’ve raided our local store (Manhattan, NYC) to figure out the winners and losers when it comes to taste, texture, and quality. The qualifiers: It’s pretty simple—to be included on this list:
A dish had to be widely available at Trader Joe’s stores.
The dish has to find an obvious inspiration in Asian cuisine, including those from South Asia.
Dishes are ranked from the worst to the absolute best.
At the very bottom of our list is this absolute monstrosity of a frozen dish, masquerading as kimchi and tofu soup. Extremely bland, with a stew-like consistency and only a whisper of kimchi flavor, I couldn’t stomach more than a few bites.
BOTTOM LINE:
If anything, the flavor could be described as pungent. The amount of sodium isn’t worth the mediocrity.
One of the main issues with some frozen dishes is their tendency to turn out watery after the microwave, which creates an instant dilution of flavor and doesn’t lend itself well to a rich texture. This shrimp bowl by Trader Joe’s is the perfect example. The idea of a sriracha shrimp bowl is on point, I’ll give them that, but the execution was lacking.
BOTTOM LINE:
There is a good amount of shrimp, which gives it some points, but the flavor was just too bland and watery to be enjoyable.
To put it bluntly, this take on a Thai-inspired pad Thai is just bad. If you are willing to heat it up and add your own spices and sauce, it could potentially be tolerable, but straight from the package it lacks an oomph that makes you want to go back for another bite.
BOTTOM LINE:
While it is advertised as having tofu, it has hardly any — a harbinger of the many problems with this dish.
I wanted to love this Indian-inspired vegetable biryani, but the kafta, or dumplings, were very dry and spongy in texture. The rice had a nice seasoning to it, and it was fairly filling, but that was probably the highlight of the dish.
BOTTOM LINE:
Rice being the highlight of your dish isn’t a great sign.
This Chinese-inspired wonton soup had good intentions but didn’t pull through in the end. Its first stumble was the addition of cilantro, which becomes an overpowering flavor and presence considering the general lack of other flavors. The wontons themselves taste fairly decent though the skin is prone to breaking.
There is no lack of shiitake flavor in this mushroom chicken, which comes in a large bag to heat up in the oven. The problem is that the flavor is a bit artificial-tasting. One of the best things about this dish is how tender the chicken is — thanks to TJ’s using dark meat rather than white — but a definite low is the strange taste and texture of the mushrooms.
This bowl knows what it’s doing—channeling all the best aspects of Chinese takeout. Inside, a hefty portion of orange chicken sits atop fried rice. Most Trader Joe’s Asian-inspired microwave meals call upon white rice, so this was a tasty change of pace.
BOTTOM LINE:
Probably the best part was the orange chicken sauce, which comes in a separate packet. My main gripe is that it could do with more of that sauce.
A simple classic, beef and broccoli is a good option for a weeknight dinner, preferably served over rice. Trader Joe’s version is nothing groundbreaking, and the steps for preparing it are more tedious than most of the other dishes on this list—requiring the use of both the microwave and a frying pan. The result is a fairly sweet and slightly spicy, crispy beef that, while not tasting incredibly authentic, definitely hits the spot.
BOTTOM LINE:
Our first entry that we’d recommend, if the mood strikes and you don’t have a better option.
These crispy little nests are surprisingly delicious, with a quality that is honestly reminiscent of an appetizer you might find at a restaurant. They take a fairly long time to prepare at around twenty minutes in the oven, but the result is a crunchy bite with a well-rounded vegetable flavor.
BOTTOM LINE:
Bonus points to this one for splitting the sauce packet in two, in case you want to make the box last for two separate meals.
The ideal mate for garlic naan or malabari paratha, this saucy chana masala has a nicely developed flavor that would add to any Indian-inspired meal. Its mix of spices results in a really tasty bite, and it doesn’t hurt that the chickpeas are the perfect texture: not too mushy, but not underdone.
An absolute umami bomb thanks to the inclusion of sesame seeds and dried nori flakes, this Japanese-style fried rice is something I find myself purchasing again and again. It heats up easily in a pan to create a highly satisfying side dish.
BOTTOM LINE:
The only thing missing is some sort of protein to make it more filling.
It’s hard to beat the combination of creamy sauce, flavorful spinach basmati rice, and cubes of cheese—which is exactly what you’ll find in this freezer aisle take on Indian-inspired Paneer Tikka Masala.
BOTTOM LINE:
The consistency of the cheese is great, with the ideal softness that melts in your mouth but also doesn’t taste like mush.
Trader Joe’s take on a Thai-inspired green curry is impressive. It’s potentially one of the best lunch options for vegans and non-vegans alike, with a delicious coconut milk flavor, real green curry paste, vegetables, and tofu skins. For those sensitive to spice, it could be considered moderately spicy, but in a way that adds to the overall flavor.
BOTTOM LINE:
Exceelent but it could use the addition of more tofu skins.
Despite its lack of actual kimchi flavor, this Korean-inspired bulgogi beef fried rice is supremely tasty. The rice itself is a perfect consistency, with just the right amount of softness and chew. The beef is flavorful and fresh-tasting.
BOTTOM LINE:
I love that this dish can function as either a side dish or the main.
Dim sum lovers will agree that pork shu mai is a staple that never gets old. These ones are so easy to make, and a box of them is even easier to finish off (even if you didn’t originally intend to).
BOTTOM LINE:
While certainly not a main, a few of these with a little side of soy sauce is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up or accompaniment to a larger dish.
An excellent meatless option, this jackfruit curry doesn’t make me miss beef or pork—certainly not a small feat. It’s creamy, flavorful and satisfying, without making you feel stuffed.
BOTTOM LINE:
The jackfruit has a great texture that mimics meat in a non-weird way, and the creamy, slightly spicy yellow curry is delicious.
This take on the Americanized version of Indian butter chicken is an absolute freezer staple. It’s one of those dishes that just hits any time, and never hurts to have one on standby to have for lazy days.
BOTTOM LINE:
It has a rich and robust tomato flavor with a hint of cream, and a small kick of spice. Classic and very tasty.
As someone who regularly craves xiao long bao, these provide me with the quick fix I often need without having to make a stop at a dim sum restaurant. Obviously, they aren’t restaurant quality, and the skin of the dumplings tends to break, but they are very tasty and satisfying.
BOTTOM LINE:
The flavor of the pork is delicious, with just a hint of ginger coming through. Not restaurant-level but in the general ballpark.
When baked in the oven, the nuggets take on a really pleasing, even golden color. I appreciated that this larger bag also came with two separate sauce packets, allowing you to split the meal into two if you aren’t sharing or have it for lunch with rice.
BOTTOM LINE:
The chicken is soft on the inside with a crisp coating, and the sauce has a rich flavor that rivals the best takeout. This is as close to restaurant-level food as you’re going to find in the frozen aisle.
