Gabrielle Union Felt 'Broken' after Dwyane Wade Had a Child with Another Woman

In her second memoir, You Got Anything Stronger?, Gabrielle Union details the raw emotions she experienced upon learning that her now-husband Dwyane Wade's tryst with another woman produced a child. “To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience. There are people—strangers who I will never meet—who have been upset that I have not previously talked about that trauma,” the Being Mary Jane actress confessed. “I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy I am not sure I have them now. But truth matters.” Xavier Wade was born in 2013, a time when Union and Wade say that they were "not in a good place" and decided to press pause on their relationship. The pair later reconciled. They married the year following the child's birth in 2014.

Trinidad and Tobago's Minister of Health Rebukes Nicki Minaj's COVID Tweets

Terrence Deyalsingh, Trinidad and Tobago's Health Minister, rebuked Nicki Minaj Wednesday over tweets, which claimed that someone on the island of Trinidad suffered swollen testicles and impotence caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. "One of the reasons why we could not respond yesterday in real-time to Miss Minaj is that we had to check and make sure that what she was claiming was either true or false," said Deyalsingh, according to CNN. "Unfortunately, we wasted so much time yesterday running down this false claim." Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, also responded to Minaj's claims. "I'm not blaming her for anything—but she should be thinking twice about propagating information that really has no basis as except a one-off anecdote, and that's not what science is all about," said Fauci.
