House
Kim Kardashian
spoke at a criminal justice reform event at the White House.
The mother-of-four,
who has been advocating criminal justice reform, was at the event to promote
efforts to help those leaving prison return to find work.
She was greeted by
US President Trump on arrival and later took the stage to announce a ride-share
partnership where ex-prisoners are given gift cards so that they can travel to
and from interviews.
Kim said: "Everyone wants the community to be safe, and the more
opportunity we have and that they have and the support that we help give them,
the safer everyone will be."
While on her way to
the event on Thursday afternoon, Kim Kardashian tweeted a video of herself and
wrote:
"I am heading to the White House to speak at the second chance hiring and
re-entry event."
She added in another tweet that she was "honoured to be a part of the
announcement that the administration and the private sector are stepping up to
create opportunities for these men and women to succeed once home."
Surveillance video shows Cuba Gooding Jr. 'touching the thigh and
breast' of his accuser in the presence of his girlfriend (Watch)
Surveillance video
which appears to show Cuba Gooding Jr. touching the thigh and breast of
the woman accusing him of groping has been released.
In the video
obtained by TMZ, Gooding and his girlfriend, Claudine De Niro were
sitting on a couch in the Magic Hour Rooftop Lounge in NYC, when
the accuser came and sat down next to them. Almost immediately, Gooding
reached over Claudine and gently placed his hand on the accuser's left thigh.
Seconds later, his
hand moves up to her breast before the accuser puts her hand on his. What
happens next is open to interpretation.
The video also shows another man who walked over and then stood in front of the
group. He placed his hands on the shoulders of Gooding and the accuser, as he
spoke to them before taking away a drink away from the actor's hand. A few more
people join the group, and everyone's casually chatting for a few more minutes.
They all walk away separately but in the same direction about 3 minutes
after the initial touching. There's no argument.
A few minutes later, Cuba and Claudine were downstairs lounging on a couch and
making out. A security man for the bar, was standing next to the couch when the
accuser approached him and started arguing.
According to
TMZ, the accuser whose face was blurred to protect her identity, told the
security: "Yes, he did."
While the pair were
still arguing, Cuba got up, stumbled and then walked right past the accuser and
left. Claudine and the security guard immediately followed him as he
left.
This comes after the Oscar-winning actor was arrested yesterday evening on
suspicion of forcible touching after he turned himself in.
According to
police, Gooding touched a woman without her consent on Sunday night in Midtown
Manhattan. The woman filed a police report.
The 29-year-old
woman told cops the actor grabbed her breast while they were socializing around
9 p.m. at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge on 7th Avenue in Midtown. She
also claimed that Gooding was “highly intoxicated” and that, after the alleged
grab, she got into an argument with him that had to be broken up by security.
Gooding denied the
accusations when approached by TMZ on Wednesday. “I trust the system and the
process,” he said. “There’s a tape that shows what really happened. That’s the
most important thing.”
