In March 2016, the personal email account of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, was hacked in a spear-phishing attack. WikiLeaks published his emails in November 2016. Proponents of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory falsely claimed the emails contained coded messages that connected several high-ranking Democratic Party officials and U.S. restaurants with an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring. One of the establishments allegedly involved was the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, D.C.[6][7]
transgender actress Alexis Arquette is shifting the focus from race to sexuality. The Daily Mail reports that the 46-year-old sister of Oscar winner Patricia Arquette and her actor siblings David and Rosanna, has accused both Jada, 44, and her husband Will Smith, 47, of being in the closet.
Alexis is said to have made her surprising claims in a Facebook post that has since been deleted.
"When Jada comes out as gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him … servicing his Sugar Daddy Benny Medina … then I will listen to them," Alexis wrote, adding, "'She' being his FIRST wife. Paid off, silent."
That would be Sheree Zampino, who was divorced from Will in 1995 after three years of marriage and one son. Medina is a powerful Hollywood manager who has guided the careers of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, among others.
While Alexis has solid inside-Hollywood connections as a member of the Arquette acting family, her curious timing has some on Twitter calling the gay allegation old news and asking if she's just using the #OscarsSoWhite debate to boost her own profile.
And there's the fact that either she or the Facebook powers that be deleted the post.
It's not the first time Will has been involved in a gay-related controversy, though. After playing a homosexual character in his 1993 breakout film Six Degrees of Separation, he was criticised for refusing to pash a male actor while in character.
"Will threw a fit on the set of ['Six Degrees of Separation'] when he was required by the scene to kiss Anthony Rapp," Alexis wrote, referencing the '90s story. "He persuaded the director to shoot the back of his head in frame. Blocking the non existent lip lock entirely."
