It was reported that actor Nelsan Ellis had passed away at the age of 39.
He was known for playing the gay flamboyant medium Lafayette Reynolds in the horror-drama True Blood on HBO. He had passed away from complications of heart failure.
"He was a great talent, and his words and presence will forever be missed," said his publicist Emily Gerson Saines to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ellis was on True Blood from 2008 until its series finale in 2014.
"We are extremely saddened to hear the passing of Nelsan Ellis," said HBO in a statement on Saturday. "Nelsan was a long-time member of the HBO family whose groundbreaking portrayal of Lafayette will be remembered fondly."
Ellis who was born in Harvey, Illinois was talented. He was of seven children.
Ellis played the role of a gay medium named Lafayette Reynolds.
He briefly joined the U.S. Marines before he left to join acting. He was cast as a short order cook in the pilot for True Blood before he landed the role of Lafayette.
He would had "act gay" while playing the character.
"I have more makeup on than any of the females in the cast. Once they get me with the fake eyelashes and the eye makeup, I listen to some Rihanna and I'm there," said Ellis.
He recently landed a role in Elementary as Shinwell Johnson.
He played the roles of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Lee Daniels hit movie The Butler.
He leaves behind a grandmother, a father, his siblings and his son.

The A.V. Club reports on the live of this great entertainer.
Born in South Carolina, he was inspired to be a musician just like his father. He attended the Berklee College of Music before dropping out. He would get a gig playing for Cameo in 1995.
He would later move to Los Angles working for Patti LaBelle. He was soon discovered by Prince and joined him on tour during his time.
I can picture John and Prince making music together in the other life.
He will be missed by many. He leaves behind a wife Yaritza.
A mass shooting at a gender reveal party in Cincinnati.
It keeps happening.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. MASS SHOOTINGS ARE AN ACT OF TERRORISM. DONALD J. TRUMP AND CONGRESS ARE INEPT AND NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE. NOTHING WILL BE DONE DESPITE THE STEVE SCALISE SHOOTING. NOTHING WILL BE DONE DESPITE ORLANDO, SANDY HOOK, SAN BERNARDINO AND OTHER MASS SHOOTINGS. BANS ARE STUPID. BANNING TRAVELERS FROM MUSLIM NATIONS IS A DISTRACTION. WE HAVE MORE AMERICANS BEING RADICALIZED BY A POLARIZING LEADER, AN INEPT CONGRESS AND A JUNK FOOD MEDIA PUMPING THIS "US AGAINST THEM" RHETORIC. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION IS THE BIGGEST PROVOCATEUR OF GUN VIOLENCE. THE PRO-WHITE, PRO-GUN, AND PRO-STUPID LOBBYIST GROUP CONTINUES TO RAKE IN MILLIONS TO ALLOW FIREARMS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS. FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP. ENOUGH WITH THE "THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS." AMERICANS DON'T HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DEAD. IT'S THE CONSTANT BLAMING POLITICS AND INDIVIDUALS OTHER THAN THE SHOOTER.
There was a another mass shooting in Cincinnati.
Donald J. Trump, Governor John Kasich, Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman were notified about the latest mass shooting in home in Colerain Township, a suburban region in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Three children were shot along with six others in a mass shooting at a "gender reveal party."
This shooting killed a woman.
It happened at home in Colerain Township just a few blocks from Northgate Mall.
The children who were shot weren't injured badly. One woman was killed and a few adults were seriously injured.
Police scanners said that there maybe two shooters involved. These terrorists are on the loose at present time.
The partygoers were watching a movie when gunfire rang out.
This is could be a potential terrorist attack on a group of people celebrating a pregnancy.
This event comes about a month after the Cameo Night Club shooting. At least 20 people were wounded and two people were killed.
One of the alleged shooters was killed in the nightclub attack. The nightclub was permanently closed and the Cincinnati Police and FBI are still determining how this tragedy occurred.
What happens in the bedroom is nobody's business. However if the party doesn't consent to sexual conduct, then it's rape. RAPE IS NOT A JOKE. RAPE IS NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT. RAPE IS A CRIME. RAPE VICTIMS ARE OFTEN SHAMED BY THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY DRESSED. NOBODY SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO BEING SHAMED FOR BEING HUMAN. PROSTITUTION IS THE WORLD'S OLDEST PROFESSION. IT'S THE TRADE OR BARTER OF SEXUAL SERVICES BY A MAN OR WOMAN. IT'S ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES TO ENGAGE IN CONSENSUAL SEX FOR PROFIT. IT IS LEGAL IN SEVEN COUNTIES IN NEVADA. IT'S A TOUCHY SUBJECT THAT OFTEN GETS CHALLENGED IN COURT.
The tiny village of Phillipsburg, Ohio is located 15 miles from Dayton. The village population is 500.
Justin Sanderson, a Phillipsburg cop was arrested for rape. According to Vandalia Police, this dirty cop was accused of raping two women whom he met on Backpage.
He was wearing his uniform and had his police cruiser parked at a local hotel at the time of the incident.
One woman filed a report early this month.
The two women claimed that Sanderson claimed he was an Ohio State University police officer.
The women claimed that he met them at a Knights Inn. The three agreed to pay for sex. He got a key to the room where the women were staying and forced himself on the women while in uniform.
Sanderson is being charged with rape. He posted bail out of the Montgomery County lockup and is on in-house. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
He is currently placed in the freezer pending. He will likely hire a lawyer, get the backing of his police union and claim he was the "victim."
DeRay McKesson is being sued by a East Baton Rouge deputy for his injuries. The representatives of the deputy claim that McKesson made a terrorist travel from Kansas City to murder Baton Rouge police officers.
The Baton Rouge shooting of Alton Sterling and the Minneapolis/St. Paul shooting of Philando Castile riled up a terrorist. The terrorist went to Baton Rouge to extract revenge against the officers who allowed lawful carry Black men die at the hands of police.
Sterling was armed when confronted at a local store. He was shot after the officers took him down and saw a gun in his pocket. There was video recordings of the incident. The officers walked in the case.
Castile was armed when pulled over in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. He was shot after the officer claimed he was reaching for the gun. There was video recordings of the incident. The officer walked in the case.
The terrorist named Gavin Long was a military veteran from Kansas City. He traveled to the East Baton Rouge Parish to extract revenge. He was killed after a 20 minute firefight with the law.
Three officers were killed in the July 2016 incident. He ended up wounding 6 officers with his high powered firearms.
Nick Tullier claims Black Lives Matter shot him. The representatives of this deputy are suing the group for inciting violence.
Later that month, Dallas Police officers were ambushed by another terrorist who was angered by White cops killing innocent Black people.
Conservatives were blaming Black Lives Matter and then president Barack Obama for the violence against cops. They ignored the real threat in the United States: Gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES/ FOR EVERY BAD COP, A GOOD COP WILL BE KILLED. IF YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO WEAR THE UNIFORM, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING A COP. BEING A COP IS A DANGEROUS JOB. IT'S UNPREDICTABLE. YOU DON'T OFTEN GET A PASS ON "LIFE OR DEATH." LAWFULLY ARMED AMERICAN WAVE THEIR RIGHTS TO OWN A FIREARM WHEN THEY INVOKE UNPROVOKED VIOLENCE AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS. DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE INEPT. THEY DON'T GET IT. THE UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD IN MASS SHOOTINGS AND DEATH BY FIREARMS. THESE STUPID ASS LAWMAKERS KNEE-TOE TO THIS GUN LOBBYIST GROUP CALLED THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. THE NRA MAKES MILLIONS PROMOTING PROPAGANDA PITTING "US AGAINST THEM." THE NRA IS PRO-WHITE, PRO-GUN, AND PRO-GENOCIDE.
THE REPUBLICANS PUSH TO REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, TRUMP'S BAN ON MUSLIMS, ROLLING BACK BANKING REGULATIONS, AND REFUSAL TO DEAL WITH GUN VIOLENCE ARE EXAMPLES OF PROTECTING WHITE SUPREMACY. THE CONGRESS WILL NOT TAKE UP ANY PROPOSALS TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND GUN VIOLENCE.
Now one of the cops is suing Black Lives Matter for his injuries.
The suit filed on Friday claims that Black Lives Matter "incites violence" and provoked the terrorist to attack cops.
Deputy Nicholas Tullier and his representatives are behind the lawsuit. Tullier was shot in the head and was left paralyzed from the injuries. He is the father of two.
This terrorist was inspired by police officers getting away with murder.
"Obviously at this point talk shows hosts were holding them responsible, and they were having to defend the blame and responsibility for what they had caused whether in whole or in part," the suit says.
The lawsuit blames DeRay McKesson, founder of Project Zero and prominent Black Lives Matter activist.
McKesson denounced the lawsuit and said that Black Lives Matter is a movement, not an organization.
So if there's proof that McKesson said "violent" threats against Baton Rouge Police and East Baton Rouge Parish deputies, then it may have a leg to stand on.
But suing a commentator is very hard. Because McKesson isn't a resident of the area, it's almost impossible.
The police determined that Venus Williams was not at fault for a fatal accident in June.
Palm Beach Gardens Police release a security video of the incident that happened back in June.
Tennis superstar Venus Williams was involved in an accident that killed a 78 year old man. The family of the victim is suing the tennis star for reckless driving.
Williams distraught about the situation claims that she didn't cause the accident.
Jerome and Linda Barson.
Video evidence shows that.
I took a look at the video on The Daily Mail's website. I observed the video and seen that Williams was at the green light. She paused for a vehicle and proceeded to turn on the left at red. That's when the vehicle being driven by Linda Barson collided with her.
Williams was driving a SUV and Barson was driving a mid-size car.
The victim was Jerome Barson. He was the passenger in the vehicle and he died a few days later.
The police report stated that Williams was "at fault."
But Williams' legal team obtained footage of the incident from the security guard booth at her gated community to dispute the charges.
The speed limit on Northlake Boulevard is 50 from the east and 55 from the west. It's a six lane highway that has peak traffic averaging at 10,000 per day. The Barsons were traveling west.
Williams who didn't not attend the preliminary hearing was at the Wimbledon tournament.
Based on the evidence determined by the video, it showed Venus Williams approached the intersection at a green light. She was about to travel north towards a nearby gated community.
She had to stop because another car turned in front of her nearly causing a collision.
The light was turning red when Williams was in the middle of the intersection. About that time, Linda Barson was approaching the intersection at red and it soon turned green. Barson was normal speed proceeded into the intersection and crashed into Williams.
Celebrity agitator and activist Amber Rose is cozying up with an Atlanta rapper who vocally embraces the gun culture and violence that plagues hip-hop. The 24 year old rapper is dating 33-year old model, actress and celebrity agitator.
The hottest and yes controversial act out of Atlanta is 21 Savage. He is the founder of Slaughter Gang and he just released his debut album Issa Album today.
21 Savage (born Shayaa Abraham-Joesph) signed to Epic Records and released mixtapes and his debut album through the label.
He also has Amber Rose on his arm. The rapper also took a page from her ex-husband.
"That's my girl, fo' sho. We just been kicking it, man. She's a real cool woman. She treats me like a king, so it is what it is. And no disrespect will be tolerated at all. Keep your mouth closed, no hoes, no bitches, no nothing. Because I'm pulling up on God," said the rapper on a local radio agitator.
He said that he won't allow anyone disrespect their relationship. It seems to be a dig at her ex and others who talked about her being active in the Slutwalk.
The Slutwalk is a transnational movement that calls for the end of the rape culture, including victim blaming and slut shaming the sexual assault victims.
Amber Rose (legally nee Levonchuck) was the former wife of Wiz Khalifa, the Pittsburgh rapper/singer and media mogul. They have a son named Sebastian.
Wiz Khalifa is very protective of his baby mama. He often goes after rappers when they mess with her. He took to social media to dismiss this fling as a "publicity stunt."
Rose previously dated Kanye West and Machine Gun Kelly. She is openly bisexual.
Kmart is extinct in the rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio.
The last Kmart in the Dayton area is closing. The store located in Riverside announced it will go out of business.
The end of an era.
Sears Holdings announced it will close 265 stores this year and this Kmart was on the list.
I went into the Kmart this year and noticed three things that gave me the strong possibility of its eminent closing.
There were empty shelves.
The store looks like it was still stuck in the 1980s.
Foot traffic was extremely light.
Most of you know that Kmart was once the third largest retailer in the United States. Now it's apparent that the store couldn't attract shoppers who head to Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Meijer.
View some of my pictures.
Yeah, it is sad that I see iconic brands like Kmart and Sears go under. I wished the situation would have turned around. Their leadership should have been more diverse to the consumer.
Are you sad to see Kmart and Sears go?
Are you sad to see your local Kmart and Sears close up shop?
Yeah, I am going to be sad about it. It will leave another empty box store in this community. I hate to see decay. I believe Dayton will be a ghost town in 20 years.
The unemployment numbers are out for the month of June. The Department of Labor says that for the month of June there were 222,000 jobs. However the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4%
It was expected to have 179,000.
Remember conservatives were saying the numbers were fudged. The news of a thriving economy wasn't true.
When then president Barack Obama touted a great economy, Donald J. Trump complained about it. He repeatedly rejected the government's monthly estimates as phony. Now he embraces them.
The labor market roared back in June, with this hefty monthly gain in jobs, and revisions that added 47,000 more jobs to April and May than previously reported. Over the past three months, job gains have averaged around 194,000 a month according to the New York Times.
Does he know that we're at the brink a retail collapse. The retail industry is about to collapse.
Sears/Kmart and many other entities are on the verge of collapse and Trump hasn't acknowledge any possible impact on the nation as a whole.
The broader measure of unemployment includes discouraged workers and those who are working part time but prefer full-time work.
Remember that 95 million people aren't working. It's apparent that many believe that Americans are lazy. Unfortunately, we break it down to actually address the real reasons to why people aren't working.
Trump and Republicans often ignore the reasons whenever Democrats are in power. We haven't.
BIRTH DEATH IN PRISON STAY-AT-HOME PARENT SERVING IN THE MILITARY RETIRED FIRED BY EMPLOYER QUIT ON THEIR OWN LAID OFF BY EMPLOYER DISABLED SCHOOL AGE (4-15) FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT NON PAYMENT VOLUNTEER WORK FEDERAL AGENCIES CUTTING JOBS
Many Americans are giving up on looking for work. That's an ominous sign that we're heading in the wrong direction. Reminder, Trump hasn't signed a major legislative law since.
Hospitality services and the medical field are hiring.
So Trump's G-20 Summit is still ongoing. Hopeful that this inept leader will not start World War III by pushing for military action against North Korea.
Who knows what goes on in the mind of a 71 year old man-child?
No neck brother got placed in the freezer after allegations of sexual harassment.
Fox News and Fox Business Network's Charles Payne was placed in the freezer pending an investigation into his misconduct when the cameras were off.
Fox suspends that Black no neck Obama bashing conservative agitator for allegedly sexually harassing Scottie Nell Hughes. She is claiming that the network is retaliating against her for reporting that to human resources.
This happened more than once and Hughes got fed up with it. So she decided to air it out.
Payne just recently signed on to another few years hosting his show Making Money.
Fox is taking this stuff seriously. 21st Century Fox released a presser.
"We take issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for any professional misconduct. This matter is being thoroughly investigated and we are taking all of the appropriate steps to reach a resolution in a timely matter."
Scottie Nell Hughes had an affair with Charles Payne. Both are married.
Payne is married and has children. His wife is beautiful and he would cheat on her.
There was allegations that Payne had an affair with an unknown analysis.
Payne is a part of the bootlicker club. He's trots around anti-Black and anti-Obama rhetoric.
Payne had this affair when his wife Yvonne was going through surgery. Payne and the accuser were engaged in this affair for nearly three years.
Scottie Nell Hughes was on the Fox Business Network for that amount of time. She is a married political analysis who currently freelances at CNN and other conservative outlets.
Payne was caught when the National Enquirer published Wednesday a bombshell article detailing the relationship. Payne quickly acknowledged his affair and apologized.
That relationship is being reviewed after the woman contacted Fox's law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison last month to report her allegations of sexual misconduct. The woman claimed that she was blackballed from the network after she ended the affair.
She tried to report Payne to the top brass. Then CEO Roger Ailes, former top man Bill Shine and current FBN president Neil Cuvato ignored it.
Payne is a Wall Street financial analysis who joined FBN when it launched in 2006. He's been on Fox News since 2003.
Payne has a beautiful wife. He cheated on her during her heart surgery.
This comes fresh after Fox Sports top executive Jamie Horowitz was fired out the cannon for sexual harassment complaints.
This event comes close to the bombshell report that Gretchen Carlson sued Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. It blew the lid off the network. Ailes was eventually fired out the cannon.
Bill O'Reilly, Stacey Dash, Bob Beckel and others were fired out the cannon for sexual harassment, racism and workplace discrimination.
Payne's days may be numbered. He may lose his wife. He may lose his job.
I'm not surprised.
Here's a bonus.
Sean "Softball" Hannity trying to put on his best Phil Hartman "Bill Clinton" doing a creepy tease towards a woman. This creep wanted her to join him and Hank Williams, Jr. backstage for a little action.
Standing at the end. Donald J. Trump goes to the G-20 Summit with half of the world leaders hating him.
Donald J. Trump heads to the G-20 Summit. He will meet Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin. He also confront leaders from the European Union concerned about America's role in the world under his leadership.
He already has embarrassed the world by being Trump.
The G-20 Summit is being held in Hamburg, Germany. The leaders from 20 of the worlds's richest nations discussed trade, North Korea, military strategy and intelligence.
Remember the junk food media was telling us that Trump will be presidential.
NO.
TRUMP IS TRUMP!
A mighty handshake to the Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Trump dismissed the allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Election and claimed that it was Barack Obama his predecessor's fault. He said it nobody really knows that who interfered in the election and said that Obama could have done more.
Trump insulted the intelligence agencies and the American press on foreign soil.
Then president Barack Obama imposed strict sanctions on Russia.
Trump called terrorism is a menace and "it must be stopped." We can't even stop gun violence in the United States. Inside our borders is extremism and state sponsored terrorism.
In Poland, Trump will probably start a "cold war" with Russia.
He will agree to a missile defense shield. He will also demand that the European Union stop unfair trade agreements with the United States. He will press China, South Korea and Japan to do something about North Korea.
Fight for the rights of all. The Women's March will protest the NRA, a pro-White gun group.
Big guns and tiny...... well you know!
The pot called the kettle black....!
I know you are but what am I?
This country has become more polarized and volatile. The extremism is getting worse.
I am a gun owner and I believe the time is now. We need to do something about this, now!
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE SO FUCKING INEPT. THEY DON'T GET IT. OVER 150 MASS SHOOTINGS THIS YEAR ALONE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO STOP THIS MADNESS. THE UNITED STATES LEADS THE WORLD IN DEATH BY FIREARMS. THIS GUN LOBBYIST GROUP CONTINUES TO RAKE IN MILLIONS TO PROMOTE PROPAGANDA THAT PITS AMERICANS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. THEY ARE A PART OF THIS FUCKED SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS WHITE SUPREMACY.
The National Rifle Association sends the geek squad to defend the actions of Dana Loesch.
Tokens please.
Colion Noir is the Black spokesperson for the NRA and this conservative agitator Grant Stinchfield went to the social media to denounce the left's attacks.
Noir's most recent post is from him, not the organization that he openly supports.
Here's the video of Stinchfield ranting about how the "violent left" instigates violence against "freedom-loving Americans."
The Women's March will protest the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia on July 15th.
The protesters are calling out NRA for their stupid video and their refusal to support the family of Philando Castile, the Minneapolis man shot by former cop Jeronimo Yanez.
Yanez killed Castile after the dirty cop claimed he was reaching for his gun. The whole ordeal was recorded by Diamond Reynolds and it became a discussion on police brutality and the right to carry.
They're calling out the NRA for protecting White supremacy.
Women's March co-chair Tamika Mallory said that folks like Noir and Stinchfield are trying to stop a movement that holds politicians and tone deaf organizations like the NRA accountable.
"We know that we are not safe. But we will not be intimidated into silence. Recent actions of the NRA demonstrate not only a disregard for the lives of Black and Brown people in America, but appear to be a direct endorsement of violence against women, our families and our communities for exercising our constitutional right to protest."
Died with his seatbelt on. The dirty cop shot Philando Castile who complied to his order. The NRA and the conservatives will not acknowledge this cop committed cold-blooded murder.
The Women's March Demands
Please join the Women's March and our partners in exercising our First Amendment rights by holding a mass mobilization for our safety, calling on the NRA to take the following actions:
1. Take down the recent irresponsible and dangerous advertisement videos from all social platforms immediately.
2. Issue an apology to the American people for the video that suggest armed violence against communities of color, progressives and anyone who does not agree with this Administration's policies.
3. Make a statement to defend Philando Castile's Second Amendment right to own a firearm and demand the Department of Justice indict the police officer who killed him for exercising his Second Amendment right and his privilege as a licensed concealed carry permit holder. This call is clearly in line with the mission and purpose of the NRA as an organization that purports to be the lobby and defender of the right to bear arms.
The NRA's top brass haven't responded to the concerns. They sent these geeks to defend the organization.
