Keke Palmers babys father learned the consequences of bringing relationship mess to the public for no good damn reason.

In July, dude (whose name I still havent bothered to learn) was run off of anything resembling social media by a digital pitchfork-wielding mob for tweeting his disapproval of Palmer wearing a bethonged bodysuit under a sheer dress while being serenaded by Usher during his Las Vegas residency show.

Social media was quick to remind him that Palmer was out in public three-quarters naked before he ever impregnated her and that giving birth shouldnt relegate any woman let alone one younger than 30 to a life of wearing only burqas and that one discolored hoodie with the spit-up stains out of some antiquated sense of maternal respect.

To her credit, Palmer handled the tantrum like an ace and issued the ultimate clapback a month and a half later by way of Boyfriend , a new Usher song and video with the lyrics Somebody said that your boyfriend is looking for methats cool. Palmer appears to be having great fun in the video, which shes in more than Usher himself, and gives a cheeky little nod to her (presumably) now-estranged boyfriends tweet at the end.

Even the most stout-hearted humans have soft spots. Yours truly included. But theres a difference between having insecurities and being an insecure person. Its a tough thing to quantify, but spotting a fragile person is easy when you spend enough time with one and realize you want to stop doing just that.

Insecure men tend to make women suffer their miasma of fragility before anyone else weve seen a good amount of this from famous (or famous-adjacent) men this summer.

Future, the patron saint of the aint-shit dude, dropped a quick and casual fuck Russell on his Quavo collab Turn Yo Clic Up. Its an obvious shot at NFL star Russell Wilson, the current husband of Futures ex, Ciara, and their sons stepdad.

Family dynamics are complicated, and Wilson, indeed, might be different behind closed doors than the good father and husband that he projects publicly (and which many men are convinced is a lie just because). But Future has a history of shading Wilson, and with real children involved, hurling insults on wax feels like bitter, unhealed ex behavior.

(Some folks believe Wilson responded by being a cool stepdad and impregnating Futures ex once again.)

Rapper DDG, whom I only know exists because hes in a relationship with everyones favorite mermaid, Halle Bailey, cut a song on his new album called Famous in which he expresses naked insecurity in having a partner whose success eclipses his.

Among the tracks thoughtful lyrics: Hardest thing I did was fall in love with a famous bitch and Filming a movie now you kissing dudes/You know I love you a lot/I dont give a fuck if that shit for promo/I dont wanna see this shit no more.

DDG responded to the negative feedback, insisting that everyone give him creative leeway . But considering Bailey hasnt said anything publicly about Famous, Id wager shes not thrilled with being called a famous bitch by her man.

Finally, actor Jonah Hill had a bad time because his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady saw fit to violate his privacy by airing out their old texts (grimy behavior on her part). We learned, among other things, that Hill wasnt cool with Brady, a professional surfer before he got to her, being photographed surfing in bikinis. Which is like asking a Starbucks barista to lay off being seen in green aprons.

Hill couched his demand that Brady stop being attractive to other men in a list of his boundaries, which experts acknowledge is therapy speak leveraged as a means of control.
