We begin this week’s “Back in the Day Buzz” with a bizarre story about former Destiny’s Child member Farrah Franklin, who appears to have partaken in one too many beverages.
To be exact, Franklin was arrested earlier this week for disorderly conduct after falling asleep/passing out in a random person’s front yard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The story is really quite sad and worrisome when you consider that the two men Franklin had been with earlier in the night believe that she was on drugs.
Franklin denies this claim, and simply says she was drunk and had nowhere else to sleep. Sounds far fetched – we hope Farrah is okay and this was one isolated incident.
By the way – the two men she had been with that night – were none other than NFL players Da’Quan Bowers and Ricky Sapp!
Next, we were happy to read on the Backstreet Boys website that they have cancelled their shows in Tel Aviv for next week, due to the unrest and obvious violence in the region. This seems like the no-brain move to do, especially with the recent tragedy involving Russia, the Ukraine and all of the innocent people who were on that airplane.
Speaking of which, I have been thinking a lot lately about all of the innocent lives that were lost on that day. It’s especially disheartening when I hear of not only the husbands, wives, sons and daughters on that plane; but also the fact that there were nine of the top AIDS researchers in the world on board. Potentially, there could have been a cure on that plane…
We continue to pray for all individuals touched by that tragedy and of course, all others in the world.
Until next time, thanks for reading – take care, and keep livin’ the 90’s dream!!
