A Houston police officer has been “relieved of duty” after a wildly racist video showing her making bigoted remarks about Black people went super viral on social media. The incident has prompted an internal investigation and public backlash. According to Click2Houston, the Houston Police Department confirmed the officer, Ashley Gonzalez, has been under disciplinary action since the video surfaced, although officials have released little to no details about when or where it was recorded, or what led to the offensive rant. Gonzalez has reportedly completed more than 1,600 hours of law enforcement training, raising further concerns about how police officers are vetted for quality and character before being given a badge, a gun, and the power to decide life, death, freedom or incarceration. To state the obvious, character is not likely to be a prerequisite for becoming a police officer. Gonzalez is seen in a video proudly using the n-word with a hard -er multiple times as she lambasts melanated men and women for…existing. The Houston Police Officers’ Union reacted strongly, saying it was “extremely disturbed” by the footage and emphasized that racist conduct is not tolerated within its ranks. Union President Douglas Griffith underscored the department’s stated commitment to diversity and accountability, adding that leadership expects a thorough investigation and appropriate disciplinary action to maintain public trust. “The Houston Police Department prides itself as being one of the most diverse police departments in the nation,” Griffith said. Yeah, OK, sure. but there myriad members of races and ethnicities that like nothing more than being racist to Black folks. So, perhaps try harder to find a diversity of humanity. Earlier, we put “relieved of duty” in quotes because that is the language that the department has used publicly. However, it does NOT mean that she has been fired or that she WILL be fired. Far as we’re concerned, they are just waiting for the controversy to die down before they bring her back. Additional details reported by FOX 26 Houston paint an even more troubling picture of the way Gonzelez behaved while on duty. According to that outlet, the viewer-submitted footage shows the officer repeatedly using a racial slur to describe Black individuals while recounting an arrest. Gonzalez claimed that she used the same language toward a suspect during the incident and expressed satisfaction afterward, saying she felt “at peace” for having said it. “Y’all don’t know how good it felt to say ni**er out loud. Oh my God, I felt like I was back in the Marine Corps,” she said. While Houston police have acknowledged the video and confirmed the investigation, they have not definitively verified that Gonzalez is the person in the recording. Officials also have not indicated whether the probe will extend to reviewing her past conduct or interactions on the job, nor have they outlined potential disciplinary consequences beyond her current removal from duty. We’ll be watching this case to see how the department handles things. The post Houston Cop Ashley Gonzalez ‘Relieved Of Duty’ After Viral Racist Rant Against Black People appeared first on Bossip.

After audaciously alleging that women over 35 are “damaged goods,” Trick Daddy has the internet raising eyebrows again after sharing another unconventional dating rule that makes people think he hasn’t got a “nann” lick of sense. In a new interview with The Art Of Dialogue, released April 19, the “Take It To Da House” rapper said he has capped his dating age at 40, arguing that women over 40 are often too “serious” and should lower their standards. Here’s why, according to the rapper. He didn’t mince words about his stance, saying: ”Your seriousness don’t involve me, don’t involve men. I’m tired of women bragging about their credit score and their LLC’s and all this sh*t,” he griped. “We’re getting older. Let’s start respecting and loving on each other. Stop making it all about you. All these rules. Lower your standard.” The 51-year-old, who last year said he wouldn’t date women over 35 because they were “damaged goods,” explained that he prefers “nice young tender” women because they “appreciate” him more. “I want me a little nice young tender something that’s going to appreciate me. That’s going to tell me I smell good. That’s going to tell me they like my shoes sometimes.” Expanding on his perspective, he claimed that some older women he’s encountered come across as self-centered with unpleasant personalities, likening them to being “an old ass witch.” When it comes to appearance and attention, he added that the “young and tender” women he favors meet his criteria and give him the affection he wants. He also claimed younger women are more genuine and transparent, saying they often call him “daddy and say thank you baby.” He continued: “I want to pop out and she looking like a snack. I’m tired of these b*** with all these rules and regulations. What they don’t do, what they ain’t going to do, and all that sh*t I don’t want to hear all that. Get your ass in that kitchen. You always want to go out to eat. Go cook a n**** something. The older you is, the more you should know. Know better and you do better.” The rap star added, “I ain’t going past 40 ever in my life.” Social media say Trick Daddy should “Shut Up” Netizens wasted no time sharing their thoughts after this clip from the interview went viral. Reactions online were mixed, with some users arguing that the rapper made a few “points,” while several women and some men seemed relieved he was staying out of the 40+ dating pool. “No actual beautiful wholesome woman genuinely wants Trick Daddy’s ugly hideous a**,” one X user wrote. Another added, “The older I get the more attractive I find older women and women of my age more attractive. This California Raisins looking a** is just that creepy uncle to keep your daughter away from.” That wasn’t the only eyebrow-raising comment shared during The Art Of Dialogue interview with Trick Daddy. Later in the episode, he explained why he avoids dating women with a shoe size larger than 9, claiming they may have “big” hands and could be violent. Shockingly, larger sizes also don’t meet the criteria for his toe-sucking fetish. “I’m not fighting no b**** with no big a** hands. No big a*** feet. I don’t want to fight you. You violent. You wear a size 12,13, you need to be in the WNBA or some muthaf***king where. Not with me,” he said. “I like a nine. I put a b*** toes in my mouth in a minute. I’m not fittin’ to be sucking big a** toes this long…I’m the president and founder of the eat a booty gang. I know what I like.” Yikes. Trick Daddy said he wouldn’t date women over 35 during a 2025 interview on The Nene Leakes Show. Last year, during an interview with Nene Leakes, Trick Daddy said he wouldn’t date women over 35—a comment that resurfaced when the reality TV star asked about the status of his relationship with his ex-wife, Joy Young. The rapper and Young, who married in 2003, went through a contentious divorce that was finalized around 2022. “With the exception of you and maybe two or three other women, right, I’m not attracted to no women over 35 years old,” he said to an unbothered Leakes. “Y’all standards are too high, y’all are too emotional, y’all are damaged goods from y’all past relationships.” Watch the rapper’s full interview on The Art Of Dialogue above.
