While many of us are kicking back, feet up and chomping down on roast turkey with all the trimmings, Bunnie Xo is on a different type of mission this Thanksgiving.

Bunnie is knuckling down to help women escaping domestic violence.

The podcaster and her team are providing Thanksgiving dinner and care packages for women in transitional housing at the Mary Parrish Center, in search of a fresh start, a safer life. 

“Thanksgiving is about giving back. And that’s exactly what we’re doing today,” Bunnie tells Extra.

Bunnie tells Extra she knows from experience how tough it can be out there. “Going through a situation personally around 2013 to 2016 with my own domestic violence relationship has just made this mission for myself,” she remarks, “even more of wanting to give back and wanting to be there for the women and the children that are going through this because I know how hard it is to get out.”

Now happily married now to country star Jelly Roll, Bunnie hasn’t forgotten those harrowing days, which she recounts in her new book “Stripped Down.”

As Thanksgiving approaches, Bunnie shared a stark image of spousal abuse — a photo of her with a swollen black eye. The intention of posting the shocking photo, she says, is “that women could see like, ‘Okay, she’s been where I’m at and she gets it.’ I want somebody that I can relate to, and I hope that these women know that I have been exactly where they are and I just want to lift them up and just make them feel so good and loved and know that they’re doing the right thing.”

She adds, “I just want them to keep going. Don’t ever look back. Smash the rearview mirror.”

Just a week ago, Bunnie put up her hand and admitted some past errors of her own. Speaking on her Dumb Blonde podcast, the host confessed that she has to turn herself in to serve time for unknowingly driving for years with a suspended license, those issues apparently tying back to a minor driving incident from half a decade ago.

“I got my lawyer on it, whatever,” she explained. “It looks like your girl is gonna have to go book herself in. If I do — you guys have seen all my past mug shots — I’m going in glammed the f–k up, baby, and I’m going to vlog it.”

Ohio State is favored to win according to ESPN, banking on the team’s elite wide receiver talent with a top-ranked safety room and a strong overall quick-thinking offensive line. Michigan has a strong defensive line with a stand-out being Derrick Moore, the team’s defensive end. It’s likely they’ll keep up their iron-clad defense going into Saturday’s matchup.

The estate of Johnny Cash has brought a lawsuit accusing Coca-Cola of illegally hiring a tribute singer to mimic the country legend’s voice in a college football advertisement.

The federal court complaint, filed on Tuesday (Nov. 25) in Nashville, is the first high-profile case to be brought under Tennessee’s recently enacted ELVIS Act. Effective last summer, the novel statute expanded the state’s right of publicity to explicitly protect a person’s voice from nonconsensual exploitation.  

The John R. Cash Revocable Trust, which manages the estate of the singer who died in 2003, takes issue with a new song in a Coca-Cola commercial that’s been airing during college football games since August. The lawsuit claims the voice behind the jingle sounds “remarkably” similar to Cash’s signature bass-baritone — and that, in fact, it’s the voice of a professional Cash tribute performer named Shawn Barker.

“Stealing the voice of an artist is theft. It is theft of his integrity, identity and humanity,” wrote a lawyer for the Cash estate, Tim Warnock of Loeb & Loeb. “The trust brings this lawsuit to protect the voice of Johnny Cash — and to send a message that protects the voice of all of the artists whose music enriches our lives.”

According to the lawsuit, the Cash estate regularly licenses out the legendary performer’s intellectual property. For example, his songs “Ragged Old Flag” and “Personal Jesus” have both been featured in Super Bowl telecasts. But the estate says Coca-Cola “never even bothered to ask the trust for a license” before using a voice soundalike in its commercial.

“This case arises from Coca-Cola’s pirating Johnny Cash’s voice in a nationwide advertising campaign to enrich itself — without asking for permission or providing any compensation to the humble man and artist who created the goodwill from which Coca-Cola now profits,” reads the complaint.

The estate is asking for a court injunction that would take the ad off screens, plus financial damages for Coca-Cola’s alleged violation of Cash’s rights of publicity under the ELVIS Act. Damages are also sought for supposed violations of a Tennessee consumer protection statute and a federal law against false endorsements.

Coca-Cola did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (Nov. 26). A rep for Barker, who is not a defendant in the lawsuit, told Billboard the tribute singer’s team was “thrilled when we were approached to have Shawn sing vocals for this commercial.”

“Shawn Barker has been performing with his Cash tribute ‘The Man in Black: A Tribute to Johnny Cash’ for over two decades, touring the world sharing his love of Johnny Cash’s music and stories with fans both old and new,” added Barker’s manager, Joey Waterman.

This is the first major lawsuit to take advantage of Tennessee’s new voice protections under the ELVIS Act, short for the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act of 2024. It’s worth noting, though, that there is no allegation of artificial intelligence-powered voice mimicking in the Coca-Cola commercial, which Tennessee lawmakers were vocal about curbing when they expanded the state’s right of publicity law last year.

Rather, the Cash estate’s lawsuit follows in the footsteps of historic litigation brought by artists over sound-alike singers mimicking their voices. Bette Midler famously sued Ford over a series of commercials featuring impersonator vocals in the 1980s, winning a precedent-setting victory that established voices as protectable rights of publicity in California.

Midler’s case limited these enforcement rights to the commercial advertising context — that is, advertisements that use a celebrity’s likeness to make it appear they’re endorsing a product. This same limitation applies to most laws in the patchwork of state-level publicity rights throughout the United States. However, the newly minted ELVIS Act is different: It expands liability so that one can sue any individual for trampling their publicity rights in Tennessee.

The Cash estate’s Coca-Cola lawsuit stays in the traditional commercial lane. But now that the ELVIS Act is in effect, it’s possible we’ll see more novel right of publicity lawsuits brought over soundalikes in recorded songs.

Rick Astley waded into this area in 2023, before the ELVIS Act was passed, by suing Yung Gravy for mimicking his voice in the rapper’s breakout hit “Betty (Get Money).” That case, which sparked debate about the commercial limits of publicity rights, settled before a judge could rule on its merits.

Cam’ron and Mase are always roasting someone on It Is What It Is, and on the latest episode of their talk show, the pair of Harlem rappers playfully clowned each other’s wardrobe choices of the past.

Murda brought up Cam’s Epic Records debut album cover, Confessions of Fire, which finds a shirtless Cam in leather overalls holding a sledgehammer in front of a blaze. “Whose Idea was that?” Mase asked.

Cam’ron placed the blame on record executive Lance “Un” Rivera. “That was Un’s idea,” he said. “They tried to gas me, say it’s 5001 Flavors, just the look and all that.”

Cam fired back by bringing up a photoshoot from the early days of Mase’s career that saw Murda sitting with his legs out atop a pole of sorts in a pair of Air Jordan 4s. “But I wasn’t sitting on nobody pole either,” Cam quipped.

Mase returned fire: “You were naked in leather. That might be worse, I don’t know.” Cam then instructed the show’s producers to put up a side-by-side graphic of the questionable images to let the fans decide which is worse.

“Put them side by side. Let the audience take a vote,” Cam’ron added. “The leather or sitting on the pole. I don’t know, Murda, you look comfortable.”

Cam’ron released his Confessions of Fire debut album in July 1998. On the project, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200, Cam teamed up with Mase for “Horse & Carriage” and called for assists from Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Kelly Price and Noreaga.
