The recent turmoil surrounding former University of Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore, after he was terminated from his position and then arrested for accusations of assault later in the day, has brought more attention than he probably would have expected. But aside from hearing about his alleged affair and knowing he was the football coach, what DO we know about the former coach?
This Is NOT His First Scandal At The University Of Michigan
Before the school won an NCAA Championship in 2024, it was embroiled in a sign-stealing scandal involving a staff member, Connor Stalions, who was accused of disguising himself during games to intercept opposing teams’ signals. At the time, Moore was the offensive coordinator under head coach Jim Harbaugh, who was suspended for multiple games. Meanwhile, Moore had to sit out two games this season and was slated for another one-game suspension next season.
Moore Was The Very First Black Football Coach At Michigan
Michigan has a storied history in sports, but it has never had a Black man lead the football team on the field. When Moore, who was on the coaching staff (offensive) for six years, became the 21st head coach at the university, he made history by becoming the first Black head coach when he was hired to lead the program on Jan. 26, 2024.
There Were Reports o f Moore Having Mental Health Issues Prior To His Termination
According to CBS, University of Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel was told that the former coach had mental issues. A source told the media outlet that allegedly prominent donors informed the athletic director that Moore had mental health issues. According to reports, when Moore was recently arrested, he was placed in protective custody “surrounded by mental health professionals.”
While In College, Moore Was Instrumental In The University of Oklahoma Winning Two Big 12 Championships
Before he became a successful coach, he was an offensive player at Oklahoma (2006-07), playing on the offensive line. He played as an offensive guard in 14 games, as the team played in two Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games after the Sooners won two division championships in the Big 12. He was also a starter for Butler County (Kansas) Community College for two years as the team won two conference championships and had a 20-3 record. Moore earned second-team all-conference accolades.
His Offensive Line at Michigan won Two Joe Moore Awards, Becoming First School To Accomplish That Feat
When Moore was the offensive line coach before becoming the offensive coordinator at Michigan, the offensive line won the Joe Moore Award for the nation’s top blocking unit in back-to-back seasons (2021 and 2022), the first time any team had won it in consecutive years.
After two federal judges issued President Donald Trump an ultimatum regarding SNAP benefits, the Trump administration has finally put forth a plan to keep millions of Americans from starving… at least for now.
We previously told you millions went without SNAP benefits starting Nov. 1 after Congress failed to come to an agreement over funding. The pause to food assistance marked the first time in history SNAP had ever been cut off. Expectedly, Democrats, Republicans, human rights activists and federal judges pushed back against the president, who ultimately had the power to overturn this unprecedented issue.
Several states took legal action against the administration. In Massachusetts, Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the government is required to tap into emergency money for SNAP, even if it’s just making partial payments. She gave Trump until Monday (Nov. 3) to come up with a plan to make it happen.
In response to the judge’s ruling, Trump took to his social media app, Truth Social, saying he “instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.” He went on to blame Democrats for the shutdown: “If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay,” he wrote
The administration told a federal court in accordance with the Monday deadline that it will partially pay out SNAP benefits to the nearly 42 million Americans on the program. He only promised to fund assistance only during the month of November, according to the court filing. SNAP recipients are now set to receive 50 percent of what they normally would under the president’s new court order.
Under past government shutdowns, emergency money has always been used to provide food assistance for Americans. The Trump administration previously argued that money in the $5 billion contingency fund could not be used for SNAP. But after another judge in Rhode Island pushed back against Trump’s claims about funding, the administration drastically changed its tune.
In a separate lawsuit, Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. ruled in favor of Democracy Forward, the organization which requested a temporary restraining order in light of the pause to benefits, CBS News reported. On Saturday (Nov. 1), McConnell gave Trump the same Monday deadline to figure out a way to use contingency funds for SNAP. Both McConnell and Talwani ruled it’s up to the Trump administration to decide exactly how much money will be distributed.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, sent out a memo last week declaring “the well has run dry.” For over a month, Congress has been at a stand still regarding federal funding. Democrats want Republicans to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies for Americans; Republicans want the government to open up before any negotiations can be made.
“Right now, the problem is everybody wants to win,” W.V. Sen. Jim Justice said of the current debacle. “And you’ve got a lot of people really hurting, and that really upsets me,” the Republican continued.
While most people were outside still celebrating Halloween on Saturday (Nov.1), a handful of Black stars and celebrities gathered in Los Angeles to celebrate at the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala, honoring movie director Ryan Coogler.
The 14th annual event, put on by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, highlights creatives whose work has reshaped their respective fields. Given the massive success of Coogler’s movie “Sinners,” it was only fitting that Coogler be one of this year’s honorees alongside painter and artist Mary Corse.
During his acceptance speech, Coogler beautifully reflected on his journey in filmmaking, finding community in Los Angeles, and making beautiful art while “existing in that zone of art, utility and commerce” as a Black person in America.
But seeing as how this event is one of L.A.’s most prestigious galas and was presented in partnership with Gucci, you already know some of our favorite Black stars showed up and showed out on the red carpet! From a very dapper Damson Idris to a truly stunning Queen Latifah, keep reading to see how these fashionably famous faces and more popped out!

Let’s be real: with the tariff wars, everything starting to get more expensive — and that includes haircare, too. However, there are still styles and hacks that will save you some coins and make sure your hair is on point. That’s why we’ve created a list of ideas for you to try in case you need a new style that is also budget-friendly. And fellas, we’ve got you covered too.
Maybe you’re trying to get the most out of your locs before booking an appointment with your loctician, and if that’s the case, we’ve got you. Here are some cute styles that will make your locs last a little longer between retwists.
However, retwists might not be your only concern. It’s getting colder, which means your haircare routine will have to change to make sure your hair stays healthy and hydrated.
Got some braiding hair leftover? Don’t let it go to waste! Instead, you can use the spare bundles to achieve stunning looks with your natural hair, like this braided bun.
We never talk about it but a lot of us black men never learned how to properly groom ourselves. If you suffer from ingrowns, get some clippers and make them as close as possible #creatorsearchinsights#rightwaytoshave#blackmenshavingtips
Guys, beard care is just as important as hair care, and these are some shaving tips to make sure you keep your skin smooth while also keeping your beard clean.
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance style for your natural hair this winter, then mini twists are the way to go. They’re pretty, long-lasting, and will keep your hair moisturized.
If you don’t already, it could be a good time to learn how to braid. Now, you don’t have to do elaborate styles, but a simple style can last you a long time and save you from having to book an appointment each month.
Ladies, before you throw away a perfectly good lacefront, why not recycle it? Turn that wig into a leave-out and get at least another month of use from it.
Again, it is important to make sure your hair is well moisturized, and one easy way to do that is by making sure you retwist your hair using just oil and water.
Pixie cuts are fabulous, and it’s common for them to be slicked down after hours of moulding and texturizing. And while that does look good, finger coiling your pixie is just as elegant and something you can do from home in half the time.
It is silk press season, but sometimes silk presses don’t last as long as you would want them to. However, they can easily be brought back to life with some dry shampoo and a quick run over with some straighteners.
It’s not always worth going to the barber for something you can do from the comfort of your home. These are some tips to follow so that you can start doing your own shape ups.
Listen…braids take a long time to take out and even longer to get them done. You might not have that time. So here is a style to try on your knotless to get extra wear out of them.
No one does homecoming like our historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and now is the time we’ve all been waiting for!

A time was had at South Carolina State University over the weekend!! I didn’t attend an HBCU during my college years (I went to a PWI), so this was my first time going to SCSU Homecoming. My fiancé and his friends were all apart of the band so of course we had to sit right next to the band so they could sing their songs during the football game. I was literally amazed by everything happening around me! 🤣🤣 #southcarolinastateuniversity#homecoming#scsubulldogs❤️💙
@shantons7 joined her fiancé at SCSU’s homecoming football game. The couple sat close to the band during game day “so they could sing their songs during the football game,” she wrote on TikTok. “I was literally amazed by everything happening around me!”
If you woke up this morning hoping that the government shutdown was just a bad dream, think again. As of Wednesday (Oct. 1), the government has officially closed its doors, which means that the money flow has stopped for certain federal agencies.
As President Donald Trump and the Democrats duke it out over healthcare funding — among other things — Black Americans who stand to endure the worst effects of the shutdown are sounding off on social media about how it all will impact their pockets.
“Omg, the government is shut down! Time to dial it in on our finances. SMH,” one person wrote on X
Omg the government is shutdown! Time to dial it in on our finances. SMH 🤦🏾♀️
The shutdown threatens layoffs, service cuts and a major blow to Medicaid and Medicare, all thanks to staffing shortages. Food assistance programs like the Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children are looking at empty coffers real soon, according to The New York T and BBC. For Black folks, it’s the same old song and dance.
“President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising,” Harris told her followers. “This is their shutdown.”
President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.
Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.
This shutdown is the second government shutdown to happen under Donald Trump, with the first being in December of 2018, which one X user pointed out was the longest shutdown in U.S. history:
“Fun fact: The longest shutdown in U.S. history lasted 35 days, from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019, during President Donald Trump’s administration.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s town hall in Dallas was going smoothly while she was speaking with constituents about issues in her district and policy. But after a right-wing commentator crashed the event, chaos immediately ensued, and it was all caught on camera. But that’s just the beginning.
Sara Gonzales, a host for Blaze TV, an American conservative media company founded in 2018 with strong conservative views, crashed the Aug. 14 event as Crockett was speaking about her grandmother. Gonzales can be seen in a video she uploaded on X interrupting Crockett, shouting out, “Jasmine! The people of Dallas deserve better than a fake ghetto hood rat.” The Democratic lawmaker looked over at her and smirked before the crowd erupted in boos.
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,” Crockett could be heard saying. “Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.” Gonzales doubled down on her insults, asking, “Do they know you’re a rich kid from Missouri?”
She asked a second time, “Do your people know you’re a spoiled rich kid from Missouri?,” referencing how Crockett is from St. Louis and moved to Texas for law school.
One woman screamed at Gonzales, “Get your ass out of here!” while one man told her to, “Get out! Get out!” as she was escorted out by security. And she didn’t leave silently. “Don’t touch me! Get her off me!” Gonzales responded. “Get off me! Get the f*ck off me!”
She even asked officers, “Are you proud?” as she was forced to leave the town hall. Gonzales was told by police to leave the property, and threatened to place her in handcuffs if she did not comply with their orders to leave. But wait, there’s more.
A white woman who goes by “blonde conservative” online also confronted Crockett at the same event. She posted video of her own interaction of when she asked Crockett, “Why do you hate white people? Why are you racist towards white people? Why are you racist towards white people?”
She willing left after someone off-camera told her she needed to skedaddle, too.
Crockett, who was speaking at the Dallas County Blue Texas Organizing Rally to urge her supporters to turn Texas blue to defeat the GOP in the 2026 midterm elections, according to Dallas Weekly, responded to the haters.
“Listen, this is part of the problem,” Crockett said in the video. “This is part of the problem. I want y’all to be part of the solution. We’re going to show these people that ignorance will not win today.”
The news of Malcolm-Jamal Warner‘s death is still sending shockwaves in and outside of Hollywood. While fans have taken over timelines to express their sadness and shock, folks in the industry are also taking the time out to share fond memories, kind words, and well wishes.
As we previously told you, “The Cosby Show” actor passed away on Monday at age 54. The actor was on a family trip to Costa Rica and died in an accidental drowning while swimming, according to People Magazine. As the news of his death began to circulate, more than a handful of famous faces began speaking out.
Singer Maxwell took the time out to share kind words on Warner’s passing, writing in a post to X/Twitter: “i remember meeting u and not believing that ‘theo’ himself was aware of me. the black representation of our greatest variation. this is devastating my prayers and well wishes to your loved ones. rest in peace malcolm.”
“Snowfall” actor Amin Joseph wrote on X/Twitter: “Learned the power of quiet grind from you— A true pro, Charisma and talent beyond this world. A pure, good spirit. Still chasing your light. Rest easy, Malcolm-Jamal Warner.”
Cookie and I are sad to hear about the passing of our dear friend Malcolm-Jamal Warner. We were both super fans of the hit Cosby Show and continued to follow his career on shows like Malcolm and Eddie and The Resident. Every time I ran into Malcolm, we would have deep and fun…
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) July 21, 2025
Earvin “Magic” Johnson also hopped online to reflect on his time with Warner, saying in a post to X/Twitter: “Cookie and I are sad to hear about the passing of our dear friend Malcolm-Jamal Warner. We were both super fans of the hit Cosby Show and continued to follow his career on shows like Malcolm and Eddie and The Resident.”
Johnson continued: “Every time I ran into Malcolm, we would have deep and fun conversations about basketball, life, and business. He will truly be missed. Cookie and I are praying his family and close friends during this difficult time.”
Posting a picture of Warner when he appeared on “The Real” years back, former cohost Loni Love wrote in a post: “Malcolm-Jamal was a talented actor and an even better person. He made you feel valued and loved. I wish we had more time with this wonderful soul. Rest in peace.”
Over on Instagram, Nia Long wrote: “Dear God please take care of his family. This is heartbreaking.”
Added Kelly Rowland: “My God.”
Fellow actress Issa Rae perhaps had the most accurate reaction out of everyone: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
In a separate post on Instagram, Tracee Ellis Ross shared sweet words about Warner, with whom she starred alongside of in the short-lived BET sitcom, “Reed Between the Lines.”
“I love you, Malcolm. First I met you as Theo with the rest of the world then you were my first TV husband. My heart is so so sad,” Ross said. “What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant. You made the world a brighter place. Sending so much love to your family. I’m so sorry for this unimaginable loss.”
Emmy-winning actor Niecy Nash-Betts also reflected on her friendship with Warner, penning in a post to Instagram: “We just spoke. You were giving my my flowers for my work in @grotesqueriefx and we talked about how happy we both were in our marriages. Damn friend 🥲 You were cornerstone of The Cosby Show. We all loved Theo! Never to be forgotten. You will be missed. Rest Easy.”
Comedian Eddie Griffin, who co-starred with Warner on their 1996 sitcom “Malcolm and Eddie” said in a post to his Instagram story on Monday: “My heart is heavy right now…Rest easy my brother for you have won in life and now you’ve won forever eternal bliss.”
Goldberg shared her harsh words for Obama on Tuesday’s episode of “The View.” Her words were prompted by comments he made at a private fundraiser in New Jersey over the weekend where he accused Democrats of “whining” about Trump and all of his bad decisions. He also said that they need to change their messaging, stop looking for a “Messiah,” do a little less “navel-gazing” and “toughen up.”
She also mentioned an interview with “Shark Tank” entrepreneur and billionaire Mark Cuban who echoed similar sentiments as the president and decided to call both men out and explain the error in their messaging.
“Let me remind everybody who was out on the front lines marching, when we had the giant marches that went on. It was the people. The people went out. They were not navel-gazing, it was older people who were saying, ‘Why are you touching my social security?’” Goldberg said in response to the comments. “It was not people whining, it was about people saying, ‘Why are you taking these rights away from my child when my child was born here?’”
She later added: “This has not been about Democrats laying back. This has been about y’all. This has been about y’all because their [Democrats] messaging has always been the same. Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time, they’ve been angry this time. With much due respect to you both, you are pointing the finger to the wrong person when you say Democrats.”
Goldberg later expressed that folks like Obama and Cuban need to change their vantage point and realize that Democratic voters and the people who support their ideologies have been doing much more than just complaining about Trump. She also noted that the only people who need to switch up what they’re saying are folks like Obama and Cuban, and not those who’ve been on the front lines speaking out and showing up for the cause.
Neither Obama nor Cuban have responded to Goldberg’s comments. Check out the conversation below.
The View's Whoopi Goldberg goes off on Barack Obama and Mark Cuban for daring to criticize Democrats.
