Kim Coles is speaking truth to power, and we’re listening. The beloved Living Single star has had enough of the gossip mill and is using her platform to expose the dirty tactics that tabloids use to keep the drama churning.
On a recent episode of her hit podcast, ReLiving Single (co-hosted with the iconic Erika Alexander), Coles peeled back the curtain on how entertainment news really works. We’ve all seen those articles claiming an “anonymous insider” or a “source close to the situation” has the dirt on a celebrity beef or a casting shake-up. According to Coles, those sources are often as fictional as the characters she plays.
Coles broke down the “shady shenanigans” that outlets use to protect themselves from lawsuits while publishing outright lies. By attributing false claims to a nameless “source,” tabloids can push narratives that damage reputations without ever having to provide receipts. For Black women in Hollywood, who already face hyper-scrutiny, these fabricated stories can be particularly harmful.
