Brenda Alexander has the latest in trending topics

Kim Kardashian's Skims is offering customers refunds for its pricey advent calendar after being widely criticized on social media. And the action that disappointed fans are taking after they say they were shortchanged by Usher and Chris Brown's first show of their R&B tour here in Atlanta. Entertainment contributor Brenda Alexander joining us with some of these headlines. Good morning. Great to see you. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Okay, let's start with this Skims controversy, and it's being roasted, right, online. Listen, as a person who loves Christmas and a good advent calendar, I will be disappointed as well, okay? So TMZ is reporting that Kim Kardashian's latest Skims collection for the holidays is upsetting its customers and they are asking for reimbursements. So thousands flocked to the website to purchase a $148 advent calendar and many are underwhelmed by the product. The calendar features different Skims products like bobby pins and hair ties. Others were expecting something a little bit bigger, bolder, obviously not something as as small as a bobby pin. One social media user called it the worst advent calendar ever. The company has issued a statement saying that they will refund those who desire one and that they will apply feedback further for future releases. So hopefully all is well once they receive their $148 reimbursement back. I mean, 12 days of fun surprises, and you open it, it's a hair tie? A hair tie and a bobby pin, yeah. I would be upset, too. My goodness. All right. Well, at least they're course-correcting, right? So let's talk about a big show here in Atlanta. We'll Refund now being asked as far as a full makeup concert at no additional costs as a result of the ticket holders, be that first night of the R&B show here in Atlanta. What do you think about this, right this request for apology and just accountability? stability from performers. think that it's necessary um as a person who has attended a concert not this specific concert with Usher and Chris Brown but as a person back. who has paid you know their hard earned money and I was underwhelmed by their performance and there was no type of explanation I agree with the person who started this change.org petition so as you mentioned um a concert goer by the name of Rhonda McKenzie has started a change.org petition with fans demanding a refund or makeup concert Following their November 5th show in Atlanta, the petition... notes that the show started nearly three hours late with no opening acts there was a reported shortened version of the show with no joint performances by the headliners Usher Chris Brown and as you mentioned again no apology or explanation from the artist the show also has had a series of cancellations throughout its run seemingly due to Chris Brown's Excuse me, ongoing legal issues, and as for what caused the delays, there was reported tension between Chris Brown and Usher, though nothing has been confirmed by either camp. Sources say that there was a verbal dispute over the show's start time, and as of this morning, the last time I checked, there were over 12,000 signatures so far on the petition. Wow, 12,000 signatures on this petition. Oh my goodness. Keeping us up to date, Brenda, so great to see you.
