On Monday morning, Jamie Lee Curtis sat down with Hoda Kotb on Today and discussed her new movie Halloween Ends as well as the controversy surrounding a now deleted Instagram post fueled tweet by rapper and fashion designer Ye.

On Saturday, Ye tweeted with a link to an article about his Instagram post:

"I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3"
"On JEWISH PEOPLE."
"The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also"
"You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."

What caused Ye's latest bigoted outburst?

Earlier in the day Ye earned an Instagram suspension for posting an antisemitic conspiracy theory in a dispute with Sean "Diddy" Combs. Ye was facing backlash for anti-Blackness and misogynoir behavior related to his YZY show during Paris Fashion Week.

The now deleted tweet that earned Ye a Twitter suspension can be seen here:

In response, Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted:

"The holiest day in Judaism was last week. Words matter. A threat to Jewish people ended once in a genocide."
"Your words hurt and incite violence. You are a father."
"Please stop."

When Kotb inquired about Ye's antisemitic post, a tearful Curtis replied:

"I burst into tears. I woke up and burst into tears."
"Death con 3 on Jewish people? What are you doing?"

Curtis' father actor Tony Curtis' parents were Hungarian Jews who emigrated to New York City before his birth.

Curtis continued:

"It's bad enough that fascism is on the rise around the world. But on Twitter, on a portal, to pour that in?"
"As if Jewish people haven't had it hard enough?"
"It was just abhorrent."

Curtis also emotionally stated:

"I hope he gets help."

Many tweeted in support of Curtis' words and commended her for boldly expressing her anguish.






Others agreed with Curtis that Ye's erratic words and actions will likely continue if he doesn't get the help he needs.

However mental illness can cause erratic behavior and lower inhibitions, but does not create bigotry.

Curtis pleaded:

"If we aren't reacting, who are we?"
"What does it say for people who aren't reacting?"

While Ye's Twitter and Instagram account are both still active, he is unable to post. He continues, however, to share content on TikTok and YouTube.

Curtis' movie Halloween Ends will be released on Friday.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
