Maitland Ward Porn on X Is Great For Industry ... OnlyFans 2.0?!?

XXX ON X
TMZ.com

Maitland Ward's stoked X is formally allowing porn ... saying it provides legitimacy for the adult film industry, and, it has her wondering if XXX posts are about to dominate Elon Musk's playground.

We caught up with the sitcom actress turned porn star in L.A., and asked her about X's change in policy. While Ward admits people have put nudes on X for years, she feels the content's been shadowbanned -- a problem she hopes the new rules will solve.

MW applauds the clearly-defined rules Elon and co. have devised for the content too ... adding the porn industry is totally on board with only allowing 18+ individuals to watch.

Bill Maher We Should Be Ashamed of Our Prisons ... And We're All Paying the Price

PRISON PROBLEMS
HBO

Bill Maher made a strong case Friday night for the U.S. to come to Jesus -- even though he doesn't believe in Jesus -- because of the way we treat prisoners.

The 'Real Time' host castigated us for the whole, "lock-em-up-and-throw-away-the key" mentality. You make a rape joke you get canceled, except for prison rape jokes -- for that you get laughs. As he says, we view sodomy as the appropriate comeuppance for criminal behavior.

Fact is ... 95% of prisoners get out, and they come out worse than when they went in. That's because conditions in many/most prisons are deplorable. Inmates sleep on the floor and fight for toilets because of overcrowding.

India Oxenberg Miranda Derrick Deserves Sympathy ... I Was Brainwashed Too

Former NXIVM sex cult member India Oxenberg says folks need to cut TikTok star Miranda Derrick some slack ... 'cause she may well be in a cult and not even realize she's been brainwashed.

India, who broke free from NXIVM after 7 years under the cult's spell, tells TMZ ... she's known about Miranda's alleged cult, 7M Films, for years and thinks it's likely Miranda doesn't fully understand the influence the group is exerting over her life.

Miranda denies 7M is a cult, and says she's not some mindless zombie under founder Robert Shinn's control -- pushing back against a narrative seen in the new "Dancing for the Devil" Netflix doc -- but India says groups like 7M and NXIVM have perfected the art of controlling communication with those on the outside.

Howard University To Diddy We're Pulling Your Honorary Degree Over Cassie Video ... You're No Longer Worthy!!!

More fallout for Diddy in the wake of the release of the Cassie beating video ... he no longer has a major accolade from a famous HBCU that he was once a student at.

Howard University announced Friday its Board of Trustees is revoking Diddy's honorary degree -- this as a result of the recent release of a video showing Diddy's 2016 assault on his then-girlfriend inside an L.A. hotel.

Diddy got his honorary degree from Howard in 2014 -- but now, the university says they've found his behavior "so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor."
