Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans were toxic 'Lethal Weapon' co-stars



Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford were a toxic combination behind-the-scenes playing buddy cops for two seasons on TV's Lethal Weapon.
And in case you needed audio proof, it's here. 
Variety has a thorough, stunning expose of the two actors' explosive relationship that features audio of the stars arguing bitterly on set, representative of the bigger problems between the two. Their tense relationship, the industry magazine found, almost derailed the popular Fox drama.
Crawford, who was fired last month from the Martin Riggs role (the loose-cannon cop played by Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon film franchise) is featured in audio that allegedly has him blowing up over sound problems on set.
Wayans, who continues to plays Roger Murtaugh (the Danny Glover role) continues to work on the show, which was renewed for a third season with Seann William Scott hired to replace Crawford.
This first virulent exchange was captured on the two actors' microphones between scenes, apparently prompted by a stunt accident Wayans experienced during a season two episode that Crawford directed.
During a special-effects explosion, a piece of shrapnel struck Wayans in the back of the head, causing a small wound. Wayans later held Crawford responsible for an unsafe work environment.
"You're the biggest crybaby (expletive) I've ever met in my life," Crawford says on the tape, taunting Wayans as only "in the game" because of his famous family. Wayans fires back with profanity.
In the second segment where audio was captured, Crawford grows increasingly frustrated shooting an intense scene at a public pool. The actor can be heard off-camera cursing at the crew to quiet down the pool patrons, reportedly children. An assistant director allegedly quit on the spot.
Variety spoke to 31 sources for the piece, and multiple sources confirmed the authenticity of the video/audio.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems. Turmeric has been found to help fight off inflammation with almost the same efficacy as anti-inflammatory medication, just without the side effects. 2.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
