Exclusive: OWN?s ?Love Is___? Has Been CANCELLED

Breaking news, love muffins.

Sources exclusively tell lovebscott.com that OWN has decided to cancel the second season of ?Love Is__.?

Its unclear the exact cause, but sources say that it?s partly due to the lawsuit/scandal involving show creator Salim Akil.

Story developing?

Actress Amber Dixon Brenner filed a lawsuit last week in accusing writer/producer Salim Akil of domestic violence and breach of contract.

According to the lawsuit, Amber claims the she had a years-long ?physically and sexually abusive relationship? with Salim, who has produced and directed episodes of BET?s The Game and Being Mary Jane, and created OWN?s ?Love Is___? with wife Mara Brock Akil .

via Jezebel:

Brenner?s complaint alleges she and Akil began ?a dating relationship, which involved frequent sexual contact,? about 10 years ago. Akil, according to IMDb, has been married to writer/producer Mara Brock Akil since 1999. Brenner?s accusations of abuse are numerous and harrowing. They include multiple instances of physical violence in the form of slapping, strangling, and forced oral sex. Brenner alleges, for example, that during a birthday party in Los Angeles?s Roosevelt Hotel, Akil asked her to follow him into the bathroom, where he slapped her, causing her to stumble backwards, and then commanded her to perform oral sex. Brenner?s complaint alleges that he then urinated in her mouth.

In another instance, Brenner alleges that she asked Akil to stop having sex with her during a painful encounter. ?He refused to stop, saying: ?uhnt uhnt [no, no]. Take it.?? In yet another, the complaint claims that on a patio outside his house on Martha?s Vineyard, ?he proceeded to stick three fingers up her anus and started lecturing her.? Brenner?s complaint includes multiple instances of him slapping her during sex.

Her complaint alleges that he photographed a sexual encounter without her consent, and that he also photographed her after commanding her to lick a wall in an underground parking lot.

Brenner?s complaint also describes verbal abuse: He allegedly indicated he would dispose of her in a desert if she got pregnant, and said if they were married and she cheated on him, ?he would stick her hand in a hot skillet of grease.?

Excuse my French, but I KNEW the n*gg@ wasn?t sh*t!  Just watching the show, I thought if they?re love story was anything like this in real life, he wasn?t sh*t.  This is even worse with the abuse of another women, allegedly, while he?s married.

But even his character on the show had a gf when they met, but said they weren?t happy. She wasn?t happy because she was tired of paying for him to sit in her home and not work. So he starts dating the other girl while still living at the first girl?s home, rent free. Then when he moved in with the 2nd girl, who is supposed to represent his wife in real life, he gets jealous of her success, and he showed out at her work on the biggest night of her career. Then her boss had words with her about it.


Like just what they showed us didn?t even look too good. I had to stop watching.

I?m sorry if you?re not married to/living with/dependant on this man you have to be somewhat complicit to allow him to do this to you.

Sounds like extreme Dom/sub role play to me.
