Anthony Anderson Responds to Allegation of Assault

Anthony Anderson is under criminal investigation. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that it received a report against the Black-ish star, with The Blast writing that Anderson is accused of assaulting a woman last year after an event she catered for him. Inside tell the aforementioned website that the unnamed victum met with Anderson a second time after the event to discuss future opportunities. This is supposedly when the assault took place, although no other details are really known about it at this time Sources tell The Blast that the woman reported the incident months after it allegedly happened, as she was inspired by the #MeToo movement to finally speak out. “We have a crime report listing him as a suspect in a crime. It is an open investigation,” the LAPD has simply said in response to this story. A spokesperson for the star, meanwhile, has issued a statement on Anderson’s behalf. It reads as follows: “It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report, whether it is true or false. “The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim. Back in 2004, Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon were accused of raping an extra on the set of the 2004 film “Hustle & Flow.” However, the charges were later dropped when the judge ruled that there was no probable cause to try the case. This has no practical bearing on the latest charges, we’re just reporting a few facts. Anderson was just nominated his fourth Emmy Award for his portrayal of Andre Johnson, the patriarch on the ABC sitcom Black-ish. He is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this year, as well. On the small screen, Anderson’s resume includes appearance and/or starring roles on Guys with Kids, Treme, Psych, Shameless and The Shield. On the big screen, he has had roles in The Departed (2006), Kangaroo Jack (2003) and Transformers (2007) and Scream 4 (2011). Anderson is married with two kids. We’ll have more on this story if/when news breaks.

Ed Westwick: Under Police Investigation for Rape

The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation into Ed Westwick. Specifically, the Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation into Ed Westwick in relation to accusations against the actor of rape. These troubling charges were leveled against the ex-Gossip Girl star by actress Kristina Cohen , who shared a lengthy Facebook post on Monday. In her social media message, Cohen said she met Westwick at the actor’s house during a dinner party she attended with her boyfriend three years ago. The boyfriend was a producer and was friends with Westwick. Cohen alleges she was woken up from a nap in a guest bedroom by Westwick, writing in upsetting detail: [He] on top of me, his fingers entering my body. I told him to stop, but he was strong. I fought him off as hard as I could but he grabbed my face in his hands, shaking me, telling me he wanted to fuck me. I was paralyzed, terrified. I couldn’t speak, I could no longer move. He held me down and raped me. Cohen went on to say her boyfriend pressured her to keep quiet about the incident, but she has finally come forward with the accusation now because she’s been inspired by all the women who have done the same against Harvey Weinstein . (The veteran movie producer has been accused over the past few weeks of assault and sexual misconduct by over 50 actresses.) Concluded Cohen on Facebook: I hope my coming forward will help others to know that they are not alone, that they are not to blame, and it is not their fault. Just as the other women and men coming forward have helped me to realize the same. I hope that my stories and the stories of others help to reset and realign the toxic environments and power imbalances that have created these monsters. In response to this rape claim, Westwick issued the following statement: “I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on a woman. I certainly have never committed rape.” Cohen, meanwhile, did more than just write on Facebook; she filed a police report on Tuesday. The LAPD would not confirm Cohen’s identity, but public information officer Tony Im told People Magazine that Westwick was named as a suspect in the report. “Suspect forced victim to have sexual intercourse inside his residence … three years ago,” the report reads, according to Deadline, which broke the news of this investigation. Westwick is best known for his lead role on The CW’s Gossip Girl. Cohen appeared on the series Ladies Like Us from 2013 through 2015. We’ll update this story with more details if or when more news breaks. View Slideshow: #MeToo: Stars Share Stories of Sexual Harassment, Assault

LAPD Order Tasers That Activate Officer Body Cams As Soon As They Are Fired

Wow…accountable police? LAPD Orders Body Cam-Activating Tasers In Effort To Document Incidents In an effort to increase transparency in the current climate of police mistrust , the LAPD is implementing a new documentation method — recording police activity via body cams the moment they turn the safety off on their tasers. Via RawStory : Los Angeles police on Tuesday ordered Tasers that, when used, automatically activate cameras on officers’ uniforms, which will create visual records of incidents at a time of mounting concern about excessive force by U.S. law enforcement officers. The 3,000 new digital Taser X26P weapons record the date, time and duration of firing, and whether Taser wires actually strike suspects and how long the thousands of volts of electricity pulse through them. “This technology gives a much better picture of what happens in the field,” said Steve Tuttle, spokesman for the Scottsdale, Arizona-based Taser International Inc. At a time of nationwide protests over officer killings of unarmed black men, supporters of the new technology say cameras can help resolve officer misconduct cases when there is conflicting evidence. The weapons ordered by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will be linked via Bluetooth Technology to Taser International’s body cameras, turning on the camera the second the Taser’s safety switch is thrown. In December, L.A. officials announced a plan to equip 7,000 street cops with Taser’s body cameras. With nearly 10,000 officers, the LAPD is the third-largest municipal U.S. police department, after New York City and Chicago. Definitely a step in the right direction! But what does this do about them firing off their GUNS?
