Bow Wow Arrest Report: Kiyomi Leslie Bit, Hit And Spit On Rapper!!

Shad “Bow Wow” Moss and his GF had a ridiculous brawl after a night of partying, leaving them both behind bars.  Leslie Holden (also known as Kiyomi Leslie), Bow Wow’s longtime on-and-off again girlfriend, called Atlanta Police Department around 4 am Saturday to report Bow Wow for assault .  According to TMZ, she told officers that “the whole fight started when they got home from a party,” and claimed that Bow Wow was pissed when he saw her talking with another guy.  In the police report, Leslie says Bow Wow “hit her in the head, pulled her by the hair, dragged her from her bedroom and told her to get the hell out.”  Bow Wow did admit to being upset about the other guy and told the cops that she had “disrespected him” by being all over another “man’s body.” He also says that Leslie called him a “bitch ass n***a” when he brought up her behavior at the party. He reportedly told her to get out and put her bags by the door.  And that is when things began to spiral…  Leslie reacted to Bow Wow’s “kick out” by grabbing a floor lamp and throwing it at him.   He says she missed with the lamp, but in his mugshot, you can visibly see deep scratches all over the rapper’s face.  An officer shared that he did see a lamp on the ground when he entered the bedroom and he also noticed red marks on Leslie’s fingers, as well as broken fingernails.  Busted? They were BOTH arrested and charged with “battery” following the incident.  According to police records, the rapper was released on an $8,000 bond. We have no word on whether Leslie has been released yet.  Police reported that there were “minor visible injuries” to both, and were unable to tell who the primary aggressor was.  Bow Wow’s rep has since issued an in-depth statement describing Leslie as an “out of control intoxicated female” who “beat him with a lamp, bit him on his side, and spit on him while Bow Wow continually made efforts to avoid her.” In addition to the evidence of the scars on Bow Wow’s face and the marks on Leslie’s fingers, there were also two witnesses who backed up Bow Wow’s side of the story, as stated by  Starcasm .  Which the rep says, indicates “that Ms. Holden was simply out of control and was without a doubt the primary aggressor.”  Both of their mugshots have been released and the rapper was the only one with visible damage.  There is yet to be a statement made from Leslie or her rep. Their relationship was often documented on the WE TV’s reality show Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta .  At the time of the altercation, it was believed that the two were not officially together, but “seeing each other again on the down-low,” says Starcasm .  Can’t say they did a great job at keepin’ it on the DL.  Now Bow Wows got some flashy scars to go along with an embarrassing and violent police report.  View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence

Kristoff St. John: Cause of Death Under "Additional Investigation"

With the entertainment industry still in shock over the death of Kristoff St. John , we’re saddened to report that no official cause of death has been determined just yet. As previously reported, the veteran Young and the Restless star, who had been with the series since 1991, was found unconscious inside his California home on Sunday. A friend discovered his body and called the paramedics, but St. John was already gone when they arrived. At 52 years old, he was pronounced dead at the scene. In the hours since this awful news went public, the Los Angeles County Coroner has said the cause of death has been deferred for the time being until an “additional investigation” is complete. Yes, an autopsy has been performed. But E! News has bee told that the results are inconclusive; they do not shed much light on St. John’s final minutes or hours. According to TMZ, which broke this awful news, no foul play is suspsected. The police are allegedly considering alcohol overuse as a cause of St. John’s death, but we want to emphasize that this has not yet been proven or confirmed. At the time of his passing, the actor was engaged to Kseniya Mikhaleva (pictured below), who he proposed to in August of last year. She has expressed her shock and sorrow in multiple social media posts today. “How did it happen ??? How ??? Why did you leave so early ???? and left me alone ….. I can’t believe,” she wrote on Instagram on Monday. “You were everything to me …. you were a loving father, a loving man,…..how love??we should doing a lot of things in future……” St. John was also the father to a son named Julian, who killed himself in 2014 at the age of 24 while under the care of a mental health facility. The soap opera star and his then-wife sued the facility shortly afterward for neglience, eventually settling the matter out of court. However, sources have said that St. John never really recoverd from this unimaginable tragedy; in fact, his final Tweet (written on January 21) was to pass along a quote about the loss of one’s child. The star is survived by his two daughters, Paris and Lola. In a statement released by attorney Marg Geragos, the St. John family said: “Few men had the unique strength, courage & sensitivity that @kristoffstjohn1 lived every single minute of every day. He impacted everyone he met and millions who he inspired and in turn admired him. “On behalf of @MiaStJohnBoxer & @TheStJohnFamily thank you for all of your love.” In 2017, it was reported that St. John underwent psychiatric treatment an alleged mental health “scare.” Tweeted The Young and the Restless actress Alice Hunter this afternoon: “May he be met with the comforting arms of his beloved son and may their gentle souls rest together for eternity.” And this was the message shared today by the show itself, along with its production company: The news of Kristoff St. John’s passing is heartbreaking. He was a very talented actor and an even better person. For those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him on The Young and the Restless for the last 27 years, he was a beloved friend whose smile and infectious laugh made every day on set a joy and made audiences love him… We offer sympathy to his family and loved ones, especially his two daughters, Paris and Lola. St. John was nominated for nine Daytime Emmys during his amazing run. We’re still in shock that he’s gone. May he rest in peace.

Jesus Take The Wheel: 12 & 14-Year-Old Girls Allegedly Stab Mom To Death For Putting Them On Punishment

Source: South_agency / Getty The Oldest Is Being Charged As An Adult A Mississippi mom was found drenched in blood in her front yard on Friday, and authorities are linking the scene to her 12 and 14-year-old daughters. According WLBT , Erica Hall was pronounced dead at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center. Coroner Jones said Hall was repeatedly stabbed in her upper torso and back, and she also suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. Relatives believe Hall was stabbed inside her mobile home before she staggered outside to take her final breaths in the front yard. They suspect her two daughters, Amariyona and her younger sister, were responsible. “The girls, when I drove up, they were like ‘Tee Tee we didn’t do this,’” said Robin Coney, Hall’s aunt. “And I was like ‘OK, if y’all didn’t do it, where were y’all when the people that was doing it did it?’” Family members say a big argument occurred between Hall and her daughters on Friday night at their home. “It was her gun. It was in her car,” said Coney. “So they had got it out. So I guess when they were doing all that to her, she was probably trying to get to her gun to fight for her life.” Pike County Sheriff Kenny Cotton said in the Enterprise-Journal that the fight was probably due to Hall punishing her daughters earlier that week. Sources say that the girls tried to run Hall over with the family car that week and she put her daughters on punishment. They possibly retaliated with a brutal attack on their mother on Friday. “I can’t imagine what’s going on inside their minds to process that,” Cotton said. “A mom is a mom no matter what.” After Hall was attacked, Coney said the girls walked around asking neighbors for a ride to McComb because their grandmother had just died. The family across the street wanted to speak to their mom first, but they got no answer when they called. Amariyona and her younger sister then reportedly went to the home of other relatives farther down the road. That’s when Coney said Hall’s younger sister, Ebony went to Hall’s place and found her lying on her back near the driver’s side of her car. Amariyona, 14, is being charged as an adult with murder and she’s being held in the Pike County Jail on a $150,000 bond. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 22. Meanwhile, the 12-year-old, who’s name and charges won’t be released because of youth court proceedings, is being held in the Adams County Detention Center.

Gabe Solis Dies; Ex-Husband of Trina Braxton Was 43

On Thursday, December 20, Gabe Solis passed away after a secretive cancer battle. He was only 43 years old. Now, his ex-wife, Trina Braxton, is addressing both fans and those who loved him — and offering a powerful apology. On the Thursday before the first day of winter, Gabe Solis passed away from cancer. He had kept his cancer battle exceptionally private. Even many members of his own family were unaware. Though it has been years since he and Trina ended their marriage, the two had remained close. Through his appearances on Braxton Family Values and beyond, Gabe had become famous. Some of his loved ones learned of his death through the media, rather than through personal notification. It fell to Trina Braxton to address the passing of the man with whom she spent 12 years of her life. “On December 20, 2018, a chapter permanently closed for my sons and I,” Trina writes on Instagram. “For over 16 years,” Trina continues. “Gabe Solis was an essential part of our lives.” “Like all families,” she notes. “There are good and bad moments that are endured.” “But,” she says. “Those moments, good or bad still made us who we are in the present.” That is true enough. She then addresses the very complicated topic of Gabe’s passing being publicized before everyone was notified. “Unfortunately,” Trina acknowledges. “Someone leaked the story before we could make everyone aware of his passing.” Any time that police or medics or hospital workers learn of a celebrity’s death, there is a chance that someone will cash in by calling in a tip. Many entertainment news outlets will wait respectfully until notifications have been made, but eventually, they can only sit on a story for so long. Trina continues: “and I apologize to those friends and family members for finding out through social outlets.” “I also apologize directly to the Solis Family,” she writes. “I do humbly ask for your prayers for our families,” Trina says, addressing her fans and followers. “But,” she writes. “My greatest request is that when you are posting comments, remember Gabe’s passing is a loss for our family.” “He was a father to my boys, a son, brother, and friend to many,” she affirms. “And,” Trina explains. “I would appreciate privacy and respect as we grieve his unexpected departure.” She concludes her heartfelt post: “@gabe_solis1234 I miss you, my dear friend.” We of course understand why Trina feels responsible for Gabe’s passing being publicized. She is a celebrity. It was through his relationship with her that Gabe himself became famous enough for his death to be reported. But that does not mean that she is responsible for anyone learning that heartbreaking news from the media. Trina and Gabe had their issues — from their on-again, off-again relationship to some emotional difficulties while they were together. In early 2018, the two went on Iyanla: Fix My Life to resolve their differences and old wounds with honesty. It was clear to everyone that they still cared a great deal for each other. Our hearts go out to all of Gabe Solis’ loved ones. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
