Florida Rapper Livestreams Shootout 23-year old Florida rapper Big LA was arrested on Thursday after live streaming his shootout with the police. LA, whose real name is Laforest Duron Gray Jr., reportedly had the cops called on him after he was seen dragging and beating his wife in the street of his Orange County, FL neighborhood. In the video, you can hear Gray telling his IG followers that he wants to “take one for the team” as he fired a series of shots at the police from his garage. The Sun reports: A witness was reportedly driving past when he saw Gray’s wife in distress and asked if she needed help. They claim the woman initially refused before running after them and jumping into the car asking for assistance. The witness told police Gray ran over to the car, pulled his wife out by the hair and began punching her. Cops managed to detain the rapper using a dog after he refused to be handcuffed. He’s currently being held at Orange County Jail on charges of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer with a firearm, domestic violence battery, resisting an officer with violence and a burglary of conveyance. Crazy times we’re living in folks.
Just a couple of days before Valentine's Day, Larissa Lima was arraigned over her (latest) arrest for domestic battery. Despite Colt Johnson's accusation that his 90 Day Fiance bride was abusive, a lot of fans have questions. Having seen photos of Larissa after their latest fight, a lot of people have a hard time seeing Colt as the victim. But Colt's mother, Debbie, tells SoapDirt that Colt was absolutely a victim of Larissa's abuse. Debbie isn't quite a neutral party in this, but her words carry some weight. She also shares that Larissa's legal situation could be much, much worse than anyone realizes. 1. Debbie is confirming her son’s story She says that Larissa abused Colt during their marriage. It is unclear if she is claiming to have witnessed this, but we’ll walk you through what she has been willing to share. 2. At first, Larissa and Debbie seemed to get along Very quickly, however, Larissa’s complaints about everything, coupled with her arrival signaling a change in Debbie’s life, caused Colt’s mom to break down into tears. 3. A feud quickly began Debbie confessed that Larissa was making her miserable, and Larissa wasn’t shy about feeling the same way 4. Larissa said that Debbie was ruining her life She did not appreciate having a third wheel in the house — especially after she and Colt got married. 5. So there’s no love lost here already But this is no longer a simple family feud playing out on reality television before an audience of millions 6. This is more serious Larissa was arraigned in Las Vegas Justice Court on misdemeanor domestic violence charges. View Slideshow
Jenelle Evans barely appeared on Monday night’s episode of Teen Mom 2 . In fact, she only popped up in one brief and mostly uneventful scene. But even so, she’s the talk of Twitter today thanks to a pair of alarming controversies. The one that’s receiving the most attention on social media this morning involves Jenelle’s mom, Barbara Evans, who made some unsettling comments about her daughter’s marriage to David Eason. Speaking with a member of the show’s security staff, Babara revealed that she believes David represents a serious threat to Jenelle’s safety. “I think he’s hurting her and he’s just keeping her … I can see it, it’s a domestic violence thing and he’s keeping her like a prisoner,” a tearful Babs accused. “She can’t even leave the house.” Frightening stuff, and it’s not hard to see why the scene prompted many viewers to call for MTV to immediately cut ties with the entire Eason family. As it appears right now, the network is subsidizing an abusive household. Interestingly, the other Jenelle controversy of the night also involved Andre the security guard. In the only scene that actually featured Jenelle on camera, her baby daddy Nathan Griffith dropped off his son Kaiser following a weekend visit. Kaiser was reluctant to say goodbye, and he was so overwhelmed with affection that he runs to Andre to offer him a hug, as well. (As many viewers pointed out, the boy did not seem eager to hug Jenelle.) “Tomorrow, can we go to Daddy’s?” Kaiser asked at one point, to which Evans replied, “Not tomorrow. You can go next weekend.” “I might start crying for Daddy,” Kaiser responded. MTV posted a clip of the scene on Twitter, with a caption reading: “Kaiser is the cutest! Watch this sweet moment between @PBandJenelley_1 and her Bubba from tonight’s new #TeenMom2” Not surprisingly, many fans did not agree with the network’s assessment of the show. “That was hard to watch,” tweeted one fan. “There were no sweet moments between Jenelle and Kaiser! He wanted to hug everyone there except her!” echoed another. A third took it as further confirmation of David Eason’s abusive behavior and Jenelle’s negligent parenting. “That was a sweet moment between @PBandJenelley_1 and Kaiser? “Nooo! that was a sweet moment between Nathan, his mom, and Andre & Kaiser. Kaiser wasn’t happy to see her, nor did he want to go with her. Can’t blame the kid. I’m nervous for every living thing in their house.” It’s anyone’s guess as to why the network would describe the scene so inaccurately. Perhaps MTV really is worried about Jenelle quitting Teen Mom 2 . View Slideshow: Barbara Evans: David Eason is Abusing Jenelle! She’s Being Held Prisoner!
We've all known for a long time now that something is not right with David Eason. Well-adjusted people just don't behave the way he does. As his time in the Teen Mom spotlight drags on, he keeps getting worse and worse, and there really seems to be no limit for how low he can go. Many fans of the show have expressed concerns that one of the issues with him is that he's a drug user, though we've seen little evidence of that. Until now, that is. 1. Real Talk David Eason is a menace to society. 2. The Biggest Downward Spiral Before he got with Jenelle, he was arrested several times for things like DUIs, breaking and entering, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was even once jailed with her first husband, Courtland Rogers! 3. Accusations He was also accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend, who claimed in court documents that he pushed her around and threatened to kill her while she was pregnant with their son. 4. Heartbreaking Her story was so sad that a judge granted a restraining order against David for her and their son, which was only recently lifted. 5. So Sad And the abuse accusations have obviously continued — just a few months ago, Jenelle called 911 for help after David allegedly pinned her to the ground so hard she thought he’d broken her collarbone. 6. It Gets Worse But even though the abuse rumors are horrible enough, David definitely has more going on than just that. View Slideshow
Earlier this week, the comedy world was stunned by the passing of Kevin Barnett . The highly-respected comic and co-creator of the Fox series Rel was just 32 at the time of his death. Details of Barnett’s final hours remain scarce, but it’s now been confirmed pancreatitis was the comedian’s cause of death. Barnett was vacationing in Mexico at the time of his passing. “We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen, Kevin Barnett, in Tijuana on Jan. 22,” a U.S. Department of State official told E! News in a statement issued on Thursday. “We offer our sincerest condolences to his family on their loss, and we stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment. “The corresponding autopsy was carried out, which determined that the cause of death was: Non Traumatic Hemorrhage, caused by pancreatitis,” the statement reads. “At the moment his body is still in facilities of the Forensic Medical Service of Tijuana, waiting to be delivered to his family members who are performing the legal proceedings.” Barnett’s final social media post indicated that he was in Mexico, but did not suggest that he was aware of any issues with his health. “In mexico. Bought myself a sweater,” he captioned the post. “Been accused of appropriation several times. In my head I just gave a lady some money so I ain’t cold. Either way. Swag heavy. Mixtape comin.” On social media, Barnett’s friends and fellow comics have been paying heartfelt tribute to the young up-and-comer. “i am so sad,” tweeted Brooklyn 99 star Chelsea Peretti. “Kevin Barnett was an incredible comedian and writer, contributing to Broad City, the stand-up community and beyond,” Comedy Central tweeted Tuesday. “He’ll be greatly missed.” In addition to his work on Rel, Barnett contributed to numerous television shows and movies, including Broad City, The Carmichael Show and The Heartbreak Kid. A celebration of Barnett’s life hosted by several of his fellow comedians will be held at The Bell House in Brooklyn this evening.

90 Day Fiance weddings don’t always lead to happily ever after. There’s a whole spin-off on that topic, in fact. A new report looks into the question of what exactly happens when a 90 Day Fiance couple gets divorced. And will Larissa Lima’s bloody fight with Colt mean that she’ll be shipped back to Brazil? In the summer of 2018, 90 Day Fiance executive producer Fred Sharp made a boast. “Our batting average on this show is that out of every 25 couples on 90 Day Fiance , we’ve only had three divorces,” he announced. “That’s less than 10% and the current U.S. (divorce) rate is over 40%,” he stated. Three out of twenty-four is, for the record, 12%. Which is higher than 10%. “It’s one of the reasons why people love this show,” Sharp assessed. “It’s so unexpected.” Obviously, Season 6 had two couples file for divorce on the same day, and that barely scratches the surface. That may throw a wrench into the statistics, no matter what the percentages Regardless of that statement’s apparent struggles with simple mathematics, there’s a larger issue. The stakes for 90 Day Fiance couples are higher than they are when both parties are American citizens. Why? Because divorce means more than just financial woes, stress, custody fights, and general upheaval. For international couples, divorce can mean deportation. For example, let’s look at Colt Johnson and Larissa Lima. After their terrifying fight earlier this month, Colt filed for divorce. Even while Larissa’s face was smeared in her own blood, she tearfully confessed to fans that she feared what this would mean. “I’ll be deported…I just scratch him because he was hurt me,” Larissa lamented. “I’m really hurt, but he called the police first.” As sympathetic as Larissa may have been in that video, this was the third time that police were called to address alleged domestic battery for that couple. Do three arrests and a divorce automatically lead to deportation? E! News spoke to immigration attorney Edward Schulman who offered consultation. “With Larissa, the criminal aspect can also, if she’s convicted of it… with domestic violence that can also trigger deportation proceedings,” Schulman acknowledges “So that brings it into a whole different realm,” than what most 90 Day Fiance couples face. However, Schulman notes: “If Larissa can show that she is a victim of domestic violence, then she can self-petition for a green card.” This would involve “stating that she a victim of violence under the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) act,” he notes. “And,” Shculman says. “She can then get a green card herself without having the sponsorship of Colt.” Like T-visas for sex trafficking victims, the VAWA green card option is designed to give victims an option to escape or report without being deported. That said, the VAWA was allowed to expire in December, and we do not know how that would impact Larissa’s chances. “However, if she is deemed to be the one who is the aggressor who gets convicted of domestic violence,” Schulman continues. He says: “she could be placed in deportation proceedings and possibly deported from the United States.” “If she came into my office,” Shculman suggests. “I would say that if she really feels that she is a battered spouse, she should start gathering proof of the good faith marriage.” Larissa should also “get a psychological evaluation of herself to show that she has suffered trauma.” “If there are police reports, get those, get pictures, all those can prove that not only was it a good faith relationship,” Shculman says. “But that she is a battered spouse.” Schulman would have similar, if less urgent, advice for Colt Johnson. “I would do exactly the same thing that Larissa is doing, which is getting pictures,” Schulman says. “He doesn’t need to get the psychological evaluation obviously,” he continues. “But he would get the police reports and so forth.” These would be necessary “to pursue criminal proceedings against Larissa.” It sounds like Colt has the upper hand in any potential legal fight that they might have. Larissa speculated that Colt may have planned their fight that way, but that is unclear. Not every couple is as toxic as Colt and Larissa. What does it mean if a non-violent couple divorces? “If they haven’t gotten a green card yet, if the divorce happens prior to them being granted the green card,” Schulman begins In that case, he says, “Then they are out of luck for the green card through that spouse.” But there is hope, Schulman notes, “If the first spouse is still willing to issue an affidavit of support.” “Which is saying that they are willing to monetarily support them,” he continues. “Then they can still get a green card either through that spouse or through a different mechanism.” “It’s rarely seen, especially if someone is getting divorced,” Schulman concludes. “They tend not to want to pursue or help that person anymore.” As fans can recall, the most famous incident of exes on the show fighting over deportation was Mohamed Jbali and Danielle Mullins. Danielle, vowing revenge after feeling used, vowed to get Mohamed deported. In particular, she lamented that he had avoided having sex with her, which she felt invalidated their marriage. She also accused him of cheating. Mohamed is still in the US — he is living in Texas. Danielle was unable to annul their marriage, in part because they had consummated their union — precisely once. Whether Mohamed was using her for a green card or not, he got it. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?

Source: David Livingston / Getty Salim Akil Thinks Alleged Mistress’ Lawsuit Is Too Little, Too Late Salim Akil has finally responded to a lawsuit that alleged he abused and stole a script from a former mistress, Amber Dixon Brenner . According to The Blast , the producer/director is demanding his alleged mistress’ lawsuit accusing him of domestic violence be dismissed. In court documents, Akil claims the statute of limitations on Amber Brenner’s claims has passed. He also says Brenner is barred from bringing claims against him due to her own “negligent, intentional or bad faith conduct.” Additionally, Akil is demanding her lawsuit be thrown out and she be made to pay his attorney fees. Yikes! Amber Dixon Brenner initially filed a lawsuit against Akil on November 20th, 2018 that detailed explicit sexual abuse she allegedly endured from him for over a period of TEN YEARS. She also claimed in the lawsuit that she shared a script with him, which he shopped around on her behalf. After months of failed communication, Akil’s show “Love Is____” was picked up by OWN, bearing similarities. Brenner is suing for compensatory damages, emotional distress, attorney fees, and punitive damages. The amount she is asking for is not disclosed in her complaint. Thoughts?
