What In The Racism: Georgia Landlord Evicts White Couple For Having Too Many Black Visitors 

Source: Peter Dazeley / Getty North Georgia Landlord Evicts White Tenet For Having Too Many Black Guests Racism runs so deep for some people that they even have an issue with White kids playing with Black kids. One Georgia couple was evicted by their landlord back in December 2018 for allowing their kids to have African American guests. Victoria Sutton filed a housing discrimination suit against landlords Patricia and Allen McCoy who forced her to move out of her North Georgia home because she “had a N*****” on the property. According to the lawsuit, Sutton began inviting a black co-worker with a 5-year-old son to visit so their children could play. CNN reports : “After one of the playdates  Allen McCoy knocked on her door and used racial slurs to refer to African Americans. He called her a “n***** lover,” the suit says, and threatened to call Child Protective Services over her having a “n***** on their property.” He told her she had two weeks to move out, adding that he’d previously evicted a woman who’d tried to let an African American person move in with her.” Just like most racists, McCoy denied the allegations, telling reporters he wasn’t prejudiced, “some of the best friends I got is colored.” Unfortunately, housing discrimination is nothing new. According to legal director Sean J. Young, filed the lawsuit on Sutton’s behalf, “Housing discrimination is one of the most pernicious forms of discrimination today. It contributes to inequality and  can serve to limit the long-term dreams and aspirations of its victims. Where you live determines how you live.” The eviction dispute ended up in court in October 2018, when the judge ordered the couple to give Sutton at least 60 days to move. The woman moved out later that year.

Spinderella’s attorney, Paul Stafford, released a statement on Roper’s behalf: “Spinderella is seeking injunctive relief due to the immediate and irreparable harm that has been caused to her due to the acts and omissions of the defendants. Before we filed this lawsuit, we intended to resolve the matter with all the defendants, but we were unable to do so, and it’s unfortunate that the defendants have chosen not to try and honor Spinderella’s role in the group or their financial or legal commitments to her. So she was in a position where she had to force her rights and protect her brand, so that’s what we’re doing.” It sucks that things are going down this way. Hopefully, it’s not too late for reconciliation or at least having a conversation that could lead to some increased understanding.

Writer Sues Karen Civil For Firing Her Over Nicki Minaj Tweet

The lawsuit stems from a tweet she posted regarding rapper Nicki Minaj . Last year, a writer found herself in the middle of a Twitter war with not only rapper Nicki Minaj but her legion of fans: The Barbs. The whole thing started when Wanna Thompson, whose real name is Tuwanna, shared an honest and kindly worded tweet about how she would like to have seen Nicki’s lyrical content change and grow as she does. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). She wrote: “You know how dope it would be if Nicki put out mature content?” Just reflecting on past relationships, being a boss, hardships, etc. She’s touching 40 soon, a new direction is needed.” As a result, Nicki Minaj hopped in her DM with some less than kind words. Nicki Minaj exhibited #Queen behaviour when she hopped in my DMs and insulted me numerous times over an innocent music opinion while her fans continue to harass me and DM me death threats.

Thompson said that if she knew the tweet would cause this much commotion, she would have never sent it. In addition to the threats, Thompson was subsequently fired from her internship as a writer with Karen Civil’s company, who has worked with Minaj in the past. Which is why she is suing Civil, claiming that Emiliano’s tweets about her impacted her ability to find employment after her termination from Civil’s company. She’s suing for $1.5 million for defamation. According to Hot New Hip Hop , Civil’s attorney, Walter Mosley, responded to the story of the lawsuit. “We have not been served with any lawsuit so we can not respond to the specifics of this alleged case. However, my firm was hired to respond to defamation and figure assault perpetrated by this young lady many months ago and it seems like her actions have persisted from reading this article. At this time we will reserve our rights to exercise the full extent of every available remedy both financial and/or filing for injunctive relief. We should also remind Tuwanna Thompson that she is still under a comprehensive NDA w/ Karen Civil.

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Faking Illness to Get Out of Lawsuit?

Faking sick. When you’re a kid it’s a marvelous strategy that can get you out of everything from household chores to algebra tests. But one of the many, many things that sucks about being an adult is that whether you’re faking it or you’ve actually been laid low by illness, you’re still expected to keep your appointments and meet your obligations. That’s a lesson that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are learning the hard way this week. As we’ve reported in the past, Tori and Dean are broke . And we don’t mean “fire the live-in acupuncturist” Hollywood broke. No, these two are flat-out coupon-clipping, mayonnaise sandwich-eating destitute. Okay, so maybe the situation isn’t quite that dire, but Tori and Dean are being sued by creditors left and right, and insiders have claimed that the couple’s debts are far greater than their combined earnings last year. We’re guessing such deep debt is particularly difficult to endure when you’ve spent most of your life in the lap of luxury, as is the case with these two. Anyway, one of the many organizations that claims to have been fleeced by the deadbeat McDermotts is the City National Bank of Los Angeles. The bank alleges that Tori and Dean have failed to pay back a six-figure loan, which has amassed a considerable amount of interest in the 18 months since Tori and Dean made their last payment. The couple was scheduled to appear in court this morning to respond to a lawsuit filed by the bank but they requested a postponement due to McDermott’s sudden illness. The actor posted the above photo over the weekend with a caption reading: “So this happened last night. “I got admitted to hospital with pneumonia, possibly meningitis. “I’ve never been so sick in my life!!!! Thumbs up and spirits up though. And don’t forget to listen to @daddyissuesshow this morning at 9am.” Yes, Dean was healthy enough to plug his podcast, which we assume was pre-recorded. Radar Online has confirmed that Tori and Dean were on the docket at LA County Court, and apparently, they were scheduled to testify in two separate hearings, both of which have been postponed: The appointments were listed as “Hearing on Application for Order for Appearance and Examination of Dean McDermott,” and “Hearing on Application for Order for Appearance and Examination of Tori Spelling,” respectively. The site reports that those hearings have been pushed back in response to Dean’s illness: “Lawyers on both sides agreed to push the hearing to September,” says one insider. The timing of Dean’s hospitalization combined with the fact that he was well enough to post selfies and promote his podcast has led many commenters to speculate that he’s faking it. To be clear — that’s probably not the case. However, if Dean really went to such great lengths to postpone a bankruptcy hearing, then he deserves our undying respect as a master bullsh-t artist.

Knifed Up: Messy Mariah Carey Ex-Assistant Reveals Skinny Legend Has Booty Injections

Source: Samir Hussein / Getty Mariah Carey’s Ex-Assistant Puts Her Cosmetic Surgeries On Blast In Lawsuit Mariah Carey supposedly went through several procedures to get slim-thick and charged it to an employee’s car — now the woman is putting her on blast. MC is accused of using her ex-assistant Lianna Shakhnazaryan’s AMEX card to pay for and conceal at least 6 cosmetic surgeries, says Daily Mail. The receipts are signed by ” Stella Carey” and include a $10,000 in PLLA buttock filler injections, a $4,800 LipoFreeze fat-melting laser treatment to her upper breasts and an $8,900 firming ultrasound procedure to her neck and jawline. They were then mailed to Mariah’s home address. Mariah is currently embroiled in a court battle with her former friend and employee over claims that Lianna Shakhnazaryan, 36, spent money on Carey’s personal credit card and secretly filmed her. But employees and Shakhnazaryan tell a different story about Mariah’s spending habits. Allegedly she would use their cards and reimburse them later for hundreds of thousands in purchases. ‘Mariah never wanted people to know about her shopping or surgeries so she would put them on [former assistant] Lianna’s [Shakhnazaryan] card or [former manager] Stella’s [Bulochnikov] cards,’ an insider said. ‘She has an AMEX card of her own but her business management team only let her have one because of her spending – she always spent so much on it, it would get maxed out.’ ‘All the staff, including her security guards and nannies, have to put stuff on their cards and get it reimbursed. Mariah sued her former assistant earlier this year, alleging the woman tried to extort her with “intimate videos” for $8 Million. Shakhnazaryan filed a counter-suit in January alleging she endured battery and racial abuse from the singer. Does it look like Mariah has had body work done to YOU?

Cold-Blooded: Scottie Pippen Adds 5-Year-Old Girl To Lawsuit After His Property Got Damaged

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty Scottie Pippen Adds 5-Year-Old Girl To Lawsuit According to NBC , former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen has accused a young girl of defacing his Florida mansion with markers and crayons in a lawsuit he filed against the child’s parents. Pippen claims the girl, who was then 4 years old at the time, damaged “certain elements of the property” with coloring tools, adding that her parents, comedian Lindsay Glazer and Jacob Woloshin, had “responsibility for her conduct.” Pippen filed the suit in a Broward County court in 2018 alleging that Glazer and her husband destroyed his Fort Lauderdale home by causing more than $109,000 in damages. The couple moved into his house after theirs was damaged in September 2017 by Hurricane Irma. They all agreed that the couple would pay $30,000 a month for rent. Pippen had placed the home on the market, but agreed to let them stay only if they kept the property in “top show condition,” the lawsuit states. Pippen also alleged the couple allowed their pets (a dog and a cat)  to “urinate throughout the home, thereby causing permanent stains and unsanitary conditions.” Pippen is demanding payment for damages, legal fees and other costs.

Exasperated Landlord Mounts Last Ditch Effort To Save Rent Case Against Blac Chyna For Nearly $50K (Exclusive)

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Blac Chyna Accused Of Skipping Out On Almost $50,000 In Back Rent On Southern California Cottage The landlord who accused Blac Chyna of running off on almost $50,000 in rent is gunning to save the case from being dismissed. Landlord Michael Kremerman filed court papers this week begging a judge to serve the “Rob & Chyna” star with the case complaint through a local newspaper after several failed attempts to serve the mom of two at her new address, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP. The landlord sued Blac Chyna for breach of contract and negligence last month, alleging she upped and moved from a Studio City cottage four months before her lease was up without settling the back rent payments and with about $18,000 worth of items from the house. Kremerman said this week that he hired a process server to hand his lawsuit over to Chyna, but couldn’t find her, even though the process server said in an affidavit that they showed up to Chyna’s new home five times – even once at 4:16 a.m. – and even staked the home out for hours two times earlier this month. “Defendant has not acknowledged receipt,” Kremerman’s paperwork states. “Plaintiffs last resort is publication.” Chyna, whose real name is Angela Renee White, hasn’t responded to the case – most likely because she hasn’t been served on it yet. A judge has yet to rule on Kremerman’s motion.

Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty R. Kelly’s Lawyers Claim He Missed His Civil Court Case Because He Doesn’t Know How To Read According to TMZ , R. Kelly’s legal team is fighting a default judgment granted to one of his alleged victims because the R&B legend can’t really read. Earlier this week, Kelly lost a civil lawsuit in which he was accused of sexually abusing an underage girl in the late 1990s . The 52-year-old singer failed to respond to appear in court & respond to the lawsuit, which led a Cook County judge to issue a default judgment for the plaintiff. Zaid Abdallah and Raed Shalabi, are now claiming the singer’s “learning disability” prevented him from reading the court documents and taking proper action. “[Kelly] suffers from a learning disability that adversely affects his ability to read,” legal documents state, “… in essence he cannot.” A damages hearing for the case will take place on May 8. Kelly’s attorneys are asking that the default judgment be set aside so that they can fight the plaintiff’s claims.

R. Kelly Loses Underage Sex Civil Lawsuit Judgment After Skipping Court

Source: Nuccio DiNuzzo / Getty R. Kelly lost a judgment in a civil lawsuit case after failing to appear in court in Chicago this week. The woman who brought the lawsuit claims that the troubled R&B singer engaged in sexual activity with her when she was 16 years of age. The Guardian reports : The woman, who accused Kelly of repeatedly having sex with her when she was 16, filed the case in Chicago in February, a day before Kelly was arrested on 10 charges of sexual abuse. She is one of four accusers – three of whom were under age at the time of the alleged crimes – at the center of the criminal case against Kelly, according to her lawyer, Jeffrey Deutschman. She is identified as “HW” in criminal court filings. A Chicago judge on Tuesday entered a default ruling against Kelly, according to court records, after he did not respond to the lawsuit and missed the hearing. The judge, Moira Johnson, will hear from the woman at a hearing next month before determining how much Kelly should pay in damages. Kelly’s criminal defense attorney, Steve Greenberg, said he was not involved in the civil litigation and declined to comment. According to the report, Kelly and the unnamed woman engaged in sex for over the course of a year. — Photo:
