Jonathan Rivera: I NEVER Cheated on Fernanda Flores!

Now that Jonathan Rivera has reportedly signed divorce papers, ex-wife Fernanda Flores says that he’s dead to her . Rumors about their marriage and breakup — including some wild, hurtful accusations — have circulated about this couple. Jonathan says that he is tired of hearing lies about himself, and wants to set the record straight. Jonathan Rivera has heard what fans and followers have been whispering about him, and enough is enough. “To set the record straight,” Jonathan’s comment begins. “I never cheated on her.” “I met my girlfirend months after our separation,” he shares. It was only in May that Jonathan revealed his girlfriend on social media as the two shared a sexy, romantic cruise. “I never ‘abused’ her,” Jonathan adds. “I never neglected her.” “I gave her everything I had,” Jonathan writes. “And,” he continues, he “treated her with nothing but respect.” “I was patient,” Jonathan insists. “But knew it had to end when she showed me who she really was.” Well, that is certainly ominous-sounding. It is also intensely and frustratingly vague coming from someone who signed up to be a public figure and has no known NDAs in effect. Jonathan makes it clear that he has heard enough rumors about how his marriage came to an end. “I will no longer be responding to these outrageous allegations,” Jonathan affirms. Once again, for those in the back, he repeats: “I have officially signed the divorce papers.” He means that Fernanda is now out of his life, forever. “I am happy,” Jonathan concludes. “And moving on with my life.” Jonathan and Fernanda broke up in December of last year. So much remains (frustratingly!) unclear about their split, but they had a bitter argument. According to Jonathan, Fernanda said things to him that he didn’t feel that he could ever unhear or that she could truly take back. He also cited Fernanda’s desire to live in a city, rather than in Lumberton, as a factor behind their marital friction. It has been said on social media that it was “common knowledge” that he cheated on her, but Fernanda has never actually made that accusation. Fernanda has said a lot of other things, however. Just this week, and notably only after Jonathan had signed his divorce papers, she accused him of not being as wealthy as people assume. She said that he owes more to the government than he makes. Fernanda emphasized that she was not trying to defame or degrade her ex-husband, and that she took no pleasure in dragging his name through the mud. Instead, she said that she was simply tired of being viewed as a gold digger and wanted to clear the air. But she also said that he was dead to her. There’s no love lost between these two. Not anymore. Jonathan responded to Fernanda’s posts by suggesting that he’d see her on his next vacation in Mexico. He met her while on vacation in Mexico City, and it seems obvious that he was trying to imply that she would be deported. However, as we have already reported, Fernanda posted a celebratory update about her legal residency back in April. She even recommended an immigration attorney to others. So … it’s not clear if she’ll actually leave the US any time soon. For now, we’re just a little disappointed in them both. Not for breaking up, but for not handling it as well as they might have.

Johnny Depp: Could He Really Go to Jail For Perjury?!

For obvious reasons, it’s pretty uncommon for A-list celebrities to be thrown in prison. The justice system tends to look pretty favorably on the wealthy and well-connected, and if worse comes to worst, you can always just hire a fall guy. Still, when there’s even a remote possibility that a major star will get tossed in the clink we like to imagine how they would cope with life on the cell block. And in the case of Johnny Depp, we think the obvious answer is not very well at all! Sure, Depp’s played some major badasses over the course of his career, and he gets bonus points for being covered in tattoos.  But turning over his many man-bracelets at the front gate would probably leave him with tear-streaked guyliner, and that’s just not a good look on day one. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Why is it — you ask — that there’s a remote chance Johnny might end up rocking a county orange jumpsuit? Well, like every tabloid scandal in his life over the past three years, it all has to do with his messy marriage to Amber Heard. It’s been over two years since Depp and Heard finalized their divorce , but a recent lawsuit — filed by Johnny, ironically — has the ex-couple back in front of a judge. And now, Heard’s lawyers are alleging that Depp committed perjury when in his initial filing. Depp is suing Heard for $50 million in connection with a piece she wrote for the Washington Post in which she described herself as an abuse victim. According to Johnny, Amber’s article violated their non-disclosure agreement — and now he wants her to pay. Unfortunately, the legal action backfired in spectacular fashion, as court proceedings have resulted in one embarrassing revelation after another for the actor. Sure, the allegations have gone both ways. but the ones Heard has lobbed at Depp — including a story in which he became so jealous of James Franco that he flew into a violent rage — have been the most humiliating. And Amber’s latest accusation could have serious legal consequences. According to newly-filed documents obtained by The Blast , Depp “clearly perjured himself claiming that there was only one 911 call reporting his abuse on the evening of May 21, 2016.” Heard’s attorneys say Depp made the claim knowing full well that Amber’s friend iO Tillet Wright made multiple 911 calls the night of the alleged attack. “Readily obtainable public records of LAPD call logs from that evening show that iO Tillet Wright called 911 at 8:30 PM to report Mr. Depp’s violent and destructive behavior that evening, confirming the eyewitness accounts of how iO heard that Mr. Depp was becoming violent toward Ms. Heard over the phone and then called 911,” their filing reads. Now, people go to jail for perjury all the time. But very few of those people have anchored multi-billion dollar Disney franchises. So Depp probably won’t be getting locked up — but this isn’t great news for his already-battered reputation. How many crimes does this guy have to commit to research his role as Grindelwald? Yeesh!

Meek Mill Has Been Granted A New Trial

Read the original post:

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital After years of fighting, it looks like Meek Mill has finally been granted a new hearing in front of a new court. The request was granted Monday, according to court documents. Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill has been granted a new hearing in front of a new court, a milestone his legal team has been pursuing for years. The news comes just two weeks after the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office  filed an appeal  with the Pennsylvania Superior Court asking for a new trial with a new judge. “We’re looking forward to the oral argument before the Superior Court of Pennsylvania and to, hopefully, having Meek’s conviction vacated,” Mill’s attorney Jordan Siev said in a statement. “In light of the District Attorney’s recent filing, where he supports the granting of a new trial to Meek and the recusal of Judge Brinkley, we hope to have this injustice rectified once and for all.” D.A. Wants Meek Mill To Have A New Trial, In Front Of A New Judge The ongoing battle between Meek’s legal team, which has called for Judge Brinkley to recuse herself from the case, and continues to refuse. According to NBC 10 : At the center of Mill’s legal battle is former Philadelphia police officer Reginald Graham, who is among a group of officers on an internal “Do Not Call” to testify list kept by the district attorney’s office. He was the sole officer to testify when Mill, whose legal name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, was first arrested on gun and drug charges in 2007. Since then, Graham’s credibility has been called into question. Several other cases involving the police officer have already been overturned, yet Mill’s conviction remains in place. Meek Mill Accepts Cosmopolitan Hotel’s Apology For Arrest Threat Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner highlighted the “”public perception of unfairness and bias” throughout Mills’ highly public trial, and instances where Brinkley overstepped her duties as a judge.” This story is developing.

Jussie Smollett Case: Chicago PD’s Case File Raises More Questions After Witnesses Confirm Actor’s Description Of Suspects (Exclusive)

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Witnesses Corroborate Jussie Smollett’s Characterization Of Persons Of Interest In Alleged Race Hate Incident The recent release of several hundred pages of internal documents related to the alleged racist attack against actor Jussie Smollett’s has raised questions about law enforcement’s narrative of the case after some witness statements appear to match the “Empire” actor’s story. Chicago Police released more than 400 pages of documents earlier this week that detail it’s handling of Smollett’s case , and at least two eyewitnesses told police that they saw men who fit Smollett’s descriptions of the suspects loitering near the scene around the time of the alleged incident, according to the documents, which were obtained by BOSSIP. A hotel security guard told police that he saw three men in dark clothing – and one of the men was white and wearing a facemask – near the scene around the time of the incident, the case’s papers state. And another resident who was walking a dog told police that she saw a white man smoking a cigarette with a rope poking out from underneath his coat. The witness said the man appeared to be waiting for something, and his clothes appeared wet. Source: Brandon Caldwell / Radio One Houston Cops accused Smollett of staging the alleged attack to help advance his career and later charged Smollett with making a false police report. The District Attorney’s Office eventually dropped the charges. Smollett and his legal team weren’t aware of the details in the documents because the District Attorney’s Office and his lawyers did not exchange evidence before Smollett’s charges were ultimately dropped, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told BOSSIP. Nevertheless, our source said Smollett’s story hasn’t wavered, and while his camp isn’t worried about his career, there is a concern that his community and advocacy work has been overshadowed by the case. “It got political and it got bigger than him,” the source said. “It’s the years of advocacy, the things he’s been doing for his community and people of color that goes away and it’s not fair.”

Larissa Lima SLAMS Deportation Rumor: I Can PROVE Debbie is Lying!!

Over the weekend, vengeful former mother-in-law Debbie Johnson gleefully claimed that Larissa Lima will be deported in the near future. But Larissa clapped back, insisting that this isn’t true. And then, on Tuesday, the 90 Day Fiance star shared a stunning piece of evidence that Debbie’s prediction was nothing but hot air. Take a look: Over the weekend, a fan asked Colt Johnson on Instagram why Larissa had not been banished to Brazil yet. Strangely, instead of responding himself, it was Debbie’s mother who answered the comment. “Everything takes time,” Debbie wrote. “There is still a domestic violence hearing next week,” she noted. “And, after that, she will be deported,” Debbie predicted. “It just takes time.” Though the post was soon taken down, 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates shared a screencap of Debbie’s claim. Larissa, too, saw Debbie’s claim — and a host of concerned messages. “I woke up this morning to find messages sent to me and posted about my legal status in the U.S.” Larissa wrote on Instagram. “This isn’t true,” she revealed. Larissa affirmed that “Everything about my status in the U.S. is confidential.” “And,” she added. “Will not be disclosed by third parties on social media that [are] not involved in any immigration process with me.” “Some of the most popular online press outlets are reporting these false statements,” Larissa observed. Notably, it was a newsworthy topic. And it’s appropriate to report one reality star’s claims about another, so long as they’re presented as claims , not facts. But Larissa felt hurt, writing: “And it has worried my family and fans.” It sounds like she also received some nasty, hateful messages, gloating over her allegedly upcoming deportation. “Everything I have received in these messages has been screenshotted and forwarded to be reviewed,” Larissa warned. “I truly respect my agreement that was signed by a judge,” Larissa expresses. “And,” she reminds her fans and followers. “I have been following it since day one.” She and Coltee are not allowed to disparage each other. For these two, that means that they’re basically not allowed to mention each other. “The lawful agreement also includes no third party defamation,” Larissa notes. “And that,” she explains. “Is the reason I do not want to talk or answer questions about my past.” “I have been trying to live my life and allow the courts to handle everything,” Larissa shares. “As it is in their hands.”  “As many of you know,” she reminds her fans. “My court date is May 30th.” That is this Thursday. “It is the last and saddest chapter of my life,” Larissa notes. “And,” she emphasizes. “I want to finish it as soon as possible to finally have peace.” ‘I will not accept defamation of any kind,” Larissa declares. She then explains why she does not answer all questions or allow herself to get dragged into every single feud. “My Instagram is how I connect with fans,” she concludes. But that’s not all. On Tuesday morning, she took to Instagram to ask fans to wish her luck, as she had a very important “appointment” that day. On Tuesday afternoon, Larissa then updated her Instagram Story.  Standing outside an office of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Larissa holds a conspicuous manila folder and smiles. “Feeling positive,” she wrote. Obviously, we don’t know exactly what she was doing, and it may be some time before she shares the details. But if this means that she will get to remain in the US, that is fantastic news! Congratulations, Larissa! View Slideshow: Larissa Lima Shuts Down Trolls Who Call Her a Gold Digging Skank

Chelsie Kryst Wins Miss USA 2019; Internet Falls In Love

We might have a full-blown pageant enthusiast in the White House , but even so, beauty-based competitions no longer occupy a place at the forefront of our national consciousness. Every once in a while, however, a contestant comes along that captures the hearts and minds of the American public. On Thursday night, 28-year-old attorney Chelsie Kryst was crowned Miss USA 2019. What might be even more impressive, however, is that she managed to win over even the most cynical tweeters. Chelsie was crowned by her predecessor, Miss USA 2018 Sarah Rose Summers, in a ceremony hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey. Pageant experts say she likely secured her victory with her articulate response when asked to describe millennials: “I would say that my generation is innovative,” Kryst told the judges. “I’m standing here in Nevada, in the state that has the first majority female legislature in this entire country. Mine is the first generation to have that forward-looking mindset that has inclusivity, diversity, and strength and empowered women,” she added. “I’m looking forward to continued progress with my generation.” The recipient of both a law degree and an MBA from Wake Forest University, Kryst is a civil rights litigation attorney who’s licensed to practice law in both South Carolina and North Carolina. She’s also a former Division I athlete, having competed in track and field during her college years. If you’re already blown away and wondering how Kryst has managed to cram all of this into a single lifetime, buckle in because there’s more to come. Chelsie is also the founder and chief contributor of the fashion site White Collar Glam. “Blogging about fashion in the workplace is impor­tant to me because I want women to be armed for the workplace in clothing that will put us in the best possible position to achieve success,” she says. With her win at the Miss USA competition, Kryst is now set to represent America in the Miss Universe pageant held later this year. She says she intends to put her legal career on hold and move to New York City in preparation. That’s also a good excuse to dodge the White House invitation that’s heading her way as we speak. “No time for Big Macs, Mr. President! I have a competition to prepare for!”

The One Story: Black Women Are Working To Eliminate The Racial Stigma Of Marijuana

See the article here:

O ne important yet unsung aspect of the legal cannabis industry is changing the conversation around how Black people are viewed within the larger marijuana context. “People genuinely use cannabis to have a better quality of life,” said Hope Wiseman, founder and owner of the Mary & Main medical marijuana dispensary in Maryland, citing the plant’s effective use following chemotherapy as a prime example. The stigma of the plant has largely been overshadowed by its purpose, which, contrary to popular belief, is not just to get stoned. Marijuana propaganda combined with unbalanced media coverage over the years has for many people distorted marijuana’s therapeutical benefits. Much of that is explained to patients as they navigate the complicated process to legally gain access to dispensaries and buy “cannabis products that have been tested and effective for their conditions,” Melinda Toussaint, co-owner of MariCare Wellness in Maryland and a family nurse practitioner, said. Watch the third installment of The One Story’s video about women and weed to find out more how Black women are among the leaders in the marijuana industry to end the racial stigma associated with non-whites and cannabis.
