Crazy . Former Football Star Admits To Affair With Teacher According to Mail Online A former Alabama University football star allegedly admitted to having sex with his former high school teacher, who wanted to have his baby. Top rated defensive back Eddie Williams, 20, is said to have admitted the affair with his high school athletic director Karissa Wesley, 35, after they became close when she tutored him. Williams said he had sex with Wesley ‘about 10 times’ when he visited her house. Another student, who was present and heard them having sex, told police he ended the affair when Wesley talked about having Williams’ baby. Williams, who was kicked off the Alabama squad earlier this year after being accused of taking part in a robbery on campus, said the affair took place in his senior year. Williams at first denied the affair – but later confessed, according to Major Tommy Ford with Bay County Sheriff’s Office. Details of the alleged affair emerged as Wesley was suspended from her job as Athletic Director at Arnold High School in Bay County, Florida. A former coach at the school is reported to have told school board members about the affair while school chiefs received an email from a former teacher Peggy Dawson. Authorities said Dawson’s email included a hand written letter from former football player Andre Allen who alleged that Wesley and Williams had sex. Allen was referred to as student B while Williams was student A in a subsequent investigation. The e-mail said that Williams smoked sticky icky with Wesley on multiple occasions, stayed the night and drank alcohol with them. Williams’ confession to the affair was released by police to TV station WMBB. Wesley has strenuously denied the affair and issued a statement to WMBB TV. She said:’I deny all allegations in the letter. I want to thank the Arnold students, especially the volleyball players, administration and faculty, parents and community for the outpouring of prayers, love and support.’ The school district investigation found that Wesley is in a relationship with the school’s Football and Basketball Coach, Bobby Britton. More and more teachers are chopping down students…no wonder we are behind in education. Myspace

Hate Crimes: Transgender Woman Beaten To Death By Multiple Men Yelling Gay Slurs

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This is sad. Transgender Woman Killed In Hate Crime According to Mail Online A transgender woman in New York has died after being beaten by a group of men who attacked her and yelled gay slurs. The victim, 21-year-old Islan Nettles, died Thursday in a Harlem hospital when she was taken off life support five days following the attack. The attacker, a 20-year-old man named Paris Wilson, was arrested for assault but now that the victim has died he may face murder charges. The attack on Nettles was the latest in a spate of bias incidents this year in New York and a total of 68 have been reported so far this year, showing a significant increase from the 54 that were reported in all of last year. Nettles and a friend, another transgender woman, were out Saturday evening in Harlem when they ran into a group of men and one pounced, punching Nettles in the face, police said. The New York Post reports that the attack took place after Wilson began flirting with Nettles, before he realized she was transgendered. Once that became clear, his friends started teasing him and he proceeded to attack her. After the attack, Nettles was hospitalized, slipped into a coma and later died. The witness eventually told detectives about the anti-gay remarks- after initially leaving them out of the criminal report- and the hate crimes task force took over the investigation. Detectives are looking whether the suspect had propositioned Nettles. Upgraded charges are possible following the medical examiner’s ruling, police said. Nettle’s sister, Elana, said in an interview Friday that she and her mother were coping well so far but did not comment further. The bias attacks this year range from yelled slurs to the May killing of a 32-year-old gay man in Greenwich Village. Police stepped up patrols this summer in response. In May, police said Mark Carson, 32, was first taunted with homophobic slurs, then shot in the head in Greenwich Village, not far from the site of 1969 riots that helped give rise to the gay rights movement. A suspect was arrested on a charge of murder as a hate crime. The killing, and other bias attacks, sparked a summer protest attended by thousands. Some of the other bias incidents this summer included an assault last week where two men were attacked in Chelsea. Christine Quinn, the city’s first openly gay City Council speaker and a mayoral candidate, denounced the most recent attack. ‘An attack against one person, or one community, is an assault against all New Yorkers,’ she said in a joint statement with other council members. ‘We ask all New Yorkers to come together, to embrace our differences and to denounce hate violence.’ So he attacked her because he was embarrassed? She didn’t have to lose her life. Prayers go out to her family. LinkedIn

Sugarland Tap MC Lyte, Keri Hilson For ‘VH1 Divas’ Duets

Posted on December 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Sugarland Tap MC Lyte, Keri Hilson For ‘VH1 Divas’ Duets

Country duo perform ‘Stuck Like Glue’ and cover Aretha Franklin’s ‘Think.’ By Mawuse Ziegbe Jennifer Nettles, MC Lyte and Kristian Bush of Sugarland perform for “VH1 Divas Salute the Troops” Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images When country duo Sugarland hit the stage at “VH1 Divas Salute the Troops,” they didn’t just bang out their hits for the soldiers, they mixed up their set list with some offerings from the rap and R&B worlds as well. Following an introduction by model Marisa Miller and frontwoman Jennifer Nettles’ brother, who serves in the military, the country duo kicked things off with their twangy hit “Stuck Like Glue.” Kristian Bush strummed the song’s opening notes on an acoustic guitar, as Nettles helmed the first verse with her trademark plucky energy. Rocking a chunky statement necklace, black tank top and skinny trousers, the songstress drew hoots from the crowd throughout the catchy chorus. The soldiers swayed and sang along as Nettles belted the sunny jam to the mass of service members packed into the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar hangar in San Diego. Nettles and company gave their country smash a hip-hop revamp courtesy of legendary femcee MC Lyte, who joined the pair midway through the set. Lyte bounded on stage in an olive drab jacket, dangly silver hoops and jeans, and dropped a few bars. “We went together/ Whatever is whatever, I got the kind of love that just won’t let up/ You for me, me for you/ Forever is forever, stuck like glue,” Lyte rhymed. (Click here to see photos from “VH1 Divas Salute The Troops” .) After hip-hop and country divas grooved together, Lyte skipped over to bust out some of the song’s catchy “wah-oh, wah-oh” scats. Merging her hip-hop background with the country outfit, Lyte cheerfully galloped across the stage and commanded concertgoers to put their hands in the air. The duo showcased their versatility throughout the night, and also covered R&B icon Aretha Franklin’s 1968 hit “Think.” Nettles donned a suitably sensational look to tackle the Queen of Soul’s repertoire, working it out in a shimmery mini-dress with a swingy fringe hem. Not that they needed it, but the duo did get some assistance from an R&B pro when Keri Hilson — who joined Nettles and Katy Perry earlier for the show’s opener — returned to the stage. Rocking a belted black vest and leggings, Hilson traded lines with her country counterpart, slowing things down a bit during the bridge. The duet culminated in a soulful back-and-forth of trills between the ladies, before Nettles dedicated the performance to the song’s original singer and one of music’s original divas. “Miss Aretha Franklin, get well soon,” Nettles declared. “We need your voice, baby!” What did you think of Sugarland’s performance at “VH1 Divas”?
