Akporode Uwedjojevwe Rearrested For Assaulting Prisoner; Accused Pimp Already Jailed On Sex Trafficking Charges The alleged pimp at the center of the Zola Twitter tale has been accused of pummeling a fellow jailbird while locked up on sex trafficking charges. Akporode Uwedjojevwe is facing a felony charge of “battery by a prisoner” after allegedly attacking another inmate in the Washoe County Jail in Reno, Nv. In her story, Zola, whose Twitter tale of a road trip gone wrong went viral last week, refers to a pimp named “Z” who lured them into stripping and prostitution. Z , later ID’d as Uwedjojevwe, was arrested on felony sex trafficking charges about a month after Zola said they went their separate ways. Uwedjojevwe had remained locked up ever since, and his trial was set to begin early next year. But in July, the 35-year-old beat the crap out of an inmate named Stephan Adams, 21, according to his criminal complaint. Adams is awaiting trial on burglary and gun possession. Uwedjojevwe is due back in court next week for a hearing on the alleged beatdown.

Mariah even took a moment to touch on those rumors that she’s replaced Nick with long-time collaborator Brett Ratner , sarcastically adding: “Of course there were these rumors of our fabulous love affair, darling. I want everyone to know that we’re getting married next week, me and Brett forever, and ever, infinity and beyond. We’re really good friends, he’s super talented, and I’m just really proud of him and everything he’s doing.” Well that’s nice. But we still hear some Nick shade. Do you?
On the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Shelley Smith has come out and revealed her own diagnosis on Twitter. “I now join the one in eight women who are battling breast cancer. Early detection will save my life. Tell loved ones,” wrote the long-time sports journalist, who has been with ESPN since 1997. “My tough cancer treatment will begin in January. Until then, I spread the praise of mammograms and ultrasound. Early detection.” Smith also acknowledged her “cancer warrior sisters” in a subsequent message, along with “so many others who are inspiring me.” “And remember, the warning signs are not just lumps,” added the Emmy winner, who has also written multiple books. “Check for irregular shape, skin condition and pain. And follow up.” Smith recently spoke with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts about her own breast cancer battle and received the following advice from Roberts: “Fight. Fight, fight fight. Don’t worry about anything else…You have permission to be selfish. The message here [is] know your body. Don’t be afraid! It’s better to know that not to know.” Inspired, Smith closed her Tweets for the day by writing: “I am strong and positive as I fight this, just like so many of my breast cancer warrior sisters. We’re Gonna Win!” We send Shelley Smith our very best wishes. Celebrities Who Beat Cancer 1.
