I can’t fault him if he was feeling that way.’ She goes on to say: ‘When you love someone so much you just want to be there to support them.

Cunningham Reality Starlet Arraigned On Fraud Charges Following Paid Date “Bad Girls Club” alum Shannade Clermont denied claims that she raided $20,000 from a dead man’s bank account following what the Feds characterized as a “prostitution date.” Clermont was in Manhattan Federal Court Monday for her arraignment on charges of aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and access device fraud. “Not guilty,” Clermont said in a soft voice when Judge Naomi Buchwald asked her to plead. If convicted, she faces more than 40 years in federal prison. Federal prosecutor Sagar Ravi asked for a six-week adjournment so that the defense could review evidence in the case – including bank info and emails from three different accounts – as well as discuss possible plea deals. The judge agreed, and Clermont is now due back in October. Clermont Twins outside Manhattan Federal Court. Photo by Jennifer H. Cunningham Clermont, dressed in quirky sunglasses and a designer blouse, was accompanied by her twin sister, Shannon, along with several family members for the five-minute hearing. Relatives of her alleged victim were also in court, but declined to comment. Clermont said she didn’t want to comment outside court, but her lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman said the hearing went as expected, but it was too early to say whether his client would take a plea deal because he’d yet to review the evidence in the case. “The prosecution has been fair and understanding, and that’s what we expect,” Lichtman told us. “I hope that this case is resolved fairly soon.”

Exclusive: The Game Denies Reality Show Co-Star’s Claim That He Violated Court Orders In $7.1 Million Sex Abuse Case

The Game Appealing $7.1 Million Judgment In Favor Of “She’s Got Game” Co-Star Priscilla Rainey The Game has come out swinging against his former “She’s Got Game” co-star’s claim that he violated a court order in her $7.1 million sex assault win against him. Last month, Priscilla Rainey filed a motion for civil contempt against the “This Is How We Do” rapper, alleging that he flouted the judge’s orders by providing shoddy answers to her requests for his financial information. Her lawyer said under oath that The Game didn’t provide one answer or document in his response to her evidence demand. But The Game said he did in fact respond to her requests for financial documentation, and if his answers weren’t to her liking, she never followed up with him and instead went blabbing to the judge. He said that he had a right to object to several of Rainey’s requests under the law, and said the woman tried to “punish” The Game instead of following up with him to resolve it. Rainey sued The Game, accusing him of groping her private parts while on an after hours date while filming “She’s Got Game.” A jury later sided with her and awarded her $7.1 million, but The Game appealed the decision, and that case is now making it’s way through the courts. The Game wants the judge to deny Rainey’s civil contempt motion, and force her to pay his lawyers fees. A judge is now set to rule on the matter next week.

Exclusive: Student Employee Accused In $1 Million Howard University Financial Aid Scandal Says He’s A Victim & Did Nothing Wrong

Tyrone Hankerson Said He’s A Victim In This Case – And His Record Will Speak For Itself One of the Howard University employees accused of a massive embezzlement scheme has fired back at the anonymous claims, saying he’s innocent and has been victimized himself. An article published on Medium this week claimed that Howard University staff stole some $1 million in financial aid earmarked for students from 2013 through 2017. The article states that the HBCU’s president, Wayne Frederick, knew about the fraud since at least May 2017, but had not acted. The article specifically names Tyrone Hankerson, who was then a student employee, as well as Associate Director of Financial Aid, Brian Johnson, alleging the men both received unusually large grants and stipends from the school. The piece has since been taken down. But Hankerson said in a statement to BOSSIP exclusively that the article and the info that was cherry picked from his confidential records doesn’t paint the whole picture, and he’s the one who has been wronged. Hankerson said he did receive financial aid from the university, but it was nothing unusual for a student on a scholarship who also went abroad to continue his education. Hankerson said he never authorized the release of his records to anyone, and his legal team is working with the university to find out who leaked his data. He said he has never had any criminal or disciplinary record from the school, has been a model student and wants the public to stop the rush to judgement. Hit the flip to read Hankerson’s statement:
