Bruh: Georgia Inmate Escapes Courthouse In Handcuffs, Found Hours Later Hiding Under A House [Video]

Georgia Inmate Flees Courthouse You have to be pretty bold to try and escape while you’re in the custody of Georgia State Deputies. One Decatur man was clearly about that life, or just afraid ago to prison, when he escaped from a group of Benton County inmates who were being processed for court on Monday. 28-year old Diego Jose Zayas-Martinez was originally charged with terroristic threatening and criminal mischief for threatening to kill a man in 2018. But after fleeing from deputies on foot earlier this week, Martinez’s new charges include first-degree escape and criminal trespass. According to reports , deputies chased a handcuffed Martinez through the courthouse parking lot for several minutes before they found him hiding under a house on Central Avenue. He is now being held at the Benton County Jail on a $550,000 bond with his hearing set for July 15 in Benton County Circuit Court. SMH.

Surprise! Tami Roman And Reggie Youngblood Secretly Married Last Year

Source: Jerod Harris / Getty In Season 7 of Basketball Wives , a major part of Tami Roman ‘s storyline, aside from arguing with Evelyn Lozada , was her aversion to wanting to get married to longtime boyfriend Reggie Youngblood . She was previously married to former NBA star Kenny Anderson from 1994 to 2001, with whom she shares daughters Jazz and Lyric, and infidelity was a big issue for them. However, the real thing that was holding her back, according to the 49-year-old actress and TV personality, was fear that Reggie would resent her if she didn’t want to go through with trying to have a baby following a few miscarriages.

But as it turns out, they must have gotten over that hump because Tami and Reggie went ahead and tied the knot after all. According to The Blast , they secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas the same day they obtained a marriage license, which was on August 17, 2018. Tami and Reggie, that latter of the two being 32, have been dating since around 2013, 2014.

We’ve kicked it around. We’re really good,” the actress said. “We’re in a good place and I don’t think we need to put any pressure on ourselves about having that piece of paper. When the moment presents itself, we’ll jump out there and do it.” Guess they certainly jumped out there after all. Reggie has been a regular face on  Basketball Wives  since their relationship became serious. They were also featured on WE TV’s  Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars  where they quarreled over his desire to marry and have a child with her. After working with the experts on the series, she had a change of heart, and while Tami initially wouldn’t do marriage, she started trying to have a child with him. She announced that she was six months pregnant on VH1’s now-defunct Love & Hip Hop Atlanta After Party Live  in 2015. A few weeks later, she revealed that she had miscarried. Still, she said at the time that they weren’t throwing in the towel when it came to conceiving. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

We are not giving up.” We’ll see what the future holds for these two, whom we can now call Mr. and Mrs. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1992210″ overlay=”true”] Source: MadameNoire.com ALSO TRENDING ON RICKEYSMILEYMORNINGSHOW.COM : Here Are Photos Of Diddy’s Rumored New Girlfriend Gina Huynh 9 Times Gabrielle Union’s Bikini Body Sent Us Straight To The Gym Racist Airbnb Host To Black Guests: ‘Which Monkey Is Going To Stay On The Couch?’ [VIDEO] Follow @TheRSMS

He lit up the room with his warm personality.” He continued: “As hard as it is, our news team is reporting on the circumstance of Todd’s death, we will report on this painful subject of suicide and mental health and perhaps we can help one person out there who is struggling.

What We Learned During 15 Minutes With Remi Adeleke [VIDEO]

Read the original here:

Sometimes in our society it takes being pushed to the edge to make extreme decisions that actually better your life. We’ve seen it amongst Black mothers who make a way out of no way, we’e seen in it starving artists who go homeless chasing a dream, and it’s the story of Remi Adeleke , who overcame the odds of his drug-ridden community where trouble lurked at every turn. He pushed himself to join the Navy SEALs. “I didn’t want to fail anymore,” he says. “I felt like I had nothing left. The Seals team was my way out. I had no other options [and] that’s what pushed me.” From being stripped of everything by the Nigerian government after losing his father at a young age to being raised by a single mom in the Bronx, Adeleke had to adapt. Luckily, his mother instilled “excellence” into him and his siblings that stuck with him, even after he navigated poor school systems, illegal activity and more. After joining the SEALs team, which he had to prove himself for because it almost didn’t happen due to some legal issues, Adeleke went on to become an entrepreneur, actor ( Transformers: The Last Knight , 2017) and now, author. His new book ,  Transformed , details it all. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). In the interview up top, Adeleke describes how he transformed his life and what he wants people to know about overcoming odds. “[I’m not] trying to show people how good I am. [I’m] trying to show people how bad I was. As time began to progress, I began to use my failures, derive the lessons from those failures, take those lessons, and turn them into successes. So that’s what I hope people get from this book,” he says. “If you fail, cool. But do not let that failure define your future. Instead, find the lesson within that failure that you can use for your future. Failure is not the end of it all.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

He said it’s “loosely based off a chapter in the book   called ‘chameleon.’” He’s also working on a story about one of the first groups of African Americans to serve in the military’s special forces – a story he called similar to that of ‘Hidden Figures’ because it isn’t well-known news.

Poor Thang: Beyhive Bashed Nicole Curran Disables Instagram, Gets Death Threats For Babbling By Beyoncé

Source: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Is it really that serious? Nicole Curran Says She’s Gotten Death Threats Over Beyoncé The lady who mindlessly mumbled across Beyoncé’s blessed face is responding to the backlash. Nicole Curran is apparently flummoxed by the backlash of the Bey Hive who’ve been badgering for her over that 13-second incident during the NBA finals. According to Curran who’s married to Warriors owner Joe Lacob, the video of her leaning across Bey to talk to Jay Z isn’t what it seems. Instead, she insists that she was taking the couple’s drink orders and only got close to Beyoncé because it was so loud in the arena. She also clapped back at fans who told her to “kill herself” over the incident. “Listen Beehive. I respect Queen B. I love her!” wrote Curran in her IG comments section. “I talked to her husband twice tonight. First, to take a drink order for them both when they arrived as they were our guests. Second, to explain why I gave his wife a rose from a fan. All of this has been taken out of context. I am a happily married woman. Telling me to kill myself??? Somehow I don’t think she would support this.” She’s since deleted her account—but not before the Hive got some NASTY comments in. Yall the BeyHive is CARRYING on Nicole Curran’s Instagram #Beyonce #NicoleCurran pic.twitter.com/4UZyA5cqjc — Raffy Regulus the Enbydexterous (@raffy_regulus) June 6, 2019 SMH… Nicole’s since spoken to a local reporter about the incident; hit the flip to see what she said.

GTFOHWTBS! NBA Bans Warriors Investor And Privileged Ph**kboi Mark Stevens From All Future Games For Pushing Kyle Lowry

Source: Steve Russell / Getty Warriors Investor Banned From All NBA Games For Pushing Kyle Lowry Last night there was an incident during game 3 of the NBA Finals where Warriors investor Mark Stevens pushed Kyle Lowry after the Raptors baller had crashed into the stands. A “fan” making physical contact with a player like that can NOT be permitted and several NBA players including LeBron James spoke out on the issue to put some pressure on the NBA to react appropriately: View this post on Instagram There’s absolutely no place in our BEAUTIFUL game for that AT ALL. There’s so many issues here. When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines. But he himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for. He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that Something needs to be done ASAP! A swift action for his actions. Just think to yourself, what if @kyle_lowry7 would have reacted and put his hands back on him. You guys would be going CRAZY!! Calling for him to damn near be put in jail let alone being suspended for the rest of the Finals all because he was protected himself. I’ve been quite throughout the whole NBA playoffs watching every game (haven’t missed one) but after I saw what I saw last night, took time to let it manifest into my thinking I couldn’t and wouldn’t be quiet on this! #ProtectThePlayers #PrivilegeAintWelcomeHere A post shared by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Jun 6, 2019 at 9:42am PDT The NBA didn’t waste time… Now the league has spoken. Permanent ban for GS minority owner Mark Stevens until investigation complete. @KPRC2 pic.twitter.com/5IkdNVVAeu — Adam Wexler (@KPRC2AdamW) June 6, 2019 …but LeBron still isn’t impressed. Ok cool but still ain’t enough! They did exactly what they had to do. Get in front of it before anyone else and plus there’s only 4 games left(2 max in GS). — LeBron James (@KingJames) June 6, 2019 We hope the league holds true to their declaration and keeps this soup cookie from NBA arenas for the rest of his life.
