Now, a former business partner is excusing the Ball family patriarch of embezzling funds from the family’s various business holdings. The Blast shares in a new report that Ball’s former business associate, Alan Foster, filed suit and alleged that the father of Lonzo, LiMelo, and LiAngelo Ball has been pilfering funds from the business to fund his own personal needs. Foster was a partner in the Big Baller Brand athletic brand, and the Ball Sports Group, a sports and entertainment company. From The Blast : According to Foster, “In early 2016, in furtherance of LaVar’s intense desire to share in, or rise above, the glory and spotlight of his sons, LaVar approached Alan and asked for his business guidance on how to monopolize and gain fortune and fame from the names and likenesses of his three sons. In response, Alan suggested that the two men brand the “Ball” family name in order to create basketball and entertainment-related businesses. LaVar loved Alan’s idea and wanted to make sure that he was the biggest star in the family, notwithstanding the fact that he was broke, had no savings, poor credit and zero business acumen.” “LaVar is a liar who fraudulently utilized BBB and BSG to fund his personal lifestyle,” the docs state. Lonzo Ball filed a suit against Foster, alleging that it was him that took money away from the Ball business for his own personal gains. — Photo: WENN

Brendan Dassey wrote a handwritten note to Wisconsin’s Governor Tony Evers asking to be pardoned or commutated from his life prison sentence. As previously reported Dassey was 16 years old when he confessed to the 2005 rape and murder of photographer Teresa Halbach alongside his uncle Steven Avery. The then-teenager also said he helped burn her body in a bonfire. NBC News reports that Dassey recently told Gov. Evers that he’s innocent and deserves to be released. “I am writing to ask for a pardon because I am innocent and want to go home,” Dassey said in a handwritten note to Evers that accompanied his application. Dassey congratulated Evers, a Democrat who took office in January, on becoming governor. Dassey also listed things he enjoys including Pokemon and hamburgers and drew a pair of hearts with the word “hugs” in one and “love” in the other. Here is Brendan Dassey’s handwritten note to @GovEvers asking to be pardoned back in April. He signs it ‘love the complete and innocent Brendan Dassey’. I reached out to @GovEvers for comment, nothing yet. pic.twitter.com/eWGQGRPsU3 — Brittany Schmidt (@BritSchmidtNews) October 2, 2019 The Governor did recently restart the state’s public pardon board but NBC reports that “to be considered the applicants must have completed their prison sentences” or they will be rejected. A spokeswoman for the governor also added that the Governor is not considering a pardon “at this time” but Dassey’s attorney Laura Nirider is hoping for an exception. This all comes amid allegations that the TRUE killer of Teresa Halbach has come forward. Newsweek reports that an inmate who remains anonymous told filmmakers of upcoming documentary series “Convicting a Murderer” that he was responsible for the infamous death. Shawn Rech, director of Convicting a Murderer, told Newsweek his crew were given the confession while filming the documentary series. “We haven’t confirmed the legitimacy of the confession, but seeing as it was given by a notable convicted murderer from Wisconsin, we feel responsible to deliver any and all possible evidence to law enforcement and legal teams,” he told Newsweek. “Having been in production for 20 months, we’ve uncovered an unfathomable amount of information and evidence that is leading us to the truth. Our investigation does not end here.” Do YOU think that Brendan Dassey should be released???

Source: Bread Winners Association / BWA Kevin Gates Banned From All Louisiana Prisons Over Viral Photo Kevin Gates has been staying low-key while working ever since he was released from prison over a year ago. The rapper has been busy touring and recording, even dropping a new album just last week. So when reports surfaced that the Department of Public Safety and Corrections launched an internal investigation into some of his activities, everyone was left puzzled. Soon after, the reason why was revealed to be over a viral photo he posted to his very own Instagram. The photo in question was taken back in July during a visit to see his father at Elayn Hunt in Louisiana. The picture even had the location tagged, but that still wasn’t the issue. The problem is that one picture out of the series of photos featured Gates sitting with inmates–including incarcerated rapper C-Murder –flashing a handful of crisp hundred dollar bills to cover his face. View this post on Instagram #KevinGates has reportedly been banned from all #Louisiana prisons after a photo showed him visiting a facility with over $2,000. A post shared by Instagram HipHop News (@hotnewshiphop24) on Oct 2, 2019 at 4:30pm PDT It is against regulation to carry more than $300 into a prison. If you’re wondering why just imagine an inmate behind bars with thousands of dollars and what people would do to take that money. As of now, there’s no word on whether or not Gates actually gave any of that money away, but that doesn’t matter, according to the state corrections department. Not only was the rapper held accountable, however, so were the employees according to The Advocate . A DOC report dated July 24, 2019, found that Deputy Warden Perry Stagg and Major Jason Linzy, both of whom oversaw Gates’ visit, deviated from standard institutional policies, resulting in multiple rule violations. The report says Stagg met Gates when he arrived at the facility and Linzy supervised the visit when the pictures were taken.In addition to bypassing body scanners, Gates was allowed to drive his car through the front gates without being searched, investigators found. And while Stagg was escorting him, Gates avoided the visiting office and never had to sign the visitor’s log acknowledging he understood facility rules. To make matters even more serious, the internal investigation found no verifiable family member of his to be in custody of the facility. Essentially, Gates was allowed access straight from his house into the prison with no record, no check-in, or any procedure followed . Nor was his previous criminal history disclosed. Because of this incident, one officer was removed and demoted and another received a written discipline. As for Gates, he’s not allowed inside a Louisiana jail ever again . Even if he gets arrested, it’s more than likely that he would serve time elsewhere as a result.

Hannah Gosselin’s eldest, twins Mady and Cara, have left for college and are breathing free air for the first times in their lives. While Kate tries to elicit sympathy by mourning Hannah’s absence from family trips, she has another bone to pick. Kate says that the world has been so unfair to her family. Girl, go look in a mirror. Kate Gosselin took to Instagram to share a photo of her eldest daughters. “I love these kids fiercely,” Kate writes, referring specifically to Mady and Cara. “And,” she adds. “I don’t apologize for my tears.” “Times have been so tough,” Kate complains. “And,” she notes. “So needlessly unfair for them.” Awwww, they’re all grown up! Well, you know, they’re adults. “Grown up” seems to start around 30 and it is not as fun as it sounds. “Despite it all,” Kate continues. “They’ve turned out to be such wonderful amazing human beings.” “I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for each of them,” she expresses. Kate looks forward to seeing their progress “once they get away from those who have tried to destroy them versus protect them!” Naturally, she also plugs her show, Kate Plus 8 . Back in May, Mady opened up about how much she and Cara are looking forward to college. “College feels like a place to blend in,” Mady expressed. She continued: “and I feel like we haven’t really had much of a chance to really blend in.” “And,” she stated. “I want to be just like somebody.” You know that you’ve had quite the childhood when your firmest wish for your university experience is anonymity . “I don’t want to know everybody’s name,” Mady continued. She added: “and I don’t want to know everybody’s business.” “And I don’t want everyone to know my name and my business,” Mady emphasized. She’s not quite saying that she doesn’t want to make any friends. It sounds more like she wants to blend into the crowd. “I feel like big college is the way we want to go,” she concluded. “She was not able to come and that’s sad,” Kate said in a recent clip to explain why Hannah was not joining a “family” trip. Kate accused: “That’s the second trip here actually for us that she hasn’t been with us.” “It was sad for us because you know, they’re getting older and they’re making different choices and they’re doing different things,” she said. Kate continued: “And she opted to stay back with her dad, which again, you know, her choice.” “It’s not optimal for mom,” she admitted. “But it’s something that I support and you know, we just adjust and move on.” So what does Kate mean when she says that her two eldest daughters have faced so much unfairness? Does she mean that it’s unfair to be thrust into reality stardom as a child because your parents are thirsty for fame? Does she mean that no child deserves to grow up in an abusive household ? Or does Kate mean that two children would have been enough, and she robbed her eldest twins of any hope of a normal life by having six more? All of these are great point. But because Kate is the culprit in each case, we strongly doubt that this is her meaning. We wish Mady and Cara the very best at their (undisclosed) universities! We’re sure that they have a long road to recovering from having Kate as a mom. View Slideshow: Jon Gosselin: TLC Was Gonna Pay Me $1 Million to Stay Married to Kate!

King has since apologized to Brooks after threatening legal action against her. In the time following Brooks has since moved on, but still fights to maintain the same reverence for her passions which include organizing, activism and navigating the world as a queer Black woman.
