Source: Mikhail Tereshchenko / Getty Dunkin’ Donuts Worker Made Up A Fake Employee To Collect Their Paychecks A Dunkin’ Donuts manager in Florida was arrested for allegedly hiring an employee that didn’t exist and then pocketing all of the checks that fake worker received, according to reports from WFLA . 29-year-old Markia Nelson, who works at the franchise’s Largo location, hired the fake employee on May 15. From May 16 up until this past Saturday in July, Nelson was keeping up the image that the employee was showing up for work every day — clocking in and out for them and logging a total of 235 hours, according to an arrest report obtained by the outlet. The “employee” earned $8.65 an hour and brought in total of $1,610.84 over the past couple of months. Nelson direct deposited all of the funds into her account, admitting that she used the extra money for her “life expenses.” The company that owns the franchise location was tipped off to the scam and ended up launchinf its own investigation, according to reports from FOX 13 . Once word of the scam reached the Pinellas Park Police Department, it was pretty much an open-and-shut case. Nelson ended up being arrested on Monday. “The employee never actually showed up to do any work, and when they researched the employee’s clock-in and clock-out times, they saw that it was her inputting it each time,” Pinellas Park police Sgt. Lonnie Lancto told the outlet. Nelson has so far only been charged with grand theft, but could face other charges, including identity theft. “She had the information [for the phony worker] who she said … was a friend of hers, so the information for the person was an actual person,” the sergeant told the outlet.

Most recently, it’s being reported that the actor is going to join the cast of Space Jam 2 . According to reports from Deadline , Don Cheadle is going to be apart of LeBron James’ sequel to the famous NBA and Looney Tunes crossover. As of now, though, what his actual role will be in the long-anticipated reboot is not known. As for who won’t be in the movie, we learned recently that the one-and-only Stephen A Smith is on the list–and of course, since we’re talking about Stephen A Smith here, he made his stance on not being apart of the film very well known by tweeting out his thoughts. No folks. I was not alluding to Space Jam 2 this morning on @FirstTake . There’s no way anyone in charge would allow @KingJames and I to be on the set together. Too much tension. That would be as bad as us on-camera together talking Ball. Wouldn’t want to make anyone nervous — Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) June 26, 2019 Before news of his involvement in the Space Jam sequel, Don Cheadle made headlines earlier this year when he went on Saturday Night Live with a Soviet hockey jersey that had Donald Trump’s name on the back. Don Cheadle wore a Soviet Union hockey jersey with “Trump” and “45” on the back at the end of SNL after hosting.

Yet Rih has been busy doing everything but making music. She’s out here being a near-billionaire selling her makeup and lingerie and whatever else she wants while maybe wanting to get married to her own billionaire boo. She’s living her best life. That hasn’t stopped us from pestering her over her album every damn day. Rih has seen your pleas and she has answered with…making fun of all of us. Whoops.

If you’ve been living under a rock, you might not have noticed that Iyanla’s an absolute social media sensation. Her memes and GIFs dominate Twitter and Instagram and provide the perfect reactions to everyday situations. Some clear frontrunners of the Iyanla Vanzant social repertoire are that infamous “Not On My Watch” moment where she laid down the law to the ladies of “Six Brown Chicks” (5:20) and that moment where she made Hazel E read her raunchy lyrics to prominent black female figures spawning social media hysteria. Iyanla has Hazel-E read her lyrics to photos of trailblazing black women.

According to Auntie Iyanla however, she misses a LOT of the memes because she’s barely active on social media. So inactive in fact, that she doesn’t really know the proper terms (she called tweeting “twit”) and was previously befuddled by the concept of DMs. “I don’t do social media, they taught me how to Twit–TWEET, TWEET!” Iyanla told BOSSIP. “So I tweet during the show so I do that. So if something is on my mind I know how to do it. I write my Facebook stuff but someone else posts it for me. I know how to do Instagram, I like Instagram. I like that. I used to do the word of the day and I would find a video—but I can’t find nothing, I can’t look for nothing. People say all the time they DMed me—what does that mean?! There were DMS in there that were three years old.” Iyanla who added that Chance The Rapper told her she has “street cred” also addressed that now viral video of her swinging from a sign at ESSENCE Fest while waiting for her ride. The video that was filmed over the weekend caused speculation that Auntie was having a good IMBIBING time on Bourbon, but that’s apparently not true.

According to the AJC , an armored truck door swung open while haulin’ a$$ down the highway near Ashford-Dunwoody Road yesterday evening and cash went flying everywhere! “I saw a bunch of paper floating around in the road and everybody pulling over on the shoulder, and as I got closer I noticed it was all just cash,” the driver reported. A viral video of cash ruling everything around people circulated social media almost immediately. Oh y’all thought I was lyin? Yes, there was money flying all over I-285!!! #atlanta pic.twitter.com/aAL6e8huGa — Kites & Flights… (@Caramelbelle) July 10, 2019 Based on that video, police are trying to identify the license plates of anyone seen committing “theft of lost or mislaid property” which could be as many as 50 people. “The law is the law,” Sgt. Robert Parsons said. “You need to turn in the property. It doesn’t belong to you. Reality needs to kick in, and you need to realize this money belongs to someone.” There hasn’t been an official count yet, but the trucks drivers estimate that they lost around $175,000. Police say they only recovered about, wait for it…$200.
