Damm, Slim Charles: ‘The Wire’ Star Anwan Glover Popped On Firearm Charges In D.C., Says Arrest Is Bull$#it

Source: Charles Norfleet/Getty Images) / Getty ‘The Wire’ Actor Anwan Glover Arrested For Gun Possession One of the fan favorites ‘ The Wire ‘ has always been the understated “Slim Charles”, sadly, Anwan Glover’s real life is mirroring his fiction one a bit too much. According to TMZ , Glover was arrested in Washington, D.C. on firearms charges back on June 26. Police pulled the actor/singer over and discovered a pistol upon searching his vehicle and hit him with a misdemeanor. Let the cops tell it, they were told be on the lookout for a white jeep driven by a man who was allegedly waving a gun out of the window. Glover’s car just happened to match that description after he was said to have changed lanes without a signal. Although Anwan told the pigs that he didn’t have a gun and denying their request to search the car, they did it anyway. The Anwan’s lawyer says his jeep doesn’t even match the description of the car the bacon boys were told to look for. Sounds like BS to us.

#MeToo: Neisha Neshae Alleges Music Producer Detail Touched Her Inappropriately During Song Session

Source: @NeishaNeshae / Araya Diaz / Getty Get this creep out of here! Neisha Neshae Recounts Sexual Misconduct Involving Noel “Detail” Fisher Another singer is coming forward with claims that Music Producer Noel Fisher BKA Detail is an alleged sexual predator. Previously singers Jesse Reyes, Bebe Rexha and more accused Detail (who produced ‘Drunk In Love’, ‘We Dem Boyz’ etc.) of sexual misconduct, rape, and sexual abuse. Neisha Neshae shared a lengthy excerpt on Instagram, detailing how the slick producer allegedly tried to groom her during a studio session. Neisha says he came into the booth where she was working and started touching all over her body, insisting she continued to sing. A previous victim of sexual abuse, Neisha says she froze, eventually leaving without her music and never to be contacted by the producer with her songs again. I wasn’t going to ever do this … buttt I gotta get it off my chest , y’all remember when I went to work with detail in LA. (Mind you my team of 4 men were there with me) I was there for 12 hours, I recorded 9 records he wrote. I have not seen or heard not one of those songs. Not only that, he DID come into the booth while I was WORKING, touching on me & trying to convince me to keep working amidst that. Not only had I felt undervalued he would ever try me but there were 4 people with me that would’ve body bagged this dude over this sh*t. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know what to say… having experienced being molested as a child I was frozen & hurt… and I was even more sick I never got my songs.. probably because I didn’t throw my p*ssy. Which I ain’t never had to do to get where I am… so – If you’re in the industry you KNOW it’s a game where people will try you ! If that’s something you’re into to get where you’re going WHATEVER , but it’s not my cup of tea… & Keep people around you who protect you and care for your well being because I honestly don’t know what would’ve happened if I would’ve been alone. I love y’all See Neisha’s  Instagram post blasting Detail HERE . I’ve seen and been through a lot of shit, & It has broken me down before, BUT ILL NEVER FOLD. — R&B Trap (@NeishaNeshae) July 8, 2019 Neisha Neshae is a talented singer-songwriter and is determined to win, despite the trauma. On her newest single “Love Life” she touches on the ups and downs of her career, including facing obstacles in the music industry. “I was lost, now I’m trynna find my way back. I done made mistakes that I wish I could take back. Everybody loves someone they wish they could bring back. Facing up my days, running to that money ASAP. I’m just trynna make it a place where I can love life. Yeah.” Back in December, Detail was hit with a lawsuit from one of his alleged sexual assault victims Kristina Buch . Buch accuses Detail of sexually and mentally abusing her over a two-year period, also claiming the beat maker used his influence to keep her in line throughout their professional relationship. What do YOU think can be done to get this man to STOP doing this to other women?

Must Be Nice: Jeff & MacKenzie Bezos’ Divorce Has Officially Been Finalized With A $38 Billion Settlement

Source: Regina Wagner/Future Image/WENN.com / WENN The Divorce Between Jeff And MacKenzie Bezos Is Official Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is officially divorced from his wife of more than 25 years, MacKenzie, after a Washington State judge signed off on the divorce. According to reports from Bloomberg , the arrangement leaves MacKenzie with 19.7 million shares of Amazon.com, valued at more than $38 billion. Even after parting with billions of dollars, Jeff will still remain the world’s richest person, while the divorce settlement makes his now ex-wife the third-wealthiest female billionaire in the world. These two got married in 1993, long before Amazon’s creation, and have four children together. Their marriage publicly collapsed after news broke back in January that Jeff had been allegedly cheating on his wife with former television anchor Lauren Sanchez. The story exploded into the public eye after racy text messages between the two were published by multiple media outlets. Following the media storm, Bezos published an open letter on Medium accusing American Media, the parent company of the National Enquirer, of trying to blackmail him–but, of course, that didn’t undo what damage had already been done. It’s safe to say both parties will do juuuust fine following the divorce, at least money-wise. View this post on Instagram Kirk or Picard?

Kamala Harris Plans On Investing $100 Billion Into Black Homeownership Programs & Initiatives

Source: Ted Soqui / Getty Kamala Harris Has A Plan To Invest In Black Homeownership According to CNN , California Sen. Kamala Harris unveiled a $100 billion plan to invest in black homeownership. Harris would reportedly invest $100 billion of federal money into housing assistance for black families as part of an effort to close the racial wealth gap in the United States. Harris tweeted: “A typical black family has just $10 of wealth for every $100 held by a white family,” she said. “So we must right that wrong and, after generations of discrimination, give black families a real shot at homeownership — historically one of the most powerful drivers of wealth in our country.” Harris’ housing program would come in the form of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants limited to families with incomes up to $100,000, or $125,000 in high-cost areas. Harris also pledged to work to expand HUD’s fair housing program, strengthen anti-discrimination lending laws and amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to require that credit scores include rent, phone and utility payments.

Seriously?! Wisconsin Man Sentenced To 150 Days In Jail For Clogging 30 Toilets

Source: Martin Ruegner / Getty Man Gets Jail Time For Clogging Toilets Around Wisconsin People are really going out of their way to find new ways to be arrested these days, and apparently, you can go to jail for clogging a bunch of toilets. 35-year-old Wisconsin man Patrick Beeman has been sentenced to a few months in jail because of his habit of clogging toilets around the state. During the time period of April 2017 to March 2018, Beeman regularly clogged toilets wherever he went using plastic water bottles. The Sheboygan man explained that he has a natural instinct to clog every toilet he encounters, telling police about his problem and hoping they would let him off easy. But after it was revealed that he had clogged over thirty toilets, the authorities felt they needed to take action and in turn, they’re locking him up for 150 days. Back when the Sheboygan Police Department was still trying to locate Beeman to take action, they issued a statement about his strange habit. “Why do this? I do not know but if you help us find the person I will tell you. This is very strange…and gross, but that is the reality of life,” said the Police Department. Once he heard that police were investigating the matter, Beeman stopped intentionally clogging toilets–but that wasn’t enough to keep him safe. He was charged with thirteen counts of criminal damage to property and because of that, the judge went extra hard on him. The recommended sentence was thirty days in jail but Judge Kent Hoffmann decided to hand down thirty days for each count. In addition to the 150 days, Beeman will have to pay $5,500 in restitution and cannot be found in possession of alcohol for three years. He also has to perform 100 hours of community service.
