Nelly Seeking Dismissal of Lawsuit Claiming Sexual Assault

Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Nelly wants the case thrown out. The St. Louis rapper is hoping a judge dismisses a lawsuit brought against him by a British woman who claimed he raped her in England. Report the Associated Press : The federal lawsuit was filed in November in St. Louis, the rapper’s hometown. The woman accuses Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr., of assaulting her in a dressing room at the concert venue in Essex in December 2017. Nelly hasn’t been criminally charged and has denied the allegations. The woman is identified only as Jane Doe in the lawsuit. Nelly’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum, filed a response to the lawsuit Thursday, arguing that the woman shouldn’t be allowed to remain anonymous and “avoid public scrutiny.” The woman alleges that she paid to have her photo taken with the 44-year-old rapper after the concert before he took her to a separate room and sexually assaulted her. The woman’s attorney, Karen Koehler, said the woman reported the incident to police more than a year ago and she believes the investigation is ongoing. Essex police didn’t immediately respond to an after-hours phone message from The Associated Press seeking information Friday. If this sounds familiar, Nelly settled a similar lawsuit  (the accuser claims there was a settlement, the rapper lawyers say it was dismissed) in September 2018 from a woman who claimed he raped her on his tour bus. Nelly might not want to make this a habit or a cancellation is on deck. — Photo: Getty

Malin Andersson Mourns Loss of 4-Week Old Daughter

Malin Andersson has opened up about the most pain a parent can possibly feel: The death of her child. The former Love Island star opened up about this awful tragedy on Wednesday morning, sharing multiple photos of her daughter Consy and sharing the news that she had passed away. At just four weeks old. “Completely in love with you.. and my Mum just wanted you to be with her,” wrote Andersson as a caption to the following image, adding: “Your time wasn’t ready yet. Mummy loves you. I stayed with you each day.. you opened your eyes one last time for me and I saw those beautiful big brown eyes. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t do anymore.” “Go be with grandma Consy. My angel. Rest in peace CONSY GLORIA EMMA ANDERSSON-KEMP 23/12/18-22/01/19.” Malin gave birth seven weeks before her due date. Along with boyfriend Tom Kemp, the former reality star has kept Instagram followers apprised of the little one’s status ever since that fateful occasion. Wrote Andersson on January 1, announcing Consy’s birth and mentioning her health issue for the first time: She is so beautiful, we are totally in love with her and feel so blessed that she is here but unfortunately due to complications, she is currently being cared for at Great Ormond Street. We have received a number of messages over the past week and there has been a lot of speculation and so we wanted to share our news with you so you could hear from us first hand. We are so thankful for the amazing care she is receiving here and promise to update you on her progress but for the time being we hope you can all respect our privacy. We can’t wait to share her with you all soon. Then, on January 8, Andersson wrote: “All your prayers, messages, healing… it means the world to us. Baby Consy is still in intensive care, and fighting each day. “This has been the most difficult time I have ever gone through. I just want to hold her.. “It’s different to my mum last year. My mum was ready to go… my little girl isn’t. She has given me the ultimate purpose in my life and I’m not prepared to let her go.” Love Island is a British dating show on which participants look for love in Majorca. In her final post before confirming her daughter’s passing, Andersson shared the photo above and this caption down below: “She loves Unicorns. And she also loves the prayers you’re sending her way.” We cannot imagine what she and Kemp are going through right now. We will keep them in our thoughts.

I thought that I was gonna sing this song, I was gonna do a video, I was gonna look beautiful, and he was gonna be beating down my door to marry me. No, y’all think I’m playing. I was so serious.” In the song, Teedra says: Don’t know if you got a girl Don’t mean to disrespect but Thoughts of you rule my world I even dream of you, I swear Visions of you and I See you all around my way Been meaning to say “Hi” but I’m just way too shy I gotta make you see this is More than just a silly crush Let’s also mention this semi-throwback video of Teedra throwing massive shade at Kelis.

Meghan Markle: Distressed Over Bullying By Online Trolls

Officially , Meghan Markle deleted her Instagram when her relationship with Prince Harry started to get serious. Smart move, as exchanging social media for a royal title is objectively a pretty sweet deal, especially as the internet seems to become more of a cesspool of narcissism and bigotry every day. But Meghan went from a relatively unknown actress to one of the most famous women on the planet overnight, so she must be curious as to what the trolls and sycophants of the world wide web have to say about her. Thus, it’s easy to believe the rumors of Meghan’s secret Instagram account . And it’s also easy to believe the hate directed at her online by anonymous dingbats quickly became too much for the Duchess to handle. “With so much drama surrounding her, Meghan really wants to know what everyone actually thinks of her,” an insider tells Radar Online of Meghan’s lurker account. In the years prior to her relationship with Harry, Meghan was actually quite active on the ‘Gram, and her account was closely linked to her Goop-esque lifestyle site, The Tig. So Meg is no stranger to what nasty places comments sections can be. The source reveals that for now at least, Meghan has parted ways with social media. The reason? It seems she was simply appalled by the horrendous things people were saying about her online. “It really got to her and, in the end, she had to shut down that account just before Christmas, too, to protect her mental health,” says the insider . “She felt very isolated and alone.” Now Meghan has been called a “fat lady” to her face while pregnant, and she’s been suffering the slings and arrows of the notorious British tabloid press for two years now. She’s no thin-skinned wimp, is what we’re saying. So the stuff Meghan read about herself that caused her to shut down her account must have been pretty awful. Apparently, some of it was so bad that it led Meghan to fear for her safety. “She doesn’t feel safe enough to go out on her own without protection,” says the source. “There are certain things she’s extremely paranoid about, such as being physically attacked.” Dammit, internet. This is why we can’t have nice things. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

We Thought These Celebrities Were American As Apple Pie—But We Thought Wrong

Christian Bale won a Golden Globe for his role in Vice at this year’s award ceremony and thanked satan in his speech—still, what most people are shocked about is his foreign accent. Were you also today-years-old when you realized The Dark Knight actor is British? The internet’s genuine shock made us realize there’ve been a ton of other celebrities we—for quite some time— presumed to be American. Most recently, rising star Ella Mai , for example. Ella Mai rose to stardom after her hit song “Boo’d Up” won hearts all over our country last year. She sings with an American accent on the track, so when she started doing press, people were surprised to learn the young superstar-in-the-making is actually a south London native. i was expecting ella mai to have an american accent, and then she spoke and she was british, and i choked — andrew (@LIFEGUARDARIEL) December 30, 2018 Hit the flip for other celebs we definitely thought were American as apple pie…the last on the list will really surprise you.

Rihanna Erotica of the Day

My favorite Rihanna story, which is probably the only Rihanna story I’ve got, is that I met a dude from Barbados a bunch of years ago, right when the country was hating on her because the government had just given her a bunch of Crown land for her contribution to the marketing of the island…back when she was at the peak of her celebrity, when celebrity mattered and was more than just running a MEME account….and bitch would snob out the locals who she knew her entire life…lik she would intentionally be a diva cunt cuz she knew she was better than them…treating them like the hired help she probably was when she was growing up….anyway…you get what I am saying, diva from small island, goes back to small island after becoming rich and famous and is a cunt to the locals…typical story you’d expect…… Dude made it very clear to me that she was poor as shit when she was growing up, like real life shantytown shit, and that when she was 14 she become a sex worker, where she found the British dude who brought her to America and sold her off to Jay Z….because if you’ve hear Rihanna sing, you’ll know she’s not nearly talented enough to end up being imported into America and cultivated into a popstar…. There’s the whole immigration thing, the navigating importing sluts from a small island, getting her a place to live…a lot went into her career…all while there are perfectly equally if not more talented people in Brooklyn next to Jay Z’s fucking investment properties….there is no logical reason why Rihanna happened, there was no youtube channel or viral video at the time…it was straight up teen girl abducted and brought to America….and for that I will always find her compelling….what do you want from me, I like whores. Here are her tits on New Years JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Rihanna Erotica of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Meghan Markle: ANOTHER Royal Staffer Quits Amidst Growing Controversy

Aside from its current residents, no one knows exactly what’s going on inside Kensington Palace. But we think it’s safe to say these are wild times behind the palace walls. For one thing, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t be laying their heads at Kensington for much longer. The couple will be relocating to the awesomely named Frogmore Cottage , where they’ll presumably enjoy high tea with a dapper toad who’s always consulting his pocket watch. Whimsical fantasies aside, the possible reasons for Meghan and Harry’s move have fueled constant speculation. Many have concluded that the long-rumored Meghan vs. Kate Middleton feud has reached a fever pitch, and it was decided that the best solution is simply to separate the two combatants. It sounds like typical tabloid fodder, but the situation has become so dire that Kensington Palace actually released a statement about the supposed feud. And apparently, it’s not just Kate that Meg is locking horns with these days. Recent weeks have seen numerous reports of royal staffers quitting because of Meghan and her alleged diva-like demands. Again, it sounded like the sort of thing the British tabloid press loves to fabricate out of whole cloth, but now the evidence is piling up. Last week, Meghan’s assistant, Melissa Toubati, unexpectedly quit her job. Sources close to the situation say Toubati felt she had been “terrorized” by Meghan throughout her brief tenure. Now, another royal staffer is departing her post, and once again, Meghan is being blamed. The Daily Mail is reporting today that Meghan and Harry’s interim private secretary, Samantha “The Panther” Cohen, has declared that she will not seek permanent employment with the couple and will instead resign after Meghan gives birth. As her hilarious nickname indicates, Cohen is no shrinking violet. The Panther is a 50-year-old Australian who was selected due to her tireless work ethic and tough-as-nails attitude. “Sam will be a huge loss,” a source close to Meghan told the Mail . “Going forward, Meghan might need someone cut from a slightly different cloth to traditional courtiers, who is not a career civil servant or royal insider.” Yes, Cohen was chosen for her reputation as a badass, and even she wasn’t badass enough for Meg. So who what sort of assistant is the Duchess of Sussex looking for now? Well, it seems she has some very specific requirements in mind. “Meghan needs someone with reserves of energy and patience to help her define her future role,” the source says. Feel free to gank “I need someone with reserves of energy and patience to help me define my future role” for your Tinder profile. Of course, if you don’t have a royal title in front of your name, you might not be able to pull it off. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

Lauryn Hill Finally Showed Up On Time For Her Concert, Sort Of

Source: STERLING HEIGHTS, MI – SEPTEMBER 08: Ms. Lauryn Hill performs in support of the Powernomics Tour at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre on September 8, 2017 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. (Photo by Scott Legato/Getty Images) Uploaded By Godspeed It looks like there is some hope for Lauryn Hill . She reportedly was in a much better place for a recent concert. According to  Page Six  the Fugees songstress pleased fans during a stop of her  Miseducation of Lauryn Hill  20th-anniversary tour. Hill apparently was only fashionably late to her London concert at the O2 Arena on Monday. Reporter for British periodical  The Independent   Roison Connor wrote “‘She’s on time!’ A ripple of excitement has just gone through the O2 Arena. The lights have dimmed, and Lauryn Hill is as about as ‘on time’ as she’ll ever be – just 20 minutes late.” Apart from being somewhat punctual her rendition of her classic album was well received by ticket goers. Connor penned that “the former Fugees member’s free-jazz approach to the live set is often scattershot, but it makes the set feel loose and relaxed rather than messy.” The improved showing came to her fans and the public alike as a pleasant surprise. Over the last five or so years Hill has built a reputation for starting her sets very late , upwards to almost two hours behind schedule. Additionally the rumor is that since she was sued by the album’s ghost producers and lost in 2001 she is not allowed to perform original songs. Thus Ms. Hill has been playing renditions that ticket goers claimed sound nothing like the versions they grew up to. She has about 20 shows left in the tour, let’s see if she can keep it together.

Meghan Markle: FORCING the Royal Family to Deny Diva Rumors?

Reports in various tabloids have Meghan Markle feuding with Prince William , Duchess Kate, and the Queen herself. Kensington Palace has been shooting down these rumors left and right. But a new report says that it’s been at Meghan’s insistence, and that she wants to bring in a Hollywood publicist. RadarOnline   reports that Meghan is so tired of being portrayed as a demanding beast in the media that she wants to do damage control. “Meghan wants to hire a Hollywood publicist,” an insider claims. “She’s losing trust in her advisors,” the source says. The insider continues: and feels they are hanging her out to dry.” Yikes. Further breaks with tradition may not go over well — or have the effect that she reportedly wants. The rumors about Meghan Markle’s diva demands are constant. Some claim that she’s driving dedicated staffers to quit their jobs. Then there’s a recent story in which she allegedly made Kate Middleton break down into tears. She’s also said to have snapped at the other family’s staffers. But Kensington Palace, which rarely addresses these tabloid rumors unprompted, did address these incidents. “This never happened,” the Palace reported. According to the inside source that spoke to RadarOnline, however, the palace’s denial is just further evidence of Meghan’s obsession with publicity. “Meghan demanded that the palace comment and defend her,” the insider claims. “They don’t usually respond,” the source notes. The insider continues: “but she was freaking out, saying if they don’t respond she will.” So she’s allegedly using threats to handle things herself to change how the entire royal household operates. We’re also meant to believe that she is frustrated that Prince Harry won’t go on television to shoot down these rumors. “Harry is lovestruck,” the insider affirms. “But,” the source claims. “You can tell even he is getting exasperated. The insider says that Harry is on his last nerve “with the way she’s steamrolled over his life.” One would think that, if he didn’t like her impact on his life, he would not have married her. It’s alarming to hear of someone trodding all over their spouse’s family and turning an organization on its head. But is it true? We have to remember that there is no confirmation that any of this has taken place. In fact, nothing that we know for sure about Meghan makes this seem likely at all. All of this does sound like the behavior that we might expect from some people, however. Meghan’s evil half-sister Samantha Grant and her blundering father, Thomas Markle, sound like the sorts of people who would freak out about every tabloid story. We suspect that Kensington Palace and Meghan Markle are both of one mind about the rumors that come up about her. They’re ridiculous, but they don’t warrant anything more than a simple official denial, if that. Why? Because of course some people dislike Meghan. Maybe they feel that Harry’s wife should be British, or white. Others may not-so-secretly resent her because they themselves had harbored a crush on Prince Harry. So there are people who are eager to believe anything negative about her. And then there are people who are just plain bored, and want to hear something interesting about the Royal Family. Those folks should just strap in and wait for Meghan’s due date. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!
