B’More Rapper ‘Chad Focus’ Facing 22 Years For Stealing $4.1 Million

View original post here:

Source: Brian Stukes / Getty A federal grand jury has indicted Baltimore rapper “Chad Focus” of Randallstown on conspiracy, wire fraud, and identity theft charges for using his employers credit card to make over $4.1 million in unauthorized purchases. According to the indictment, 31-year-old Chad Arrington was working as Search Engine Optimization Specialist from around 2011 to August 2018. Arrington and four co-conspirators allegedly used the credit card for fraudulent purchases, for their own benefit and to promote the Chad Focus brand. The card was used to buy studio kits, instruments, and music technology, to create his Chad Focus alter ego and produce a number of hip-hop songs through his own company, Focus Music Entertainment LLC. $250,000 in other purchases were made for electric bikes, hover boards, and scooters. He also reportedly made purchases from online streaming platforms to increase the chances of his songs being played by creating more “likes”, “followers,” “tags,” and “views” on social media. Additionally, Arrington fraudulently invested in services that promoted his mixtape videos, music, and to pay for billboards to display his website and image, representing Chad Focus and Music Entertainment nationwide. If convicted, he faces up to 22 years in prison.

Jenelle Evans Fights Mom After Court: Just How Delusional is She?!

Do you ever just check in on the latest comings and goings of Jenelle and just get totally exhausted? If not, well … get ready to experience that phenomenon. Because yeah, sure, things have been pretty intense in her world lately, but even by those standards, what happened yesterday was just utterly insane. We've got Jenelle fighting with Barbara, David fighting with Nathan, accusations of child abuse and hard drug use, talk of restraining orders … And a great big delusional interview from Jenelle to top it all off. If all of this sounds like something you'd be interested in — and trust us, it really is — then settle in and we'll get going. 1. Some Background Info To understand all that happened yesterday, you need to know a couple of things, and one of them is that Jenelle has a very, VERY troubled history with her mother, Barbara. 2. The History Jenelle and Barbara’s problems go all the way back to when she was a child — she’s said that she never felt like her mother offered her the love and care she needed, and their relationship only got worse after Jenelle signed over custody of her youngest son, Jace, when he was an infant. 3. So Many Troubles Barbara has taken good care of Jace, and she does have full, permanent custody of him now, but there were several years there where we saw Jenelle scream and cry and pretty much despise her mom for not just handing the kid back over, even though she was seriously troubled for a long time — she was getting arrested all the time, in and out of abusive relationships, and dealing with drug problems. 4. Ouch Since there was so much animosity over Barbara having custody of Jace, it must really be difficult for Jenelle to see her get custody of Ensley, too. 5. Of Course That’s the other thing you need to know — that Barbara currently has custody of Ensley after CPS removed all the kids from Jenelle’s home following David’s brutal killing of the family’s French bulldog, Nugget. 6. Let’s Go So that’s where we are now: Jenelle and David don’t have custody of any of their kids, they’ve been having to go to court weekly to keep up with everything and have their supervised visits, and their golden child, Ensley, is with one of their worst enemies at the moment, Barbara. How could this possibly go wrong?! View Slideshow

Kate Gosselin is Just an "Awful Human," Former Publicist Says

On her new reality show, Kate Plus Date , Kate Gosselin will be looking for a man this fall. According to a former TLC publicist who knows the star well, however, she really should be on the lookout for something else instead: Her humanity. For years and years, of course, Gosselin has been in the lives of television fans and celebrity gossip followers. And, for years and years, she’s been considered one of the more unpopular celebrities on the planet. Gosselin often comes across as loud and self-centered and narcissistic and dense and, at least in the recent eyes of ex-husband Jon, desperate and broke and lonely .  It’s sort of astounding that Kate has now anchored three different reality shows because, when you stop to think about it, one must wonder: Does she have a single actual fan ?  Like… even just one ? While you ponder that question, Joey Skladany is here to emphasize that he certainly is not a supporter of Kate Gosselin. Quite the opposite, in fact. Speaking to Rob Shuter of the Straight Shuter podcast, Skladany explained this week that he formerly worked for TLC and once took on the responsibility of representing Gosselin. “Everyone warned me that she was difficult – and I said, ‘No. I’ll compliment her,’” Skladany said of the reputation Gosselin had earned and how thought he could overcome it. He then shared a brief story that, in his view, summarized why Gosselin really does suck so very much. “At the Today show, I said, ‘Your hair looks gorgeous!’ She wouldn’t even look me in the darn eyes!” Skladany said of how Kate treated him back in the day. The mother of eight evidently left a lasting terrible impression on the TLC publicist. “At the end of the day, I called my boss and said, ‘She’s an awful human.’ They were like, ‘We know. Thank you for the feedback,'” he said on the podcast very simply — and hilariously. Kate and Jon have (unfortunately) both been back in the news of late because they are still fighting over custody of their kids, a decade after getting divorced. For a change, however, Jon is the one coming across as responsible, considering he has taken Collin into his care and is also spending a lot of time these days with daughter Hannah. Back in early December, Kate didn’t even show up at a hearing to determine with whom Collin would live — and insiders have since said she has had no contact at all with this child . Pretty effed up if true, right? Jon and Kate’s sextuplets, meanwhile, just turned 15 years old, an occasion Kate celebrated via a photo of Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel and a caption that read in part: I’m so proud of the positive qualities I’ve seen developing as they edge closer to adulthood. It hasn’t been easy for them, especially over the last year and a half, but they continue to persevere, stay positive and make lemonade out of lemons (to the point where I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to lemons, but what’s a mom to do?) but no matter what, these kids keep on keeping on. Such good, wholesome, loving, insightful, wise humans and I’m just so proud to call them mine! I love you guys to the moon and back a hundred billion times x infinity. Happy 15th birthday!

Pro-Hitler Candace Owens’ Hateful Attack On The Central Park 5 Is Sunken Demon’s Latest Cry For Help

Read the original here:

I f defending white supremacy was a club, Candace Owens would not only be a member, she’d also be the president. What others rightfully recognize as racism, Owens sees as an opportunity to pander to conservatives who are writing her bigger checks than she got running an anti-Trump website only a few years ago. Now, the same person who not so long ago defended Adolf Hitler has offered up some more unsolicited and bizarre comments. This time they were about “blacks” in reference to “When They See Us,” Ava DuVernay ‘s brilliant new miniseries about the Central Park 5 that premiered on Netflix over the weekend. MORE: New Zealand Mosque Terrorist Reportedly Was Listening to Civil War Music “How foolish do you have to be to believe that the Central Park 5 case is suddenly being unearthed and glamorized because people care about justice?” the 30-year-old Connecticut native tweeted Tuesday afternoon. “WAKE UP, BLACK AMERICA! Millions of dollars are being spent to emotionally manipulate us ahead of an election cycle— AGAIN.” How foolish do you have to be to believe that the Central Park 5 case is suddenly being unearthed and glamorized because people care about justice? WAKE UP, BLACK AMERICA! Millions of dollars are being spent to emotionally manipulate us ahead of an election cycle— AGAIN. — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) June 4, 2019 She also added, “This is exactly the problem. The media relies on black emotion. Few people read the details of the case. Now, blacks are once again being emotionally manipulated by Leftists… The Central Park 5 were NOT innocent.” This is exactly the problem. The media relies on black emotion. Few people read the details of the case. Now, blacks are once again being emotionally manipulated by Leftists. I agree with you wholeheartedly, Brandon. The Central Park 5 were NOT innocent. Periscope coming soon. https://t.co/sISbgb3K7e — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) June 4, 2019 Owens is clearly crying for help. How else can you explain making a sweeping opinion on five men who were exonerated by the New York Supreme Court? The pro-Hitler commentator who inspired the New Zealand terrorist could be suffering from some deep psychological issues. Her craving for fame has exposed her fraudulence. Remember when she tried to own the term Blexit , her word for encouraging Black folks to leave the Democratic party? It turned out that was actually a slogan stolen from the Bank Black movement . Owens also once said  the NRA is “the nation’s oldest civil rights organization” and was founded “to train Black Americans to use guns to defend themselves against the Ku Klux Klan, a Democrat terrorist group.” She is the same person who said Hitler just wanted to “make Germany great.” She also blamed the horrifying mail bombs back in October on Democrats, by tweeting then deleting , “I’m going to go ahead and state that there is a 0% chance that these ‘suspicious packages’ were sent out by conservatives. The only thing ‘suspicious’ about these packages is their timing. Caravans, fake bomb threats—these leftists are going ALL OUT for midterms.” Owens truly hates herself. If you have prayers to spare, pray for this sunken place demon. Ava DuVernay’s “When They See Us” is a critically acclaimed and cultural hit with or without Owens’ input.

“Bad Girl’s Club” Shannade Clermont Turns Herself Into Federal Prison For Fraud Following “Prostitution Date” (Exclusive)

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Clermont Twin To Serve One Year For Raiding Dead Man’s Bank Account The reality and social media star who admitted she stole about $20,000 from the bank account of a deceased man to fund her highflying social media lifestyle has started her sentence in connection with the case. Shannade Clermont, 25, turned herself in June 4 to the Dublin Federal Correctional Institute outside of Oakland, CA, according to public records obtained by BOSSIP. The prison is for about 1,200 female inmates deemed a low-security risk, and has a prison camp next door. Clermont admitted to financing her lifestyle in part with the debit card of a man she met on a “prostitution date,” attempting to spend some $20,000 in fraudulent charges like rent, designer clothing and electronics. A judge later blasted her for a “lack of character” before sentencing her to a year behind bars. Federal lockup records stated that her release date was “unknown.” Other famous inmates at FCI Dublin have included heiress Patty Hearst and Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss. Clermont’s mugshot hasn’t been made public because of privacy concerns, according to a spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons.

Jade Cline Talks Teen Mom 2 Casting, Difficult Past

Jenelle Evans is out. And Jade Cline is in. MTV has formally announced Cline as a new cast member on Teen Mom 2, doing so by having her sit and chat with a number of veteran network stars. How did she find out about this role? What sort of drama will she be stirring up? The new addition sat with veterans Catelynn, Tyler and Kailyn to discuss these questions and many more on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special that aired on June 3. During a unique segment, she actually chatted with these stars as part of Kailyn's Coffee Convos podcast, a portion of which was recorded by MTV and we've featured here. During the interview, Cline said she was kept in the dark for awhile in regard to her status on Teen Mom 2… … until her old producer from Young and Pregnant dropped the awesome bombshell right in her lap. “They said, ‘We love you, we love your story so much, we want you to be on ‘Teen Mom 2’ and I was like, I didn’t know what to say. I was like, ‘I feel so wanted and popular!’” Jade explained, adding: “The show has been on so long that I can’t believe they would want me on a show that’s been on for like 10 years with the same people.” One of those people, of course, is now a goner. Evans is off fighting for custody of her kids, not talking about storylines for next season. Cline, meanwhile, ought to bring a whole lot to the table: Her father committed suicide when she was very young. Her mom has been arrested for drug use and possession. Cline was removed by Child Protection Services as a teenager and has been living on her own since the age of 16. “I’ve been out of my parents’ house since I was 16 years old,” she says in this footage. “I’ve been on my own for six or seven years, so I feel like I didn’t vibe with anyone or talk with [the Young and Pregnant cast members] as much just because I was just somewhere else mentally.” As we said, Jade's biological father is dead — and her stepfather is basically dead to her . “Both of my parents were just incarcerated this last week,” she shared with Kailyn and her co-host Lindsie Chrisley. “They've been strung out for so long. They're like binge addicts.” You can read more about Cline's many secrets and struggles here: And you can watch her discuss all things Teen Mom 2 related, included her upcoming role on the series, in this video.
