Source: Vivien Killilea / Getty Terry Crews Slams National Enquirer’s Publisher The National Enquirer is in some really hot water right now. This all started when Jeff Bezos accused The National Enquirer of extortion, claiming that the tabloid leveraged the Amazon CEO’s nude pictures in hopes of stopping his investigation into the company’s motives. Quickly thereafter, acclaimed journalist Ronan Farrow alleged that he had faced similar extortion threats from the media company. Now, Terry Crews has also come forward to accuse American Media, Inc. of trying to intimidate him to make him drop his lawsuit against WME agent Adam Venit. “This same company, AMI, tried to silence me in my lawsuit against WME and Adam Venit by fabricating stories of me with prostitutes—and even went so far as creating fake receipts,” Crews announced on Twitter. This same company, AMI, tried to silence me in my lawsuit against @wme and Adam Venit by fabricating stories of me with prostitutes— and even went so far as creating fake receipts. I called their bluff by releasing their threats online. They blinked. https://t.co/S6lMZ5K6Tb — terry crews (@terrycrews) February 8, 2019 Terry Crews sued WME and Adam Venit after alleging that the former agent groped him at a party back in 2016. Both parties ended up settling in 2018 and Venit resigned from the company shortly after that. The actor is now alleging that while this lawsuit situation was going on, AMI threatened to publish fabricated accounts of Crews’ affiliation with prostitutes. Jeff Bezos recently announced that he opened a personally-funded investigation to determine how the National Enquirer obtained the explicit text messages he exchanged with his mistress. The mogul first claimed that the story may have been “politically motivated,” coinciding with Donald Trump’s deep-seated hatred of the Amazon CEO. Bezos also alleged that AMI threatened to release his nude photos should he continue investigating how they obtained them.

Apparently, cigarettes are deadly in more ways than one. Not only do they cause cancer — they cause people to make poor decisions, like leaving a baby alone on a train. Cleveland Regional Transit Authority released surveillance video of a man stepping off a train to smoke a cigarette and then chasing after it when it leaves the station with his baby on board. WKYT reports: “The train’s driver learned about the baby on board before it arrived at the next station, which was just a minute away. RTA officials responded and quickly returned to the station where the father was reunited with the child. Hopefully the child’s mom takes the kid with her from now on. Sheesh.
