During a follow up conversation with 2Day FM , Mel attempted to clarify her statements and… body language.  “I actually didn’t really admit to anything … I just admitted we had a little bit of a thing back in the day and that’s it.

To Freedom! Jussie Smollett’s Charges Being Dropped Have Caused Mayo-Slathered Hysteria And Unused Face Towel Tears

Source: Nuccio DiNuzzo / Getty Jussie’s Innocence Makes MAGAs Mad As you’ve probably heard, the charges against Jussie Smollett have been officially dropped by the city of Chicago. The details of the case have been sealed as part of the agreement, too. This has infuriated people who feel like Jussie lied and is benefitting from some sort of celebrity privilege. Look, whether you believe Jussie actually lied or not, you have to admit that these folks’ being so upset over his charges being dropped it is quite the comedic twist. Look at how they suddenly have so much doubt over the criminal justice system. To paraphrase one Michael Scott: “look at how the turn tables.” If Jussie Smollett was white and fabricated a hate crime against fake black people in Chicago he would be in prison. This is black privilege in Chicago. — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) March 26, 2019

Tekashi SnitchNine: Tekashi 6ix9ine Gets Lead Attorney Back For His Case

See the original post here:

Source: PYMCA / Getty While Tekashi 6ix9ine ‘s legal ordeal has somewhat cooled in recent weeks, he’s still facing a mounting number of charges despite his reported cooperation with authorities. The rapper born Daniel Hernandez also got a mild victory after he was allowed to bring back his former lead attorney after previously being told there were conflicts of interest. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a New York judge has determined 6ix9ine’s former lawyer, Lance Lazarro, can come back on as lead attorney for the rapper, as soon as the Tekashi signs off on it. Lazarro was taken off the case by the judge after concerns over conflict of interest because he previously represented two men who are co-defendants in the criminal case. The judge ruled that after reviewing all the evidence, 6ix9ine’s lawyer has shown there is no risk to the other co-defendants if he continues working for 6ix9ine. A hearing was scheduled for March 28 where the rapper will have to tell the judge he agrees. Lazarro formerly represented co-defendants Shotti and Crippy in times past, thus the conflict. — Photo: Getty

Scholarship Created To Honor Legacy Of ER Doctor Killed In Chicago

Read this article:

I n November 2018, Dr. Tamara O’Neal —an emergency room physician at Mercy Hospital in Chicago—was shot and killed by her ex-fiancé. Her former classmates are turning the tragedy into something positive. In an effort to keep O’Neal’s legacy alive, they have launched a scholarship in her honor, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Dr. Tamara O’Neal was tragically gunned down at her workplace, Mercy Hospital, in November. Now her classmates and closest friends have created a scholarship in her name, @mitchdudek reports. https://t.co/sI0SzztoT3 — Chicago Sun-Times (@Suntimes) March 17, 2019 The scholarship—dubbed the Tamara O’Neal MD Scholarship Fund—is designed for students who are a part of the University of Illinois’ Urban Health Program. The money raised for the fund will go towards supporting a student’s first year in medical school. They also hope to be able to fund the education of a fourth-year medical student who plans on completing their residency in emergency medicine. O’Neal graduated from the institution five years ago and became an emergency medicine resident graduate in 2017. Their mission is to give back to those who are following in O’Neal’s footsteps and are determined to make their mark in the medical field. So far there has been $68,000 raised for the scholarship fund. “Tamara was always a person who lived to help people, and to be able to pass that on in the form of this scholarship fund to help someone else, then Tamara still lives,” O’Neal’s father Tom O’Neal told the news outlet. “She used to call me up and tell me to say an extra prayer for her when she had a big exam … now I’ll say an extra prayer for the person who gets this scholarship.” This isn’t the first scholarship fund that has been created in memory of O’Neal. Shortly after her tragic death, her close friends launched a fund to support the next generation of Black doctors.

R. Kelly Denies Sleeping With Aaliyah’s Mother, According To Sources

Original post:

Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty Of the several allegations faced by R. Kelly, one of the more explosive charges came by way of one of his accusers, Lisa Van Allen. Van Allen claims that the troubled R&B singer slept with the mother of late entertainer Aaliyah, although Kelly is denying doing so via sources. TMZ reports : Lisa Van Allen — who accused Kelly of abuse in “Surviving R. Kelly” — said Kelly told her he and Aaliyah’s mom, Diane Haughton, had several sexual encounters. Van Allen claims Kelly stayed at Aaliyah’s home in Detroit in the ’90s and after she’d fall asleep, he’d wander into the living room and perform various sexual acts on the couch with her mom. Sources close to R. Kelly say he absolutely denies he and Diane had anything but a friendly relationship. We’re told Kelly believes the only reason Van Allen made those claims in the Vlad TV interview is to further smear his name and grab headlines for herself. Ms. Haughton has also denied having any sexual relationship with Kelly in an Instagram post near the top of the year. Kelly has bigger fish to fry as he is facing 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse . The singer is due in court on March 22. — Photo: Getty
