Stripper Puts Wild Night With Apollo Nida On Blast It seems that there may be a huge dose of truth to the stories Phaedra Parks alleges of Apollo Nida spending all his nights and days leading up to prison holed up in ATL shake joints and away from his wife and children. A stripper has stepped forward with her own story of a day filled with dollar bills, g-strings, shopping trips, and alleged thot-ivity in Apollo’s home while Phaedra and the boys were out of town — just weeks before he headed off to serve his 8-year sentence. Via RadarOnline : A self-described “nude exotic dancer,” Cashaun Sidney, describes a raunchy night with Nida in 2014 — when he was still living with Parks — in her new book, Sordid Panties: Celebrities, Thots, Money & Scandal. Sidney claims she met Nida, 37, through a mutual friend in “late 2014” at Atlanta strip club Follies, before he headed to prison to serve time on fraud charges. “He drove up with his brother, Michael, and they escorted us and two other young ladies into the club,” she claims in the book. “We entered the bar and had a few drinks and Apollo asked us if we wanted to go to Lenox Mall, a popular mall in Atlanta that held some of the most high-end stores in the city. Of course we were game.” “We went to the mall and later as we were sitting in Bloomingdales, Apollo asked us if we wanted to accompany him to a night club where he would be heading later to meet up with a few other celebrity friends of his. We obliged.” “We went back to his home to get dressed …” she writes. “It was evident that his wife was not in town.” The strip club THEN the mall?? How early in the day do Apollo and his homeboys check in at the booty bar??? Of Course, once the crew arrived at the Nida home, things really began to turn up. Hit the flip for more…

Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers.

The Jury Selection In The Freddie Gray Death Trial To Begin This Week After a long year of battling with police brutality, the trial of the 6 Baltimore officers who have been charged with the death of Freddie Gray is set to begin soon. There is no doubt that Nation will be waiting with bated breath as we await the verdict from 12 of the officer’s peers. Via NYDailyNews Six police officers were indicted in Gray’s death. Jury selection in the first trial begins Monday. A verdict will likely set the tone for the city: If Officer William Porter is acquitted there could be protests and possibly more unrest. A conviction could send shockwaves through the city’s troubled police department. “Everything is at stake. The future of the city is at stake,” Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said. Porter faces charges of assault, manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. He is accused of checking on Gray during several stops the van made during its 45-minute trip from the Gilmor Homes in Sandtown-Winchester, where Gray was arrested, to the Western District station house, where officers found Gray unresponsive and he was taken to a hospital. He died a week later. Gray was initially handcuffed. Later during his van ride, his legs were shackled and he was placed back in the van without a seatbelt, a violation of department policy, prosecutors have said. Porter is black. Two other officers are black and the three others are white. They will be tried separately beginning in January; their trials are expected to last until the spring. The Rodney King uprising is gonna look like a children’s carnival compared to Baltimore if the jury doesn’t come back with a “guilty” verdict for at least ONE of these cops. We’ll definitely be watching this trial VERY closely… Image via AP
