Kelly built over decades is continuing to avalanche down on him. According to TMZ , Robert is being charged with engaging in prostitution with someone under 18, and hiring/offering/agreeing to hire someone for sexual contact for paying a girl between the ages of 16 and 17 for sexual contact in his hotel room back on July 11, 2001. The Minnesota prosecutor, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, says that the woman approached police on January 11, 2019 to filed a report. Just three days after Cook County prosecutor Kim Foxx made a public plea for other accusers to come forward. Word is that the then-teen asked Kelly for an autograph and he then paid her $200 to dance naked for him. They did not have sexual intercourse, but there was sexual contact. Robert is facing five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

DailyMail.com reports that newly single Wendy’s “softening her position” towards her estranged husband Kevin Hunter. The website reports that Wendy’s changed her mind about dissolving their production company, publishing house and charitable foundation and she and Kevin are willing to continue to work together. Why? Well, because Wendy allegedly wants to “preserve her legacy” and she also (allegedly) wants to stop her ex from pursuing alimony. Source: Pacific Press / Getty DailyMail.com reports that the pair are allegedly close to a settlement agreement. ‘Wendy and Kevin’s marriage might be over but they still have love for one another and she realizes that when it comes to business they had a great partnership, there was definitely magic there,’ a source close to the couple told DailyMail.com. ‘Since he left the business there’s been a lot of infighting and back-biting behind the scenes, that’s the kind of stuff Kevin kept a handle on. ‘Of course Wendy was furious with Kevin over his affair, she felt he had publicly humiliated her and she wanted to come out fighting, but she’s since softened her view of him and wants an amicable divorce. Things are apparently going well for Kevin despite him allegedly welcoming a love child with Sharina Hudson. As we previously reported while other media reported that Hunter was fired from his position as an executive producer on “The Wendy Williams” show, a source with knowledge of the situation told BOSSIP it’s more of a mutual parting and he’ll be walking away with an eight-figure settlement. Our source says he’s receiving $10 million to go away quietly from the program. What do YOU think about Wendy allegedly working with Kevin Hunter???

Source: Macguyver/WENN.com / WENN Draymond Green Reportedly Signs A 4-Year Deal With Golden State It looks like Golden State is focused on keeping their core players together. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Draymond Green and the Warriors have agreed to a four-year, $100 million maximum contract extension. With free agency looming next summer, three-time All-Star Draymond Green has agreed to a four-year, $100M maximum contract extension with Golden State, agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) August 3, 2019 Prior to the big news, Green was set to hit the free agency market next summer–but if that were to happen, he would be highly sought after. The three-time All-Star is considered to be the anchor that kept the Warriors steady during their five-year finals run. So, to prevent losing such a pivotal piece of their franchise, the Warriors decided to extend Draymond the biggest offer that they could. Just last month, the Warriors and Klay Thompson agreed to a five-year, $190 million contract during this summer’s free agency. Even though Green received the most money he could at this point in his career, if he had waited until free agency, he would’ve been able to seek out a bigger contract from the Warriors or another franchise. The choice he made–to not even consider another option–proves that star players like Steph Curry, Klay, and Draymond are looking to continue building something special as a unit. Congrats to Draymond on the big bag!

David Dennis Jr. recently appeared on “The Damage Report” (again!) to eloquently explain to Brooke Thomas and Jayar Jackson how Trump’s coddled and comforted his white supremacist fanbase and will use that in the 2020 election. “What Donald Trump has succeeded in doing is making white power and white supremacy the most important thing going on in Washington. He has fed his base, and that is a win for him,” said Dennis.

The rapper posted a picture to his Instagram page for the first time in a month, thanking everyone who supported him over the last few weeks. He also thanks the court for letting him go back home to his family.

A$AP and the other two defendants are free to leave Sweden while they await a verdict, which is expected to come August 14. Prosecutors requested that Rocky–who’s already spent a month in jail–remain in the country because he was a flight risk, but the judges disagreed. Prosecutors also asked the judges to impose a 6-month jail sentence for the rapper, saying he should be judged harshly because they claim he threw a bottle at the alleged victim–while A$AP admitted to picking up the bottle, he denies using it on the alleged victim. According to TMZ , Rocky got a huge assist on Friday from two eyewitnesses who both said they did NOT see Rocky strike the alleged victim with a bottle, which is the centerpiece of the prosecution’s case. Annoyingly, Donald Chump tweeted following news of Rocky’s release, letting off some of the most insufferable puns anyone has ever heard.
