$25k definitely isn’t the $2 million that they were going for but, hey…. Georgia Man Wins $25,000 Lawsuit After Cop Lies To Have Him Wrongfully Arrested via WALB News Georgia A multi-million dollar federal lawsuit against the Albany Police Department has been settled, after attorneys said officers jailed a man for 16 months, knowing he was innocent. Attorney James Finkelstein, who represented Richard Hayes, said they were pleased with the outcome. Court documents showed the suit was settled for $25,000. Hayes was 17 when he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and gang participation in September 2009. The suit filed against Albany Police officer Charles Flowers said Hayes was unjustly held in the Dougherty County jail for one year and four months. Hayes agreed to a $25,000 settlement from the city on the day his $2 million lawsuit against Albany Police Officer Charles Flowers was to begin. On October 22nd, 2009, Flowers charged then 17-year old Hayes, a confessed Southside Blood gang member, with aggravated assault for a gang shootout on South Madison Street. Flowers remained in jail until March 9, 2011 when the charges were dropped. “We felt like we had a good position, but the litigation is protracted. Drags on and on. And we felt it was just in the best interest of a settlement at that level,” said Albany City Attorney Nathan Davis. Hayes’ attorney Jim Finkelstein said he and his client are “pleased” with the settlement. Hayes also asked for a jury trial in the lawsuit, which initially sought more than $2 million dollars in general and punitive damages.

Newcover Demetria McKinney made her presence felt on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 7 , but she was far from the only pot-stirrer in the ATL. An established actress and singer, the latest cast member is no stranger to Atlanta’s entertainment world and culture or to bringing drama to the screen. Never has she done it quite like this, though. When she visits Cynthia Bailey at her agency to cast a model for her music video, Demetria McKinney brings up her manager and Cynthia’s friend, Roger Bobb. Demetria and Roger are an item. On the DL. “Peter [Thomas] and I have known Roger Bobb for years, and we’ve never heard him talk about having a girlfriend,” Cynthia dished in her confessional. Demetria felt she had to keep the seven-year romance with Roger secret, but what better time than The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 7 to take it public? “I’m ready for people to know,” she announces, and with her music video party coming up, “He better have his ass there as my man and my manager!” Did he, though? When a photo of Kenya Moore, Cynthia, Peter and Roger made the Internet rounds, Demetria wasn’t pleased – especially given Kenya’s reputation. She may feel she’s been vindicated by recent events, but everyone else seems to think Kenya Moore is shady . How shady is she in this particular case? Well, depends on how you look at it. Cynthia tells Kenya and Claudia Jordan that while Roger Bobb is a good catch, he’s already taken by Demetria. Kenya finds that hard to believe, saying that he’s dated several of her friends. “He loves the ladies, and the ladies love him. LL Cool B,” she cracked. Moore, who knows Roger, stops by his office later and asks about it. “She’s a singer, she’s an actress. She’s also my lady,” Roger says of Demetria McKinney. Kenya pretends to be happy for him, but her intuition tells another story. We have a hunch she won’t be “Nice to Metria” for much longer this season. Meanwhile, Mama Joyce and Kandi Burruss are at odds again, and not over Todd Tucker for once. This time the topic is Joyce’s boyfriend, Benny. They have a fight over home renovation woes Benny was to blame for. Aunt Nora mediates. Joyce claims she’s been sick. They make up. Todd is skeptical. “When she do some s–t, she gets tired and has aneurysms. When she’s on everyone else’s ass, she good. She be playin’ y’all!” Todd Tucker exclaims. Speaking of people who are all over the place … “If he decides to chat, we chat. If he doesn’t, we don’t… it’s just moody,” Phaedra Parks says of Apollo Nida. Phaedra doesn’t know how to tell her little kids that Apollo is going to be locked up. She consults Kandi on the subject, but comes away just as confused.

What kind of s–t hit the fan then? Apollo tells Phaedra he’s “still [her] husband … don’t forget that” and that he comes in peace. She reminds him he can talk to her at home … where he lives. Apollo embraces Phaedra, who looks very uncomfortable. Kenya cracks, “Who needs Demetria’s video when I can watch this episode of Lockdown?” Speaking of Metria, Kenya tells her, “Let me just put your mind at ease: I do not want your man. I like money, I like a successful career… your man can help me achieve that.” Crisis averted … for now.

Nicki Minaj has come out with a new single. But instead of fans focusing on the beats of “All Things Go,” many have honed in on the track’s lyrics, most notably a passage that seems to imply Minaj either suffered a miscarriage or had an abortion 16 years ago. Referencing younger brother Micaiah, Minaj raps at one point: “I want Caiah to go to college just to say we did it/My child with Aaron, would’ve have been sixteen any minute/So in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them/It’s like he’s Cai’s little angel looking over him.” The 31-year old also makes it clear that she was once engaged. Or at least that someone once asked for her hand in marriage. “Ten years ago, that’s when you proposed/I look down, yes I suppose,” Nicki raps. In 2008, Minaj admitted to feeling guilt about having had an abortion in the single “Autobiography.” She was around 15 at the time she ended her pregnancy. Earlier this year, rumors of Nicki Minaj being pregnant (courtesy of Lil Wayne) circulated around the Internet, but they were never true, of course. Minaj often shares pictures of her nipples , but rarely opens up about her personal life. As a result, fans who have listed to “All Things Go” have been expressing their support for the artist over Twitter. “The fact that we know how private of a person you are. To have u give us something like All Things Go. Wow I love u,” wrote one fan, while another added: “respect & appreciate @NICKIMINAJ for being as candid & vulnerable as she is on ‘all things go.'” 19 Nicki Minaj Fun Facts! 1.

Despite Apollo Nida’s recent admission that he lied about Kenya Moore trying to get with him, his estranged wife Phaedra Parks is still not a fan of hers. In fact, she still doesn’t believe Moore, or buy Nida’s newfound retraction, which you remember if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online . Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 4 Online After NeNe Leakes cast doubt on Sunday’s episode over Apollo‘s claim that he lied about Kenya, Parks called her co-star “a very supportive friend.” NeNe mused that Apollo was “lying about lying” as a means of trying to hurt Phaedra, and that Kenya still couldn’t be trusted at all in any situation. “Things that she said … you know she’s not a truthful person!” NeNe told Kandi Burruss and Phaedra on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 4 . How does Phaedra feel about Leakes weighing in bluntly on her personal drama? “All in all, I think NeNe made a fair observation,” Parks said afterward, noting Kenya’s purported “unladylike and disrespectful behavior with men.” “It was easy for her, and anyone else, to conclude that Kenya is not innocent.” The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Cast Photos 1.

Kenya says she’s vindicated by Apollo’s reversal. His wife isn’t so sure. Phaedra says Kenya is “twirling on an emotional roller coaster in an effort to gain sympathy” and trying to play the victim to shift the focus away from her own misdeeds. “You cannot make it so easy for people to believe salacious stories about you and then expect pity when one story may not be true,” Parks points out. “Kenya wants everyone to forget she is the person who flaunted inappropriate, flirty behavior with numerous men, and repeatedly lied about her male suitors or lack thereof.” Phaedra admitted this has taken a toll on her, and “there has been so much lying and manipulation going on … it is not a constructive use of my time to keep score.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore is feeling vindicated following Apollo Nida’s admission that he lied about Moore trying to sex him up. Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 2 Online If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you saw Nida apologize to Moore and come clean about the bogus rumor he spread last season. In her latest Bravo blog, Kenya couldn’t contain her happiness at having her name cleared, and couldn’t resist a dig at Nida’s wife for believing him. “I have never wanted Apollo, never offered him sexual favors,” the former beauty queen wrote after The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Episode 2 . “Apollo clearly has the propensity to lie.” Parks “has called [her] a wh*re 99 different ways” since the rumor started, and Moore says “I may be a lot of things, but I have never been anyone’s wh*re.” She says she’s appalled that Parks, an attorney, never “checked his story out before publicly slandering and defaming” her and giving her the silent treatment. Moore went on to list all the things Phaedra and their fellow co-stars called her, such as “alcoholic,” “bipolar,” “broke” and a “home wrecking wh*re.” Clearly still reeling from the scandal, Kenya asks “Imagine how I felt having my family or 5-year-old nieces ask my why I would do something like that?” The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 Cast Photos 1. Nene Leakes Nene is back for a seventh season of RHOA. She’s considered by some to be the biggest atar in the Housewives galaxy. Kenya also called out Porsha Williams , NeNe Leakes, and Kandi Burress for not having her back and treating Apollo’s scandalous accusation as legitimate. “The same people who do the most talking fall silent when they are proven wrong,” Kenya Moore wrote. “Do I deserve an apology? Yes, without question.” “Will I get one? … Have I ever?” No, Kenya. But consider yourself vindicated in the court of public opinion … just don’t bring any more props to the next reunion taping.
