Anonymous Cop Sues BLM Leader DeRay McKesson For Inciting Protesters To Beat Him Down

Cop Files Federal Lawsuit Against DeRay McKesson For Black Lives Matter Rally An officer choosing to remain nameless is suing DeRay McKesson for organizing a BLM rally for the police shooting death of Alton Sterling, claiming he was severely injured by a riotous crowd which DeRay incited. “John Doe” says the July 9th rally was blocking streets, causing need for police to come control the crowd. According to court docs, this is where things went left. Via TMZ : The anonymous cop says he and his fellow officers were first pelted by full bottles, looted from a Circle K — and when the water ran out, someone picked up a piece of concrete … or a rock … and chucked it. He says he was struck in the face and went down hard. He says he lost teeth, and injured his jaw and brain. In the suit, he blames McKesson for inciting the violence. He points out tensions were already high because the Dallas PD ambush happened just 2 days earlier — and Alton Sterling had been shot by Baton Rouge cops on July 5. He’s suing for his medical bills and damages. SMH. Isn’t part of being a riot cop assuming these types of risks in the first place? And how can you blame someone who arranged a PEACEFUL protest for the reckless actions of a crowd — IF this is even what transpired??

Heat By Dre: Suge Knight Sues Dr. Dre For Allegedly Hiring Hitman To Murder Him

Suge Knight Sues Dr. Dre For Alleged Murder Attempt The imprisoned former head of Death Row Records is now blaming Dr. Dre for assassination attempts on his life. According to TMZ , Suge Knight has filed a lawsuit which accuses Andre Young of setting him up for death because he didn’t want to pay out a percentage of the Beats by Dre. Dre was contractually obligated to pay 30% of his entertainment earnings to his former boss, but Knight claims Dre wanted to back out of the deal because Apple didn’t want to be associated with him. Suge believes that when he was shot 7 times at 1 OAK at BET Awards weekend in 2014, it was the work of Dre and his hired gun. He names Apple, Dre, Universal and Tam’s for $300 million.

Breaking News: Derrick Rose Found NOT Guilty In Gang Rape Trial

NBA Star Vindicated In Sex Assault Trial NBA star Derrick Rose was found NOT guilty Wednesday in his federal gang rape trial – and is off the hook for more than $20 million in damages. A jury of six women and two men spent Wednesday deliberating on the contentious case before delivering their unanimous decision, capping off a two week trial that revealed graphic details about the New York Knick star’s sex life.  Rose, along with friends Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, were cleared of charges of sexual battery, trespassing and battery inside Los Angeles Federal Court. The accuser sued Rose for $21 million after she said he and the two friends broke into her apartment three years ago and took turns raping her while she was unconscious. Rose has maintained that the sex was consensual, and her suit was a money grab after he stopped speaking to her and wouldn’t reimburse her for sex toys. The newly-minted New York Knicks player is now expected to join his teammates for the rest of the season. Story is developing.

Rack City? Tyga “Falls Ill” The Moment Lawyers Start Grilling Him About How Much Money He Spends On Kylie Jenner

Tyga Becomes Physically Sick Talking About Buying Kylie Gifts In Court Tyga is in court so much for unpaid bills and unsettled debts that it’s damn near a part-time job for him at this point. But he was thrown for such a loop by the line of questioning at his latest case that he was suddenly pushed into a medical emergency. Tyga was facing off against celeb jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills this time around, in a hearing meant to determine if he even had close to enough cash to cover the $200k judgment he owes for a diamond chain and an expensive watch that he — of course — failed to pay for. According to TMS, Tyga was initially cooperative, telling Jason’s details of his income and assets. But as soon as lawyers began pressing Tyga about various lavish gifts he’s allegedly given Kylie , based on what the couple shows on social media…suddenly Tyga started feeling under the weather. Tyga told lawyers he was starting to feel extremely ill, was losing his memory and becoming confused, to the point that he ultimately let the lawyer know there was no way he could continue. Convenient timing, huh? The questions leave Tyga between a rock and a hard place…if he admits that he drops all his rent money on presents for his teen queen Kylie…then he’ll definitely need to pay up. But if he admits that he doesn’t have 2 dimes to rub together and doesn’t actually buy her ISHT…well then it’s clear that Kylie’s carrying this grown-azz father and they’re a couple of fronting-azz liars. Hmm…we wonder if he’ll be well enough to answer these questions the NEXT time court comes around… AKM-GSI/Splash/WENN

SMH: Lawyer Demands Eric Garner’s Children Take DNA Tests Before Dividing $7 Million Settlement

Lawyer Demands Eric Garner’s Children Take DNA Tests Before Settlement The lawyer for Eric Garner’s illegitimate child has demanded that the kids of Garner undergo DNA tests to prove that they are his before dividing the $7 million settlement reports The Grio : Lorraine Coyle, who represents 2-year-old Legacy Miller, made the shocking demand on Wednesday. During a hearing behind closed doors at the Staten Island Surrogate Court, Coyle demanded the tests because Garner’s name does not appear on the birth certificates for the other children. Jonathan Moore, the Garner family’s lawyer, seemed shocked by what he called an “offensive” demand. “Why do that when there’s no reason to do that?” Moore asked the New York Daily News. “Everyone knows they are his children.” “I don’t think she (Coyle) would have said this if the Garner family had a different complexion,” Moore said. Coyle has argued that she is only doing her “due diligence” because she does not believe Esaw Garner’s reasoning for leaving her husband’s name off the birth certificates. Esaw Garner said that she had kicked Eric Garner out of the hospital because he was “getting on my nerves” when she was going into labor and added that as for the birth certificates, “It didn’t make any difference to him, he knew they were his kids.”

Katt Williams Says “Three-Dollar P**** B*tch” Can’t Sue Him Over Kidnapping & Beating Her…Because He Already Paid Up

Katt Williams’ Assault And Kidnapping Suit Thrown Out Turns out the comedienne that Katt Williams allegedly slapped up and insulted on tour is being a little greedy. Katt’s lawyers had to tap her on the shoulder and remind her that she’s already been paid for her troubles and is going to need to drop her new case — or else. Via TMZ : Katt Williams is the victim of a serious double-dipper — that’s his reaction to a comedian suing him over an alleged beatdown, because he says he’s already forked over a settlement. TMZ broke the story … Ashima Franklin filed a lawsuit, saying Katt attacked and kidnapped her, but sources close to Katt say her suit is just a repeat of claims she made months ago. We’re told Ashima accepted a “small amount” of cash to squash the drama, and even signed a settlement agreement. Apparently, her lawyer didn’t get that memo … and went ahead and filed a $3 million lawsuit for her. Obviously, Katt’s attorneys sent Ashima’s lawyer the previous agreement, so she’s dismissed the suit. WELP. If she took the small amount she can’t go seeking more after finding out Katt has some batsh*t crazy tendencies. But in the meantime…he may want to look into maybe NOT beating up, imprisoning, or kidnapping people he comes across anymore… Instagram

BOSSIP Exclusive: IRS Slaps Swizz Beatz With Six Figure Tax Lien

Swizz Beatz, DMX Feds Say Swizz Beatz Owes Back Taxes Uncle Sam has accused Swizz Beatz of not paying nearly $280,000 in back taxes, and now the federal government has headed to court demanding he pay up in full, BOSSIP has learned. According to official records in New York, the IRS has filed a lien against the music producer turned art aficionado, accusing him of screwing them out of taxes for 2015. The document states that Swizz is refusing to pay up on $275,727.12 for unpaid taxes. The IRS isn’t playing around with their money and demanding he pay up the full amount or they will begin coming after his property and assets to pay off the debt. Earlier this year, the IRS slapped Swizz, real name Kasseem Dean, with another federal tax lien, accusing him of owing a total of $88,662.94 for the year 2014. The lien is still active and has yet to be paid off. A few months earlier, Swizz dropped $732,000 to Uncle Sam for unpaid taxes for the year 2006, and the IRS released the lien against him for that year. Swizz dropped an additional $556,000 last year to pay off his 2007 tax debt. The music producer has a long history of tax problems and at one point he owed more than $2.6 million dollars to the IRS. Beatz blasted the reports about his tax issues explaining he was all caught up – despite evidence showing otherwise.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Rick Ross Baby Mama Demands Judge Order 50 Cent to Follow Their Deal To Pay Her $6 Million

50 Cent Agreed To Pay Lastonia Leviston $6 Million As Part Of His Bankruptcy She once sued him for leaking a sex tape of her, and Rick Ross’ baby mama has accused 50 Cent of screwing her over once again. Lastonia Leviston has headed back to federal court to demand the judge order the rapper to follow through on their deal to dismiss their sex tape lawsuit and to pay the $6 million he agreed to in his bankruptcy plan. Recently, the rapper saw a federal bankruptcy judge sign off on his proposed deal to pay back a substantial amount of his debt to the various creditors, which brought the case to a close. The repayment plan will pay out $17 million to his former business partners Sleek Audio and $6 million to Rick Ross’ baby mama after she scored a judgment against the rapper for leaking her sex tape online. Before the plan was OK’d, 50 Cent had attempted to continue on with his legal battle with Rick Ross’ baby mama. He believed the $7 million judgment was excessive and wanted to drag Rick Ross into the case. 50 Cent said that his archenemy should be found liable for a portion of the judgment due to him allegedly being to blame for the leak. He also said the emotional distress claim by Lastonia – which she was awarded $500,000 for in the jury decision – wasn’t legit and wanted it thrown out. It appeared all their issues were settle once the judge signed off on the repayment plan where he was to cough up $6 million to Lastonia. But now it looks like things didn’t go that smoothly, and Lastonia has asked the bankruptcy judge help her force the rapper to follow their deal and him pay her the millions. She explained in her court documents that the deal she signed with 50 states both parties are to dismiss the sex tape legal battle in New York Supreme Court following the execution of the agreement. However, she says that she has repeatedly sought the cooperation of 50 Cent to dismiss the New York suit but he refuses because he wants to pursue a claim against Rick Ross in that legal battle, in hopes the court will find him liable for a portion of the $7 million awarded to Lastonia. She is furious that the rapper won’t follow his end of the deal and says nowhere in their agreement did it state he could pursue claims against Ross. Lastonia is pleading with the judge to order 50 Cent to dismiss the New York sex tape case and to cough up the $6 million per his plan.

Shemar Moore Suing Former Criminal Minds Costar For $60,000

Shemar Moore Sues Criminal Minds Costar A lot of drama going on on the set of Criminal Minds this week! First, actor Thomas Gibson was fired for kicking a writer …now, Shemar Moore is suing one of his former castmates for $60k after stealing it from his nonprofit. Via E!News : Shemar Moore was in a Los Angeles court yesterday to testify against his former Criminal Minds co-star, Keith Tisdell. Moore claims that Tisdell owes him approximately $60,000 and demands that his former colleague and friend repay him, E! News can confirm. “We became friends…We went into business together,” Moore explained to Judge Hayden Zacky yesterday. Moore started a charity organization to help those who battle Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that plagued his mother. Tisdell was involved in the charity, titled Baby Girl LLC. According to court documents, Tisdell was arrested in January on suspicion of embezzlement but he subsequently admitted to grand theft. Moore told the judge that the theft went unnoticed on his part for a long time, however, an audit revealed that cash from Baby Girl LLC was missing. As a result, Moore confronted Tisdall about the missing money and Tisdell—according to Moore—vehemently denied any wrongdoing. “In my mind, he wasn’t man enough to look me in the eye and fess up. I’ve done a lot for him because he had me, my friends fooled. I’m not here for money. I’m here because he betrayed a friendship. This is not OK. You don’t do this to people.” SMH! Can’t trust anyone out here. Hopefully Shemar gets every cent back… AKM-GSI

Ahmed Mohamed’s Father Files Civil Rights Lawsuit Against School Following “Clock Bomb” Arrest

The Father Of “Clock Bomber” Ahmed Mohamed Files Civil Rights Lawsuit Against School According to a report in the NYDailyNews , the “clock boy” Ahmed Mohamed and his family have filed a federal lawsuit (in addition to the $15 million suit previously filed) against the Irving Independent School District for violating the teen’s civil rights when he was arrested at school last year… The father of the Texas Muslim teen arrested after bringing his homemade clock to school last year filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Monday. The suit on behalf of 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed accuses the Irving Independent School District of “a clear pattern of discrimination based upon race as well as discrimination based upon religion.” The lawsuit also names Ahmed’s former high school principal and the city of Irving as defendants following his September 2015 arrest and three-day suspension. “I got a lot of hate. And I got a lot of support in the beginning but then again it’s the hate that sticks because some of it is so damaging. I get death threats. What did I ever do to someone to get death threats?” Ahmed said at a press conference, according to KTVT-TV. He and his family moved to Qatar following the arrest and subsequent outcry, but they came back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the summer. We can only imagine what type of hateful things these Duck Dynasty-esque rednecks are hurling at Admed and his family. The suit cites records of disciplinary actions that showed racial disparities in the district and feelings of isolation and alienation among black students. A recent profanity-laced voicemail left for an Irving Muslim civil rights organization also displayed “a long and ugly history of race struggles” in the district, according to the lawsuit. “Will we be faithful to our American principles of equality and freedom or will we let fear and hate prevail, the two biggest evils that will defeat our democracy?” the suit said. “History tells us that when we have stood tall and proud for equality and freedom, we have grown as a nation. When we have given in to fear and hate, we flounder.” If left to Donald Trump, not only would this case be thrown out, the Mohameds would probably be thrown out with it. We hope they win the money AND the federal lawsuit against the school. Image via Instagram
