Frats Gone Too Far: Buffalo State’s Alpha Phi Alpha Suspended After Student Dies In Alleged Toxic Hazing

Alpha Phi Alpha Suspended After Death Of Allegedly Hazed Student A 21 year old Buffalo State student named Bradley Doyley died at Buffalo General Medical Center this week after vomiting blood and being sick for several weeks. According to the NYDailyNews , the college’s branch of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity may be responsible for his death. Witnesses say that the frat forced Doyley to “drink something toxic” as part of his hazing initiation. After Bradley’s illness persisted and intensified, he was said to have been taken into surgery to have his stomach examined. Buffalo police are investigating allegations that Doyley’s death may be linked to a hazing incident at an off-campus Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity house. The campus chapter of the organization has been suspended by both the college and the fraternity’s national governing body. College officials told WKBW-ABC that Doyley was not a member of the frat and was not pledging. “He had not completed the application process with the national fraternity,” a spokesperson for the SUNY school told the station. But students who knew Doyley told a different story. “I was in the weight room and heard he was pledging and was made to drink some type of toxic substance,” Dametrius Brown, a member of the college football team, told the Buffalo News. “I keep hearing different stories. First it was detergent, then some said sewer water.” We get that people like frats and sororities and whatnot, but how much pain and suffering are you really down to endure just to kick it with a couple of color-coordinated friends?

Ho, Ho, Ho Sit Down: Texas Mother Heartbroken When Shady Santa Denies Handicapped Child A Seat On His Lap

San Antonio Santa Denies Special Needs Child A Seat On His Lap Damn, Santa . What part of the yuletide game is THIS?!? SMFH. Via KENS5 The family of a 13-month-old baby with a genetic brain and muscle disorder has received a formal apology from Bass Pro Shops, days after the family said Santa Claus refused to be photographed with the child on his lap. The incident happened Friday afternoon at Bass Pro Shops in northwest San Antonio. Megan Self told KENS 5 she unhooked her son Caleb from his breathing apparatus and other medical equipment, after waiting in line for a free picture with Santa Claus. Self said Santa stood up, took one photo with Caleb, then quickly handed off the child, who has been diagnosed with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Stood up???? That’s janky as HELL! According to Self, Caleb has been hospitalized 11 times since March. Despite his repeated medical setbacks, Caleb’s family wanted him to experience sitting on Santa’s lap. “We were trying to work with them so we can get that memory, get the picture of him on his lap and everything,” added Self. So f***ing sad. A spokesman for Bass Pro Shops said via telephone Monday “this is not something we feel great about”. The spokesman added Santa Claus, his elves and store employees taking part in the free picture promotion go through sensitivity training before each holiday season. Isn’t it kinda a prerequisite that Santa and his elves already be “sensitive”? Isn’t that their whole reason for existing? To make kids happy and feel special??? Furthermore, wouldn’t it be safer to have the child on his lap rather than standing up and increasing the chance that he drop him??? What an azzhole this Santa is. FOH fat man!

Lamar Odom Walks For First Time Since Overdose!

Ailing NBA star Lamar Odom is reportedly making major strides in his recovery … literally. Late last week, he walked without assistance. The basketball star had not been able to move without the aid a walker since the day he overdosed in a Vegas brothel earlier this fall. Until Thursday, when Lamar ditched the walker and took three steps, shocking the doctors working with him on his physical therapy. Furthermore, he has a limited range of motion in his hands, but he was able to make a small, yet significant, stride in that area as well. During a recent visit from wife Khloe Kardashian, Odom reached above his head to put his hood on, which may not sound that impressive. It is, however, considering the state of the athlete’s brain function, which was perilous to say the least and still clouds his entire future. The situation has been so unsettling – or at least uncertain – that some reports have suggested we may never see him in public again . Ever. While that’s an extreme and likely unsubstantiated scenario, it underscores what a difficult road lies ahead for the 36-year-old. Fortunately, he was able to recognize a hospital staff member this week, another milestone since he couldn’t recognize family before. Whatever you think of the circumstances that put him there, these developments are welcome news to Lamar, Khloe and Liza Morales . As for what lies ahead, that remains anyone’s guess, but we’re happy to hear that there has been some progress on the medical front. Despite reports that Odom has nowhere to go after he leaves the hospital, TMZ reports that he will soon be moved to a rehab facility.   View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy

David Foster: STILL Paying Yolanda Foster’s Medical Bills?!

It’s been over two weeks since we first learned that Yolanda and David Foster are getting divorced , and sources say that even though Yolanda is the one who decided to call it quits, she’s still milking David for everything he’s worth. According to TMZ, the couple signed a prenup when they married in 2011, but David is giving Yolanda much more cash than he’s required to. In fact, the website claims that David is still paying for Yolanda’s medical bills, which is odd for a few reasons: For one thing, Yolanda’s bills are astronomical, as she frequently travels internationally to receive expensive stem cell treatments that aren’t legal in the US. But what makes the situation even more surprising is the fact that friends say David doesn’t even believe Yolanda has Lyme disease ! “David is telling friends he believes she was cured of it long ago, but she’s been playing up ongoing symptoms because she enjoys the attention,” one insider recently told Radar Online. Sources say Yolanda decided to end the marriage over a year ago, but David has continued to provide emotional and financial support. When David sold his $27 million Malibu home, he reportedly gave Yolanda “a big chunk” of the money, and she recently purchased a $5 million home in the upscale Wilshire Corridor section of Los Angeles. Yolanda may or may not be sick, but from the sound of things, her bank account has never been healthier.

Lamar Odom Transferred To Los Angeles Facility To Continue Recovery Process

Khloe Kardashian: Set to Inherit How Much of Lamar Odom Estate?

Khloe Kardashian remains at Lamar Odom’s bedside as reports surface that the two are not legally divorced and she is making his medical decisions. Moreover, she stands to inherit a large portion of his estate if he passes away, as the ailing basketball star did not have a will, and the law is the law. Insiders say rumors of Khloe feuding with Liza Morales over Lamar’s estate are false, and that she is by his side only because she cares about him. The feeling was/is mutual, as Lamar has not let their divorce get in the way of his feelings, as he never took steps to disinherit her from his fortune. Khloe and Lamar had a prenup, separating her money from his. In some cases, prenups state that a spouse is disinherited from the other spouse. Not the case with these two. With no will, under California law, if he were to die, Kardashian would be entitled to 1/3 of the 35-year-old’s personal fortune. His kids with Liza Morales would get the remaining 2/3. Khloe doesn’t need, care about or want the money, but if this sad story were to end tragically, the reality star would inherit it just the same. Odom also has several life insurance trusts, making both Khloe and his kids with Liz beneficiaries. We just hope this is all a moot point. The amazing news is that there has been a ray of hope. Lamar is not out of the woods yet, but he is doing better. Many predicted he’d be brain dead after his overdose, but his heart is doing better and Odom is off life support and breathing on his own. Here’s hoping the fallen basketball star continues to improve and makes a full recovery, however unlikely that seemed just 24 hours ago. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy
