Wendy Williams: Kevin Williams Won’t Get One More CENT From Me!!

Two weeks ago, Wendy Williams filed to divorce her awful husband , Kevin Hunter. Even Wendy’s harshest critics have applauded the move, especially when they learned that she had hired security in fear of her safety around him. Now, she’s also taking steps to ensure her financial security — by cutting him off. TMZ reports that Wendy Williams has hired a team to ensure that her finances are secure. She has severed Kevin Hunter’s access to her accounts and created all new funds. Wendy apparently began this process before serving Kevin with divorce papers. As with hiring the security team, she wanted everything in place before he knew what was happening. She hasn’t limited this conscious uncoupling to money matters, either. Wendy has already secured a new home for herself in Manhattan. TMZ reports that she signed the lease a few weeks ago. She also went ahead and paid for an entire year’s rent. This is no small move, by the way. As you may recall, she and Kevin resided together in New Jersey. We covered the financial and personal (physical) separation. But we’ve already reported the professional separation. Wendy Williams fired Kevin Hunter from her show, where he had worked as an executive producer. She wasn’t sure about that at first, but ultimately realized that they simply could not work together. Kevin Hunter may play second fiddle to Wendy, but he’s known for being a savvy businessman. TMZ notes that he is expected to demand some sort of severance package if the show wants him to go quietly into this good night. Of course, Kevin Hunter could have avoided this entire situation if he’d just modified his behavior a little. Not everyone knows this, but most women have this quirk where they don’t love it when their husbands cheat on them. They can be especially picky about husbands fathering children outside of wedlock. Who knew? And then there is a much more serious allegation that has barely been whispered, but may play a larger role in this divorce than anyone imagined. Back in January, during Wendy’s infamous hiatus from The Wendy Williams Show , police visited Wendy at home. According to the report made by the officers, they found Wendy in bed, covered up. She told them that she was recovering from a broken shoulder. The visit was because an anonymous caller claiming to work on Wendy’s show told the police that her husband may have been poisoning her. When they asked her if this was true, she teared up but denied it. Now, some fans have taken this to mean that Wendy is divorcing Kevin because he was slipping poison into her food. But other fan theories are more nuanced — and more likely sounding than an arsenic poisoning. It’s 2019, not 1940. Some believe that Kevin may have been deliberately enabling Wendy’s addiction, possibly in the hopes of getting all of her money. It has even been speculated that he did so because he knew that his affair and his newly fathered lovechild was about to blow up in his face. But we must stress that we do not know any of that, and that fan theories are not the same thing as official accusations from Wendy, let alone actual facts.

Sri Lanka Attacks: 290 Dead, 500 Injured, International Terror Group Believed To Be Responsible

The death toll has soared in Sri Lanka. Nearly 300 people killed, about 500 injured in coordinated bombings at churches and hotels on Easter Sunday. @IvanCNN is live from Colombo, Sri Lanka with the latest: https://t.co/IOhEzeQ5lX pic.twitter.com/qmfFVgzxkh — CNN (@CNN) April 22, 2019 Sri Lanka Death Toll Reaches 290 More details have been released about the Easter Sunday terror attacks in Sri Lanka. As previously reported a wave of bombings struck hotels and churches where suicide bombers detonated explosives. BBC reports that the government has blamed a little-known local jihadist group, National Thowheed Jamath for the attacks. So far 24 people have been arrested in connection with the attacks. Police now report that 500 people were injured. Sri Lankan authorities confirmed that they were warned about a bomb threat from National Thowheed Jamath two weeks ago. BBC also spoke with Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando who told them that the intelligence “never indicated it was going to be an attack of this magnitude”. “They were talking about isolated, one or two incidents. Not like this,” he said. He said, “all important departments of the police” were informed about the warning, but acknowledged that no action was taken. Of the 290 dead, three of them are the children of billionaire Danish fashion mogul Anders Holch Povlsen. CNN reports that Povlsen who owns Bestseller, an international clothing chain, and is the largest shareholder of the online clothing retailer Asos, lost three of his four children in Sunday’s attacks. “We can confirm that Anders lost three children in the attack,” Jesper Stubkier, Bestseller’s communications manager,  told CNN . The family is asking for privacy at this time. Three children of retail billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen were killed in the attacks in Sri Lanka on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for his company https://t.co/rqUMhwNbw8 pic.twitter.com/PKlgVJ0ByK — CNN (@CNN) April 22, 2019 Such sad, sad, news. We’re thinking of Povlsen and the people of Sri Lanka.

F**k 12: Black Oregon County Employee Settles $100,000 Lawsuit Over “Blue Lives Matter” And Racial Hostility

Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty Oregon County Employee Settles $100,000 “Blue Lives Matter” Lawsuit That’s right, give that sista all her coins. Pay her like you owe her for all the time that you hoe’d her. According to NYDailyNews Karimah Guion-Pledgure will be awarded a $100,000 settlement from her employer, Multnomah County, after she sued their a$$es for creating a racially hostile and insensitive environment just to appease some anti-Black cop lovers. Back in September of 2017, a probation officer who works in her office put up a big “Blue Lives Matter” flag on the wall. Karimah complained because obviously the flag is meant to mock, demean, insult, and otherwise diminish the “Black Lives Matter” mantra that aims to hold police accountable for all the Black people they often eagerly kill. Karimah says she was harassed as her co-workers argued that there was nothing derogatory about the flag. In response, since the supervisors would not force the man to take the flag down, Karimah put up photos of all the Black people who have died unfairly at the hands of police officers. A co-worker immediately complained but Karimah refused to remove the photos since the white man was not made to take his flag down. When the sign policy was changed to require smaller signage, the “blue lives matter” folks all brought smaller flags, and then left signs on Karimah’s “equity wall” that read “thanks a lot” and “bi*ch”. Real classy. After going on leave for weeks, Karimah decided to file a $420,000 lawsuit and eventually settled for $100,000 this week. Oregon Live reports that no signs at allowed at all in the office now. Karimah won AND got paid to leave. Nothing like the smell of white tears in the morning.

Reggie Bush Started GoFundMe For Nipsey Hussle’s Kids, Karen Civil Gets Him To Shut It Down At Family’s Behest

Read the original:

Source: Noel Vasquez / Getty The death of Nipsey Hussle has impacted many , even those that didn’t really know him at all. Case in point with Reggie Bush, the retired NFL athlete, felt the need to start a GoFundMe page to help the late rappers two children—but Nip’s business partner Karen Civil quickly shut that down. Bush announced he was starting the “Nipsey Legacy Fund” and kicked things off by pledging $10,000 hoping his followers and friends will help raise the other $90,000. While this was a noble act on his part, it would seem the former NFL running back did not have permission from Hussle’s family to start the GoFundMe page. On Saturday (Apr.13) Civil tweeted Bush asking him to remove the page telling the former New Orleans Saint that he was overstepping. She revealed that he did ask for permission, but the family said no, he went and did it anyway. Bush did remove the page but did not remove the Tweet from off his timeline sparking the business maven to tell him to take it down. “Please remove this tweet as this was privately asked of you already. The family nor Lauren requested this and you did it anyway” Bush replied back stating he only did it as an act of kindness. “Wait what???  Nah that’s actually INCORRECT check your facts what would I gain from this @ KarenCivil ?And this is the very last time I will speak on it out of RESPECT for everyone! God Bless you!” Civil retorted the kind gesture was appreciated but he should have also respected the family’s wishes. “I never spoke on what you had to gain, Simply asked you to remove the tweet, just like you did the gofundme. You asked prior to do this and was told no by family, but did it anyway. You never once spoke to Nip in the gym the many times you saw each other.” She continued, “I understand you’re motivated and want to help, but there are other ways. His family already asked you NOT to do this. People are literally grieving over a husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and someone who meant so much too so many people. This is not the time for this.” Bush did finally take down the Tweet, but he did point out he had someone’s permission to start the page. “My time is already busy as it is I would never even put forth the effort to take on a project like this unless I got someones blessing!!,” he said via Instagram. “Come on now! That just sound crazy! Please CHECK THE FACTS! And YES I didn’t know him that had zero to do with the cause? It was about doing something positive and giving back and paying homage to a man that stood for so much and was a leader in the community and over came the obstacles of the hood and made it big while never losing sight of where he came from! That is hard to do and a lot of young black kids never make it out of that!” Karen Civil was instrumental in putting together Hussle’s beautiful memorial service at the Staple’s Center. If anyone would know what the family of the late rapper wants it would be her. Still, RIP Nipsey. — Photo: Noel Vasquez / Getty

Body Cam Footage Shows CMPD Officer Shooting, Killing Danquirs Franklin

Link:

Source: Federico Candoni / EyeEm / Getty In a video released Monday,  Danquirs Franklin  appeared to be placing a gun on the ground at the time a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer fatally shot him last month. Per The Charlotte Observer , CMPD released body-worn camera footage of the March 25 confrontation between Franklin and Officer Wende Kerl. Kerl shot and killed Franklin in the parking lot of a west Charlotte area Burger King. The body cam footage shows that she and another officer instructed Franklin to put the gun down more than 15 times in the roughly 40 seconds before he was shot. The gun is not visible during that span of the video. Franklin appeared to have pulled out the gun and was holding it, though he was not pointing it at anyone before Kerl fired her gun. The 27-year-old Franklin is shown squatting next to an open car door. Another man sits in the passenger seat and Kerl is standing less than a car-length away from Franklin. The male officer yells at him to put the gun down and Kerl yells at Franklin as well. Moments later, Kerl fires two shots, killing Franklin. Moments after he’s shot, he turns his face toward the officers and told them, “You told me to…” The video cuts out as he slumps over. It is all the body camera footage that was recorded at the shooting. According to 911 calls, two women called and said they saw a man with a gun at the Burger King. “A customer came up here and he walked behind the counter to fight an employee,” said the first 911 caller, who was inside the restaurant. “He got a gun! He got a gun!” she said, adding that he was pointing it at employees. It is unclear if this latest officer-involved shooting will evoke memories of the violent protests of 2016 after the killing of  Keith Lamont Scott and how no charges were filed against the officer involved. However, community activists are cautious. “It’s sad it had to take the city being afraid of another uprising for them to really hear us,” Kass Ottley told The Observer . “The reception was really different. It’s a tiny step. There’s so much to get done and we’re running out of time.” RELATED:  White Police Officer Who Shot And Killed Terence Crutcher Will Face No Civil Rights Charges RELATED:  Ex-NFL Seattle Seahawks Player Shot To Death Over Parking Spot RELATED:  Fayetteville Police Find Man Shot To Death In Vehicle

F**k 12: Chicago Cops Caught On Camera Dragging Female Student Down Stairs, Punching, And Tasing Her

Source: picture alliance / Getty Chicago Police Seen Punching Female High School Student The Chicago police, fresh off of the f**kery that was the Jussie Smollett case, have found themselves in the midst of yet another situation that exemplifies why people don’t trust them. According to ABC13 , a newly released video shows an incident at Marshall High School in which officers are seen punching, kicking, and dragging a 16-year-old girl, Dnigma Howardm, down a flight on stairs. On the footage you can see Dnigma talking to a friend as officers loom in the background. When the friend leaves they immediately run up on Dnigma and push her to the ground. Video from another angle shows the officers dragging Howard down the stairs, and at the bottom one officer is holding her arm while the other is holding her leg. “In the video you can see they pull her by the leg down the stairs, the whole flight of stairs,” Dnigma’s father Laurentio Howard. One cop on the video appears to both punch and kick the teenaged girl while she’s on the ground. Dnigma’s father had been called to the school to pick her up after she was kicked out of class of having her phone out. He was on hand watching Chicago police handle his daughter like this. “I’m standing downstairs by the front door and she said, ‘I’m going to get her to come downstairs. She’s going home right now,’” he said. “I couldn’t believe I seen two sworn police officers of Chicago abusing my daughter like this and I’m standing right there watching them do this and can’t do anything about it,” he recalled of the incident. F**k 12.

Amber Heard: Johnny Depp Is an Alcoholic "Monster" Who’s Jealous of James Franco

When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce in 2017, both parties signed non-disclosure agreements barring them from speaking about the relationship or the breakup in interviews. But some stories are too scandalous to stay buried, and a series of lawsuits have resulted in the strange tale of one of Hollywood’s most disastrous marriages being dredged up time and time again. In December of 2018, Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she referenced the abuse she had allegedly suffered during her marriage. Though she never mentioned him by name in the piece, Depp filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard , alleging that she had violated the NDA. Last week saw the release of court documents in which Depp claimed that Heard tried to cut off his finger , amongst other allegations. Now it’s Heard’s turn to return fire, and based on a filing obtained by Page Six , she’s certainly not holding back. In the documents, Heard claims Depp “would become a totally different person, often delusional and violent. We called that version of Johnny, ‘the Monster.’” She goes on to detail a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, during which Depp “began to throw objects at me” after becoming infuriated by news that she had filmed a romantic scene with actor James Franco. “Instead of reacting to his behavior, I simply moved seats,” she said. “That didn’t stop him. He provocatively pushed a chair at me as I walked by, yelled at me, and taunted me by yelling out the name ‘James Franco.’”  We racked our brains for a scene in Pineapple Express in which Heard and Franco hook up before remembering that the actors also appeared together in a second film, 2015’s The Adderall Diaries . Apparently, Depp had forgotten that he was married to an actress and was upset to learn that Heard and Franco kissed on camera. Heard goes on to claim that Depp “picked another fight with me” at the couple’s apartment in LA in 2015. She says the actor “threw another decanter at me, knocked items around the room, and punched a wall,” and alleges he “slapped me hard, grabbed me by my hair and dragged me from a stairwell to the office to the living to the kitchen to the bedroom and then to the guest room.” Heard claims that when she told Depp she wanted “to leave him, and that I would call the police if he ever touched me again,” the actor responded by  “pushing me” and “head-butted me in my face.” Depp denies that he ever behaved abusively toward Heard. In a statement, Depp’s lawyers argue that he “never abused Ms. Heard, adding: “Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016. They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career.” Heard’s attorneys fired back, claiming that Depp’s lawsuit is not about the $50 million, but is rather part of a larger campaign to protect Depp’s reputation by preventing Heard from telling her story. “This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced,” they wrote in court documents. “Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.” Needless to say, it looks as though this situation will only get uglier from here. We’ll continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Johnny Depp Opens Up About Drugs, Debt, Divorce In Bonkers Interview
