Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Did Usher Create A Burner Account? Usher has had quite a rough couple of years. Of course, he’s been the center of a scandal over allegedly transmitting herpes to unsuspecting women, which hasn’t been great. Like any artist would, he’s tried to press on with new music to diffuse the situation but that didn’t work because his album was widely considered a weed plate . Damn. So what is a man to do to defend his piece of work? Well, according to the internet he creates a burner account that hops in everyone’s mentions defending it. Usher got a burner pic.twitter.com/PLDoOBpWt7 — Lonnie Walker FanAcc (@FreeeJared) October 18, 2018 Twitter sleuths were quick to point out that this account was tweeting defenses of the album and herpes (!!!). They deducted that it had to be Usher pulling a Kevin Durant to try to get people off his back. Usher’s camp, to their defense, has vehemently denied that the now-deleted account is in any way tied to the singer, but Twitter is not convinced. Take a look…
(Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images) A Houston Father Uses Kindness To Combat His Son’s Bully A Houston father took a unique and unconventional approach in helping his son deal with a bully. Aubrey Fontenot decided to sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation with a young man that had been allegedly bullying his 8 year old son at school after the school failed to step in and do something about the situation. After a short talk, he learned the reason as to why the young man was lashing out. “I came with the energy that he was ready to receive,” Fontenot said. “Because a lot of times, just because you want to talk to me doesn’t mean I want to talk to you. But I think he just wanted, he was ready to talk to me. He knew that I cared. He saw it in my eyes.”

According to ABCNews , some wilted, WASPy woman who works as a “field marshal”, whatever-the-f**k THAT is, alerted deputies to a Black man who was allegedly harrassing a referee. Here’s what ACTUALLY happened. The referee made what was descibed as a bad call, the father ran out to tell his son not to worry about it and play ball. This Zimmerman-esque field heffa decided that she had to slather her mayo mindset all over the situation by intervening. The unidentified father told the field heffa that he wasn’t talking to the ref, but rather his son. The father even offered to rectify the situation on his own accord to avoid trouble. “They had a bad call with my son and … I said, ‘Hey, the ref was right.’ She thought I was yelling at the ref. So, she came over and I was like, ‘No ma’am, I was yelling at my son. Nobody else,’” the father is heard telling deputies who responded to the scene. This miserable bish STILL called the cops. At this point another white woman, Ginger Williams, began filming the father’s interaction with the cops because she heard the field heffa utter the classic phrase that white women say when interacting with Black men: “I no longer feel safe due to your threatening behavior.” Luckily, Williams and several other parents spoke to the cop to assure him that the field heffa was full of s#!t. Ultimately the father was not detained and all was well. But imagine how far left this COULD have gone…
(Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images) Cops Called After Rza Allegedly Yelled At Hospital Staff According to TMZ , RZA reportedly rushed to an emergency room this weekend seeking medical attention for his young son and allegedly stirred up a little trouble in the process. Though the details of his child’s condition have yet to be revealed, by Rza’s demeanor it sounds like the situation was pretty serious. Reportedly the Wu-Tang rapper became increasingly angry and unhappy with the level of care his son was receiving in the ER and eventually started screaming at the hospital staff on duty at the time. RZA’s temper allegedly became so aggressive that a supervisor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was forced to call the police to deescalate the situation. But when police arrived on the scene, RZA had reportedly already calmed down and police left the hospital without issuing a citation. RZA and his son are still reportedly at the hospital.

It’s a sad day for Jersey Shore star and reality TV icon Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. As we reported earlier, Sorrentino has been sentenced to eight months in prison in connection with a string of legal troubles that began back in 2014. At that time, Mike and his older brother Marc were indicted for failure to pay taxes on $8.9 million in earnings. Additionally, the brothers were accused of covering up their crimes by filing false tax returns in connection to Mike’s business ventures. In April of 2017, Mike was hit with additional charges of tax evasion and structuring funds to avoid currency transaction reports. Under the terms of his plea deal, Sorrentino was only forced to plead guilty to one count of tax evasion, but that proved to be enough to land him behind bars. Mike’s attorneys argued that he played a minimal role in the financial conspiracy masterminded by his brother (who has already been sentenced to two years in prison). They also noted that Sorrentino has worked hard to overcome the substance abuse issues that plagued him as a young adult. Speaking on his own behalf, Sorrentino made a heartfelt plea for leniency that ultimately fell on deaf ears. “I am deeply sorry. I will forever regret the decisions I made,” he told the court. “I overcame my demons in 34 months,” Sorrentino added. “I was in almost a full year of treatment. I lost everything in a short period of time. I was immature. Everything came overnight.” Sorrentino joked that he “doesn’t even speed anymore” before listing the ways in which he’s served his community over the course of the past three years. “I have a new team of professionals helping me. I work at two rehabs to share my story,” he said. “I volunteer at the police department. I warn kids of the dangers of substance abuse. I want to continue to be a positive role model in my community.” But despite Mike’s obvious remorse, his good works, and the endorsement of his Shore castmates — all of whom were present in the courtroom today — the judge denied Sorrentino’s request for probation and a fine and his only penalties. In addition to jail time, Mike will be forced to serve 500 hours of community service and pay a $10,000 fine within 30 days. He has already paid $123,913 in restitution. There’s no word yet on when Mike will begin serving his sentence, but it currently looks as though he will not be appearing in the planned third season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation .

Tonight, millions of Americans will tune in to see their favorite gang of guidos return to their original stomping ground as Jersey Shore Family Vacation relocates to Seaside Heights. And tomorrow morning, one of those hard-partying fist-pumpers will go before a judge and learn his fate. Yes, as you may recall, Mike Sorrentino pled guilty to tax fraud back in January. Under the terms of his plea deal, the Situation faces five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. Sorrentino is due to be sentenced at 11:30 on Friday morning. Legal experts who have followed the case say it’s unlikely that he’ll receive the full five year maximum — but he’ll almost certainly do some jail time. Back in February of 2014, Mike and his brother Marc were indicted for failing to pay taxes on $8.9 million in earnings. They were accused of covering up their crimes by filing false tax returns in connection to Mike’s business ventures. Mike was hit with additional charges of tax evasion and structuring funds to avoid currency transaction reports in April of 2017. He pled guilty to one such charge as part of his plea deal, with the understanding that doing so would likely land him behind bars. Needless to say, Sorrentino has quite a bit working against him. But there’s also a lot that might help him in the eyes of a sentencing judge. Mike entered rehab and got sober back in 2015, and he got engaged to Lauren Pesce in April. The Sitch has been on his best behavior on the current season of Shore , and you can bet his lawyers will remind the judge of the many ways in which he’s turned his life around. In the days leading up to his sentencing Mike, has celebrated his sobriety and prayed for a beneficial resolution to his legal woes. “God grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly,” Sorrentino tweeted this week. Sorrentino is due to marry Pesce in November, but no matter what happens tomorrow, he won’t immediately be taken into custody, so prison shouldn’t interfere with those plans. Our thoughts go out to Mike and his family during this intensely stressful time. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?
