Tiffany Haddish: Watch Her Roast Kris Jenner, Thirst After Chris Pratt!

We already know who won big at the MTV Movie & TV Awards . But there was more going on than awards, folks. Tiffany Haddish was the hilarious host, and she had some great lines as she roasted everyone from the Kardashians to the Stranger Things kids. It's funny. You might not trust her around food after this, though. Take a look. Tiffany Haddish is quite a character. Some of her claims and analogies are a little weird, but they always get a laugh. She starts off by talking about some racial milestones. “This has been a year of firsts for black people,” Haddish says. “I'm the first black woman to host the MTV Movie and TV Awards.” That particular milestone is long overdue. ” Black Panther ,” she mentions. “Is the first African American movie to make a billion dollars.” That was an excellent movie. One of Marvel's best, in fact. “And The Quiet Place ,” Haddish continues. “Is the first film to scare black people out of talking in movie theaters.” She is making a joke, there, about a stereotype that portrays African Americans as vocally engaging with films as they are happening. “I'm always excited to see the Kardashians.” “Hiiii,” Haddish says, waving at Kim Kardashian, who is wearing problematic braids , and Kris Jenner, whose commanding presence is always welcome. “That family,” Haddish continues. “Is basically the Star Wars franchise.” That's true in lots of senses. They're successful, they're an institution in the entertainment industry, and they can also be very controversial. Also not everyone likes them. “They make a ton of money, a new one is always popping up, and they’re ruled by a bossy overlord who sleeps in a mask and she loves black men.” Those first two are very true. The third, though? First of all, Emperor Sheev Palpatine would be the “bossy overlord.” I have personally made plenty of comparisons between Kris Jenner and Palpatine — all favorable, of course. Sleeping in a mask sounds like a reference to Darth Vader (or maybe to Kylo Ren, though he hopefully doesn't sleep in that ridiculous thing). We're not prepared to rule out that either Palpatine or Darth Vader fetishized black male Humans, but that is certainly above and beyond the realm of Star Wars canon. Plenty of people were scratching their heads. But hey, it was funny. Haddish then turned her attention to another target. “And you know who else I love?” Haddish asks. “Zendaya.” As the young people say, big mood . “She taught me how to model,” the host informs the audience. “She taught me how to model,” she repeats. “And I taught her how to grapefruit.” If you're fortunate enough to not be aware, to grapefruit involves slicing a grapefruit ring and using it as an improvised sex toy to enhance the experience while performing fellatio. (Please don't do this; it's a terrible idea, particularly if it is followed by sex, where the fruit juices could ruin a vagina's pH balance) “What?!” Haddish says in a mock-defensive tone. “She's 21, now. She's a grown woman.” That she is. This joke would not be funny, otherwise. But it is very funny. “You gotta know how to do that if you want a husband,” Haddish explains. She also has other celebrity guests on her mind. “Seth Rogen is here,” Haddish announces. Seth, we should note, is sporting a full beard. “I like you, Seth,” Haddish says. “You're my favorite bearded white man since Abraham Lincoln.” That's cute. And then she moves on. “The Jonas Brother is here,” Haddish announces, to great applause. She is referring, of course, to Nick. He is famously attractive and the entire audience immediately steels themselves for whatever sex joke she will inevitably make. “Nick Jonas is going to tear it up with Mustard,” Haddish says, referring to the musician beside Nick. “Which is also how I want him to tear it up with me.” While we appreciate her enthusiasm for Nick, we wouldn't recommend involving mustard in sex. That would be worse than grapefruit. Haddish also talked about Riverdale . “Apparently, Betty dates Jughead because he's named after his penis.” (To be honest, that was a reminder to me that actual teens watch Riverdale ; everyone I know who talks about it is well into their twenties, at least ) She also had thirst for more audience members than just Nick Jonas. “I get to flirt with Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation ,” Haddish brags. “And Chris Pratt from Guardians of the Galaxy !” True. “Hey Chris,” she says. “I've got a galaxy you can guard.” It's not subtle. Honestly, it was much funnier when she was trying to bang Leonardo DiCaprio .

XXXTentacion "Wanted" to Die Young For Attention, Source Claims

On Monday, the music world was stunned by the news that the rapper known as XXXTentacion was shot dead at the age of 20. The controversial artist, whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy was leaving a motorcycle dealership when an unidentified assailant approached his car and shot him several times. Onfroy was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital. His gunman remains at large. News of Onfroy’s death received a mixed reaction on social media due to the abusive behavior that characterized his life. Many young artists have courted self-destruction, but few have behaved as violently toward others as XXXTentacion. Despite his youth, the allegations against Onfroy are too numerous to list here. The most appalling include his sustained, methodical abuse of his pregnant girlfriend and his near-fatal strangulation of a gay, whom Onfroy appears to have attacked for no other reason than his sexual orientation. Onfroy often rapped about suicide in his songs, but his death almost certainly came as a surprise. But that doesn’t mean it was totally unexpected to those who knew him best. “XXXTentacion immortalized Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. and wanted to die young just like them,” a source connected to the rapper tells Radar Online. “He craved attention.” The insider says that Onfroy’s primary ambition in life was to be talked about and remembered. He was reportedly willing to do anything to achieve this goal including, possibly, dying young. “He wanted to have people talking about him, his career and his potential just like Pac and BIG. He was that dude who didn’t give a f-ck about anything,” the source claims. “He has no regrets in life. He was him and loved himself with all his flaws.” The insider says that in addition to glamorizing suicide, Onfroy often instigated violent conflicts , seemingly with the intention of going out in a blaze of glory. It may be quite some time before we have any new information about the identity of Onfroy’s murderer. But those who knew the rapper best say they won’t be surprised if it was someone he knew well. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and update you as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Pete Davidson Confirms Ariana Grande Engagement, Shows Off Ring!

So, uh … this whole thing with Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson … It’s a roller coaster ride, and we are 100% here for it. Many, many people think that these two crazy kids are moving too fast , and obviously that’s true. Looking at their relationship timeline will likely make you a little nauseous. But you know how anytime you hear a story about a couple getting engaged fast, and someone pops in with “well, when you know, you know,” or “my grandparents were married twelve minutes after the first met” or something along those lines? Maybe Ariana and Pete just know, you know? Maybe one day, they will be those grandparents in that story, just with more tattoos and more weed. Anyway, today we’re going to be talking about their engagement , because Pete just confirmed it with an Instagram post! He shared this adorable picture: For the caption, he wrote “u know what you’d dream it be like? it’s better than that,” which is really sweet. But let’s be real, nobody is looking at the caption when there’s that ring on Ariana’s finger. It looks like a huge pear-shaped diamond, and it is SO PRETTY, right?!  The jewelry designer that made the ring, Greg Yuna, did a quick little interview about it, and he revealed that the ring is just over three carats, and Pete paid $93,000 for it. “Pete called me at the end of May and said ‘Look, I’m getting a ring. This is what I want,'” he recalled. “And I told him I had the right ring for him.” He said that “He didn’t tell me who it was for but told me to keep it a secret. He didn’t tell me anything about it.” OK, so that’s really interesting — let’s add this little tidbit to the timeline. On May 9th, Ariana announced that she and Mac Miller had broken up , and on May 16th, Pete revealed that he’d broken up with his girlfiend, Cazzie David. A couple of days after that, the rumors really began about a possible relationship between Ariana and Pete, and on May 30th, he shared the first photo of the two of them together, seemingly confirming the rumors. And right around that time was when Pete had the ring made. The very, very first thing that made people think these two could be together was when Ariana attended a Saturday Night Live after-party on May 12th. But when you consider their previous relationships and when those ended, they couldn’t have been together for more than a few weeks when Pete got the idea to propose. And man, how crazy is that? Judging by the comments on Pete’s photo, it looks like the vast majority of people are excited for the engagement, which is nice to see. Besides a few good-natured jokes about how fast things are moving, most of Twitter seems supportive of their love, too. So we’re really doing this thing, huh? Ariana and Pete really are going to get married. Judging by everything else, we’ll be back with wedding details sometime in the next fifteen minutes!

Southern Charm: How Much Are the Stars Paid?

Southern Charm is one of Bravo's most captivating shows. These wealthy southerners in Charleston, South Carolina air their dirty laundry before the cameras. Their drama, their escapades, their lifestyles, and their ridiculous personalities make for some amazing entertainment. But how much, exactly, do the stars of Southern Charm actually get paid for their trouble? A lot of them make the same amount, but there are a few special cases worth mentioning. And, thanks to a report by RadarOnline , we have the details. Check it out: 1. Starring on a reality show is work The Southern Charm cast already have money. Like Real Housewives, the cast is chosen in part for its affluence. But how much do you have to pay a group of dramatic rich people to air their dirty laundry? 2. How much is, say, Chelsea Meissner paid? According to RadarOnline, ALL of the stars of Southern Charm are paid the same, flat rate of $25,000. But it’s a little complicated for a few of them. 3. So … what is that, per season? Southern Charm airs 15 episodes per season. So at $25,000 for a single episodes, that’s $375,000 in a season. Not bad for Cameran Eubanks and her costars, though some Real Housewives rake in over $1 million per season. 4. Yes, this even applies to Craig Conover Conover, who talks like a frat guy at times … and acts like a frat guy at times … is a reformed playboy who is back to his old tricks again. He is paid $25,000 per episode to just be himself on camera. 5. Kathryn Dennis is in the same boat She makes $25,000. But a couple of others, however, are special cases. 6. Shep Rose is where things get complicated Don’t get us wrong, Shep makes the same $25,000 per episode as everyone else. BUT he also has something else going for him, and we don’t just mean his inexplicable Owen Wilson vibe. View Slideshow

Justin Bieber Accused of Hurling N-Word During Fight In Shocking Lawsuit

You may have read that headline and thought to yourself, Hey wasn’t Justin Bieber already accused of using the N-word ? Short answer: yes. Long answer: Yes, and there was video evidence, but Bieber has a long history of being awful, yet somehow he always gets a pass. The latest accusation against Bieber comes from a man named Tobias Cannon who claims that he got into an altercation with Bieber at the 2016 NBA finals in Cleveland. According to a lawsuit filed this week, Bieber physically assaulted Cannon, but the Canadian businessman declined to retaliate. Cannon says that Bieber shouted the n-word at him as a form of humiliation. “Justin Bieber has a history of inappropriate behavior,” Cannon’s lawyers write. They go on to say that Bieber is “fortunate” Cannon did “not engage in mutual combat,”  That’s some top-notch shade, Cannon’s lawyers. Justin’s longtime manager Scooter Braun has already come to his client’s defense with a lengthy online statement. “Justin Bieber has done a lot of stupid things in his past but what he has also done is apologize and own those mistakes,” Braun writes. “This most recent claim against him is completely false and a fabrication from a man who tried to push for money for the last several years.” Braun continues: “He never said these things before because they never happened. This is a smear tactic to get money and it’s gross. “So I repeat… these statements again Justin are completely false and we won’t be scared or blackmailed. This man should be ashamed of himself. Real racism exists.. but it doesn’t apply here. Just horrible.” We’re not saying Braun is definitely lying or Bieber definitely acted like a colossal douche basket at the finals (although, probably and probably would be our guesses), but it’s pretty wild that he’s claiming Justin would never use that word. Did we mention he’s been caught gleefully saying it on video on multiple occasions? Cannon’s lawyers have already fired back, saying: “This lawsuit was not filed for publicity. If that was the case, it would have been filed at the time the assault was first reported.” It may not have been filed for publicity — but it’s likely to result in a lot of bad press for the Biebs.

Jen Harley: Yes, I Cheated on Ronnie, But…

Before we go any further, allow us to say up front: There are no winner in this situation. There are no sides to take between Jen Harley and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro. Both really need to go away and figure out some sort of amicable relationship for the sake of their daughter and that’s pretty much where we stand on their never-ending, ridiculous, scandalous drama. Still, we’re obligated to report on it. So here we go… During this week’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation , Ronnie told his roommates that he didn’t completely trust Harley because she had cheated in the past. (The installment was filmed months ago, remember, prior to Harley giving birth to Ronnie’s daughter in early April.) “You’re nervous she’s going to cheat on you?” Deena asked Ronnie at one point. “Yeah,” he replied. “Because she did before?” Snooki follow. “Yeah,” he said again. The thing is, of course, Ronnie cheated on Harley on muliple occasions himself; shamelessly so, as we witnessed on previous installments of the Jersey Shore reboot. “Nobody’s perfect. I did my dirt too,” Ronnie did acknowledge on this new episode, adding as an excuse: “But everything I did was a reaction to her actions. I’m also not used to being with someone like myself. Like, I met my match.” That much has been clear by the very public fights Jen and Ronnie have engaged in of late. Before we recount those, however, let’s hear from Harley, shall we? Is Ronnie at least telling the truth? Did she sleep with another man behind his back? “I’m sure he’s referring to when we were dating for about a month or two,” Harley tells Us Weekly , confessing to her sins, but making it sound like they shouldn’t really count. She continued: “We hadn’t established a real relationship; my ex came back around. I had mixed feelings at the time. We just got out of a four-year relationship.” A mere month after becoming parents, Jen and Ronnie WENT OFF ON EACH OTHER via social media . “Note to self: Can’t turn a natural-born HO, into a HOUSEWIFE,” Ronnie said to open this back-and-forth several weeks ago, adding of his baby mama: If you find them in the gutter, leave them in the gutter.” He followed this up with another post that read as follows: “If your significant other keeps sex videos of their ex, shouldn’t they show enough respect to delete them, esp. after being in a new relationship for over a year?” Ronnie also referred to Harley as a ” cum dumpster .” This happened a few weeks after she gave birth to his child. View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro Brawls with Girlfriend on Instagram Live, Apologizes to Fans After Breakup Harley, for her part, proved that she could give as well as she could take. “Can’t turn a coke head into a father!” she fired back, later adding: “When your man goes all Rob Kardashian on you,” accompanied by a laugh-cry emoji. As you can see, these two bring out the worst in each other. And the worst of it all was captued on camera: Ronnie Magro Gets Into Altercation with Jen Harley In her chat with Us Weekly, Harley says her cheating with her ex is what got Ronnie all worked up. “This is all part of the Instagram fight we got into because of this incident,” she admits. “When I came clean about this, he came clean about three times he hooked up with other girls in the same time period. “We decided we wanted to be together and work though this and not to ever do it again.” This is what Harley says… but consider what she allegedly did in Las Vegas on June 7. She surprised her man in diabolical fashion, an insider tells this same tabloid, while was shooting scenes for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2. “Ronnie and Jen have been fighting over their daughter,” this source said of the recent fight, explaining: “Ronnie has been filming the show in Vegas the last couple of days and Jen wouldn’t tell him where their daughter is. She showed up to the hotel where they were filming. “Jen lunged, spit and shoved Ronnie. Hotel security got involved, who then called the Las Vegas police department.” Sigh . It bears repeating AGAIN that these two have a very young child together. They really need to work something out.

Bill Cosby Fires His Entire Legal Team; What’s His Game?

As we all know, Bill Cosby is super guilty . By which we mean that he was found guilty by a jury of his peers for multiple counts in the 2004 sexual assault against Andrea Constand. He is due to be sentenced in three months … but he has fired his entire high-profile legal team. What is he thinking? Bill Cosby still has three months to go before he is sentenced for all three counts of aggrivated indecent assault of Andrea Constand. He remains under house arrest until that time. It is quite the surprise to learn that he has dismissed his press-friendly attorney, Tom Mesereau, whom he brought on board to defend him in 2017. Mesereau is famous for having defended Michael Jackson, but his courtroom strategy wasn’t enough to hoodwink the jury. Perhaps Cosby is unwilling to continue paying the man who failed to get him an acquittal. Cosby isn’t going to represent himself at his two-day sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for September 24-25. He has instead hired Pennsylvania attorney Joseph P. Green Jr. to fulfill that role. Green is an established lawyer, but not nearly as high-profile as Cosby’s previous representation. It may be that Cosby simply wants an attorney but is no longer willing to shell out big bucks for high priced representation for another three months — not if he doesn’t believe that it will change anything at his sentencing. Some have wondered if he may be hoping that, by acquiring a new attorney, the date of his sentencing hearing might be pushed back. Cosby is 80 years old, and will be 81 after his July 12 birthday. Some wonder if, comfortable while under house arrest, he is pushing to delay his incarceration as long as possible. As we said, some find this move surprising, but it is actually consistent with Cosby’s recent history with attorneys. In July of 2017, Cosby’s jury deadlocked the first time around. After that mistrial was declared , Cosby fired his attorneys Brian McMonagle and Angela Agrusa in order to hire Mesereau. As a result, his new trial date was pushed back from the autumn of 2017 to the spring of 2018. The #MeToo movement began later in 2017, making millions of people more aware that yes, sometimes the people who seem nice on camera are actually sex monsters who’ve gotten away with it all for years. In fact, potential jurors had months to soak in story after story about famous, seemingly charming men who terrorized women and used their wealth and influence to cover it up. In light of that, many wonder if Cosby wishes that his second trial had been much, much earlier. But this new shift in his legal representation might might that he ends up pushing his sentencing another few months. Perhaps all of the way to 2019. It is difficult to tell if this is part of a legal strategy, though. McMonagle and Agrusa themselves had replaced his previous attorney, Marty Singer, in 2015. Maybe Cosby is just being grouchy or quickly grows dissatisfied with his attorneys. It is very difficult to tell what exactly is going on in that man’s mind right now. Aside from, one assumes, fear. Some rumors suggest that Cosby may need another attorney for a very different courtroom in the near future. Is Camille Cosby planning to divorce him? In public, his wife says that his conviction was “mob justice” and somehow the fault of racism. 12 jurors of his peers doesn’t sound much like “mob justice” to us. And if racism was at play behind that guilty verdict, then why didn’t the jury in 2017 convict? But if she is privately planning to leave him, he could find himself facing off in two court battles at the same time. Would he retain a divorce attorney for any longer than he holds onto defense attorneys? Who knows, with that guy. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: What Led to His Arrest

Kellen Winslow II: Arrested on 9 Charges, Including Rape and Kidnapping

On Thursday, reports came out that Kellen Winslow II had been arrested — again — in San Diego, without really giving much detail about what he had allegedly done this time. His previous arrests were for marijuana possession and burglary. This time, things are looking much more serious. Winslow faces 9 different criminal charges, including kidnapping and multiple accusations of rape. He could face life in prison. First, here are the charges that WInslow II is facing , according to  TMZ ‘s report. -Two counts of kidnapping with the intent to commit rape -Two counts of forcible rape -One count of forcible sodomy -One count of forcible oral copulation -Two counts of residential burglary -One count of indecent exposure We know that those last two don’t even sound like they’re worth mentioning in the context of those other, very serious charges. As we said earlier, if he is convicted of all of these charges, he could be facing life in prison. From what law enforcement officials have told TMZ Sports , Winslow was arrested by the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Division. The arrest went down at 1:05pm on Thursday. The San Diego District Attorney informed TMZ of what happened. “A warrant was issued this morning for Kellen Winslow II’s arrest,” the D.A. revealed. “And he was taken into custody by San Diego Sheriff’s Deputies Thursday afternoon.” (Of all of the tattoos that Kellen Winslow II has accumulated over the years, he says that this Frederick Douglass quote is one that he does not regret or intend to have removed) The 34-year-old professional athlete played football for the NFL from 2004 to 2013. Now, he has been placed into police custody at the Vista Detention Facility, a San Diego county jail. In the mean time, a search warrant has been carried out upon his residence. Winslow has been married to his wife, Janelle, since 2006. Son Jalen Maximus Winslow was born in February of 2011. Daughter Juliana Arielle Winslow was born in August of 2013. On June 7 of 2018, just a week before Winslow’s arrest for these very serious charges, he was arrested fleeing an Encinitas, California mobile home park. At the time, he was only charged with felony first degree burglary. The exact accusations against him remain unclear, as does the timeline for how the alleged burglary connects to … everything else. But these are deeply disturbing and disgusting allegations. It is believed that they come from at least two different women, but a lot of details are still up in the air. We imagine that we will all know more very soon as this sickening story unfolds. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired? Our hearts go out to any victims of sexual violence in this case and beyond. Sex crimes are some of the most vicious and evil deeds that a person can commit, and recovery for survivors can take a lifetime. We also extend our sympathies to Winslow’s wife and children. This week, their lives changed forever through no fault of their own. Many people have already taken to social media to express their sadness that Janelle and her children are caught up in alleged crimes that they have not committed.

Chris Hardwick: Ousted from Nerdist Amidst Sexual Misconduct Charges

We hate to say it, but… Yep, him too. In the wake of horrifying accusations against Chris Hardwick , Nerdist Industries – the content company founded this television host and personality – has severed all ties with the comedian. The breaking news comes about one day after actress Chloe Dykstra accused an ex-boyfriend (who she did not name, yet who everyone assumed to be Hardwick) of abhorrent behavior during her time dating him. “Chris Hardwick had no operational involvement with Nerdist for the two years preceding the expiration of his contract in December 2017,” said the company via statement on Friday, adding: “He no longer has any affiliation with Legendary Digital Networks. “The company has removed all reference to Mr. Hardwick even as the original Founder of Nerdist pending further investigation.” Nerdist also posted the following message on Twitter, which aims to assist those who have been a victim of abuse. In an essay written on Medium titled “Rose-Colored Glasses: A Confession,” Chloe Dykstra, a 29-year old actress who is the daughter of an ex-baseball player, outlined an allegedly abusive relationship with an unnamed ex-boyfriend that she endured in her early ’20s. During this romance, Dykstra claims she suffered “long-term abuse,” sexual assault and career blacklisting. Early in this relationship, Dykstra (pictured below) alleged that there were “rules” established by her lover that she had to follow, including reserving her nights for him… not having close male friends… not drinking alcohol … and not talking in public places out of fear people were listening due to his celebrity. She wrote in this essay that, after the two started dating, she once turned down sex because she wasn’t feeling well. Simple and understandable, right? Not to this man.  “He responded, ‘I just want to remind you, the reason my last relationship didn’t work out was because of the lack of sex.’ It was a veiled threat. I succumbed,” she wrote, expounding: “Every night, I laid there for him, occasionally in tears. He called it ‘starfishing.’ He thought the whole idea was funny.” Totally and completely disgusting. Again, Dykstra did not name Hardwick. However, she Liked the Tweet of an Internet user who linked to her her story with the caption, “Chris Hardwick is trash.” In her essay, the actress also explains that she was referring to a man nearly 20 years older who went from “a podcaster to a powerhouse CEO of his own company.” This is a picture of Hardwick with Dykstra: ” I made the choice to accept his controlling behavior, as he’d just left his long-term girlfriend and I assumed that he was going through some serious emotional discomfort,” she wrote. “This was a huge mistake.” Dykstra wrote about that she pondered suicide multiple times and had reached the lowest point in her life when she was looking over the 101 freeway while standing on an overpass. After three years, she ultimately left Hardwick for someone else. In response, she claimed this boyfriend contacted companies she worked with to get her fired by threatening to never work with them. Moreover, she said an unnamed woman she had trusted helped destroy her friendships. At 25 years old, Dykstra said she was blacklisted. Chloe ended her post by saying she is now in a “much better place” and: “This story, post, whatever this is, serves as both closure for me as I say farewell to my twenties and stumble my way into my thirties, and it serves as a warning for every single one of you, regardless of gender… “Please, please, keep an eye out for those red flags.” Hardwick has not yet responded to this story. He’s the latest in a long line of celebrities to be accused of sexual harassment, assault or misconduct. We’ve listed many of them below: View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired?

Stevie J Lost His $1.3 Million Child Support Appeal; Next Stop, Jail?!

Stevie J is in major trouble, and we’re not even talking about his alleged assault on Erica Mena at the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reunion. He has lost his appeal over $1.3 million in child support that he owes. Is he going to end up behind bars? We know that hip hop artists sometimes earn increased social credibility (“street cred”) from imprisonment, but heading to jail for being a deadbeat dad  … probably doesn’t qualify. Stevie J was “found guilty of knowingly withholding child support payments for his son and daughter over 18 years.” That could cost him — seven figures, to be exact. And Bossip reports that he has lost his latest appeal. The appeal itself was an oddity, causing his first lawyer to quit working the case, citing that he had essentially no chance of winning and that it was a fool’s errand to try. Stevie J persisted, believing that the ruling was “unfair,” even though he agreed to the payment in February of 2017. Here’s where it gets weirder. Stevie J opted to represent himself in his appeal. If you genuinely cannot afford an attorney to handle your appeal, that’s fine. Otherwise, try to avoid representing yourself in court over anything more significant than a parking ticket. And it turns out that the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star didn’t exactly miss his calling. According to court documents, he “let deadline after deadline pass on the case without any action.” Which is why the judge dismissed this appeal. But will Stevie J go to jail after being found guilty of knowingly not paying child support to the tune of $1.3 million? It doesn’t look like it. Reports say that he avoided prison when he agreed to make the payments — though, at the time, the U.S. attorney was seeking to have him put behind bars for six months. And perhaps this was why he gave up on his appeal. If he was already going to pay up and if he wasn’t going to go to prison, why bother? It would have been nice if he had elected to not waste the court’s time and notify them that he was withdrawing his appeal, though. It is a strange and confusing case. The moral, we suppose, is to just pay your child support. The guy’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million. Don’t be a deadbeat. On a more serious note, however, is what Stevie J allegedly did to Erica Mena at the reunion. It began with a verbal altercation, which is the bread and butter of reality television and usually no big deal. But things escalated when Stevie J’s criticisms of Erica turned into insults of her 11-year-old son. Specifically, he used an anti-gay slur, calling the child a “f–got.” Unacceptable under any circumstances, and not the first time that he has been accused of homophobia. Some reports say that Erica responded by slapping Stevie J. But it sounds like what happened next was much more serious — with Stevie J allegedly jumping on top of her and attacking her. Reports say that Stevie J was pulled off of Erica by security and expelled from the building. Many fans expect that he will be fired for this shocking display of alleged violence and homophobia. Erica posted to Instagram but quickly deleted a video in which she referred to him as a “b–ch” who “likes to fight girls.” It seemed that she was still feeling understandably heated from their alleged confrontation, but she may have been instructed to delete it or simply thought better of it. Many fans hope that Erica pursues legal action against him, even if he is fired from the show. View Slideshow: 15 AMAZING Moments from Love & Hip Hop
