Source: Streeter Lecka / Getty Dion Waiters Reportedly Suffers Panic Attack After Eating THC-Infused Edible According to ESPN , NBA baller Dion Waiters suffered a panic attack on the Miami Heat charter plane after consuming a THC-infused edible . Waiters, who was MIA against the Lakers, reportedly received medical treatment when the plane landed after the flight from Los Angeles from Phoenix. Waiters has had a rough start to the season in Miami, and has yet to play in a single game this season. The Heat are reportedly frustrated with his lack of production after inking him to a huge deal. He is in the third year of his four year, $52 million deal with the Heat. He is also due $24 million through the end of his contract, though could miss a $1.2 million bonus if he misses three more games this year. This incident will make it even harder for the team to trade the veteran seeing as no team may be willing to take on all the drama surrounding the veteran player.

L os Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. Months after the one-year anniversary of the creation of his I Promise School for at-risk children, James has now announced that he will be adding transitional housing for the families of students that are facing financial hardships, CNN reported. LeBron James is adding safe housing to the school he founded in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, so students have a stable place to live while they get their education. https://t.co/g6rBgiweJH — CNN (@CNN) November 4, 2019 The LeBron James Family Foundation is teaming up with Graduate Hotels for the initiative. The company—which is known for the development of hand-crafted boutique hotels near colleges and universities throughout the country—will restore a residential building in the Highland Square community. The building—which is located minutes away from the I Promise School—is slated for completion by July 2020. James, who has utilized his platform to speak out on several social and political issues and has been a fierce advocate for the improvement of education, believes that the success of the students is dependent on having a solid foundation at home. “Initially, our work was focused on helping these kids earn an education. But we’ve found that it is impossible to help them learn if they are struggling to survive — if they are hungry, if they have no heat in the freezing winter, if they live in fear for their safety,” he told the news outlet. “We want this place to be their home where they feel safe, supported, and loved, knowing we are right there with them every step of the way as they get back on their feet.” Graduate Hotel CEO Ben Weprin is excited to team up with James and his foundation for this impactful project. “It’s humbling to see the change they are affecting on a daily basis and we’re honored to be a part of the journey,” he said. James has also been focused on fighting food insecurity. He joined forces with Walmart for a campaign to spread awareness about hunger in America and opened a pantry for underprivileged families at his I Promise School.

R &B singer John Legend has been a fierce advocate for criminal justice reform. The Ohio native is furthering his efforts to reduce recidivism and provide support for the formerly incarcerated and others whose lives have been directly impacted by the flawed criminal justice system. According to Forbes Legend—whose real name is John Roger Stephens—recently announced that there would be a second cohort for the Unlocked Futures project. John Legend wants to improve job opportunities for people with criminal backgrounds https://t.co/6ZmGCjvGuP pic.twitter.com/l1tFZyeZVR — Forbes (@Forbes) October 27, 2019 The initiative is a collaborative effort between Stephens’ Free America campaign, the venture philanthropy fund and social innovation organization New Profit, and Bank of America. The 14-month accelerator program was designed to empower inmates who want to become social entrepreneurs. Throughout the program participants learn about everything from marketing to acquiring talent to grow their businesses. Each individual that completes the program receives a $50,000 grant to further their ventures. Projects that were developed in the first cohort include Clean Decisions, a commercial cleaning service that employs ex-offenders and a platform called Flikshop which gives inmates the ability to receive mail from their loved ones through an app. “We started this as a collaboration, saying, ‘Let’s not just tell folks to hire formerly incarcerated individuals, but to invest in their ideas,’” said Stephens in a statement. “All of the members have business ideas that will help them feed their families, employ others and strengthen our communities.” He added that assisting formerly incarcerated individuals in reintegration has tremendous value. Programs like Unlocked Futures are needed. Research shows that nearly 76 percent of inmates go back to jail within five years. “Unlocked Futures recognizes that entrepreneurship is a pathway for people who have been affected by the criminal justice system to earn a family-sustaining income and build a career,” read the initiative’s website. “People whose lives are affected by the criminal justice system have unmatched expertise and insight into where the system can be improved for better outcomes.” SEE ALSO: Find Out How John Legend Is Helping Ex-Inmates Turn Their Lives Around John Legend, Issa Rae And Others Support Crowdfunding Campaign To Restore Nina Simone’s Childhood Home [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3892906″ overlay=”true”]

We’re very sorry to all those Jim Edmonds and Meghan King Edmonds true believers. We hate to break this to all the folks out there who thought these two would fight through their issues and find eternal happiness together. Because, SPOILER ALERT, they will not. In case this wasn’t obvious based on the recent statements made by the former Major League Baseball player and former Real Housewife of Orange County, consider the following: Jim has now moved out. On his Instagram page this weekend, Jim showed off his children playing around in his new residence — and gave a mini-tour of the home — amid his split from Meghan. Meghan and Jim are the parents of two-year-old daughter Aspen and 17-month-old twins, Hayes and Hart. The latter is also dad to Sutton and Landon Edmonds, his two older kids who he shares with his ex-wife Allison Edmonds. In one clip from his father’s social media page, Hayes looks around his new playroom in awe while big sister, Aspen, runs over to grab some toys. “Hayes doesn’t know what to do,” Jim captioned the footage. He also filmed the entire family as they gather around to look at a Jack-in-the-box toy. And in another clip, Aspen throws baseballs just like her dad in what appears to be an in-house baseball training facility. Jim, of course, filed for divorce from Meghan on October 25. This wasn’t wholly unexpected, consideirng Jim admitted to (at minimum) sexting with another woman during the couple’s five-year marriage. But the Internet then exploded with chatter that Jim had been sleeping with the family’s nanny, a 22-year old woman named Carly Wilson. The ex-outfielder strongly denied this rumor, trashing Meghan for playing any role at all in spreading it around in public. In an exclusive statement to Us weekly, Jim called the claims, “ dangerous, irresponsible and hurtful .” He also addressed the controversy in an Instagram post on October 28, writing: “It’s one thing to be accused of something. It’s another thing to be so negligent and so careless, and ruin the lives of innocent young people.” In her own blog entry later on, however, Meghan admitted that Jim and Carly probably never had sex… but did state that she thought the two had an inappropriate relationship. “I am broken,” she added at the time . “I have endured prolific controlling by Jim and it isn’t slowing down,” the ex-Bravo star said on November 4. “ She added back then: Even when I make an unassuming post on Instagram, he hurls insults at me for a battery of made-up indiscretions. I’m sick of the abuse and I won’t engage anymore — and I don’t have to.” Just when everything appeared to have calmed down between the pair, however, Jim called the cops on Meghan just this week and accused her of being a neglient parent.
