Tekashi 6ix9ine Kidnapping Video Is Slightly Terrifying [VIDEO]

See the original post:

Source: PYMCA / Getty Troll “rapper” turned informant Tekashi Snitchnine oops we 6ix9ine wasn’t done singing in federal court. While on the stand Wednesday (September 18) he detailed his kidnapping at the hands of his former gang affiliates, the Nine Trey Bloods. The “FEFE” crafter claimed he was taken captive by the same crew he alleged he supplied with money in exchange for protection. While holding back tears, Tekashi says he had to hand over his jeweler which included a $95,000 My Little Pony chain as ransom. In great detail and his best according to Apple Care voice, he broke down the entire kidnapping to the court. 6ix9ine said he was returning home from a music video shoot before the vehicle he got in was rear-ended by another driver. Per Page Six : The face-tattooed rapper — who is testifying against reputed Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack — fought back tears in Manhattan federal court describing how he was allegedly kidnapped on July 22, 2018, in Brooklyn by the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods — then stripped of the pricey jewelry. His pilfered cartoon-inspired pendant was made of 27 carats’ worth of VVS diamonds and featured a mane of hair taken from Tekashi’s own head.  TMZ reported  he paid $45,000 for the piece itself plus $50,000 for the chain. “Assuming it was someone drunk, [my driver] Jorge gets out of the car,” he told the court. “I am looking at the rear-view mirror and I see a guy running up to the passenger side.” Tekashi said the armed man, whom he identified as “Sha,” confronted him with Ellison and told him to “give me everything.” “Bro, I put money in your pocket, I did right by you. I was tired of being extorted,” the rapper said he pleaded to Ellison. With an ultimatum to get into their car or be shot, Tekashi said he was ushered into the vehicle, where Ellison jumped into the driver’s seat, he said. “I’m thinking to myself, should I run out of the car? But know I can’t outrun a bullet,” he told the court. He was then taken out of the car and thrown to the ground, where Shaw pummeled him in the face, he claimed. Then, while Ellison recorded with his phone, the “Fefe” singer was forced to renounce his membership in the Bloods. “Harv made me say, three times, ‘I’m not Billy,’” said Tekashi, referring to slang for Blood loyalists. But the gangbangers weren’t satisfied — they then asked what he was willing to pay to save his own life. “If you don’t kill me … I’ll give you 100 grand, the bank opens in the morning,” he says he told Ellison, who is on trial for the kidnapping and other gang crimes. He said the pair ultimately agreed to let Tekashi go if he handed over six figures in jewelry — including a “6ix9ine” chain, Rolex President and the “My Little Pony” piece that he had stashed inside his daughter’s pink Mickey Mouse Pampers bag. This sounds like something straight out of television show. This latest revelation follows his blockbuster first day on the stand where snitched on EVERYONE even throwing Trippie Red and Casanova’s name into the mix. You can watch the incident go down in the video below. — Photo: PYMCA / Getty

Smells Like Justice: Racist Referee Who Forced Wrestler To Cut His Locs Has Been Suspended For Two Years

Source: AAron Ontiveroz / Getty Referee Suspended For 2 Years After Making Student Cut His Locs Before Match After making 16-year-old high school wrestler Andrew Johnson cut his locs in order to compete in his next match, referee Alan Maloney has been suspended for two years. According to reports from USA Today , the announcement was made on Wednesday following a lengthy investigation into the incident that went down on December 19. During a Buena-Oakcrest meet, Maloney forced Johnson to either wear a hair cover, cut his hair, or forfeit his match. According to The Undefeated , the referee told Johnson that his hair was “unnatural,” and the ref only gave him 90 seconds to trim his locs down. A video showing Drew’s hair being cut went viral, and obviously, people were incredibly angry to see what the young man had to go through. Epitome of a team player A referee wouldn't allow Andrew Johnson of Buena @brhschiefs to wrestle with a cover over his dreadlocks. It was either an impromptu haircut, or a forfeit. Johnson chose the haircut, then won by sudden victory in OT to help spark Buena to a win. pic.twitter.com/f6JidKNKoI — Mike Frankel (@MikeFrankelJSZ) December 20, 2018 The Division on Civil Rights worked with the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association to come up with a suitable punishment for Maloney, and has now implemented a revised “Guidance on Race Discrimination Based on Hairstyle.” The new policy indicates that guidelines which previously banned, limitedm or restricted hairstyles closely associated with those of African-American descent are now in violation of New Jersey law. “Student athletes should be able to compete with each other on a level playing field,” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said in a statement. “Racial discrimination in the enforcement of the rules of any sport is inconsistent with the spirit of fair play.” On top of punishment for the referee who so ignorantly asked the student to cut his dreadlocks, Maloney’s suspension created a tidal wave across the NJSIAA with all referees, coaches, and athletic administrators required to undergo implicit bias training. Wrestling officials will also need to undergo hair discrimination training with a focus specifically on Rule 4.2.1, which addresses concerns over hair length, and not on hairstyle. It’s about time this racist ref gets served with a proper punishment for what he made Andrew Johnson go through.

Colin Kaepernick Reportedly Willing To Be Backup Player, Yet NFL Team Still Won’t Sign Him

Source: Sean M. Haffey / Getty Colin Kaepernick still can’t seem to land a team despite reports that he’s willing to be a backup quarterback. According to CBS Sports , Kaepernick’s agent has contacted various teams this week in hopes of landing a quarterback position for his client. However, the teams aren’t biting. ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith says that Kaepernick’s camp has reached out to the Steelers. “Essentially, they’re not interested,” Smith said this week. Smith further explained that Kaepernick’s camp “contacted the Jets, no word on them yet. They’ve contacted the Saints. They didn’t get their phone calls returned.” To make matters worse, all three of these teams have added a quarterback since Tuesday morning. The Saints signed J.T. Barrett to their practice squad and he’ll be their No. 3 player behind Teddy Bridgewater  and  Taysom Hill. The Steelers added Paxton Lynch to their practice squad on Tuesday and the Jets reportedly signed David Fales on Wednesday. According to Smith, Kaepernick didn’t even want to be a starting quarterback. The sports commentator says he spoke with Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa Diab , last week. According to Smith, Diab told him that Kaep would be open to a backup job. “One of the things that Nessa Diab told me last week when she and I met, she said, ‘Colin Kaepernick trains five days a week, every day, all five days, at 5 a.m.,’” Smith said. “‘Working out a minimum of three hours a day, if not longer. He’s ready to go. He wants to be back in the NFL and it doesn’t have to be as a starting quarterback. It could be as a backup quarterback.’” Yet, NFL teams still seem to be staying clear of Kaepernick. This says a lot if Kaep is willing to be backup because it’s most likely he’ll be playing for backup money, which wouldn’t be a major money risk to the team that signs him. A lot of quarterbacks from major teams have also been facing injuries, so there’s usually a need for replacements. In just two weeks, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Nick Foles have experienced serious injuries. Cam Newton also might miss a game in Week 3 due to a foot situation, and Sam Darnold is projected to miss multiple games due to mononucleosis. Meanwhile, Kaep has been ready to play. His practice videos that he posts on Instagram should serve as proof. But, per usual, the NFL still seems to be turning their back.

The Real Housewives of Orange County: Kelly Dodd Clobbers Shannon Beador With a Freakin’ Mallet, May Face Assault Charges

On Tuesday, a teaser for The Real Housewives of Orange County showed Shannon Beador complaining of head pain after a prank by Kelly Dodd. It turns out that the prank may have had lasting consequences for both women: For her part, Shannon races to the hospital after experiencing lasting head pain and blurred vision in the aftermath of the incident. And Kelly? She may just get charged with assault. We have to start, of course, with Shannon’s health. As the real housewives headed for their stay in Arizona, Shannon was very intent upon this being a peaceful healing retreat. Wishful thinking. In the meantime, Kelly spent the whole time making jokes about sex and dongs. Seriously, before they even arrived, she was all about it. Viewers were treated to Shannon asking Kelly what she wanted to work on healing (you know, like “trust” or “self-love” or whatever). Kelly replied that she had been on the receiving end of some satisfyingly vigorous sex, and therefore needed her genitals healed. Shannon found this pretty annoying, while Kelly felt that she was being way too serious about what is, after all, a reality show stunt. The reality TV twosome went to do a sound bath, which is sort of a ritual for both healing and one’s own aspirations. Unfortunately, Kelly was a bit ambitious for Shannon’s tastes. When it came time to express their hopes, Kelly said that she wanted her sparkling water business to do well. “We are at a place of healing, and I feel as though Kelly’s making a mockery of it,” Shannon complained to the camera. “Yeah, we all want success in our business,” she acknowledged. “But how superficial is that? Don’t mock the process.” You don’t have to believe that a ritual will work in order to at least be respectful if you’re going to participate, you know? Things got worse when the women were asked if they wanted to “stand in a motherbowl to clear your energy field and expand your aura.” Shannon volunteered. She seemed really dedicated to healing, and she has a lot of stress from which to recover. As you might have guessed by now, Kelly wasn’t feeling the same way … and that’s when things got terrible. She decided to play an unfortunate prank on Shannon. Using a short and decorated stick, Kelly decided to give the metal bowl adorned on Shannon’s head a good whack. At first, Shannon thought it was part of the ritual. Soon, however, Shannon was complaining that part of the ritual hurt, which is when Tamra revealed Kelly’s action. Shannon was aghast, and continued to complain of having a headache from her unexpected stint as a human gong. Shannon Beador: Did Kelly Dodd Give Her a CONCUSSION?! As we discussed when we first saw the clip (above), Shannon pointed out that pranks, however well-intentioned, should never get physical. To her credit, Kelly truly didn’t believe that she had drilled Beador in the noggin anywhere close to hard enough to cause any discomfort. She even offered Shannon the opportunity to retaliate, which Shannon declined. But as Shannon’s fears mounted that her headache could be a sign of something worse, she and Tamra departed. It’s always better to be safe than sorry (if you have the means to not only have health insurance, but use it) In the mean time, Emily and Kelly were astonished when they received a call informing them that Shannon was headed to urgent care. Braunwyn diplomatically suggested that they not mock this move until they find out that Shannon is truly okay. And at urgent care, an off-camera nurse asks Shannon if she wants to press assault charges against Kelly. The suspense is killing us, but that’s why they left us hanging until next week. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14 Trailer: “I’m Not a F-cking Whore!” You might think that a whack over the head from a mallet would elicit a response of universal sympathy for Shannon. But believe it or not, viewers on Twitter were quite divided on the matter — a state of affairs that really serves as a testament to how widely disliked Ms. Beador has become in recent years. “I wonder what gave Shannon a bigger headache. The bowl hit or the bottle of tequila she drank. I’m just saying,” one fan remarked. Another Shannon hater was even more blunt, tweeting: “@ShannonBeador over reacts and exaggerates and blows things way out of proportion. C’mon Shannon stop crying about everything and grow some ovaries.” Yikes. We knew Shannon was particularly beloved on social media, but “grow some ovaries”? All because she got checked out by a doctor after taking a knock on the noggin? Talk about adding insult to injury! Elsewhere in the episode, Emily had her big Vegas show but was unhappy at how distant Gina has grown, despite Gina’s personal troubles. And honestly? Emily seems a little jealous that Gina’s found the time to grow closer to Shannon. Remember, Shannon couldn’t stand Gina last season. In fact, Emily, Kelly, and Braunwyn are all bonding over how unhappy they are with Gina and Shannon’s friendship. At this point, the situation is enough to make you want to conk yourself over the mallet. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know

Maci Bookout Speaks Out on Amber Portwood Abuse: I Support Her!

If you've been keeping up with Teen Mom news, then you definitely know that Amber Portwood isn't having a great time right now. And that's because she is not a good person. She was arrested for domestic assault against then-boyfriend Andrew Glennon back in July, and since then, things have kept getting worse and worse. Now, just when it looks like Amber can't sink any lower, friend and co-star Maci Bookout has made a statement in support of her. But why though? 1. Facts Amber is an abuser. We’ve known that for a long, long time. 2. Poor Gary Several years ago, we saw her assault Gary Shirley on Teen Mom — once she punched him in the face, another time she kicked his back when he was walking down some stairs. 3. Poor Matt We never saw her hit Matt Baier, but there were plenty of rumors about it, and Matt has recently come forward to claim that she was violent with him, too. 4. Poor Andrew And although we’ve never seen her abuse Andrew, he may have the most harrowing story of all. 5. The Arrest Amber was arrested on the morning of July 5th after beating Andrew while he was holding their one-year-old son, James, and allegedly chasing him with a machete, again while he was holding James. 6. The Charges She was charged with three felonies — two counts of domestic violence, and one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. A pretty big deal considering she’s already been convicted of two felonies and Indiana is one of those three-strikes states. View Slideshow

Nick Carter: Aaron Carter Threatened to Murder My Pregnant Wife!

Things have been bad between Aaron Carter and Nick Carter for years, but this is the worst that it’s ever been. After Nick served Aaron with a restraining order, he claimed that Aaron had threatened the life of his pregnant wife. Aaron tells a different story — that Nick is trying to gaslight and discredit him because he sided with Nick’s #MeToo accusers. Aaron Carter, who is known for being very active on social media, took to Twitter on Tuesday with a startling revelation. “So my brother just got a a restraining order against me,” Aaron writes. His brother is Nick Carter, of the Backstreet Boys . “And,” Aaron reveals. “I was just served lol.” “Take care.@nickcarter. we’re done for life,” he assures his older brother. “I haven’t seen him in four years,” Aaron tells his fans and followers. “And I don’t intend.” After Aaron exposed what he had done, Nick took to Instagram to use the infamous Notes App to try to explain. “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today.” “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior,” his message continues. “And,” Nick writes. “His recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child.” That accusation sounds terrifying. Nick explains: “we were left with no choice but to take away every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.” “We love our brother,” he emphasizes. “And truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs.” Nick concludes by saying that he hopes that this takes place “before any harm comes to himself or anyone else.” Aaron is enjoined from approaching his siblings, his sister-in-law, or specifically their home in Vegas. Given that Aaron was posting just weeks ago about his firearms collection, a lot of Nick’s fans share his worries. But Aaron tells a very different story. “I am astounded at the accusations being made against me,” Aaron’s tweet begins. He continues: “And I do not wish harm to anyone, especially my family.” “I never threatened anyone,” Aaron declares. “I’m appalled by this and don’t ever wish to speak to them again.” “They’re trying to 5150 me,” he accuses. “My brother called me a month ago and told me to ‘stay off of Instagram live.'” A 5150 is an involuntary psychological hold, used for people who appear to be a threat to themselves or others. “All I ask is for my family to leave me alone,” Aaron expresses. “This is blood. Not love.” “I will never be around you and I don’t want to be around you,” he assures his big brother. Aaron exclaims: “I am the one who said I’m done then you send me this!? Ok.” “Stop trying to get me 5150’d before I file a harassment suit myself nick,” he warns. “I have the $.” Now, police have visited Aaron recently at his home. Reports have said that there were concerns about his large collection of guns, given his history of friends calling in welfare checks on him. There were even reports that some in law enforcement were concerned enough to want to 5150 him. Aaron may hold Nick responsible. When one of Aaron’s fans urged him to keep this family feud private, and to not wage it on Twitter, Aaron did not agree. “They were private,” he notes. “Until my bro filed a restraining order just because I live streamed with one of his accusers” TMZ reports that there will be a hearing for a permanent restraining order on October 16. Aaron makes repeated reference to Nick Carter being accused of rape by a number of women.  Now, we know from Aaron’s appearance on The Doctors that it appears that he is on a lot of meds for a lot of different conditions. Just months ago, the world heard Aaron threaten a Michael Jackson accuser in a very public manner. And quite frankly, the sheer volume of tweets that Aaron put out between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning is absolutely bonkers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that Aaron made the violent threats that Nick accuses him of leveling. Unfortunately, people with mental illness are often and easily blamed and framed, when they become inconvenient or when someone needs a scapegoat. We hate to even think about how many mentally ill witnesses to crimes were outright ignored because of other erratic behavior. Regardless, between Nick’s #MeToo accusers and Aaron’s history of troubled behavior and worrisome statements, it’s hard to side with either brother. Sometimes, in a family feud, everybody involved sucks. View Slideshow: 27 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness

Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty: We’re Engaged!

History was made on Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesday night. Once again, we should say. Several weeks after Demi Burnett told the world that she was a bisexual who was also romantically involed with a woman named Kristian Haggerty … who then became the first-ever non-contestant to be featured on multiple Bachelor in Paradise episodes… … these two women went ahead and got engaged on the Season 6 finale! Viewers got to witness Burnett getting down on one knee (below) and popping life’s biggest question to her soulmate, presenting her in the moment with a Neil Lane diamond ring after telling her girlfriend: I found myself in you. “I know that this has been really hard. I’ve put you through struggles and you were always there for me regardless of how much I didn’t deserve it at the time,” said Burnett while proposing during the pre-taped portion of Tuesday’s season finale, adding: “I never knew that someone could be that patient. “There were a lot of things that came between us, mostly myself and my own struggles. Like you said, I came here to find myself. But I found myself in you.” Shouldn’t Demi also get a ring,t hough? “We’re working on it,” she said after Kristian brought this point up. Fast forward to the reunion special… Kristian proposed right back, giving Demi her very own ring! Demi, who competed for Colton Underwood’s heart on season 23 of The Bachelor , initially pursued a relationship with Derek Peth when she first hit the beach in Mexico. During the August 13 episode, though, she confessed that she still had feelings for Kristian, who she was seeing before she joined the cast of the ABC dating spinoff. They are now the first same-sex couple to get engaged on thie franchise. “I know it’s a big deal that it was the first same-sex [engagement] on this franchise in the U.S., but we weren’t thinking of the significance of that at the time,” said Burnett when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter after the reunion taping. “It was just about us loving each other and that’s really what the focus was.” Burnett and Haggerty weren’t the only Season 6 stars to get engaged on the finale. Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton, along with Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour, also agreed to marry at some point. Burnett, meanwhile, is now living in Los Angeles near Haggerty and is open to the idea of filming their forthcoming nuptials for television. “I don’t want to carry the torch and say how [the franchise] should handle all of this representation and what not,” Burnett told THR about the impact her story can have on the franchise, concluding: “I think that with time it’s just going to be normalized and just going to be people loving each other, whatever way that comes.” Congrats to Demi and Kristian!
