See Also: ‘I Thought It Was A Hoax’: Sparkle Talks R. Kelly’s Marriage To Aaliyah The Blast reportedly obtained audio of Joycelyn Savage talking to voice coach after her family found out she had a a sexual relationship with the singer. Savage does not appear to know she is being recorded. “I told him what was going on,” she said to her voice coach. “He can’t trust me … I have to gain his trust back because he really likes me a lot.” She also said that Kelly wanted her to send a text message saying, “I lied about me and you having sex.” Savage is also scared that R. Kelly may have gave her an STD, specifically herpes. The Blast also reports, “Joycelyn confided in her closest friends that Kelly allegedly sexually assaulted her during their first meeting, and her family firmly believes that incident started a pattern of physical and psychological abuse that resulted in total dedication to the star.” Kelly and Savage reportedly met in 2015 when he flew her out to a show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The audio has reportedly been give to federal investigators. Gayle King interviewed Joycelyn Savage, 23, and Azriel Clary , 21, during the now infamous interview. Savage alleged that her and Clary’s parents were “out here to get money.” Clary cried,“I’m crying because you guys don’t know the truth. You guys are believing in some fucking facade that our parents are saying. This is all fucking lies for money. And if you can’t see that, you’re ignorant and you’re stupid.” Watch the full interview below: Kelly was arrested Feb. 23 after surrendering to Chicago police following his indictment on the same day for 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. After spending the weekend in jail because he arguably had trouble paying the $100,000 for bail, a woman friend of his posted his bond . Kelly was taken into custody again for failing to pay more than $160,000 in child support but was released a few days later after someone else paid his bond. The latest sex crime charges he is facing stem from attorney Michael Avenatti giving purported child porn videos that featured the singer. Avenatti said he was hired last April in connection to multiple allegations of Kelly sexually assaulting minors. He claimed to have videotaped evidence, which, despite their similarities, were apparently not the same video footage that got Kelly indicted in 2002 — and acquitted in 2008 — for child porn. Interest in seeing Kelly charged for his alleged crimes came at the beginning of the year when the bombshell docuseries “ Surviving R. Kelly ” aired with several women accusing him of sexually abusing them when they were underage. SEE ALSO: R. Kelly Arrested, His Lawyer Says: ‘All The Women Are Lying’ R.

Chisolm has extensive experience in the wealth management industry. He’s served at the helm of an investment firm called Umoja Investments for over a decade. Chisolm also penned a book titled Financial Legacy: Building Wealth Through Investment Clubs . He says that through the platform he and his son created he hopes to educate and empower the Black community to make smart decisions when it comes to money so that they can alleviate financial burdens. “When we created Black WallStreeter Consultation Services, we wanted to address a few main concerns individuals have about their financial wellness,” said Chisolm in a statement. “For example, many of our clients are unsure of how to pay for college tuition, save for retirement, buy a new home or start a new business. An investment club is the ultimate opportunity to increase personal financial goals and ease financial worries.” Chisolm and his son believe that it’s never too early to start learning about financial wellness and encourage kids as young as 8-years-old to attend the seminars so they can take solid financial values with them when they step into adulthood. The father and son aren’t the only ones spreading awareness about financial literacy within the Black community.

Source: EyeEm / Getty Elizabeth Malone Arrested For Poisoning Son A Virginia woman is making international headlines for her shocking behavior. Elizabeth Malone of Fairfax County, VA pleaded guilty Wednesday to child abuse. NBC Washington reports that she admitted to putting her blood in her son’s nose and mouth while he was in the hospital so that the boy could get attention from the hospital staff. Her son who’s non-verbal and has multiple disabilities was apparently hospitalized seven times between March and May of 2018. The boy also has a tracheotomy, central line, and a feeding tube. Hospital officials first suspected foul play after noticing blood coming out of his g-tube and tracheotomy along with spontaneous bleeds. Suspicion reached a fever pitch however when a nurse found a bloody napkin in the bathroom and noticed a syringe up Malone’s arm. A hidden camera was then installed in the child’s room and Malone was busted injecting her own blood into the boy. NBC reports that her actions caused life-threatening reactions, fevers, and infections in the 5-year-old. After finally admitting her actions to authorities Malone said via an attorney that she was dissatisfied with his medical care and wanted him to get “more attention. “She denies any intention to harm her child,” her attorney told a judge. “She loves her child like any mother.” Elizabeth Malone of Fairfax County pleaded guilty to child abuse Wednesday. https://t.co/eng70m6Mzr — NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) March 14, 2019 The child’s condition has reportedly improved significantly since Malone’s arrest.

Colton Underwood went up against his greatest obstacle to date on The Bachelor this week. No, not a woman’s bra clasp. We’re talking about the fathers of his potential wives, as Colton traveled to the hometowns of his final four and met their loved ones on this intense installment. “I didn’t have a strong initial opinion of Colton because I don’t like to draw judgment to quickly,” Matt said, adding: “I could tell Colton was being affectionate with Cassie. I don’t know if that’s what he does with all the girls he goes out with. We don’t know him. He seemed like a … guy.” That much is true. We can verify. Things only get more uncomfortable when Cassie sits down with her father and he questioned the romance. “I’m not dumb! You have to know I’m being smart about this whole thing,” she said. “I just want you to trust me.” Later, when Colton asked for permission to propose… he was REJECTED. “I think that a lifelong commitment, that’s big and shouldn’t be taken at all lightly because it is forever in my opinion,” the very well-reasoned father said. “Too often I think it’s done without enough thought. As far as the hand in marriage, that would be a premature blessing.”
