R. Kelly is back in the custody of Chicago police after a court hearing on failure to pay child support.
According to TMZ, the disgraced singer still hasn’t paid the $161,633 he owes to his ex-wife Andrea Kelly for back child support, and his deadline was today.
Kelly showed up to court with his team of attorneys just before 2 p.m. CT.
He apparently couldn’t come up with the cash at his hearing and was arrested on the spot.

A photo of Khloe Kardashian with a group of black women on dog leashes went viral on Twitter over the weekend.
Friday, after Jordyn Woods “Red Table Talk” interview with Jada Pinkett-Smith about the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal went live on Facebook Watch, Khloe tweeted that Woods was a liar, and she, contrary to what she said in the sit-down, was the “reason why [her] family broke up.”
When Khloe came for Jordyn, Black Twitter put on a united front and dragged Khloe from Calabasas to hell, then back to Calabasas, then back to hell all over again. We already showed you some of the harshest tweets (CLICK HERE IF YOU MISSED THEM!), but we definitely missed these:
I can’t believe I’m semi getting involved with this mess,but I just saw this pic of Khloe and I think it speaks 1,000 words. #TeamJordynpic.twitter.com/5GVS2efTH1
The image shows Khloe, a proud Armenian (aka white) woman standing in the middle dressed up like a pimp.
Surrounding her are four black women dressed in lingerie with dog collars and leashes around their necks … and if you look closely, you should be able to recognize at least one or two of them.
A young Khloe is holding the leashes attached to the four women—actress Meagan Good, Khloe’s friend Malika Haqq and what looks like Malika’s twin sister Khadijah, along with another girl we don’t know.
The picture was taken years ago—you can tell because Khloe has her old face—but it’s just now going viral amid this whole “Black Women vs. Khloe Kardashian thing” because that’s what happens when you just don’t go with the flow, KHLOE.
So far, Meagan Good has been the only one of the four black women to respond.
In the comment section of Baller Alert’s post on Instagram, Good wrote: “That one time on Halloween when you were young and dumb … and clearly didn’t think 15 years ahead lol smh. Welp, mistakes were made.”
It’s been years since Sylvester the Molester aka R. Kelly has done an interview … and now that all eyes are on him after he was arrested and charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving minors, he decided to sit down with the CBS in a desperate attempt to clear his name (as if that’s even possible at this point).
Gayle King flew to Chicago Tuesday (Mar. 5) and sat down with R. Kelly in his first interview since his arrest, and as King presses the disgraced singer on the recent allegations, he turns to the camera and starts yelling about how stupid it would be for him to do something like that, considering his past.
At one point, he sheds a few pedo tears, clearly trying to score sympathy points from someone (not sure who) as he shouts: “Quit playin! I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me, y’all! I’m fighting for my f***ing life!”
The full hour-long interview will be broken into two parts that will air on Wednesday (Mar. 6) and Thursday (Mar. 7) on CBS This Morning, but you can watch a short preview below:
SMDH… those tears are faker than his Bigen hairline.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in California has launched an investigation into an “apparent suicide” at a middle school Tuesday (Mar. 5).
According to the OC Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a call from Don Juan Avila Middle School around 6:30 a.m. after a staff member found a 13-year-old boy dead on campus.
Due to the investigation, both the middle school and an elementary school on the same campus were closed for the day. Students were evacuated to an alternate location for parents to pick them up.
Aliso Viejo city officials said in an alert that there was no threat to the community and didn’t appear that anyone else was injured during the incident.
No other details about the incident, including how the boy died, have been released. It was also unclear whether the victim was a student at the school.
Due to the ongoing investigation, both the middle school and elementary school have been closed for the day. Students have been rerouted to an alternate location. Parents needing additional info can call the school district hotline at 949-234-5575.
Luke Perry, the heartthrob actor known for his roles on Beverly Hills 90210 and Riverdale, passed away on March 4th and we’re learning more about the people who were closest to him, including his fiancée, his two kids, and his ex-wife, Rachel “Minnie” Sharp.
Rumors at the time emerged that the couple wanted to elope in Vegas, so they changed plans at the last minute, instead choosing to have a small wedding in San Fernando Valley, California attended by 50 family members and close friends, including some of Perry’s 90210 castmates and crew members.
2There were rumors that Rachel met Luke after sending him lingerie in the mail.
Luke Perry and Rachel Sharp lived together in what Perry described as an “old house on one acre” in the San Fernando Valley.
Tabloid reports suggested that Rachel and Luke met after she sent him lingerie in the mail.
Luke, however, denied the rumors, saying that he and Rachel met in a restaurant. “It’s that simple,” he said, according to People.
3Luke and Rachel have two kids together: son Jack Perry and daughter Sophie Perry.
Together, Luke Perry and Rachel Sharp have two children.
Their son, Jack Perry, was born on June 15th, 1997 and their daughter, Sophie Perry, was born on June 7th, 2000.
Jack is a professional wrestler known by his ring name “Jungle Boy” Nate Coy and he’s signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Sophie, on the other, keeps a low profile.
After their divorce, Ruth and Luke maintained a joint custody agreement and were dedicated co-parents, which was something that was very important to Perry.
“Love them as much as you can and talk to them as much as you can. Make time for them,” he told Us Weeklyduring a Facebook Live back in 2017.
4Rachel’s late father, Alan Sharp, was a screenwriter and she and her sister were actresses for a brief time.
Rachel’s father, Alan Sharp, was a novelist and screenwriter from Scotland. He published two novels in the 1960s and went on to write the screenplays for around 20 films, most of which were produced in the United States.
Mr. Sharp was an uncredited writer on the 1982 Oscar-winning Mel Gibson movie “The Year of Living Dangerously,” and his other film credits include the 1983 thriller “The Osterman Weekend” and the 1995 action flick “Rob Roy.”
Alan Sharp passed away in February 2013 at the age of 79 in Los Angeles.
Rachel dabbled in Hollywood, appearing in one movie, “Teen Wolf Too,” the sequel to the film “Teen Wolf.”
Her half-sister Ruth Emmanuella Davies, known professionally Rudi Davies was also an actress for a brief time. Rachel and Rudi shared the same father; Rudi’s mother was a writer, Dame Beryl Bainbridge, who died in 2010.
5Luke Perry was engaged to therapist Wendy Madison Bauer at the time of his death.
Luke Perry kept his personal life very private in recent years and didn’t talk publicly about dating anyone.
But when his publicist announced his death, it was revealed that he was engaged to a woman named Wendy Madison Bauer, a family and marriage therapist based in Beverly Hills.
Luke Perry—who rose to fame as Dylan McKay on Beverly Hill 90210 and more recently was known for his latest role as Fred Andrews on Riverdale—leaves behind a family to cherish his memories, including his fiancée, Wendy Bauer, his children, son Jack Perry and daughter Sophie Perry, and their mother, his ex-wife, Rachel “Minnie” Sharp.
Here are some things to know about Luke Perry’s daughter Sophie:
1Sophie Perry is Luke’s youngest child, after her older brother, professional wrestler Jack Perry aka “Jungle Boy” Nate McCoy.
Luke Perry was 27 years old when he married a 24-year-old Rachel “Minnie” Sharp” on November 2th, 1993 in San Fernando Valley, California.
They were initially supposed to get married in Las Vegas, but they changed plans at the last minute to maintain their privacy after the information about their wedding leaked to the tabloids.
Perry and Sharp’s marriage produced two children, one of whom is Sophie, born on June 7th, 2000. Sophie’s older brother, Jack Perry, was born in 1997 and is a professional wrestler under the moniker “Jungle Boy” Nate Coy.
2Though Sophie’s mom, Luke’s ex-wife Rachel “Minnie” Sharp, comes from a Hollywood background, she was not in show business aside from one small movie role.
We all know about the background of Sophie’s father, actor Luke Perry, but you probably had no idea that Sophie’s mother, Rachel “Minnie” Sharp—who was married to Luke between 1993 and 2003, has a background in Hollywood as well, though hers was very brief.
In 1987, Rachel Sharp had a small role as Emily in “Teen Wolf Too,” the sequel to the 1985 film “Teen Wolf.”
Sharp’s sister (Sophie’s aunt) also was an actress and Sharp’s father, Alan Sharp (Sophie’s grandfather) was a screenwriter. He died in February 2013 at age 79.
3Sophie Perry keeps a low profile.
Not much is known about Sophie Perry, Luke Perry’s daughter and youngest child.
Photos floating around the internet (like the one above, taken in 2004) show Sophie as a young child, but she is now 19 years old and will turn 20 in the year 2020. How cool is that?
Unlike her brother, who is a professional wrestler, Sophie keeps a pretty low profile.
Her personal Instagram, which is public, has a little over 4,000 followers and looks like any other girl’s IG around her age.
4Sophie’s dad, Luke Perry, said he wouldn’t want her to date his 90210 character Dylan McKay.
In a 2017 interview with Us Weekly, Luke Perry said that his kids have never seen Beverly Hills 90210, and he would never late his daughter date his character, Dylan McKay.
“I know that brother,” Perry said. “I know what he’s up to.” He added: “He’s absolutely a man of character, so she could do worse. But it wouldn’t be my first pick, no.”
5Sophie Perry and her family surrounded Luke as he passed.
According to Luke Perry’s publicist, his family was by his side at the time of his passing, including his son Jack, his daughter Sophie, his fiancée Wendy Madison Bauer, his ex-wife, Minnie Sharp, his mother and step-father, Ann and Steve Bennett, his brother Tom Perry and sister Amy Coder, as well as other close family and friends.

The family’s statement read in part: “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning.”
Sophie was recently living in Malawi with a group of volunteers helping development projects.
A source told People she was overseas when Perry suffered a stroke on Wednesday (Feb. 27), and she rushed back to Los Angeles to see her father before he died.

The family’s statement read in part: “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning.”
Here’s what you need to know about Luke Perry’s son Jack.
1Jack Perry is a professional wrestler who goes by the name “Jungle Boy” Nate Coy.
According to Woman’s Day, Jack Perry is a professional wrestler who goes by the ring name “Jungle Boy Nate Coy.”
Perry began wrestling on the independent scene in California in 2015. He signed with All Elite Wrestling in January 2019, according to Wrestling Inc, and he’s set to compete in the upcoming AEW Double or Nothing in Las Vegas at the MGM Garden Arena.
Jack’s father, Luke, apparently played a huge role in his signing details, with Wrestling Inc reporting that “Jack, his father and his legal team felt it was best for him to not sign a deal over 2 years at this point in his early career.”
Perry’s Instagram username is @boy_myth_legend and his name on IG is “Jungle Boy, Jack Perry.”
The page has a limited number of photos and videos and it is apparently only used for professional purposes, as there are no photos or videos of his family.
Perry also has a Twitter account and a professional Facebook page, though both of those are also used largely for professional pages.
He does, however, have a personal Facebook, which is somewhat public. His most recent public post was a message on January 24th that read: “Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me. I am officially signed with All Elite Wrestling. Time to change the world.”
Luke Perry was 27 years old when he married Rachel “Minnie” Sharp, who was 24 at the time, in 1993. The couple had a small, private wedding that was only attended by about 50 guests, including family and some of Luke’s Beverly Hills 90210 castmates. They dated for two years before marrying.
Sharp is a one-time actress who appeared in the film “Teen Wolf 2,” but didn’t pursue acting as a career and remained out of the spotlight.
There were tabloid rumors that Sharp met Perry after sending him lingerie as a fan, but Luke denied that, saying that they met in a restaurant. “It’s that simple,” he said, according to People.
During the years together, Luke and Rachel lived on what Luke called “an old house on one acre.”
The South Carolina Education Lottery Commission announced Monday (Mar. 4) that the lucky person holding the winning ticket for the $1.5 billion jackpot from the October 28th, 2018 Mega Millions drawing has come forward almost four months to the date to collect the massive prize.
Officials said the winner chose to remain anonymous and picked the cash option for a one-time payout of $877,784,124 (before taxes)—the largest jackpot payout to a single winner in United States history.
According to the lottery commission, the winner has retained the services of New York attorney Jason Kurland, also known as the “lottery lawyer,” to handle the payment process and act as a spokesperson.
The winning ticket was sold at KC Mart on Lee Vaughn Road in Simpsonville, South Carolina.
According to Fox Carolina, the winner reportedly allowed another Mega Millions player to skip ahead of him before purchasing the winning quick-pick ticket.
The shop’s owner, C.J. Patel, will receive $50,000 for selling the ticket. Patel, an Indian immigrant who has lived in the United States for 20 years, bought the business a little over three years ago.
The winner had until around April 28th (or 180 days since the ticket was purchased) to come forward to claim the prize.
The state of South Carolina will receive $61 million in income taxes from the winner.

3Luke Perry never talked publicly about being engaged to or dating Wendy Bauer, but she did attend an event with him in 2017.
Luke Perry was very serious about keeping his private life private. In fact, it wasn’t until his death that it was publicly reported that he was engaged in the statement released by his family.
Luke Perry’s fiancée, Wendy Madison Bauer, was by his side when he died. Not much is known about her or her relationship with Perry, and it isn’t clear when their relationship began, where they met, how long they dated or how long they were engaged.
In 2017, however, Wendy was photographed as Perry’s date at the GLAAD Media Awards, where the pair held hands and smiled at each other while posing for photos on the red carpet. At the time, she was identified only as a “brunette girlfriend” accompanying him to the event.
Luke Perry, the heartthrob actor who rose to fame on the hit series Beverly Hills 90210 and more recently starred on The CW’s Riverdale, died Monday morning (Mar. 4) at the age of 52 years old.
According to TMZ, Perry was surrounded by his family and close friends as he passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California, where he’d been since last Wednesday morning (Feb. 27) after suffering a “massive” stroke while at his home in Sherman Oaks.
When paramedics arrived at his house Wednesday, he was reportedly responsive and talking. However, his condition quickly worsened, forcing doctors to sedate him to help his brain recover from the trauma of stroke. Unfortunately, the damage to his brain was too extensive and he never recovered.
Read more about Perry’s life and career (via TMZ) below:
Born in Mansfield, Ohio … Luke had a prolific acting career on TV and in movies — getting his start in the early ’80s — and became a household name on ‘90210.’ After that, his career exploded. Most recently he’s had a starring role as Archie’s dad on CW’s hit show, “Riverdale.”
He also filmed a role in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Charles Manson movie, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
On ‘90210,’ Luke starred as high school stud Dylan McKay for 10 seasons. He also had prominent roles on shows like “Another World,” “Oz,” “Jeremiah,” “Windfall,” “John from Cincinnati,” and “Body of Proof.”
A reboot of ‘90210’ was just announced on Wednesday with the bulk of the original cast, but Luke had not signed on to be a regular on the series. We’re told he was down to do a few guest spots, but couldn’t commit to more than that due to his “Riverdale” schedule. Perry’s ‘90210’ costars Shannen Doherty and Ian Ziering posted messages of support for their friend shortly after his hospitalization.
Luke also did a significant amount of voice acting, lending his talent to cartoons like “Biker Mice from Mars,” “Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm,” “The Legend of Calamity Jane,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Pepper Ann,” “Pound Puppies” and many others.
Perry’s reps said in a statement: “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world. No further details will be released at this time.”
Riverdale execs decided to shut down the set for today to give the cast and crew the chance to grieve.
The show also released a statement, saying: “Luke was everything you would hope he would be: an incredibly caring, consummate professional with a giant heart, and a true friend to all. A father figure and mentor to the show’s young cast, Luke was incredibly generous, and he infused the set with love and kindness. Our thoughts are with Luke’s family during this most difficult time.”
Michael Jackson & James "Jimmy" Safechuck (Left) / Michael Jackson with Wade Robson (Right)
Even though many people don’t want to face the music when it comes to accepting that Michael Jackson may have been a serial child molester, we’re all being forced to re-examine the Michael Jackson narrative as a two-part documentary called Leaving Neverland calls everything into question.
Coming on the heels of the ground-breaking Surviving R. Kelly docuseries, expectations on the impact of the Neverland documentary are high. Especially since Oprah Winfrey signed on to host a special featuring the two accusers, Wade Robson and James “Jimmy” Safechuck.
But the problem is that Neverland is nowhere near as thorough in its investigation as Surviving R. Kelly was.
For one, the Neverland documentary only features interviews with Robson, Safechuck and a few of their family members. Surviving R. Kelly, on the other hand, featured interviews the accusers, investigators, R. Kelly’s brothers and former associates.
The fact that the documentary unflinchingly relies on just Safechuck and Robson’s narratives is something that Jackson’s fans and defenders have latched onto as a reason to invalidate the entire documentary as false, flawed and without merit.
The other reason his defenders don’t buy this documentary is that both Safechuck and Robson previously testified under oath that Jackson never molested them. Robson, in particular, testified twice in Michael’s defense, the second time as an adult.
So there are definitely credibility issues here, but I will say the testimony of both Robson and Safechuck goes into intimate details that seem difficult to fake. Here are some of the more eye-popping and alarming moments from Part 1 of Leaving Neverland.
1Wade Robson and James “Jimmy” Safechuck claim Michael Jackson wooed his boys like lovers.
Michael Jackson with James “Jimmy” Safechuck
One of the starkest things about the documentary is the extent to which Michael wooed and essentially dated his alleged victims.
Safechuck at one point pulls out a kind of wedding ring that he says Jackson gave him. Robson admits that Jackson would take him on what pretty much sounded like dates.
And furthermore, both Safechuck and Robson admitted to feeling abandoned, heartbroken and jealous when Jackson would shift his gaze to other boys.
Michael supposedly made it a point to make the boys feel like they were his one and only and well, they just weren’t.
2Wade says Michael would have him spread his butt cheeks and stick his tongue in his anus.
Michael Jackson and Wade Robson
Listen. One thing you have to prepare yourself for when watching this documentary is the explicit nature of the details of the abuse.
If you thought R. Kelly pissing on young girls was nasty, hearing Wade talk about how Michael would have him on all fours, spreading his butt checks while Michael masturbated and occasionally stuck his tongue in his anus will take you all the way out.
3Michael had a creepy pet Name for Wade and It was “Little One.”
Nicknames are common between friends, but the nickname Michael repeatedly used with Wade has an uncomfortable air to it: “Little One.”
Michael used the pet name in faxes that read more like love letters to Wade, and also in a creepy birthday video he sent to Wade.
4Michael (allegedly) showed porn to both Robson and Safechuck.
Michael Jackson and Jimmy Safechuck
One of the ways Michael would allegedly get them in the mood was by showing the boys porn.
Robson says that Jackson showed him explicit heterosexual porn, starting with still images and moving on to video content.
For some reason, even though Wade and Michael had already been intimate on several occasions by that point, Robson said the exposure to the pornography had a major impact on him.
5Wade’s Mom abandoned her husband and oldest Child to chase fame with Wade.
Michael Jackson pictured with Wade Robson’s family
As part of the grooming process, Wade and his mom detail how Michael worked to earn her trust and how they eventually built a close relationship. This relationship began to put a wedge between Joy Robson and her husband.
After constant contact with Jackson and a few visits, Joy decided to pack off to live in the States with Wade and her daughter Chantal, leaving behind her oldest son and her husband, Dennis, who later began to have a mental breakdown and eventually committed suicide.
The attachment and relationship Joy built with Michael had undertones that sounded similar to the parents of Jan Broberg in the Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight.
6Both Jimmy and Wade’s Moms convinced themselves that it was OK for their sons to sleep in Michael’s bed.
It’s true that the cultural climate was incredibly different in the ’80s and ’90s, but the idea that Stephanie Safechuck and Joy Robson were perfectly ok with their 10 and 7-year-old sons sleeping overnight in Michael’s bed is mind-boggling.
Both Safechuck and Robson and their moms say that the progression from fan to friend to family felt so natural and organic that they just didn’t question it. This is how grooming works, folks.
7Michael allegedly did oral, masturbation and anal with the boys.
Even though Wade was a mere 7 years old, he apparently was tasked with performing oral sex on the very adult Michael Jackson.
At one point, with pain in his voice, Wade recalls how he struggled to fit Michael’s adult penis in his 7-year-old mouth.
Safechuck describes how Michael attempted anal play with him by inserting his finger in his anus, but he hated it and said Michael didn’t explore it further.
Wade, on the other hand, was more compliant and Jackson apparently was able to penetrate Wade anally on several occasions.
OK. Like I said, this documentary gets into some very graphic and disturbing accusations and this is just Part 1.
Part 2, followed by a special with Oprah, is set to air Monday evening (Mar. 4) on HBO at 8 pm.
The woman who bailed R. Kelly out of jail reportedly received a bomb threat at the daycare center she’s connected to.
CBS Chicago reporter Brad Edwards tweeted that multiple people called in a bomb threat Saturday (Mar. 2) at The Lord and Child Christian Day Care, where Valencia P. Love either currently works at or used to work at.
ONLY HERE: Saturday, multiple people called in a bomb threat to a daycare near W. 79th & Kedzie. The business is connected to the woman who posted R. Kelly’s $100k bond. PER CPD – “No offender in custody. Bomb and arson cleared the scene. Area Central investigating.” @cbschicagopic.twitter.com/80AHAAGmv8
According to Edwards, the Chicago PD doesn’t have anyone in custody and local bomb and arson squads have cleared the scene as police investigate the bomb threat.
When the news broke that Valencia P. Love was the “friend” who paid R. Kelly’s $100K bond on a $1M bail to get him out of jail, it was revealed that she was a businesswoman who owns a restaurant and a daycare center. However, the details surrounding Love’s employment at the daycare isn’t clear at the moment.
Though Love is reportedly still listed as a “registered agent” of the Lord and Child Christian Day Care, according to local news outlets, the daycare and the Dept. of Children and Family Services said she’s no longer employed there.
Janice Freeman, a former contestant on NBC’s The Voice, died Saturday (Mar. 2) at the age of 33 of an apparent blood clot.
Freeman’s family told TMZ the singer was at home in Pasadena, California when she started complaining about not being able to breathe.
Her husband Dion called 911 and administered CPR on her until paramedics arrived. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead around 5:30 p.m. PT.
Freeman’s manager told TMZ that she’s been battling a combination of bronchitis and lupus and the blood clot was in her lungs.
Freeman had reportedly struggled with a number of health issues, including lupus, meningitis, and cervical cancer, the latter of which she’d beaten.
Janice was a contestant on season 13 of The Voice and made it all the way to the Top 11 under the mentorship of Miley Cyrus, who cried when Freeman was voted off the show in November 2007.
“If anybody deserves to stick around in this competition it is you,” Cyrus told Freeman the time. “You are a fighter, you are a warrior, you are a role model and, more than any of that, you are The Voice, I am in complete shock, I love you so much.”
Miley and Janice stayed in contact after the show, and in January 2018, Janice thanked Miley for helping her out financially when she and her family were looking for a place to live. Freeman explained on an Instagram video how Cyrus had covered six months’ worth of rent for her.
“Miley, you are my dawg, like, my best friend, and I will defend you to the bitter end,” Freeman said through tears on IG Live. “This woman blessed me to be able to move in. Do you understand? What she don’t know is, I’ve been praying for her.
“I’m so overwhelmed. I need y’all to understand that it is time to go into 2018 believing God for real… Y’all don’t understand that you see these people on TV. You see things happening and all of that. But you don’t understand that these people are real. And her heart is so huge. And she allows God to use her to bless my life.”
After Florida rapper YNW Melly was arrested in February on first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting and killing two members of his YNW crew, new evidence has surfaced suggesting that the 19-year-old tried to trick police into believing that the victims were murdered by someone else by staging a drive-by shooting.
And here’s the kicker … according to the police report, Melly—whose real name is Jamell Demons—drove around with his friends’ dead bodies “for a period of time” while he and another friend, YNW Bortlen (real name: Cortlen Henry) came up with their harebrained scheme.
According to YNW’s booking report out of Miramar, FL — obtained by TMZ — the rapper’s friend, Cortlen Henry, drove to an ER in the wee hours of Oct. 26, asking for help for his two friends in his car, whom he claimed had been shot in a drive-by.
Cops say that the victims — Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. — were pronounced dead at the hospital. They were both shot in the head, torso and back. Police say it was a grisly scene … blood splattered about the car.
Cortlen told police he and his two pals had just wrapped a late night studio sesh, and as he was pulling off the freeway … a car pulled up on his driver’s side and opened fire. Cops confirm there were 8 bullet holes along the right side of the vehicle — where Williams and Thomas sat. Cortlen escaped injury.
As police investigated Henry’s account, they found forensic evidence leading them to believe he lied and was covering up a very different murder.
Cops say they found a shell casing inside the vehicle, along with 8 matching shell casings in a different location, where cops think YNW and Henry shot up the car to make it look like a drive-by.
Cops say the initial shot was fired from inside the vehicle — not outside, as Henry claimed — and originated from the left rear passenger side of the car, which is where they say they later discovered YNW had been sitting.
Police say surveillance footage from the recording studio shows YNW, Henry, Williams and Thomas getting in the car to leave. YNW got into the back left seat.
Cops say after Williams and Thomas were shot, YNW and Henry drove around with the dead bodies “for a period of time” before driving to the hospital. Henry later told police YNW was, in fact, in the same car with them … but exited at some point and got in another car.
WOW. This YNW Melly guy sounds like one disturbed fella.
Put him UNDER the jail and throw away the key. Periodt!
Hours after Jordyn Woods’ “Red Table Talk” interview with Jada Pinkett Smith about the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal, Black Twitter rallied behind her as Kardashian fans trashed her for being what they consider a homewrecker.
In her interview, Woods said that she wasn’t the reason behind Khloe and Tristan’s relationship falling apart, and Khloe went off on her on Twitter, calling her a liar and saying to her “You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
The next day, Khloe appeared to have a change of heart and backtracked on her original comments to Jordyn, this time placing the blame on her baby daddy, where it actually belongs.
“Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family,” she said. “This was Tristan’s fault.”
She added: “I have to move on with my life & count my blessings, my family, my health, & my beautiful baby True.”
Now, on the surface, one would think that Khloe is trying to be the bigger person here … but if you head on over to Twitter and peep the #TeamJordyn hashtag, you can clearly see why Khloe changed her tune so suddenly. HOMEGIRL GETTIN’ DRAGGED ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Stop going after a 21 year old girl for a mistake. Yes, a serious one, but dragging her in public using millions of K's followers to slut shame her, is disgusting. In the end, @jordynwoods will come out looking much better than all of you.#teamJordyn
The truth is. Khloe is a hypocrite. How do you encourage strength in women but find no problem in publicly attacking a 21yr old who is probably the 10th woman your "boyfriend" cheated on you with? #TeamJordyn
How immature for a “grown” woman to lash out at a child like that. And I say child because this girl is just 21. We make mistakes so that we can learn. Regardless of what really happened, no one else is responsible for keeping your family together but you #TeamJordyn
Black Twitter has rallied around #TeamJordyn we are not letting our sis get canceled! People make mistakes but we are not here for dragging someone’s name through the mud and blaming them for ruining an already cracked relationship!! pic.twitter.com/tBTFXVeHQS
Black twitter coming for a 34-yo yt woman who blames a 21-yo Black woman for breaking up her family, when said yt woman hails from a family of yt women who built careers out of dating Black men already in relationships…is some of the best Black twitter in ages. #teamJordynpic.twitter.com/7v63vxG3TO
@khloekardashian You can’t keep a man that doesn’t want you, stop blaming everyone else but yourself. It was your fault for taking him back knowing that he had cheated on you not once but twice, DEM he even cheated on his ex with you. You should have known better. #TEAMJORDYN
Notice how the KarTRASHians cannot handle when women do to them the same thing they do to other people. All them sisters are homewrecking opportunists but let somebody use those same methods against them. That family been trash? NEXT CASE! #TeamJordynpic.twitter.com/RAWaaMVYpv

"WE got you"
"The world isn't going to break you. WE won't allow it"
It seems as though Khloe Kardashian has had a change of heart over this whole Jordyn Woods/Tristan Thompson cheating scandal.
On Friday (Mar. 1), after Jordyn’s “Red Table Talk” episode with Jada Pinkett-Smith went live on Facebook Watch, Khloe went off on Jordyn for “lying” in her interview, saying that she’s the reason why her relationship with Tristan is in the trash.
“If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story,” Khloe tweeted. “BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
After having a day to reflect, Khloe has apparently come to her senses and realized that Jordyn isn’t the one who broke up her family … it’s all her baby daddy’s fault!
She tweeted on Saturday: “This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a rollercoaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time.”
Khloe continued: “What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault.”
She concluded with this: “I have to move on with my life & count my blessings, my family, my health, & my beautiful baby True.”

So it took all damn week of you bullying @jordynwoods & people dragging your silly ass, for it to finally click in your head that your man ain’t shit? GIRL, you owe that girl a SERIOUS public apology & ya’ clique too! Should’ve kept your ass off social media “since you so hurt.” pic.twitter.com/JVRlvSzBMl
Kevin Garnett and his estranged wife Brandi are getting a divorce, and Brandi is trying to make sure she’s set for life!
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Brandi Garnett wants $146,000 per month in spousal support plus another $46K in child support for their two daughters, who are 10 and 6 years old. Brandi says she has the girls “95 percent of the time,” according to TMZ.
If Brandi gets what she wants, she’ll be getting $192,000 per month, which equals out to about $2.3 million a year. Brandi says that’s more than fair because she claims KG makes at least $5 million annually on top of the more than $340 million he earned in his NBA career.
On top of the nearly $200K/month in spousal and child support, Brandi is also seeking to be reimbursed $300K in attorney fees to cover the cost of the divorce proceedings so far as well as estimated future costs.
And that’s not all. According to the court docs, Brandi is requesting an additional $25K to pay for attorneys regarding another financial matter involving Kevin allegedly getting swindled out of $77 million by his accountant and a crooked wealth manager.
Brandi filed for divorce from Kevin in July 2018 after 14 years of marriage citing irreconcilable differences.
KG filed a motion in court last month asking for joint legal and physical custody of their kids, according to The Blast. He also asked the court to terminate spousal support for Brandi, citing a prenup the couple signed a month before they got married.
Life after a reality show can either be healing or disastrous.
For Peter Thomas, Cynthia Bailey’s ex-husband and a former Bravolebrity on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I’m gonna venture that life without cameras is not treating Uncle Ben too well.
TMZ broke the news that Peter Thomas was booked and jailed as soon as he landed in Miami Friday afternoon (Mar. 1). Reason being is that there was an out-of-state warrant for his arrest in Louisiana as he’s apparently been accused of writing fraudulent checks.
He’s being held without bond and was still in jail at the time this article was published, nearly 24 hours after his arrest.
The biggest surprise in all of this is that who knew Peter did business in Louisiana? I was fairly certain that his moneymaking schemes were limited to just North Carolina and Georgia.
I know Cynthia Bailey is breathing a fresh sigh of relief that she side-stepped this embarrassment tsunami.
As far as the Kardashians go, they are certainly no angels. But just because the Kardashians have gotten their come up by doing hoe shit, doesn’t mean that they can’t call foul when someone in their inner circle violates the girl code.
And yet, for some reason, black social media is flocking to the defense of Jordyn Woods in the case against Khloe Kardashian under the guise of, “They’re picking on a black girl.”
After hiding from the masses for a good minute, Jordyn finally broke her silence by sitting at her Auntie Jada’s red table for a little filmed therapy session. But here’s the problem: Jordyn didn’t tell the full truth.
Oh, I know that she said she did and she even offered to take a lie detector to prove she was telling the truth, but I don’t believe her. Here’s why.
Jordyn Woods Wants to Appear Accountable But Isn’t Really Accountable
Throughout her session with Jada, Jordyn keeps saying, “I’m not trying to paint myself as the victim,” but that’s precisely her end-game when you listen to her testimony. According to Jordyn’s version of events, the only thing she did wrong was go to Tristan’s house for the after party.
But I’m fairly certain the thing she did wrong was get physically intimate with Tristan Thompson, her best friend’s sister’s baby daddy. Khloe would’ve been fine with Jordyn going to the party but what Khloe and none of the Kardashians expected was for Jordyn to do anything romantic with her baby daddy. The dangling of the legs on each other and the “kiss” they exchanged are at the heart of the issue. Be accountable for that.
Jordyn Woods Claims She Doesn’t Blame Tristan Either
Now hold up, this is where Jordyn really lost me during the Red Table Talk episode. Her words to Jada were: “I was drunk. I was not tipsy. I was drunk, but I was not beyond the point of recollection. I know where I was. But on the way out, he did kiss me. No passion—no nothing—on the way out. He just kissed me. It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss, no making out. Nothing. And I don’t think he’s wrong, either, because I allowed myself in that position. And when alcohol’s involved, people make dumb moves or people get caught up in the moment.”
So in this whole story you concocted, you admit that you’re pissy drunk and you admit that you stayed out partying until the wee hours of the morning, and yet you’d have us believe that Tristan Thompson, a known freak-a-leek womanizer, just kissed you on the lips good-bye with “no passion?”
That unbelievable lie is an insult in and of itself, but for her to then go to the trouble of ABSOLVING Tristan, when she’s claiming he kissed her lets you know that Ms. Jordyn is hiding something. She’s covering up for Tristan because she knows that whatever went down that night or has been going between the two of them for a while now, is why Tristan felt comfortable kissing her on the lips.
Jordyn wants to have her cake and eat it too. She wants to appear honest but she also doesn’t want to throw Tristan under the bus because she knows that if she does, that might provoke him to speak out and really reveal the extent of her deceit and betrayal.
Willow Did Not Have Time to Hear Jordyn’s Bullshit
For this episode of Red Table Talk, Jada took on the task of interviewing Jordyn by herself. Her mom briefly made an appearance in the intro to the show, but most notably absent was Young Willow Smith. My theory: With Willow being a millennial like Jordyn, she was too hip to the bullshit to sit there and fake the funk, so she told her mama, “Nah, girl. I’ma sit this one out.”
Willow, as we all know, has an all-seeing third eye and when that third eye sees bullshit, she stays well away from the mess.

So, yeah. Jordyn Woods’ story is a whole-ass lie and yet many black people are caping for her because they’re mad that the Kardashian/Jenner girls routinely and repeatedly date/marry/breed with black men.
Some people, however, have rightly pointed out that many of the Kardashian/Jenner girls have been accused of doing exactly what Jordyn did: Sleep with a friend’s man or ex-man. Point in case: Khloe Kardashian linking up with French Montana when he was definitely boo’d up with Trina.
Trina, being the petty diva that she is, quietly posted an IG post saying she was “minding the business” she gets paid to mind, but The Shade Room pulled the receipts and sure enough, Trina says that she found out about Khloe and French when the world did. In fact, he was living with her when he started linking up with Khloe behind her back.
So if you want to go after the Kardashians for being hypocrites, then OK. But don’t sit up here and actually believe that cock and bull story Jordyn is trying to peddle on your Facebook Newsfeeds because that fable is watered down horse shit that was given air time only because the Smiths wanted to defend a family friend. PERIODT.
