Boosie Badazz has been showing all the way OWT on Instagram Live, even more than usual thanks to everyone being forced into quarantine amid the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Over the past week or so, the Louisiana rapper has been paying female fans $25 to show their breasts on IG Live for what he dubbed “QTD” (aka Quarantine Titty Day). And during one particular Livestream, he paid two women to eat each other out while 18,000 people watched.
Obviously, all of this goes against Instagram’s TOS, and the platform recently slid in the rapper’s DMs with a cease-and-desist telling him to halt his recent IG Live activities.
“Instagram just DM’d me! Told me stop my actions,” Boosie said Tuesday (Mar. 24) on IG Live. “I ain’t stopping sh*t… because we on quarantine. F**k! Can’t leave the f**king house, everybody’s f**ked up. Talking about stop your actions. Leave my live then, f**k! I don’t give a f**k, mayne. I’m showing the world a good time. Everytime I try to show the world a good time they just try and take it from me.”

The coronavirus pandemic and social distancing has put a halt to many television productions, including the popular Real Housewives franchise.
Housewives creator Andy Cohen is one of the celebrities who have tested positive for COVID-19 and is recovering at home.
He recently spoke with SiriusXM host Amy Phillips to give an update on how upcoming Housewives seasons have been impacted by self-quarantining and if we’ll even get a Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion this year.
“We’re really behind in the Atlanta edit, we were supposed to be shooting the reunion today for Atlanta. Obviously, that’s not happening. Hopefully we will be able to shoot it soon.”
RHOA is currently airing the latter half of its 12th season. But as Cohen explained, even those episodes could be delayed.
It was previously announced that the reunion had been postponed in order to protect the cast and crew from COVID-19. But now, a rescheduled shoot is even uncertain.
Cohen also stated that early premieres of Beverly Hills and New York for the millions of viewers quarantining at home are also unlikely because video editors are also self-isolating.
“The issue is there’s only a certain amount of episodes totally color-corrected and locked right now, for both of those shows,” he said.
“We’re working on having a plan in place where people will be editing remotely. It’s going to be a slower process, it’s going to take longer.”
Cohen did have some good news about The Real Housewives of Potomac, though. The trailer for the show’s fifth season will drop soon.
50 Cent is extremely concerned about people’s health during the global Coronavirus Pandemic. So much so, that he’s worried people are going to start getting fat while self-quarantining.
The rapper and businessman appeared on “My Monday Morning,” a Wall Street Journal series about self-motivated people kicking off their week and encouraged people who are stuck at home to keep exercising.
“This is day five, right here. I feel there are no safer options out here. There’s not much,” 50 Cent said of his own self-isolation experience.
“I guess when I want to go to the gym I’ll go to a track and I’ll just run outside. Still, you know what they say, keep your social distance. Being conscious of that.”
However, 50 is worried that many will slack off of their usual exercise routine.
“But a lot of people are not making adjustments, so they’re just going to sit home and they’re going to get fat. They’ll get fat.”
The Power star added that he has an alternative to his personal trainer that works best for him: Watching “really fit” women on Instagram.
“I don’t want to not be able to do it when it’s a girl telling me to do it. When you’re training legs, you should definitely train with women, because that’s all they train,” he said.
“After a while you’re like, ‘Yo, what is this?’ You know what I’m saying? Like, ‘What the f*ck you all been doing in here?'”
Just last week, 50 Cent was telling his fans that he had the cure for COVID-19 and would help them get a hook-up for the right price.
“This right here is the cure for the coronavirus according to Trump. So as soon as he said that, I had to get me some,” 50 said in an Instagram video.
The rapper was in possession of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate Tablets, a drug used to treat malaria and certain auto-immune diseases that Trump has touted as a possible treatment for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.
However, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve the use of chloroquine to treat the virus.
An Arizona man died this week after taking chloroquine phosphate following Trump’s press conference. The man consumed a version of the drug that is commonly used to clean fish tanks and aquariums.
Cardi B has a very “interesting” theory about the novel coronavirus.
While a number of celebrities have revealed that they have COVID-19, including Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, NBA star Kevin Durant, Bravo’s Andy Cohen and more, but not everyone has exhibited symptoms, which has Cardi a bit confused.
“Let’s say if I have the coronavirus right now. How am I supposed to know I got it because sometimes y’all be like, ‘If y’all have a cough, you have it,'” she said on Instagram Live on Saturday (Mar. 21).
“But then I be seeing these basketball players say like, ‘Yeah, I have the coronavirus, but I don’t got no symptoms.’ So how the f**k am I supposed to know when I’m supposed to get tested for it? Y’all ni**as is playing with me. That’s my problem right there. ‘Cause y’all not really saying what it is.
She continued: “And it’s like, alright, so tell me what it is and what it ain’t. I’m starting to feel like y’all n***as is payin’ n***as to say that they got it, and if y’all are paying n***as to say that they got it, pay me too! Pay me too! Okay? Sh*t, ’cause I’m trying to get paid.”

Cardi is currently in the studio working on her new album, but she admitted she’s ready to be able to leave the house so she can get liposuction.
“A bitch tryna get lipo,” she said. “I needs to know when this shit gonna finish.”
Cardi’s coronavirus conspiracy theory comes as she continues to make headlines after “Coronavirus! Sh*t is getting real!” rant on IG was remixed by DJ iMarkkeyz and turned into a song that will soon debut on the Billboard charts.
Cardi, who helped promote the DJ iMarkkeyz remix on her socials, said she wants to donate proceeds from the sales and streams of the remix to charity, and DJ iMarkkeyz agreed, saying that was his “goal” from the beginning.
A photo of a South Carolina McDonald’s worker digging in her butt while working the drive-thru has gone viral on social media.
Facebook user Griselda Blanco, who shared the photo on her page, not only called the fast-food worker out for being extremely trifling and disgusting, but also revealed that the employee got to arguing with her in the comments of her post.
Since the photo went viral, the drive-thru worker has been identified as Zimesha Jenkins.
“This is beyond me! She had the nerve to get on the post. Y’all better not eat at McDonald’s in Barnwell,” Griselda Blanco wrote in a caption on the photo.
https://www.facebook.com/khadejahh/posts/2985619998126624
Griselda also shared a screenshot of the McDonald’s worker Zimesha Jenkins firing back in the comments and claiming that her hands were “backwards” and not in her butt.
“Bitch you gone make a post about me make sure you tag me next time my hands are clearly fucking backwards you stupid ass hoe,” Zimesha Jenkins responded in the comments.
Facebook users were appalled to say the least about the photo especially with the coronavirus and everything going on right now.
“It’s backwards alright. Back in her ass. Ain’t no way your hands should be nowhere near the crack and your working in a restaurant!!” one Facebook user said.
Another user called Jenkins a “Mcbitch” who needs to wash her hands and stop digging in her butt.
“[Mcscuse] me Mcbitch but you need to Mcwash your hands and stop diggin [in] your Mccrusty ass.”
One of Jenkins’ friends hopped in the comments and jumped to her defense, making it clear that she’s with all the smoke over her friend.
“I bet nobody under this post gone step to ha … that’s all ima say! that goes for the bitxh that made it,” Jenkins friend said to all those who had something to say.
Welp … guess it’s not safe to be getting food from the drive-thru either. We’re all doomed.
A 12-year-old Georgia girl with no pre-existing conditions is on a ventilator and “fighting for her life” in an Atlanta children’s hospital after she contracted coronavirus.
The girl, identified only as Emma by her cousin Justin Anthony, was diagnosed with pneumonia on Sunday, March 15th and tested positive for coronavirus on Friday (Mar. 20).
As of Saturday, Emma had been placed on a ventilator and was in stable condition, Anthony told CNN.
Anthony said Emma had no pre-existing conditions and hasn’t traveled recently, so her family isn’t sure how she contracted the virus.
He shared on Facebook:
“For those of you that think that kids can’t get Covid-19… Think Again!!! My 12 year old cousin just got diagnosed with Corona […] 2 days ago she started coughing blood and her lungs got worse and she had a transfusion. They then had to put a central line to her heart.”

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta-Scottish Rite Hospital confirmed that they were treating a patient who tested positive for COVID-19, but declined to go into details.
“The patient remains in isolation, and we have consistently used appropriate precautions. Additional details will not be released due to patient privacy laws,” said hospital spokeswoman Jessica Pope.
While it’s possible for anyone of any age to contract coronavirus, medical experts have said that older people and those with underlying health conditions are at a greater risk of falling seriously ill from the virus.
Children, even babies, can contract the virus and spread it, however, their symptoms are generally milder.
Anthony told CNN that Emma’s mother gave him permission to tell her story to the media to spread the word that young people are also in harm’s way when it comes to this deadly virus.
“I know first hand how dangerous it is,” he said. “Everyone keeps saying ‘it doesn’t impact younger people.’ But here’s a 12-year-old fighting for her life. People need to practice social distancing. People need to take care of their children. People need to take this seriously.”
NBA player Jamal Murray is apologizing after an NSFW video was published from his official Instagram account.
The Denver Nuggets guard became the No. 1 trend on Twitter early Sunday morning (Mar. 22) after a video showing a woman believed to be his girlfriend Harper Hempel performing oral sex on him was posted on his IG Stories late Saturday night.
After the video was promptly removed, as well as his entire Instagram account, Murray took to Twitter to address the situation.
“First and foremost I would like to apologize to my fans,” he wrote. “My account has been hacked, currently working on the issue. Thanks.”

The Denver Nuggets announced on Thursday (Mar. 19) that a member of their team had tested positive for coronavirus.
They didn’t reveal a name but said that the person started experiencing symptoms earlier in the week on Monday and they are “currently under the care of team medical staff and in self-isolation.”
The entire NBA was shut down on March 10th after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus, and the Nuggets announced that they’d be closing their facilities for two weeks amid the outbreak.
As of Sunday (Mar. 22), NBA players who have tested positive for COVID-19 include Gobert, his Jazz teammate Donovan Mitchell, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant along with three of his teammates, Pistons forward Christian Wood and two unidentified members of the Los Angeles Lakers.
A South Carolina woman has gone missing and her friends and family want the public to help them find her as they desperately seek answers.
A woman who goes by the name Alicia La’Von on Facebook posted on Friday (Mar. 20) that her best friend, Brittany Davis, had gone missing on March 7th, 2020 while vacationing in Puerto Rico.
“You guys my friend is #MISSING & has been since 3/7/2020,” Alicia wrote along with a collage of photos, including a missing persons flyer. “We have been friends for over ten years and she is my rock thru so many hard times. When my mom died she came to her funeral and just followed behind me to make sure no one upset me and made things worse.
Alicia added of Brittany: “She is my calm lamb through tough times and my friend that will silently check those who hurt me behind my back. I think someone’s hurt her or is hurting her. Please repost this and make it #VIRAL.
“She was last seen in San Juan, she loved it there. My country Macon, GA girl living her best island life. Please you guys, Pray and repost. @ all the blogs and send them her picture. And if you see or know anything please call any of the numbers listed on this flyer.”
https://www.facebook.com/againey2/posts/10215886560582317
Alicia returned to Facebook with an update on Saturday (Mar. 21), saying that Brittany’s last confirmed location was her residence in Greenville, South Carolina … but she still hasn’t heard from her in weeks.
“She was last seen with this man, who could be in the Atlanta area,” she wrote, along with a photo of the guy, whose name is believed to be Michael, but he also is said to go by the name Sunshine.

A healthy 39-year-old New Orleans woman died just days after she was tested for coronavirus. At the time of her death, she was still waiting for the test’s results.
According to reports, Natasha Ott was found dead on her kitchen floor Friday (Mar. 20) by her longtime boyfriend, Josh Anderson, while she was still waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test.
Anderson shared the heartbreaking story on Facebook, writing: “The time for joking about Covid-19 is over. Now is the time to keep yourself, your loved ones, and everyone else safe.”
Anderson said Ott, a social worker and Peace Corps alumni, first started experiencing cold symptoms on Tuesday, March 10th.
He said she texted him saying that she felt like she had a “respiratory cold” and a “tiny fever” to go along with it.
Ott worked as a counselor for HIV positive patients, so through her place of employment, she was able to obtain a coronavirus test.
However, because she was young and healthy, Ott was under the impression that she was low-risk and initially turned down one of the five available test kits so that more vulnerable people, like the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, could use them.
Ott went to her doctor instead to take a flu test, which came back negative.
She texted her boyfriend that Friday (Mar. 13) and said she didn’t think she needed to get tested unless she develops a fever. “All looks well,” she added.
But Ott started becoming heavily fatigued and feverish over the weekend, and texted Anderson Sunday night (Mar. 15): “Hey, I’m not feeling so hot still. I may be testing at work tomorrow. I’m probably fine. I just tried to drink some medicinal whiskey and feel unwell. I’m ok. I love you.”
Ott took the coronavirus test the next day, but was told she wouldn’t get the results back for several days
Two days later, while still waiting to find out whether or not she’d contracted COVID-19, Ott texted Anderson “I don’t want to be sick anymore” and “I just don’t understand why I don’t feel much better yet.”
Ott said she was feeling a bit better on Thursday (Mar. 18), well enough to join Anderson to take her dog for a walk, though they maintained spatial distance from each other.
Anderson shared on Facebook: “She had more energy than she’d had in days, and she ended up walking [her dog] Zola with me. She did complain that she felt like ‘something’ was in her lungs. She also mentioned that her Coronavirus test results were delayed, and likely wouldn’t come back until Monday.”
Friday morning (Mar. 19), Ott texted Anderson: “Good morning! I love you,” to which Anderson replied: “Morning, sunshine, How you feeling?”
Ott responded: “A little better and hopeful.”
Anderson texted Ott throughout the day, but at some point, Ott stopped responding.
Anderson explained on Facebook: “I called twice, with no reply … I wrote: ‘I’m getting nervous. Just called twice. Text or call me soon. If I don’t hear from you within the hour I’m coming over there to check on you.'”
When Anderson went to Ott’s home on Friday evening, he found her dead on the kitchen floor.
“Seeing a woman I knew to be so full of life lying on the floor lifeless was devastating. I was afraid to touch her. I held her anyway,” he wrote.
Speaking fondly of his longtime love, Anderson continued: “Natasha was a profoundly kind, passionate, funny and loving 39-year-old woman in good health… she loved those who were fortunate enough to be close to her with every ounce of her heart.”
Anderson added: “The absolute least-interesting thing about her was the way that she died, but I’d like to talk about that here now because I’d like everyone to wake-up to the reality of what we are facing.”
The results for Ott’s coronavirus test are still pending and aren’t expected to be released until Monday (Mar. 23).
While the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office hasn’t released an official cause of death and state officials haven’t said whether or not they believe Ott’s death was a case of coronavirus, Andersons says he believes that’s exactly what it was.
If someone you know is showing symptoms, “you need to check with that person … not every day, but every hour,” Anderson added. “And at any point, if they say anything about their lungs, you need to get them to the hospital.”
Anderson said what happened to his girlfriend should be a wake-up call for anyone who still believes COVID-19 shouldn’t be taken seriously.
“I believed that people should stay home, but I don’t think I fully understood what the consequences could be if they didn’t,” he said.
Lil Boosie smokes weed and pops pills around his kids and could give a f**k less what anyone thinks about it.
During a recent Instagram Live session, Boosie spazzed out when a fan criticized him for smoking weed in front of his children.
The “Wipe Me Down” rapper instantly “set this bitch off” on the fan, making it crystal clear that he has been and will always smoke weed around his kids.
Boosie also admitted to popping pills in front of his seeds and being high off pills and angel dust when he first saw them at the hospital when they were born.
“I been smoking around them since they came from the hospital! I was full of pills when I went and got them from the hospital! I smoke weed when they came out the hospital and they were still in the incubator!” Boosie yelled in the video.
“I went and got them, full of pills and angel dust,” he added. What else you want to know?”
Despite being around all the weed smoke, Boosie says his kids are damn smart and are on the A/B Honor Roll. He suggests other parents should follow in his footsteps and do the same.
Boosie also accused the same people calling him out of doing sexual favors in front of their kids.
“Do you suck d*ck around your kids? Do you eat n*t around your kids?” Boosie angrily questioned fans.
https://www.facebook.com/prettyqul.hatten/videos/2712077638847920/
It’s clear at this point … Boosie has absolutely nothing to hide.
One thing you can always expect from Boosie is the raw and uncut. This man doesn’t care what he says or who it offends.
A Chicago woman is capturing the hearts of many after revealing in an emotional post on social media that her grandmother died suddenly after contracting coronavirus.
In a lengthy post she shared on her Facebook page (March 20), Tai’vionna Marie spoke on how devastated she was to find out the news about her grandmother.
Because experts still aren’t 100% clear on how the COVID-19 virus is transmitted, those who are gravely ill with coronavirus in hospitals are typically unable to have any visitors.
Tai’vionna said that her grandmother died alone at the hospital, and her family wasn’t even able to tell her goodbye.
Tai’vionna also warned others to take coronavirus seriously.
“Let me just say the CORONAVIRUS IS VERY MUCH REAL,” she wrote.
Tai’vionna continued:
“Today my grandmother took her last breath & none of us was able to give her a kiss goodbye, tell her we love her, touch her , NOTHING … I didn’t want her to leave this world like that … I wanted her to hear I loved her one last time, give her one kiss one last time
“I never knew the last time I seen her in the hospital was literally the last time I would see her as herself … I wanted to be there with you every step of the way because you was there for me ALWAYS, whether from a distance to us living together YOU WERE THERE You are apart of who I am TODAY … you’ve shaped me to be INDEPENDENT and To be one hell of a woman
“I’m so numb , I been going in & out of it all day … I got pawpaw for sure … until the day he takes his final breath … I’m grateful for the moments you spent w. Mai’Anna now she has a guardian angel watching over her … My Love For You Is Endless … Rest Easy My Sweet Lady
https://www.facebook.com/taivi.smith/posts/2969256343133757
Many responded to Tai’vionna Marie’s post, sending their condolences to her family and apologizing for their loss.
“Sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine what you’re going through,” read one comment on the viral post, which saw more than 13,000 shares.
“I am truly sorry for your loss,” another person commented. “I would like to offer you and your family my deepest and most sincere condolences and may the soul of your grandmother rest in peace. May our friendship and prayers ease you through this difficult time.”
One commenter remembered Tai’vionna’s grandmother as one of her customers at Walgreens. She said that the woman’s grandmother was a beautiful soul.
“Sorry for your [loss], your granny was my everyday customer when I was working at Walgreens,” the commenter wrote. “I was working at Walgreens wow what a beautiful soul.”
This goes to show how important it is to check up on your parents, grandparents, and elderly people you know during this stressful, challenging time. Life is too short.
Legendary country music singer Kenny Rogers has died. He was 81 years old.
According to a statement from Rogers’ family Friday (Mar. 20), he passed away the night of Thursday, March 19th in his Sandy Springs, Georgia home “from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family.”
Rogers’ family noted in their statement that they were planning to hold a small funeral for close family members due to the COVID-19 aka coronavirus pandemic.
The family added that they “look forward to celebrating Kenny’s life publicly with his friends and fans at a later date.”

— Kenny Rogers (@_KennyRogers) March 21, 2020
Born in Houston on August 21st, 1938 in Houston, Texas, Kenny Rogers went on to become one of the most successful country music artists of his generation, with a career spanning over six decades.
Rogers had over 60 Top 40 hits, like “The Gambler,” “Lady,” and “Island in the Stream.” Of those hits, 24 of them went to No. 1. He’s also a three-time Grammy Award winner and also won the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013.
Not only was Rogers the best-selling country music artists of all time, but he also found success in film, starring as Brewster Baker in the 1982 movie Six Pack.
Rogers also appeared on the small screen over the years, with guest starring roles on TV shows like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Touched by an Angel, How I Met Your Mother, and TV movies, including The Gambler, which inspired four sequels: Coward of the County, and Christmas in America.
In 2015, he starred in the hit Geico commercial inspired by his Grammy-winning song “The Gambler.”
In 2018, health problems forced Rogers to have to cancel a number of shows during what was being called his farewell concert tour. In May 2019, he was admitted to a Georgia hospital for dehydration amid rumors that he was in failing health.
“Kenny Rogers has been working through a series of health challenges and has been advised to cancel all performances through the end of the year to focus on recuperation,” read a statement from the singer’s management at the time.
“I didn’t want to take forever to retire,” Rogers was once quoted as saying. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to say farewell to the fans over the course of the past two years on ‘The Gambler’s Last Deal’ tour.”
Kenny is survived by his wife, Wanda Miller Rogers, and his five children—one from his first marriage, another from his third marriage, a third from his fourth marriage, and the twins he shared with Wanda.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
And, unfortunately, pictures are painting a gruesome story of what went down in the hotel room that caused rising politician Andrew Gillum to enter rehab and left a male escort overdosing.
Crystal meth, prescription pills, several bottles of alcohol, and even a drug for erectile dysfunction were all found in the Miami hotel room Gillum and escort Travis Dyson were found in last Friday morning (Mar. 13).
Through the Freedom of Information Act, The Daily Mail has obtained several police photos from the scene.
One unverified photo appears to show Gillum naked and passed out and towels covered in vomit.
The 4-star South Beach hotel room was trashed when police arrived. Vomit and sheets covered with bodily fluids were sprawled throughout the room.
Police found three baggies of crystal meth, several empty beer bottles, and bottles of spilled pills, including anti-anxiety pills and prescription pills used to treat seizures.
An injectable medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (which shouldn’t be mixed with alcohol) was also found in the room.
Police were called to the troubling scene after being notified of someone in cardiac arrest. When they arrived, paramedics were treating Dyson, 30, for “a suspected drug overdose.”
Officers tried to speak with Gillum, 40, but he was too “inebriated” to give them any information about what went down. He was sent home and is not expected to face any charges.
Gillum later publicly stated that he did NOT do any meth during the incident.
The politician and escort’s wild night took a dramatic turn when Aldo Mejias knocked on the hotel door late Thursday night and saw Dyson passed out on the bed, while Gillum was vomiting in the bathroom.
Mejias called 911 when Dyson began struggling to breathe and he couldn’t wake him up.
Mejias told police that Dyson and Gillum were both “under the influence of an unknown substance” when he arrived.
Gillum—who ran a close race for the governor of Florida in 2018 and has been touted as a potential 2020 Democratic vice presidential candidate—has since entered rehab for alcohol abuse.
“After conversation with my family and deep reflection, I have made the decision to seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility at this time…This has been a wake-up call for me. Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse.”
The former Tallahassee mayor and father of three announced that he is stepping down from “all public facing roles” and apologized to his family and supporters.
“I want to apologize to my family, friends and the people of Florida who have supported me and put their faith in me over the years,” he said.
Although Gillum has stated that he was in Miami for a wedding, Dyson told reporters that he’s known Gillum “for a while” and was not aware of any wedding.
Much is still unknown of what exactly transpired in that hotel room, but these shocking photos are filling in some of the gaps.
Hopefully, Gillum and all parties involved get the help they need to work through this matter.
Police currently have no plans to charge Gillum or Dyson.
50 Cent says he has the cure for coronavirus, and for the right price, he can get you the hookup.
In a video he just posted on Instagram, 50 shows off a pair of black shades he recently copped and says he is channeling Migos rapper Quavo.
“I’m on my New York sh*t. Got on my joints you see, I’m channeling Quavo,” he says in the clip.
50 then walks through his luxurious dining room and pulls out a bottle of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate Tablets, which he says is the cure to the coronavirus, according to President Trump.
“This right here is the cure for the coronavirus according to Trump. So as soon as he said that, I had to get me some,” 50 said.
50 went on to add that if anyone needs the cure he can maybe get his hands on it for them, but it’s going to cost them some big bucks.
“Now if you need some help maybe I can make a phone call,” he said. “I’m tapped in baby so imma get what I got to get.”

50 also posted in the comments, saying he’s going to give the pills to Kevin Durant tomorrow.
Durant announced earlier this week that he tested positive for coronavirus. Not sure if he is going to be too fond of 50 Cent’s offer for help.
A 7-month-old baby in South Carolina has tested positive for coronavirus.
The news comes as a big shocker since it is one of the youngest cases being reported.
Courtney Doster, who is from Kershaw County, told WIS-TV News her infant son Emmett had a fever on Monday (Mar. 16) and she spent several hours on the phone with DHEC and Prisma Health officials to figure out where a baby could be tested for coronavirus.
“We finally were able to get an answer to get him to Urgent Care in Elgin,” she said. “And we brought him in there, and they made us get a mask and everything, and they put us in an isolation room for him to be tested.”
Doster said that the doctors diagnosed Emmett with viral pneumonia and on Monday his fever spiked to 104 degrees, prompting her to rush him to Prisma Health Children’s Hospital, where they spent the night.
On Tuesday, Emmett’s COVID-19 test came back positive.
Doster’s mother also tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday (Mar. 14), WYFF reports.
Officials with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control are not sure where Doster’s mother contracted the virus, but she had been around Emmett before she knew she was sick.
Doster, who also has two other children, says only Emmett has been tested for COVID-19, but she and the rest of her family are under a legal contract with the DHEC to not leave their home until April 1st.
She said her 4-year-old and 2-year-old children are not showing any signs of the virus, but she and her husband are worried.
“We’re watching them closely and checking their temperatures, keeping an eye on them just to make sure that they don’t show any symptoms just because the period can be up to 14 days, so there is a very big possibility that they become sick, too,” Doster explained.
Doster also said due to doctors’ orders, she has only been able to give Emmett Tylenol because ibuprofen and breathing treatments could worsen the symptoms of COVID-19.
“It’s very, very scary not to know — could he make a turn for the worse tonight and just not be able to breathe,” she said. “I’ve noticed him coughing more than he did in the beginning and so that’s very scary.”
Keep baby Emmett in your prayers, y’all…
A former call center employee is in big trouble after lying about testing positive for coronavirus just so he could be out of work for two weeks.
31-year-old Jeffrey Travis Long from Inman, South Carolina is being charged with breach of peace and forgery after he claimed to his job that he had the virus.
Long—who worked at Sitel Corporation, a contact center in Spartanburg County—forged a fake doctor’s note stating that he had the virus, causing the business to shut down for five days.
His note was revealed to be fake after doctors at the office he was supposed to have been treated at confirmed he had never been seen by their facility.
Investigators also told WYFF News 4 that Long’s note did not have an official stamp from the hospital.
Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said in a press conference Long lied about having COVID-19 to get out of work for two weeks.
“He just wanted a two week vacation,” Wright said of the suspect.
Sitel released a statement Sunday (Mar. 15) about the fraudulent claims made by Long and the ongoing investigation.
“On March 13, we reported to authorities that an employee at our Spartanburg, South Carolina site self-reported testing positive for COVID-19. Once reported, we immediately evacuated employees from the Spartanburg site and conducted rigorous sanitization of the entire facility.
“Today, the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office alerted Sitel that this employee made fraudulent claims about testing positive for COVID-19.
“Based on these fraudulent claims, the Spartanburg Sheriff’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for this individual. The individual is no longer employed at Sitel.
“We are currently working in close partnership with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, and since this is an ongoing investigation, we will direct any requests for statements or information about this investigation to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.
“At this time, our focus is on the safety and wellbeing of our employees who returned to work at our Spartanburg site on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020. We’ve taken precautionary safety measures at this site to ensure:
We communicated this situation to all employees. Linked here is an update we’ve shared with our employees.
We continue to follow all COVID-19 safety protocols (outlined above in our Overview) to protect the safety of our employees.”
Long was granted a $10,000 bond and fined $200. The sheriff’s office will also file an additional count of forgery against him.
Bravo star Andy Cohen is the latest celebrity to reveal that they’ve tested positive for COVID-19 aka coronavirus.
Cohen took to Instagram Friday (Mar. 20) to announce the news, writing:
“After a few days of self-quarantine, and not feeling great, I have tested positive for Coronavirus. As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we’re putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better. I want to thank all the medical professionals who are working tirelessly for all of us, and urge everybody to stay home and take care of themselves.”
This news comes just one week after it was revealed that Bravo had halted production for the upcoming Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 12 reunion not long after President Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency.
Johnny Depp’s text messages from the time of the breakdown of his marriage to Amber Heard were at the center of the latest High Court hearing in his libel case against The Sun newspaper over allegations he was violent and abusive towards his ex-wife.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 56, is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publishers of The Sun, and the newspaper’s executive editor Dan Wootton over an April 2018 article which referred to him as a “wife-beater.”
A two-week trial is due to begin in London on Monday (Mar. 23), at which Mr. Depp, Ms. Heard and a number of Hollywood figures are due to give evidence.
At a hearing on Friday (Mar. 20), Mr. Justice Nicol is set to decide whether the worldwide coronavirus crisis means the trial needs to be adjourned.
At that hearing, Adam Wolanski QC, for NGN, read out a text from Mr. Depp to his sister Christi Dembrowski in June 2016, in which he says: “I want her replaced on that WB film.”
Mr. Wolanski said the text was a reference to the Warner Brothers film Aquaman which featured Ms. Heard.
He added: “There now exists online a petition for Ms. Heard to be removed from the role which has generated 400,000 signatures. Her sole fault appears to be that she crossed Mr. Depp, one of the most influential and revered people in Hollywood.”
The barrister read out another text, sent by Mr. Depp to his friend Christian Carino on August 15, 2016, the day after Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard “executed an agreement resolving issues around the dissolution of their marriage”.
The text read: “She is begging for global humiliation. She is going to get it. I’m going to need your texts from San Francisco brother… I’m sorry to even ask… but she sucked Mollusk’s crooked d*ck and he gave her some sh*tty lawyers.”
Mr. Wolanski told the court that “Mollusk” was a reference to Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla co-founder.
The message continued: “I have no mercy, no fear and not an ounce of emotion or what I thought was love for this gold-digging, low-level, dime-a-dozen, mushy, pointless, dangling, overused flappy fish market…
“I’m so happy she wants to go to fight this out. She will hit the wall hard.
“And I cannot wait to have this waste of a c*m-guzzler out of my life. She will hit the wall hard.
“I met a f**king sublime little Russian here… which made me realize that time I blew on the 50-cent stripper… I would not touch her with a goddamn glove.
“I can only hope that karma kicks in and takes the gift of breath from her. Sorry man, but now I will stop at nothing.”
Adam Waldman, a U.S. lawyer for Mr. Depp who is not representing him in the libel claim, said in a statement after the hearing: “The desperate Sun tabloid read out a text today without realizing how much profound truth it contained.
“That text, in which Mr. Depp speculates that Elon Musk is secretly supporting Amber Heard’s hoax, is curious in light of this fact: The Murdochs own the Sun, and a Murdoch serves on Elon Musk’s Tesla board of directors.
“When court is safe again, justice will be waiting for everybody in this case.”
A Charlotte man has been arrested after he shot and killed a transgender woman inside of an ambulance.
32-year-old Prentice Bess is being charged with murder and was taken into custody on Wednesday morning (March 18).
The shooting victim was identified as 34-year-old Monica Diamond.
According to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, officers were called to a Days Inn hotel after a disturbance reported involving several people.
Diamond was said to have been on the scene and treated outside of the hotel by paramedics (MEDIC) after having difficulty breathing.
While being examined, Diamond asked MEDIC for Prentice Bess to come in the ambulance with her, but the request was denied due to hospital protocol that does not allow other people inside ambulances.
Bess left the scene after being told he could not enter the ambulance, but returned shortly afterward and shot Diamond several times. MEDIC tried to save Diamond, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation in the shooting is ongoing, according to authorities.
