Shots Fired: Mariah Carey’s Brother Speaks Out On Her Abandoning Drug Addicted Sister & Says He’s Scared Of Retaliation [Video]

Morgan Carey, Mariah’s brother, lives in Italy and is speaking out about the songstress abandoning their sister and not speaking to him in over 6-years!

InsideEdition:

Mariah Carey has been called out by her own brother, who’s accusing the singer of abandoning her troubled sister.

Speaking to Inside Edition from Florence, Italy, Mariah’s older brother, Morgan, 51, spoke about his broken family, saying: “Mariah doesn’t care about anyone other than herself.”

Alison Carey, 55, was arrested on prostitution charges earlier week at a low budget motel in upstate New York. She has pleaded not guilty.

Cops say she placed an online ad soliciting sex that borrowed lines from her sister’s 1996 hit, “Fantasy,”

“I’m a pretty lady looking for guys…with me it’s such a sweet, sweet fantasy baby!” the ad read.

The arrest is the latest crisis for Alison, who in her younger days wanted to be a singer just like Mariah, but she ended up battling drugs and falling on hard times.

Morgan said: “I would hope Mariah could find it in her heart to forgive Alison her transgressions and step up, create a trust, let’s make sure Alison’s needs are met.”

Morgan and Mariah were once very close. In fact, Morgan — a model and music producer — claims he was instrumental in Mariah becoming a superstar.

“There wouldn’t be a Mariah Carey today if it hadn’t been for me,” he claims.

He says he has not spoken to Mariah in six years following a nasty rift tore them apart.

Morgan says he’s upset because Mariah refuses to help Alison, even after she recorded a desperate public plea for help in March.

Mariah’s publicist says she has done a lot over the years to give Alison a helping hand.

“Through the years, Mariah has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting Alison and her children,” the statement said.

Morgan says: “I will always be puzzled why Alison, a heroin addict, has always been given large sums of money from Mariah her whole life. You can’t put large sums of cash into the hands of a drug addict.”

Incredibly, Morgan fears retaliation from his famous sister and her fans for speaking out.

“It’s about protecting this fiction she has created, this image she has created, it’s about keeping the darkest secrets covered up,” he said.

It is believed Mariah has not spoken to her sister since 1994.

Watch Angry Iowa Pig Yank On Cuffed Suspect’s Dreads & Hit Him During Arrest [Video]

This footage is crazy! Do you think the police have the right to be yanking on dreadlocks and hitting people after they ran?

An angry police officer in Iowa repeatedly yanked on the dreadlocks of a handcuffed Suspect who was arrested after a dangerous high-speed chase. Waterloo Officer Adam Wittmayer, who also hit 24-year-old Montavis Keller twice on the back of the head, was disciplined for his actions after the April 19 incident. “I don’t condone Officer Wittmayer’s conduct whatsoever,” Waterloo Police Chief Daniel Trelka said. Keller’s lawyer Tom Frerichs forwarded the video to the FBI this week and asked for an inquiry. The FBI is aware of the video and is mulling whether to open a case. “I can’t think of any other job in which an employee is allowed to repeatedly hit another person, pull out some of their hair and still keep their job,” Frerichs said.

The chase began when another officer spotted Keller flying through traffic. When cops attempted to pull him over, Keller sped away. Other patrol cars joined the chase as the suspect hit speeds up to 90 mph. Wittmayer was able to put down tire-puncturing sticks to disable Keller’s car, which dangerously went around a school bus and then toward the officer, “who had to run to get out of harm’s way,” according to a criminal complaint. Black Hawk County Attorney Brian Williams asked the Iowa attorney general’s office to review Wittmayer’s actions after discovering the footage, according to an email obtained by the AP under the open records law.

“I am not prejudging anything, but I do believe it needs an independent review,” Williams wrote to Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown. Brown said he believed no criminal charges were sustainable against Wittmayer in a June 17 letter, saying the officer was “understandably agitated.” Wittmayer could be charged with simple misdemeanor assault, but jurors would learn of all the circumstances involved, according to Brown. “Based upon this fact and my review of the entire matter, the likelihood of a Black Hawk County jury convicting Officer Wittmayer is minimal if not completely non-existent,” Brown wrote.

Keller was charged with four felonies, including attempting to assault a police officer, eluding police and possessing 42.5 grams of marijuana with intent to deliver. He did not have a prior criminal record. Frerichs handed the AP the video after the sheriff’s office rejected an open records request for the footage, citing the charges. “I certainly agree that it should ultimately be made available due to transparency and public interest,” Chief Trelka said. “However, this is currently a pending case.” Waterloo has the highest percentage of black residents of any city in Iowa but a mostly white police department. The city has approved settlements with black residents worth nearly $3 million this year.

People will try to discredit Harry Belafonte saying things like, “he’s got a white wife,” but these types of things always come up with celebrity people black folks who choose to speak out against oppression.

Roland Martin sat down with legendary actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte on Wednesday for an exclusive interview. During their discussion, Martin and Belafonte covered a variety of topics including Colin Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the national anthem.

Kaepernick Is Still Woke

All eyes were on Colin Kaepernick again as he was set to start the final preseason game for the 49ers against the Chargers on a night to salute the military of all nights. Kaep did what was expected: he sat out the National Anthem again. Not only that, he rocked an afro the whole time and led his team to a scoring drive right of the bat. That’s what we call Black excellence.

The whole night led to a #KapSoBlack hashtag that was celebratory and awesome. Maybe Rodney Harrison could learn a thing or two…

911 Is A Joke: Family Of Innocent Black Man Assaulted By Police Awarded $18 In Civil Rights Settlement

You can’t be serious…

DeShawn Franklin And Family Awarded Just $18 In Civil Rights Settlement

The case of a innocent black man brutally beaten by police in a case of mistaken identity is making national headlines.

Four years ago 18-year-old DeShawn Franklin of Indiana was awoken out of his sleep by police beating and tasering him. Why? Because they mistook him for another black man with dreadlocks.

Now in 2016 his family is reeling after being just awarded $18 in a civil rights violation settlement for his unlawful arrest.

The IndyStar reports:

DeShawn Franklin, a slim, soft-spoken young man, hops on a city bus most days to travel 4 miles to the University of Notre Dame campus, where he works setting up equipment and moving furniture.
[…]

It’s the night four years ago when three police officers entered his family’s home without a warrant. They rousted him from the bed where he slept. They punched him six times: three times in the face and three times to the body. They used a Taser on him. Then they loaded him into a squad car in view of the neighbors.

All because of a case of mistaken identity. All because he wore dreadlocks.

Even South Bend’s mayor and police department acknowledge that the officers that July night in 2012 used excessive force and violated the civil rights of Franklin and his parents by entering the house without permission.

A federal jury in Fort Wayne agreed this month, determining that the officers were liable for unlawful entry and unlawful seizure.

But then another maddening thing happened: The jury decided that those violations of the Fourth Amendment were worth only $1. Yes, $1.

Each police officer who ignored the U.S. Constitution was ordered to pay a dollar to DeShawn and to each of his parents for each rights violation. The family was awarded an insulting total of $18 in damages.

It is their only compensation for a night that left a then-18-year-old high school senior bruised, embarrassed and afraid. And his parents wondering about whether a poor black family can find equity in the American justice system.

This…is…ridiculous.

Hopefully this case picks up more traction and an attorney can get this young man the real compensation he deserves.

Starz Execs Refuse To Cast Chris Brown To Appear On “Power”

Earlier this week, 50 Cent took to Instagram to defend “his boy” Chris Brown against the cop’s overzealous response to the accusations put forth by f**kgirl Baylee Curran.

As he says, 50’s relationship with Chris goes way back and to that end, he was looking forward to giving him a role on his hit show “Power”.

However, the Starz execs put the kibosh on Breezy’s appearance and he was NOT happy about it according to PageSix

Chris Brown “lost it” after he was booted from 50 Cent’s show “Power” just before he allegedly pulled a gun on a former beauty pageant contestant.

Sources tell us that Fiddy had promised his friend Brown a major role on his hit Starz show, but network execs put a stop to the plan.

A source close to Brown told us, “50 promised Chris a big role on ‘Power,’ playing a drug dealer. But 50 didn’t consult the network first, and execs were not happy when they found out about it.”

The source continued, “The network insisted that Chris’ casting was not going to happen, because of fears about his anger issues. There was a big blowup, and they had to tell Chris he was not going to get the role. The news was delivered to him early Monday. He was livid.”

Despite “the man” putting bangin’ the gavel, 50 ain’t trying to hear it…

On Thursday, 50 Cent was still insisting he’ll get Brown on the show, despite the network’s reservations. He told Page Six, “Tune into ‘Power’ next season, because you will see Chris Brown.”

We can’t think of a better show for a person with “anger issues” to play a role on.

One of the major complaints Black shoppers who want to buy from Black businesses have is that they just can’t find Black-owned businesses. But now a new Google Chrome Extension aims to help consumers find Black businesses easy. BuyBlack was created by Angie Coleman, an account manager at San Francisco-based CodeHS, and it lists Black-owned alternatives to online shoppers’ favorite retail sites. Here’s how it works: Users install the app then a Black solidarity fist appears in the corner of their browsers, which then expands into a drop down list of sites from Black-owned businesses with similar product offerings whenever they search for items online. There are products and services ranging from makeup and clothing to home goods, art, vacation rentals, food, and more. Currently, more than 300 businesses can be found on BuyBlack…

No Black Women Are In Top 10 On List Of Highest-Paid Actresses

viola-davis
Mo’Nique has complained about the Black women pay gap in Hollywood countless times and people painted her as a troublemaker. Chris Rock even came out and claimed that Black women get paid less than everybody in Hollywood. He said, “Black women have the hardest gig in show business. You hear Jennifer Lawrence complaining about getting paid less because she’s a woman — if she was Black, she’d really have something to complain about.” Now here is evidence that is hard to refute. A new list from Forbes shows that the highest paid actresses make much less than actors, but Black actresses don’t even get in the top 10. Jennifer Lawrence landed in the top spot for a second year in a row, pulling in $46 million in the year from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016…

#BlackLeadMatters: NYT Op-Ed On Lead Poisoning Brings Out The Racists

dirtywater
A columnist for the New York Times penned an opinion piece titled “Black Lead Matters” which aims at the lead industry’s carelessness in eliminating the instances of lead poisoning. The op-ed also makes mention that Black communities have largely been struck with the issue, which has sparked a robust conversation on Twitter Friday morning. Paul Krugman’s piece isn’t especially about the issues in Flint, Mich. or the truth that many inner-city dwellings still have issues with lead. Instead, it focuses on the lead poisoning policies of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, both of whom have not made the issue a central focus of the race. Krugman also makes mention of a 2013 book that stated the industry tried to push lead poisoning as a problem of poor people of color who live in squalor…

Katt Williams Says “Three-Dollar P**** B*tch” Can’t Sue Him Over Kidnapping & Beating Her…Because He Already Paid Up

Katt Williams’ Assault And Kidnapping Suit Thrown Out

Turns out the comedienne that Katt Williams allegedly slapped up and insulted on tour is being a little greedy. Katt’s lawyers had to tap her on the shoulder and remind her that she’s already been paid for her troubles and is going to need to drop her new case — or else. Via TMZ:

Katt Williams is the victim of a serious double-dipper — that’s his reaction to a comedian suing him over an alleged beatdown, because he says he’s already forked over a settlement.

TMZ broke the story … Ashima Franklin filed a lawsuit, saying Katt attacked and kidnapped her, but sources close to Katt say her suit is just a repeat of claims she made months ago.

We’re told Ashima accepted a “small amount” of cash to squash the drama, and even signed a settlement agreement. Apparently, her lawyer didn’t get that memo … and went ahead and filed a $3 million lawsuit for her.

Obviously, Katt’s attorneys sent Ashima’s lawyer the previous agreement, so she’s dismissed the suit.

WELP. If she took the small amount she can’t go seeking more after finding out Katt has some batsh*t crazy tendencies. But in the meantime…he may want to look into maybe NOT beating up, imprisoning, or kidnapping people he comes across anymore…

Angela Simmons celebrated the anticipated arrival of her baby boy in the sweetest way possible.

The 28-year-old Growing Up Hip Hop star and daughter of rapper Rev Run gathered with all of her nearest and dearest today at Sugar Factory in New York City for one gorgeous baby shower.

Angela walked in extremely happy and so excited to see her friends and close family that were there to celebrate. The tables were decorated with various shades of blue and silver ribbons, and included some small centerpieces on the tables, which were accented with hydrangeas from Diva Blooms.

The simple yet classy affair included friends and family members, who were all up and mingling with one another. When they weren’t catching up with the pregnant star, taking selfies, or making use of the Tap Snap and DJ Zapp photo booth, the attendees enjoyed a feast of food.

Guests were served fried shrimp, fries, wings, vegetable and dip, chicken fingers, as well as macaroni and cheese balls. Yes, we’re suddenly hungry, too. They also indulged in Sugar Factory’s signature cocktails, and, of course, their desserts. They had a plate of different treats, including chic cakes, candies and pastries, as well as the main cake, which was made by Sweet Grace Cake Designs.

Cute! Congrats to Angela and her mystery boo. We can’t wait to see what her little one looks like…

Drake Wants A Serious Commitment With Rihanna

Drizzy and RihRih have been going strong and steady ever since Aubrey professed his persistent love for the Bajan songstress at the 2016 Video Music Awards. But according to sources close to the duo, Drake isn’t just talk when it comes to Rih — he really wants to lock her down and make things official with her. To the point of…ring shopping? Via E!online:

A source tells E! News that the inseparable duo, who was most recently seen at a club in Miami after one of his concerts earlier this week, “want to make this work this time with each other.”

“Drake is very committed to Rihanna,” our insider dished to us. “They are both mature and ready to commit now. Drake loves Rihanna so much and if it was up to him, he would marry her tomorrow.”

It looks like this is a classic case of that old adage: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Our source added, “Things are different this time between them for the better.”

And after a whirlwind week for what fans are now dubbing Aubrih—which included a special MTV VMA’s shout-out, nights partying side-by-side and even a very special tattoo—there’s no denying that things are as serious as they’ve ever been for the musicians.

Welp…RihRih seems to bore just as easily as Drake seems to simp. These two are extremely cute together though and it actually looks like they really like one another…but time will tell if Drake becomes more than just another n***a on the hit list…

Chris Brown’s Lawyer Denies That Guns And Drugs Were Found

Not as if many people are buying the story that Becky beauty queen Baylee Curran is selling out here…but Chris’ lawyer wants to make sure you know that all the stuff about Chris packing heat and illegal party favors in his house is total B.S., and if he’s able to prove that Baylee is full of it, he’s going to push to have her tossed in the clink. Via TMZ:

Chris Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says a woman’s claim Chris pointed a gun at her is nothing more than a false accusation made in hopes of becoming famous.

Geragos addressed the media Friday — and made it clear — he says no guns or drugs were found by cops in the singer’s home. He also stated reports Brown’s 2-year-old daughter, Royalty, was home during the alleged incident are total BS.

It’s interesting … Mark said his office is still investigating the validity of text messages Baylee Curran allegedly sent which show she was trying to set Chris up. Geragos said if it’s found Curran did lie, he’ll call for a criminal investigation against her.

WELP…if she’s lying as hard as it seems she is, she DEFINITELY deserves some time in the slammer.

But it turns out that Serena is completely unbothered by her ex’s very public wooing of Rihanna.

Spring Valley Officer Caught On Camera Dragging Peaceful Student Across A Classroom Will Not Face Charges

Remember this incident?

Spring Valley School Officer Cleared Of Charges

Last year a South Carolina school officer’s actions sparked a national debate after a video of him brutalizing a student over a verbal dispute went viral. Many believe ex-cop Ben Fields took it too far by dragging the peaceful young lady across a class room. His actions caused the unidentified student several injuries, including neck injuries and broken bones. Ben Field’s was fired after the incident.

According to the Daily News, termination is the height of his punishment. Field’s supervisor Sheriff Leon Lott said Field’s actions were so despicable, he wanted “to throw up”. This however, had no effect to bring charges.  Richland County Solicitor Dan Johnson said in a 12-page court report Friday that he found no probable cause to charge the school resource officer because the incident “looked worse on camera”.

Johnson’s report includes statements from a slew of witnesses — one of whom said “the incident looked worse in the video than it did in the classroom.”

The report also included a formal account from Fields himself and he appears to have no regrets about his outrageous actions.

“I realized that I was going to have to physically remove the student from her seat to effectuate her arrest,” he said, adding that the desk only flipped over because the student locked her legs inside it.

This is a horrible injustice. What kind of message does this send to students who want to speak up against police brutality?

BOSSIP Exclusive: Judge Clears Scott Storch’s Massive Bankruptcy Debts

Scott storch

Music Producer Owed $4.3 Million In Debts

Scott Storch can breathe a little easier about his financial situation after a federal court judge discharged the majority of his more than $4 million debt in his bankruptcy, which means most of his money problems have been wiped clean.

Last year, Storch – who was once worth an estimated $70 million for his work in producing music for Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and many more – filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and claimed he had less than $4,000 in assets to his name.

His assets include $100 cash, $500 in clothing, a watch worth $3,000, several music companies valued at $0 and no other property.

But his liabilities came out to $4,393,679, including $105,000 owed on an automobile, $46,000 in legal bills, thousands unpaid to collection agencies, a $1.5 million judgment plus another $2.1 million judgment from lawsuits, $68,000 to Mandatory Entertainment, $294 to a collection attorney for Direct TV, $22,000 the state of Florida for unpaid taxes and various other creditors.

Storch listed his occupation as musician/producer and claimed to bring in $4,000 a month. But he said he spent $1,200 on food and household supplies, $400 on childcare and education costs, $100 on clothing and dry cleaning, $200 on personal care products, $250 on medical bills, $400 on transportation and $800 on entertainment – leaving him with $650 after he pays all his expenses.

scott storch bankruptcy dismissed

The music producer hit financial troubles back in 2009 and filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy claiming he had assets in the $0-50,000 range but liabilities in the $50,000-$100,000 range. The case was dismissed because Storch didn’t fill out the required documents in the bankruptcy.

Back in the early 2000’s the music producer was worth an estimated $70 million dollars, but he said he went broke because of a raging cocaine habit and living the high life. He also lost his mega-mansion to foreclosure and was slapped with numerous lawsuits over unpaid bills.

Then on August 30th, Storch finally got some good news about his finances with the federal court judge discharging his massive debts.

The order will wipe clean the majority of his $4.3 million debt, with exceptions being most back taxes, child support obligations and other debts related to criminal restitution or fines.

Storch has been given a fresh start to rebuild his finances but the case will continue on with the trustee figuring out how to pay back his many creditors.

SMH: Rachel Dolezal Set To Appear At A Natural Hair Rally

Of course none of us could forget the greatest cultural appropriator in history, Rachel Dolezal. The white woman who caused a national debate about race after posed as an black woman for over a decade. She’s kept a low profile since the media circus she caused last year but it looks like she is back for round two.

According to The Daily Beast, Rachel will be headlining a natural hair rally for braiding this weekend. Here’s the plot twist though, Dolezal says she was invited via Facebook by celebrity stylist, natural hair activist Isis Brantley.

For those of you who didn’t know, Dolezal has been making a living braiding hair since losing her job as professor and resigning from the NAACP. Fans and supporters were of course, outraged by the mere thought of Rachel being apart of such an event, despite Brantley insisting that she was not a keynote speaker at the event but rather there for greeting and solidarity. Ex-supporters believe that Brantley’s tactic is merely to get more people and media for her event and is truly a “slap right in the face.”

Would you guys agree? Don’t forget to drop your thoughts in the comments.
