Tennis legend Venus Williams has scored a major win in the legal battle against the family of Jerome Barson.

The elderly man lost his life on June 9th after a collision of cars set off a ripple effect, something his relatives are blaming on Williams in their civil lawsuit.

However, police are now saying the 37-year-old drove lawfully. ESPN reports:

Williams legally entered an intersection but was cut off by another car, setting off a chain of events that seconds later resulted in a fatal crash with a third car, police say a video released Friday shows.

The video, taken by a security camera, shows Williams heading north as she stops her 2010 Toyota Sequoia SUV at a stoplight behind a white car as she exits her Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood shortly after 1 p.m. on June 9.

When the light turns green, the white car turns left onto a six-lane, heavily traveled boulevard, but Williams heads straight. A dark-colored sedan traveling south turns left in front of her, causing her to stop.

Palm Beach Gardens police said in a statement Friday that Barson’s light had turned green just before Williams moved in front of her. Barson’s 78-year-old husband, Jerome Barson, died June 22 from injuries suffered in the crash.

Williams, who was not hurt, has not been cited or charged. Police spokesman Maj. Paul Rogers said Friday the video has caused investigators to re-evaluate their original conclusion that Williams was at fault.

Though the investigation is on-going, it’s a significant development in favor of Williams, who broke down in tears over the situation at a Wimbledon press conference this week.

Breaking her silence on the matter just days before, Williams said:

These days beef is cooked and served on social media.

Such was the case for the sudden feud between former ‘Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta’ cast-mates K. Michelle and Joseline Hernandez.

Despite being pally on the hit VH1 show, the pair have fallen out – over producer Mona Scott-Young.

This week on IG, K shared a lengthy message of appreciation for the TV maestra – who was with her at the time – for helping turn her life around.

The camaraderie spilled over to IG Live, where K and reality star Shekinah playfully confirmed that Mona does indeed pay up. A jab Joseline interpreted as being about her issue with the exec over money.

A jarred Joseline responded with the following…

Never one to hold back, K hit back with:

The self professed “Baddest Puta” clapped back moments, referring to K’s family dynamic:

Juicy as that was, we have no idea why the ladies are duelling on social media.

They’d be better off doing it on TV. Like, if you’re gonna beef – at least beef for coin. Then again, isn’t that Joseline’s whole gripe to begin with?

Sigh.

Rob Kardashian, already facing the threat of jail time for violating California’s ‘revenge porn’ law after leaking nudes of his ex Blac Chyna, has now been dealt another legal blow after reports surfaced the model/actress is seeking a restraining order against him.

As has been captivating headlines for most of the week, Rob went on a social media tirade once he learned Chyna was cheating him.  Berating her and even sharing explicit photos of her on the web, the youngest of the Kardashian clan’s lengthy slam of his baby mama was so harsh his Instagram handle was removed (click here to read more on that).

In response to the hoopla, Chyna’s opted to keep her silence and let her lawyers do the talking on her behalf.  Pressing the courts to deliver a restraining order against Kardashian, Chyna alleges he has verbally and physically abused her in the past.

According to reports:

“Her declaration was part of a domestic violence restraining order petition filed by her new high-powered lawyer Lisa Bloom ahead of a court hearing Monday.

In the paperwork…, Chyna said Rob turned physically abusive on April 17 when she asked him to stop trash-talking her in front of her 4-year-old son, King Stevenson.

‘Rob has been violent with me in the past and I am afraid to be around him,” Chyna said in her statement.'”

Chyna goes on to declare she never gave Rob permission to share those nude photos of her.

“Rob publicly shamed me by posting a picture of me during labor of our daughter Dream… “This is a HIPAA violation and a violation of my privacy rights under the California Constitution.”

As those familiar with California’s ‘revenge porn’ law know, the legal penalties of the infraction could not only lead to years in jail for the TV star, but also cause him to lose full custody of his daughter.

If Bill Cosby breathed a sigh of relief after his sexual assault trial climaxed in a mistrial last month, then it may have been a touch premature.

Because, as widely expected, the prosecution against the fallen icon have secured a confirmed retrial date.

Issued today, an order by Judge Steven O’Neill read:

“A retrial in the above-captioned matter is hereby scheduled for Monday, November 6, 2017   at   9:00 a.m. in Courtroom A of the Montgomery County Courthouse, Norristown, Pennsylvania.” [Source]

If Montgomery County D.A’s office press the same charges as in the first case, the 79-year old ‘Cosby Show’ actor will face three felony charges of second-degree aggravated indecent assault. Should he be convicted on all charges, he’d be imprisoned for 10 years.

This particular case pertains to the alleged assault of Andrea Constand in 2004; however over 50 women in total have come forward to accuse Cosby of similar wrongs. Constand’s case is the only one to proceed to trial due to fact the statute of limitations haven’t run out.

Cosby’s reps offered a “no comment at this present time” response to the news of the new date.

The unfortunate demise of Jesse Williams‘ marriage has taken another turn for the dramatic now that he has asked a judge to grant him formal custody of his children.

Why?

He claims his soon-to-be ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee only allows him to see the kids for three hours each day and has rejected his request to have them stay at the property he rented three miles away from her home for sleepovers.

The couple were divorced for four and a half years before Williams filed for divorce in April and, after separating amicably, now find themselves of opposite ends of a legal war Williams hopes to win.

Aryn had this to say about Williams’ request for joint-custody and the press it had garnered via her legal reps weeks ago:

Protecting the privacy and well-being of their children is of paramount importance to Aryn Drake-Lee Williams,’ Hersh told Us Weekly.

It is unfortunate that Mr. Williams has chosen to draw public attention to this difficult time and transition for their family. Aryn is solely interested in the best interests of their children, supporting a healthy relationship with both parents, and protecting the children’s privacy.

Kenya Moore‘s marriage to Marc Daly has spelled trouble for her role on the hit series ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

For, after learning that she had wed away from the show’s cameras, producers have now urged the former singleton to allow them into her life as married woman.

The problem? Daly is unimpressed by the show’s presentation of its husbands and so rejected the offer prompting producers to present Kenya with an ultimatum.

TMZ reveals:

We’re told Kenya has argued the show hired her, not her husband. There’s no mention of him in her contract. What’s more, she told producers she’s waited 46 years for a loving relationship which she now has, and doesn’t want to jeopardize it. Our sources say her plea has fallen on deaf ears. We’re told producers have essentially given her an ultimatum — either get Marc on the show or she’ll be phased out.

Production on the show’s tenth cycle kicked off in the first week of June.

Rob Kardashian was on a rampage…until shortly ago when his Instagram handle was disabled.

Setting the Internet alight this morning with some damning posts against his baby mama/model Blac Chyna (as we reported here), the youngest of the Kardashian clan also made headlines for taking aim at T.I. after the rapper offered his two cents on the situation (as we also reported here).

Now, with Rob’s page down, all eyes are on Chyna.  Fans and detractors of the model/actress have taken to her Instagram handle to instigate a response to all the hoopla by lining all of her posts with “Ls.”

 

Despite the ongoing online assault against Chyna, Rob hasn’t exactly left the situation unscathed.  Some commenters are calling the model’s alleged betrayal of the youngest Kardashian “karma” for his mistreatment of former girlfriend Adrienne Bailon.

Remember that infamous slap?

 

Update: Rob exposes more nudes of Chyna on Twitter…

What fresh hell is this?

Minutes after rocking Blac Chyna‘s world by exposing her supposed scandalous and sensual proclivities, Rob Kardashian has set his sights on the rapper TI.

Why?

The ‘Live Your Life’ rapper made the mistake of weighing in on the drama by asking Rob to take his domestic drama off and away from social media. Enraged and armed with headline-making information, Kardashian clawed back.

 



Wonders never cease.

Rob Kardashian seeks to shower shame and disgrace on his former flame Blac Chyna by leaking explicit images of her.

Hahahaha Chyna just sent me this video saying happy 4th of July what a crazy person. Come spend time with your daughter instead of f***ing me and then this dude right after. U need help.

He claims Chyna sent him a positive 4th of July message before cheating on him with another man.

Never once have I cheated on Chyna and I remained loyal to her even after all the cheating she been doing and the multiple men she been f***ing including me … @ferraritru3′

Alas, there’s more.

Rob also revealed that Chyna lied about how she shed the weight she gained following the birth of their baby.

He also claims that the social media star is addicted to drugs!

Who makes up the ingredients of today’s blend?

The unstoppable force that is Rihanna and the British movie ‘The Weekend.

This year will bring with it the development of the star’s first project with Ava Duvernay and Lupita Nyong’O. Before that, she celebrates the unleashing of ‘Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets’, the movie she stars in alongside her pal Cara Delevingne which impacts U.S. on July 21st.

Some good news before it drops? Try this.

Fenty’s decision to sign up to appear in the release helped its producers bag a budget of $222,935,050 (197 million Euros) and is expected to help it draw in $20 million in the North America in its opening weekend.

Her union with the space opera leads the way for her next studio album which is to be built by writing camps in the U.K. and U.S. this summer.

New to Netflix this summer is ‘The Weekend‘, the British comedy delivered by Sheridan De Myers and the comedian Kojo.

Having acted together in E4’s Youngers / BBC3’s Comedy Feed “The JPD Show” and appeared individually in Big School, Doctor Who, Eastenders and a number of original film projects, they saw The Weekend as the perfect script to take their collective talents to the silver screen. The original story was conceived by Kojo, a stand-up comedian with a rapidly growing reputation, while the cast also features famous prankster Ashley Inkz, comedian Arnold Jorge, and TV personality Shanie Ryan.

As the breakout star of ‘Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta‘, Joseline Hernandez rose in television’s ranks as a formidable force on and off-camera.

Today, after announcing that she had quit the series, she has taken to Instagram Live to issue a warning to the show’s mastermind Mona Scott-Young.

Give me my money

Disappointed in Scott’s supposed efforts to offer viewers an unhealthy and exaggerated look into the lives of people of colour, Hernandez claims she is owed over $150,000 and is ready to seek justice in court.

That isn’t all.

For, she also revealed that her portrayal on the series was edited to present her as a wild and maniacal villain…a far cry from the astute business woman who pushed the series to household name status.

Watch below…

Press play to peep what prompted Joseline’s message…
