Burning Man Fiasco Becomes The Main Character On Social Media

by

Burning Man has ended chaotically. The counterculture festival that has become a refuge for the rich and elite has been beset by a litany of issues during the 2023 running. Heavy rainfall has turned the festival ground in the Nevada desert into a sea of mud and grime. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that the festival is about to become a breeding ground for an ebola outbreak. If that wasn’t enough, police are reportedly investigating a death at the festival.

This chaos has resulted in the Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Black Rock Desert, essentially locking down the festival. Attendees have been instructed to shelter in place until the roads can be reopened. Meanwhile, the vehicle gates have been shuttered and the the festival-ending effigy burn canceled. However, several high-profile guests have hiked the five miles to the closest town, Gerlach. Earlier in the week, climate activists held up entrance to the festival for hours after blocking the main road into the festival site. They were eventually removed by the county sheriff and tribal rangers. The images later went viral after it was shown that several law enforcement officers drew weapons on the protestors.

Social Media Has No Sympathy For Burning Man

Over the years, Burning Man has developed a unique reputation. What was once a true counterculture festival is now seen as an event only for the ultra-rich. Furthermore, its attendees have developed their own reputation for being absolutely unbearable. As a result of this, those who are stranded in the Nevada desert will find little sympathy online.

“I cannot unsee this image of Neal Katyal, the Supreme Court attorney who among other things successfully defended a company’s use of overseas child slave labor, at Burning Man,” one user wrote in response to an image of Katyal dressed like a child predator in a 90s PSA. “Being trapped at Burning Man seems almost as bad as being trapped in a conversation with someone who went to Burning Man,” added stand-up comedian Sam Morril. The disaster that is Burning Man 2023 continues to be a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

YNW Melly Juror Calls Murder Case “A Really Bad Situation Of Being Framed”

by

YNW Melly is currently behind bars awaiting his second murder trial. The 24-year-old is accused of killing two YNW associates, SakChaser and Juvy, back in 2018. His defense claims that the young men were killed as a result of a drive-by shooting, however, prosecutors believe he shot them from within the vehicle. If he’s convicted, he could be facing the death penalty. In July, jurors were unable to come to a unanimous decision as to whether or not he’s guilty, leading the judge to rule a mistrial.

Now, one of the jurors from the first trial has come forward, making some serious claims about the case. The anonymous juror has alleged that Melly was framed for double murder. “I believe that he didn’t do it and it wasn’t proved in court,” they explained. “This was a really bad situation of being framed.” The former juror further claims that “Melly was a very good person,” adding that he “always tried to help out people around him.”

Juror Says “Melly Was A Very Good Person”

At the beginning of last month, a former juror also said that jury manipulation is what led to the mistrial. They accused one woman on the jury of being “explosive and “manipulative,” further claiming that she’d go off on other jurors who didn’t share her same opinion. According to the juror, she was set on acquitting Melly. In August, the lead detective on Melly’s case, Detective M. Moretti, also had a motion filed against him for allegedly using “excessive force” on a witness.

Melly’s retrial is scheduled to begin in October. The rapper now only needs an 8-4 vote in order to give him the death penalty under Florida state law. In October, YNW Bortlen will also begin his own trial. He drove the victims to the hospital the evening of the shooting, and was also the only living person believed to have been with Melly at the time. According to Bryson “Boom” Paul, Melly will appear in court on September 15 to discuss his request for bond. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on YNW Melly.

Chrisean Rock’s Water Broke Days Ago She Says During Delivery Room Live Stream

by

There’s not much of her life that 23-year-old Chrisean Rock doesn’t share with the world. Still, we certainly weren’t expecting to see her going Live on Instagram upon arriving at the hospital earlier today. During a separate stream, the Baddies cast member shared that she’s been experiencing contractions all morning. They’ve only gotten more intense as the day goes on. The unique position Rock placed herself in on the ride to the hospital had many women speculating that her baby boy will soon be arriving. However, it’s unclear if Blueface will be joining her at the hospital.

Once she got checked in and settled in her delivery room, Rock resumed streaming her exciting day with fans. Thankfully the doctors on her team appear to have a great sense of humour. They were even joking with the black-haired beauty about some of the less glamorous aspects of their job. “You know how cardiologists do hearts? Well, we do vaginas!” one of the women declared from off-camera after Chrisean complained about the awkwardness of being so exposed.

Elsewhere in the hospital room, Rock revealed that her water actually broke two days ago, but she wasn’t aware what was happening. “It was like a slow leak,” the reality starlet recalled. “I just thought my pu**y was wet.” On the bright side, she’s now in the hands of other women working hard to make her first experience of giving birth go as smoothly as possible.

While doing some checks earlier this afternoon, the midwife assessed that the Cr*zy In Love star is four cm dilated. Once she reaches 10 she’ll be able to safely start pushing her baby boy out, making Blueface a father of three.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Claims Alleged Rape Victim Is Trying To Humiliate Him

by

Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty is accused of sexually assaulting Jennifer Hough back in 1994. He previously took a plea deal in the case, but she alleges that he’s been violating it. Hough accuses Petty of attempting to intimidate and harass her, claiming that it’s had a negative impact on her life. Recently, she moved to amend her complaint, adding new evidence to strengthen her case.

The evidence includes various images from around the time of the alleged incident. The photos showcase wounds on Hough’s neck, as well as the knife allegedly used. Petty’s team claims that the evidence was put forth in an attempt to humiliate him to appease Hough’s lawyer. They also say that Hough and her team filing the exhibit publicly and making statements about the photos prove this. They claim that the motion was made in bad faith. Hough’s lawyer Tyrone Blackburn, however, has other ideas.

He claims that Hough has been accused of lying, now gaining the opportunity to prove her case with new evidence. “Now, [Hough] has secured confirming evidence… she is somehow ‘acting in bad faith,’” he explains. “If anything, [Hough] is acting in good faith, as she is solidifying a position that she has had concerning the rape in 1994, which is that she did not ‘lie on that man [Defendant Petty].”

“Petty did not come forward to clear the record when his wife went on her Queen Radio program and accused [Hough] of lying,” Blackburn also adds. “Accused [Hough] of being a white woman, saying ‘white equals right,’ and disgustingly insinuating that Plaintiff is comparable to Carolyn Bryant, the white woman who wrongfully accused Emmett Till.” Hough has also filed a $20 million lawsuit against Petty for allegedly harassing her over the years to recant her allegations. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty.

Kodak Black Joins FAU Field Entrance Ahead Of Football Opener

by

The FAU Owls had a special guest at their tunnel exit ahead of their football opener on September 2 – Kodak Black. The 26-year-old ran out with the team, waving to the crowd with gusto ahead of the Owls’ season opener against FCS school Monmouth. Black was born and raised in Pompano Beach, which lies about eight miles south of FAU’s stadium in Boca Raton.

The Owls are looking to improve on a 5-7 season in 2022, a record that led to the firing of head coach Willie Taggart. Taggart is now the running backs coach for the Baltimore Ravens. FAU is hoping that former Houston and Texas head coach Tom Herman can put the team above .500 for the first time since the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Black Inspires FAU To Win In Season Opener

Black remained on the sideline to watch FAU score a strong victory over the CAA side. FAU took the game 42-20 thanks to a handful of big performances. QB Casey Thompson threw for 280 yards and five touchdowns. Meanwhile, RB Larry McCammon added 125 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Elsewhere, WR Tony Johnson was Thompson’s primary target through the air, putting up 91 yards and two touchdowns. That included a magnificent 72-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Monmouth QB Marquez McCray threw for 249 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. The Hawks travel to Towson for their next game.

FAU will look to continue their momentum against Ohio next week. The Bobcats are 1-1 after a loss to San Jose State and a win against Long Island. However, the rest of September will prove fairly challenging for the Owls. After Ohio, they travel to Death Valley to face #9 Clemson. After that, they have another road game against Illinois. Given their place in the AAC, FAU may have to face another ranked team in Tulane later in the season. But for now, the Owls and Kodak Black can enjoy a very strong start to their season.
