Jada Pinkett Smith Fends Off Home Invasion By Herself: Report

Jada Pinkett Smith, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to TMZ, just faced a pretty potentially harrowing experience in her L.A. home. Moreover, she reportedly scared off two men in hoodies who climbed up to her balcony to attempt to break into her home. When they saw that the actress was home a little before 8PM, her presence and her acknowledgement of the men made them run away. Then, police arrived at the scene, and the culprits had already sped off and could not be found while officials responded to the incident. It’s unclear whether this was a targeted attack against Will Smith’s partner or just a couple of guys trying to hit some nice homes in Los Angeles.

Furthermore, deputies apparently opened an attempted burglary report, and launched an investigation into Jada Pinkett Smith’s case. However, one aspect of this brush with danger that folks asked questions about is whether Will Smith was there. Cops don’t believe he was (although they can’t confirm for sure), and social media users took this as a chance to re-open the conversation around their relationship dynamic. You might recall how much of a hot topic this was towards the end of 2023, and how much we learned about confirmed or alleged developments in their romantic life.

Of course, this also involved people calling Jada Pinkett Smith out for her revelations about Tupac Shakur. That was among the spiciest and most gossip-fueling aspects of her Will Smith reveals last year, and one that isn’t fully resolved yet. Regardless of all this, we can imagine that this was a very scary situation, and that the Baltimore native would much rather deal with Internet drama than with burglars. Hopefully this doesn’t keep existing as a trend, as folks like Keanu Reeves and Lena Waithe faced similar incidents recently.

Meanwhile, the Smiths’ marriage seems stronger than it was in recent years, and that’s all that folks needed to hear. Maybe this is another situation that influences how they move, how they spend time together, or what their dynamic will look like. Only time will tell at the end of the day.

Prince Of “Love & Hip Hop” Arrested In Miami For Burglary With Assault Or Battery

Christopher Michael Harty, better known as Prince or Prince Michael of “Love & Hip Hop: Miami,” just got himself into some more hot water. Moreover, reports recently surfaced of his arrest in Miami recently, allegedly for burglary with battery or assault, and no further details have emerged about it. While we don’t know the circumstances behind it, many people in the comments of coverage of this development remarked that he’s been in jail a lot as of late. Hopefully things pick up for him in the future, but it’s nonetheless worrisome alleged behavior. Surely within the next few days, authorities and the Florida native himself might reveal more information about the case.

Furthermore, this further concerned fans thanks to previous legal trouble that the reality TV star got himself into. For example, back in August of 2021, authorities arrested Prince for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting his girlfriend at the time, which also involved battery charges. With this history in mind, many lament that someone with an already successful career made carried out these alleged actions. If it’s not true, then something fishy’s going on with these multiple claims.

“Love & Hip Hop” Star Prince Arrested In Miami

However, there are other legal battles of the 33-year-old’s that turned out a bit better for him. The most notable one concerned his consistent attempts to score a boxing match with Tory Lanez after multiple claims of physical assault against him. In December of last year, Prince and Lanez reportedly settled their lawsuit concerning these assaults, and the boxing match never manifested itself. Apparently they were able to reach a financial agreement, and ironically the two faced larger legal trouble later on.

Meanwhile, considering his high profile, this likely won’t be the last we hear of this arrest. We’ll see whether that’s mostly due to gossip or based on more legitimate and serious charges, and either is just as likely. Also, it would be interesting to see how much this bleeds into “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” if at all, as there’s never enough drama for viewers to gorge on. With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Prince.

Frenchie Sentenced To 12 Years In Prison For Botched Burglary

Strong Island MC Frenchie was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Thursday (April 6) after jury conviction on charges stemming from a botched burglary. Moreover, the specific charges include two violent felonies: three counts of first-degree burglary and one count of second-degree burglary. Not only that, but the 37-year-old, real name Gregg Hogan, will also serve five years of post-supervision after jail time according to Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierny. Furthermore, many might recognize his name for introducing Nicki Minaj to her former manager Debra Antney. As such, he has a unique connection to one of rap’s biggest stars.

However, Frenchie went through hard times, having survived multiple gunshot wounds including one to his neck. Unfortunately, it seems like that hard life didn’t elude him. According to Patch, Frenchie engaged in robbery with three other men. These are Miguel Ruiz, Hakim Muhammad, and Donte Thomas. From what reports indicate, they kicked in a house door to rob it. What’s more is that they carried guns, thinking it would be a money and weed stash property. Turns out there was a whole family inside.

Frenchie Facing Time For Failed Robbery

Moreover, the recording artist encountered a mother, father, and autistic teenage son, whom were all asleep at the time of the invasion. D.A. Tierny claimed that Frenchie and his cohorts told the victims to lie face down as they searched the home. When the teenage son did not respond, one of the men allegedly struck him with his pistol. As a result, he bore facial cuts and bruises when police arrived at the scene. “The pistol-whipping of an innocent autistic young man in a failed home invasion is among the most outrageous crimes we have prosecuted,” the D.A. stated. “Hopefully, this defendant’s conviction and significant prison sentence provides the victims with some sense of relief and security.”

Meanwhile, Frenchie’s defense team maintained that he did not participate in the robbery or serve as the getaway driver, as the prosecution claims. “He was sitting in the car,” his attorney Anthony Scheller expressed after the sentencing. “I argued to [Supreme Court Justice Timothy P. Mazzei] that he didn’t tie anyone up, he didn’t have a gun, [and] he didn’t pistol whip anybody.” Also, Scheller hinted that the 37-year-old will likely seek appeal. For more updates on this story and Frenchie, check back in with HNHH.

Drake’s Home Burglarized In Los Angeles, Man Arrested After Stealing Unknown Item: Report

One of the undeniable perks that come with celebrity status is having the money to purchase luxurious homes. However, that same status and worldwide fame are exactly what makes public figures the unfortunate targets of many robberies and break-ins. The latest star to fall victim to the criminal antics is none other than Drake.

On Friday (January 27), TMZ broke the story. The night before, Champagne Papi’s Los Angeles residence was broken into. At the time, a man snuck into the rapper’s home, consequently alerting his security who promptly called the police.

Officers responded last night. They say that Drake’s team reportedly saw an unknown man leaving the property while carrying an unknown object. By the time authorities arrived, the suspect disappeared and a neighbourhood search began.

Sources tell the outlet that hours later, a man matching the suspect’s description walked down a nearby street. Cops took the anonymous perpetrator into custody. He was apparently still carrying the mysterious object previously taken from the mansion.

Thankfully, Drake wasn’t home at the time of the burglary, but he’s certainly no stranger to similar past experiences. As TMZ notes, a 23-year-old man was arrested at the same home as recently as July for misdemeanour trespassing. This surprise visitor was claiming that the father of one is also his dad.

News of the break-in is certainly upsetting for Drake. Thankfully, he’s got great friends in his corner to help turn that around, such as Jim Jones. Earlier this week, The Diplomats artist declared his Canadian friend the hip-hop group’s “fifth official member” following their legendary takeover at the Apollo Theatre.

A.J. Green’s Home Burglarized: Report

NFL wide receiver A.J. Green’s home in Roswell, Georgia was burglarized on Friday night, according to TMZ Sports. Police are currently tracking down the alleged thief.

Green’s house was empty at the time of the break-in, but it’s unclear how the thief gained entry to the home.

While the thief could get inside, they tripped a house alarm notifying the local police department. They responded around 8 PM.

Investigators will reportedly review surveillance cameras on the property to identify the suspect. Police are still taking an inventory of what the thief stole from the property.

Green has yet to comment on the reported break-in.

The NFL’s star’s property comes in at 2.7 acres while the house is 5,100 square feet. It has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. The house is about 90 minutes from the University of Georgia, where Green played football from 2008 to 2010.

The burglary comes as Green finishes up his 12th season in the NFL. While he’s on track to become a free agent in the offseason, he recently admitted that retirement is an option.

“It’s a decision I have to make with my family, but whatever the decision is, I’m at peace with it,” Green told reporters. “I feel I’ve been true to this game my whole career, I did everything the right way, so if it’s my time to walk away, I’ll be ready.”

In his last season with the Cardinals, A.J. Green recorded just 236 yards and two touchdowns. He played in 15 games.

Ezra Miller Serving 1 Year Probation After Pleading Guilty To Vermont Burglary

Ezra Miller found themselves in no shortage of trouble throughout 2022. As Deadline reports, during the last 12 months, the non-binary actor got in an altercation at a bar in Iceland. Afterward, they took part in disorderly conduct at a Hawaiian karaoke bar.

On the same island, the New Jersey native was given charges of second-degree assault. They allegedly threw a chair at a 26-year-old woman. Additionally, a Greenfield, MA, 12-year-old child and their mother issued a restraining order, and 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes’ parents previously filed a protection order against Miller for “grooming and brainwashing” their minor daughter.

Last May, The Perks of Being a Wallflower star broke into a Vermont residence and stole liquor. While pleading not guilty a while back, it was said that they could face 26 years in prison for the offence.

However, Miller’s attorney has since worked out a plea deal. This allows them to serve just one year of probation as a punishment. “The court will impose the sentence here… We accepted your plea of guilty. We will impose the fine here $500, and a sentence of 80-90 days which is all suspended with probation. The term of probation will be one year,” Superior Court Judge Kerry A. McDonald-Cady said yesterday (January 13).

“As part of the plea agreement here, the state will dismiss without prejudice counts 1 and 2, of the burglary and petit larceny,” the judge later added.

Should Miller successfully complete probation, the actor’s charges will remain dismissed. “However, if there’s a violation of probation that was filed that a court found probable cause for, the state could refile the count 1 burglary,” the court told the 30-year-old.

Their attorney shared a statement after the hearing. “Ezra would like to thank the court and the community for their trust and patience throughout this process. [They] would once again like to acknowledge the love and support they have received from their family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in their ongoing mental health,” Lisa B. Shelkrot wrote.

Miller will specifically be responsible for registering with the Vermont department of corrections. They’ll also notify their probation officer of their address each month, and of any probable cause for a new criminal offence. Their consumption of alcoholic beverages will be lower, with breathalyzer tests always being a possibility.

In the summer, the entertainer issued a statement on his “intense crisis.” This led him to accept the ongoing “complex mental health issues.” They wrote, “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”

At the same time, reports began circulating that Miller was meeting with Warner Bros executives. This, in hopes of saving a project that’s been undoubtedly on the rocks amid the chaos.
