Charles Barkley Presses Adam Silver About Domestic Violence In The NBA On National TV

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley used Adam Silver’s appearance on Inside The NBA to confront the league executive about the sharp rise in domestic violence incidents involving NBA players. Silver appeared completely caught off guard by the question. Eventually, he stammered his way through an answer that essentially boiled to “We tell the players that violence is bad”. However, while Silver said that the “consequences are enormous” for the players, the opposite rings true in practice.

The league only suspended repeat offender Miles Bridges for 10 games. Furthermore, they argued that he served 20 games of the original 30-game suspension by being a free agent last season. Meanwhile, Bridges was arrested in recent weeks for violating his protective order against his original victim. Meanwhile, the NBA has said nothing other than the league being “aware of the situation” when it comes to the Kevin Porter Jr. situation. Of course, Silver is never going to say anything revolutionary when it comes to domestic violence. However, it’s far from the answer that Barkley’s question warranted.

However, the response is typical of the Adam Silver era. Ever since he took over as NBA commissioner in 2014, the league has repeatedly failed to discipline its players. This past summer, the world watched as Silver appeared more comfortable cracking jokes about Ja Morant than actually punishing the Grizzlies star for flaunting his indifference to the NBA’s disciplinary process. Morant received 25 games for flashing a gun on Instagram Live. This was despite it being the second time it had happened and despite Morant begging for forgiveness from the league after the first time.

Silver, much like his NFL counterpoint Roger Goodell, is an owner’s executive. It’s all about the bottom line. Make the league money while ensuring the league doesn’t look too bad in the media. Suspend Morant for about a quarter of the season, but not too long so that the NBA can profit from people tuning in to watch Morant play. However, with domestic violence incidents noticeably on the rise, it remains to be seen what the league is actually going to do about it.

Chandler Jones Arrested For Violating Protective Order A Second Time

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chandler Jones has once again been arrested in Las Vegas for the violation of a domestic violence protective order. Details about the arrest were not immediately made available. However, the arrest comes three weeks after Jones was detained on the same charge. In that instance, Jones was accused of going to a woman’s home, taking several personal items from her yard, and then burning them on his property.

Jones’ first arrest came after a turbulent series of posts on social media. After a livestream in which he burst into tears after saying Aaron Hernandez didn’t kill himself, Jones shared a positive interaction with Antonio Brown before leaving social media to go to a strip club. He was reportedly arrested for violating a domestic violence protective order and posted bond later on Friday. Jones had a court date in early December concerning the first arrest. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

Elsewhere, the Raiders released Jones after his first arrest. “[We are] hopeful that Chandler Jones receives the care that he needs. He, his family, and all those involved are in our thoughts,” Raiders said in a statement. Jones, a first-round pick in 2012, was in the second year of a three-year contract with the Raiders. However, he had been away from the team since Labor Day Weekend and had alleged malpractice on the part of senior team officials. In a series of tweets, Jones accused owner Mark Davis of covering for an unnamed individual who had allegedly molested Jones’ goddaughter.

Jones had 38 tackles last season, a career low in seasons where he played at least 10 games. Understandably, no team has moved to acquire him given his apparent mental health struggles and legal woes. Furthermore, Jones posted twice on social media on the day of his arrest. The first was a screenshot of his Instagram story along with the caption “hmmm”. The image was an engaged call with a treatment center. Over this, Jones had added the text “Called the psych ward I was at…to check on the people I was in there with…they just gave me the run around…I bought all that stuff yesterday to give to the staff and patients”. Additionally, Jones’ other post from October 17 simply read “shit gettin sticky”.

New Video Of Gunplay And His Wife Surface Before He Pointed A Gun At Her

August 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

More information on the scary moment between rapper Gunplay and his wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, continues to arise. A video of the El-Paso, Texas-born artist and his wife reveals that there is some more background information on this dangerous situation. Recently, at their home in Miami, the two got into while Gunplay was playing Call Of Duty on his Xbox. Vonshae explains the events leading up to his arrest, “To summarize last night event. I asked [Gunplay] to quiet down as he scared the baby sleeping by yelling playing call of duty. He started going off on me for asking him to be quiet.”

She also tried to pack a bag and head to a different part of the house with their daughter while he was in this state of mind. Vonshae also highlighted the fact that he has a bit of an issue with controlling his alcohol consumption. “Unfortunately [Gunplay] is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I’ve tried everything in my power to help him and love him. This is a demon he has to overcome on his own. At this point I really believe it’s too late.”

It might really be too late for Gunplay, as he was arrested and charged with domestic violence, false imprisonment, child abuse, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Vonshae also placed a restraining order on him and reportedly filed for divorce. Furthermore, there is more evidence that further solidifies all of this. This video on Instagram shows the rapper getting frustrated with his wife after she tells him to turn off his phone, presumably streaming his Call Of Duty gaming session. She says, “That’s going to cut off here in a minute.” Gunplay looks visibly upset and we can only assume that might have been the night the incident occurred.

What are your thoughts on this whole situation between Gunplay, his wife, and their daughter? How long do you think the rapper should be locked up for? Do you think the drinking problem is the root cause of why things eventually escalated to this point? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all the latest breaking news around the music world.

Key Glock’s Ex-Girlfriend Accuses Him Of Physical Assault

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Key Glock’s facing serious accusations after airing out his ex-girlfriend Karin Jinsui. The Memphis rapper took to Instagram earlier this week where he berated Jinsui, writing, “Sending this fake godly a*s b*tch back to da streets.” In response, Jinsui alleged that he “put his hands” on her. “All that boy has to offer is money & [d*ck] literally. I can find that [sh*t] a million other places. I’m a grown righteous woman & I require more than that… that he can’t offer,” she began.

Jinsui began to take aim at his public persona, claiming that the Glockoma 2 rapper is “hurt” in real life. “He’s the real one that ain’t [sh*t] & he knows it. He tries to ACT like he so ‘Playa’ to the public but really he’s a hurt [a*s] little boy….that desperately needs help,” she added before leaping into the allegations of abuse. “He put his hands on me Monday because he don’t know how to have grown up conversations & I STILL ain’t call the cops or inform the hotel. I just left,” she continued. “Why he decided to post about the cops & they wasn’t even called is funny as hell.”

Glock shared several messages on social media which evidently prompted Jinsui to speak out publicly. Jinsui’s decision to address Key Glock’s claims about the police were prompted by a tweet he sent out on Tuesday. “ion respect nobody who play police games [thumbs down emoji],” he wrote. In a follow up, he continued to throw shots at her, writing, “She might look good on IG but I SWEAR dat bitch AINT NONE!!”

Jinsui also said that Key Glock failed to show emotional maturity and hoped that the materialistic goods would keep her around. “I did my best with tryna understand him but he ain’t a ready to be a man & he’s not a good person. It works for his rapper image. Not his personal affairs. He’ll learn one day…but not with me! Lol,” she wrote. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding the situation.

Anthony Mackie Stands By Jonathan Majors Amid Domestic Violence Case

June 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors is currently in a lot of hot water concerning his upcoming domestic violence case, scheduled to begin on August 3. Not only is his March 25 arrest getting him in further legal trouble, but new allegations recently surfaced claiming a pattern of worrisome behavior. These date back to his time at Yale and also include some alleged on-set behavior for some of his projects. Still, many others in Hollywood are standing by the Creed III star, saying that the case still hasn’t brought a sustainable conclusion. Moreover, the latest to do so is fellow Marvel actor Anthony Mackie, who remarked on the situation to Inverse recently.

“We’re a country that was built on ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty,’” Anthony Mackie said of the allegations against Jonathan Majors. “That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s cr*zy where we are as a society. But as a country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.” However, his remarks came on Wednesday (June 28), just a day before new developments emerged in the case.

Furthermore, The New York Times reported that the New York Police Department came to a complicated conclusion. They “determined that Grace Jabbari, who accused Jonathan of assault, attacked Majors herself and believe that there is enough evidence to support her arrest.” The victim claimed that Jonathan Majors slapped her, shoved her into a taxi, and grabbed her middle finger while on the way to his home in Manhattan. In addition, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry said that she stole items from his home and denied her client’s alleged wrongdoing.

“We strongly requested the District Attorney dismiss all charges against Mr. Majors immediately and initiate proceedings against Ms. Jabbari, holding her accountable for her crimes,” she said in legal documents. “While we are hopeful that the District Attorney is reviewing these materials in good faith and will do the right thing soon, to accelerate our case, we’ve requested a trial date ASAP.” With these new layers to the case, it’s harder than ever to determine what went down. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jonathan Majors.

Jonathan Majors Files Domestic Violence Complaint Against His Assault Accuser

June 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors has filed a domestic violence complaint against the alleged victim in his ongoing assault and harassment case. His ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, previously alleged that he broke her finger, twisted her arm, and struck her in the ear, causing it to bleed. He instead argues that she attacked him during the dispute in New York that led to his March 25 arrest.

In a filing obtained by Insider, Majors claims that Jabbari was “drunk and h*sterical” and had scratched, slapped, and grabbed at his face causing him to bleed. Majors also alleged his accuser has attacked him on prior occasions that he didn’t previously report, including a “verbal dispute in London that became physical.”

Further, Majors answered “yes” in response to the following questions when asked by police: “Is suspect capable of killing you or children?”; “Is suspect violently and constantly jealous of you?”; and “Has the physical violence increased in frequency or severity over the past 6 months?”

Majors has consistently proclaimed his own innocence in the domestic dispute. He says that he wasn’t responsible for the injuries that landed his ex in the hospital after the incident. “From the beginning, we have said Jonathan Majors is innocent and provably the victim here,” Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly. “Last week, for the first time, Mr. Majors met with the NYPD to present them with evidence of what really happened on that night.”

Majors starred in Creed III as well as multiple films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as different iterations of Kang the Conqueror prior to his arrest. He’s also known for roles in The Harder They Fall and The Last Black Man in San Francisco, among others. Majors has a trial date set for August 3rd in regard to the misdemeanor assault case. Be on the lookout for further updates in the months leading up to the court date.
