Speaking at an NAACP Mother’s Day luncheon, Minaj spoke of her own experiences with domestic violence. “I saw my father hit my mother in the head with a flashlight and we just moved on like it was nothing. I came to America and realized this is abuse, this is domestic violence, I’ve been living.” The speech accompanied the announcement that Maraj was teaming up with plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Byler and the Islip chapter of the NAACP to provide free cosmetic procedures to the survivors of domestic violence.

This is being done through the Carol Maraj Foundation, which Majar founded in 2013. “We will give these victims a new start that includes helping to restore their physical confidence,” Maraj said. Dr. Byler also spoke at the event. “We’re going to be donating our services, all of my surgical fees and so forth will be free of charge for anyone who has the courage to step away from a situation where they were involved with domestic violence,” he said. Furthermore, a press statement noted that there would be no cap on the price of procedures. This means that those who utilized the service can get as much help as they needed.

Jonathan Majors’ Alleged Victim Parties After Incident: Watch

by

Could the tables be turning for Jonathan Majors? The Ant-Man: Quantumania actor has what seems to be an endless stream of horrible news following his arrest. In late March, Jonathan Majors and his now ex-girlfriend were in the back of a taxi. According to reports, he received a message from another woman. Majors allegedly slapped his girlfriend when she attempted to check the messages, and then placed his hands around her neck. Furthermore, it was reported that law enforcement was called to the area in response to the incident. Subsequently, Majors’ girlfriend was taken to a nearby hospital by authorities due to visible injuries on her face and body. Majors’ lawyers shared alleged messages from the woman that would clear the actor’s name if they’re legitimate. However, that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from dropping him left and right.

Last week, Majors was let go by his manager. The actor and Entertainment 360 supposedly “mutually agreed” to part ways, which is another way of saying that he was dropped. Majors also lost his publicist. According to Deadline, he has already shot season 2 of Loki, which means he will likely still be appearing in that. In fact, there have apparently been zero talks at Marvel about removing Jonathan Majors from his role as Kang. That is a very small silver lining for Majors, as his his career hangs in the balance regardless. However, it seems that TMZ has acquired some evidence that could sway public opinion in the actor’s favor.

Jonathan Majors Thinks A Win Is Inevitable

Last week, Jonathan Majors spoke out to say that there was video evidence that supposedly proved his innocence. This was directly after it was reported that other alleged victims had been working to help the DA form a case against him. TMZ has now obtained the video that Majors and his law team spoke of. In this new evidence, the ex-girlfriend who accused him of abuse was caught on security cameras going out to a club after the alleged attack. She appears to be physically unharmed and using the hand that Majors had reportedly caused major injury to.

In the filing referencing the video, Majors and his lawyers made several other claims about the woman. She reportedly sent him text messages accusing him of being unfaithful. She also allegedly threatened to harm herself. In addition, Majors’ lawyers claim that the driver who was present for the incident will testify that he did not see the actor harm the woman. What do you think about the new video? Is Majors the subject of a witch hunt? Let us know in the comments!

Jonathan Majors Dropped By Manager After Domestic Violence Allegations

by

Jonathan Majors is still struggling to overcome his domestic violence allegations. The recent arrest of the Avengers actor sent shockwaves through the world of pop culture. Law enforcement confirmed that his alleged victim was his girlfriend. According to reports, the couple was in a taxi when an argument broke out between them. TMZ alleges that Majors’ girlfriend saw another woman texting his phone, which led to an altercation. Furthermore, the reports suggest that Majors became physically aggressive when his girlfriend attempted to view the alleged text messages on his device.

The Creed III actor allegedly slapped his girlfriend when she attempted to check his messages, and then placed his hands around her neck. Furthermore, it was reported that law enforcement was called to the Chelsea area in Manhattan on Saturday morning, March 25, in response to this incident. Subsequently, Majors’ girlfriend was taken to a nearby hospital by authorities due to visible injuries on her face and body. Majors’ lawyers shared alleged messages from the woman that would clear the actor’s name if they’re legitimate. However, that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from dropping him left and right.

Majors’ Major Losses

The latest loss that Majors is suffering is that of his management. The actor and Entertainment 360 supposedly “mutually agreed” to part ways, which is another way of saying that he was dropped. Additionally, Majors has also lost his PR firm. According to Deadline, he has already shot season 2 of Loki. So, he will likely still be appearing in that. There have also apparently been zero talks at Marvel about removing Jonathan Majors from his role as Kang. That is a very small silver lining for Majors, as it is likely that his career hangs in the balance, regardless.

In the alleged text messages released by Majors’ lawyer, the actor’s girlfriend tells him that she told police not to charge him. “Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged,” she said in the text. “They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position.” What are your thoughts on the situation? Do you think Jonathan Majors deserves to be dropped before he is proven guilty? Let us know in the comments.

Chris Brown Accused Of Abusing Ammika Harris By Woman Who Claims She Witnessed It

by

She doesn’t say much on social media, but Ammika Harris’s name stays in the headlines. Her relationship with Chris Brown is unclear as people assume they are together because they share an adorable son, Aeko Brown. However, Breezy doesn’t speak about his private life, but he and Harris have been spotted enjoying quality time together. They were photographed last month in Paris and out and about for Valentine’s Day. Harris was infamously involved in an altercation with Tommie Lee backstage at Brown’s concert in London; still, she’s an elusive figure that keeps herself away from the fray of online conversations.

However, a woman shone a light on Brown and Harris. On Instagram, a woman emerged with damaging allegations of domestic violence. She wasn’t the victim, yet claimed Harris was allegedly struck by the singer. The Neighborhood Talk shared the woman’s posts, but they hid her name. “Man I do not care what nobody says chris brown is a woman beater,” the person wrote. “When I when I vacation with them in tulum he beat ammika’s rib cages in to the point where she had to call in a doctor to make sure nothing was broken.”

Anonymous Allegations About Ammika Harris

The woman didn’t provide a timeline or explain her relationship with the couple. The public assumed she was friends with Harris, but that wasn’t clarified. Additionally, she also shared a DM exchange said to be with Brown. In it, it looks like the hitmaker sent two photos to her and then wrote, “U must be broke looking for attention.” She told him to “gtfo out my dms” and “ain’t nobody broke my n*gga. And you know damn well you beat that b*tch up.” Brown replied with a crying laughing emoji. He added, “Whatever u say shawty.”

The woman was unmoved and said, “Please don’t come for me cus I humble n*ggas. Now go give your b*tch a perc cus she hurt.” After sharing the screenshot, she wrote over the image, “Somebody find this man karrueche so he’ll stfu.” She was, of course, referencing Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. The actress also accused the singer of domestic violence and was given a restraining order again him.

Staying Silent

Aside from this exchange, there hasn’t been development on these allegations. Brown hasn’t addressed the controversy. His past has been a hot topic throughout his career, especially after it was learned the American Music Awards canceled his performance. Some believe his violent altercation with Rihanna all those years ago continues to haunt him. According to Brown, he’ll go where he’s loved and isn’t worried about people who don’t allow him to grow. Check out more from this anonymous woman above.

Mike Tyson Questions Blueface & Chrisean About Abusive Romance

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are in the thick of a lengthy press run, and their latest stop was Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. In recent months, the explosive couple has put all of their highs and lows on full display, leaving some spectators concerned. Rock’s hot-headed nature was first revealed when she initially partnered with Blueface years ago as a cast member of his reality show. Things took a turn when business mixed with pleasure; now, they can’t get away from one another.

They may be capitalizing on their notoriety, but Blue and Chrisean’s relationship has also been heavily criticized. Videos of their arguments float throughout social media, including the pair punching one another in the street. They’ve laughed through answers when questioned in interviews about the violence. It was even included in their Zeus network reality series, Crazy in Love.

Tyson Asks If Fighting Is How They Show Love

The couple’s demeanor was only slightly different when in the presence of Mike Tyson. “What sets you guys off to fight? That’s the controversy. What sets you guys off to fight? And why are you guys willing to fight anybody?” asked the sports icon. “Is it love that makes you feel this?” Chrisean acted as if she didn’t fully understand the question. “Each other? Or anybody?” she said.

“Me? I don’t know. I’m more of like a—I don’t know,” answered Blueface. “I don’t fight unless I have to. For real.” Rock said otherwise. According to her, Blueface “plays nice and then he switch.” Tyson also questioned if Blueface “[likes] when she beats on you.”

Blueface Thinks It’s Weird That Fighting Is Normalized In Their Romance

Blueface said, “Nah, it’s kinda weird, honestly. It’s a weird situation to be in. You wanna fight but it’s like…I don’t know. It’s never worth it.” Rock added, “If it was a sport, it’d be cool.” Tyson empathized with the couple, stating that he and his wife stopped fighting after they quit drinking alcohol. Tyson’s past is riddled with allegations of abuse, most notably from his marriage to Robin Givens in the 1990s. Check out more from Blueface and Chrisean’s conversation with Mike Tyson above.

Kash Doll Calls Tory Lanez Arrogant

by

In a new interview on VladTV, Kash Doll stated that Tory Lanez is arrogant and should be held accountable if he has a history of violence against women. Moreover, Kash’s comments come months after the court found him guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion back in 2020. While the discourse surrounding the case still lights up reply sections on Twitter, she’s hinting at something else. Furthermore, she shared that Lanez should face scrutiny if his attack on Megan is part of a larger pattern.

The conversation started with Vlad acknowledging that Lanez has a history of “pulling guns out on people,” citing a specific instance with rapper Dax. “It’s just sad,” the Detroit rapper began. “It’s just sad. I’m just glad that Megan is probably in a better space. Because I feel like she was really depressed over that.” Then, Vlad said that the debacle turned into a “battle of the sexes.” While women sided with Megan according to Vlad, men sided with Tory. Also, he mentioned that Tory probably though that he could beat the case, but things ultimately didn’t pan out.

Kash Doll Weighs In On Tory Lanez’s Woes

“That’s just a sign of [arrogance],” Doll said of that presumed attitude. After that comment, the media personality added that he probably felt scared of going to jail, since he’d never gone. Not only that, but he suggested that his physical size played a role in that, which is more of a take you’d see on Twitter. “Probably all that stuff probably just caught up on him,” she responded. “You know… man, if you say he been doing that for years, and he been doing that to a lot of people, you have a history of that. Eventually he needed to sit down.”

Meanwhile, authorities recently lifted a gag order on Lanez, so he can now speak on Megan and the criminal case. While it hasn’t panned out to much yet, his remarks on the topic should be quite interesting. After all, it’s still a pretty present debate in people’s minds, especially as both parties’ careers unfold beyond it. Regardless of your take, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Kash Doll and Tory Lanez.

Zac Stacy’s BM Defends Him After He’s Sentenced For Domestic Violence Against Her

by

Kristin Evans wanted to bring attention to Zac Stacy’s abuse, but now, she advocates for him not to be sent to jail. The former St. Louis Rams star went viral after a video showing him throwing Evans into a television and punching her surfaced online. The violent altercation reportedly occurred in their home in front of their then-five-month-old son. The incident happened in 2021, but only recently was it revealed that Stacy received a six-month sentence in jail.

Following the news, Evans took to her Instagram to share thoughts about the scandal. These days, she explains why she would rather have Stacy undergo a different punishment than being incarcerated. “Jail does not offer resources needed for mental health patients. It is not rehabilitative,” Evans wrote in a caption to a video. “The jail and prison system is a punishment in an authoritarian society made to oppress.”

Kristin Evans Explains Her Position

“I didn’t advocate for jail because the lack of resources, the lack of rehabilitation, the lack of education for mental health,” she continued. “And the psychological effect it may have on our son, having already developed a relationship with his father.” It seems Evans believes Stacy is a good father, and she would like to keep that bond intact. “Our son consistently FaceTimed his dad several times a week, he spends the entire weekend every other weekend, and he deserves to have that.”

Evans predicted that a message such as this would earn pushback. “Please give me some grace in understanding that I’m not being easy on Zac, rather I am trying to protect our son from anymore trauma. Nothing is black and white and not every abuser is the same.”

Kristin Wants People To Let Stacy Get Better

In her video, Evans detailed why she decided to release the video of the abuse in the first place. However, she believes that people can get better, and she wants Zac Stacy to be able to do that. “Especially with a diagnosable mental illness and significant head trauma caused by Football,” she added. Stacy hasn’t released a statement about the sentencing.

Former NFL Star Zac Stacy Sentenced To Six Months In Jail Following Viral Domestic Incident

by

Ex-Rams running back Zac Stacy has met his sentencing for the viral video showcasing a domestic incident. In the video which surfaced in 2021, Stacy is seen slamming his former partner Kristen Evans to the ground, all while their child was present. The judge presiding over the case has ruled six months in prison with probation for the football player. Fox 35 Orlando reports that Stacy had entered into a plea deal earlier this month. Accordingly, some of the charges against him have been dropped.

Evans had requested that Stacy only receive probation. But after the trial, the state found that the defendant should receive a year in jail. Working with both requests, the judge ultimately ruled in the middle ground. Additionally, Stacy is to receive counseling among other services. The gruesome video captured on a home security camera showed the then 30-year-old violently attacking Evans, while their baby was on the couch beside them. Along with throwing her viciously to the floor, Stacy hit her repeatedly. He shouted at Evans, “you gon’ ruin relationships and talk about how I’m destructive?”

Zac Stacy’s Sentence Shortened By Evans Request For Probation

After the videos were released publically and Evans had filed her restraining order, Stacy had gone on to share his opinions of the incident. He claimed that his ex-partner had framed him, suggesting that she was unhappy with him wanting to end their relationship. In the video of his arrest, he mentions how he just left rehab for mental health issues. In addition, Stacy recounts how he found out that Evans had been cheating on him with his financial advisor.

Despite the unavoidable violence that was displayed in the initial domestic abuse video, Evans was the one to advocate for Stacy’s easy punishment. In court, he offered an apology to the mother of his child: “Chris. I’m very sorry for my actions. I’m very sorry for what happened, and how I hurt you. I just wasn’t mentally or emotionally healthy, and there is absolutely no justification for what I did, no excuses for my actions toward you. I never meant to hurt you, and even with the progression we made towards co-parenting, I hope deep down you can forgive me for what I’ve caused and done to you.” Currently, reports have stated that the two have shared custody of their child.

Iggy Azalea Accuses Playboi Carti Of “Serial Abuse Of Women”

by

They have had their own tense moments in the past, and Iggy Azalea is speaking on Playboi Carti’s recent legal troubles. The two rappers were in a relationship for some time and share a son, Onyx. Their breakup unraveled on social media as Azalea accused Carti of neglecting time with her and their son to creep around with other women. At the time, she also aired out their personal business—a huge moment considering they kept just about every aspect of their romance private.

More recently, Playboi Carti was reportedly arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident. The altercation itself was said to have taken place two months ago. TMZ further stated Carti was detained in Georgia and booked on charges of obstructing a person making a phone call and felony aggravated assault. Azalea emerged on Twitter with a few scathing tweets about her ex. “Been there. Done that. Warned you. 🤷‍♀️,” she began.

“Imagine having a pregnant girlfriend and pretending they don’t exist until it comes out you like to abuse them too,” Azalea also shared. “[And] rarely visiting your actual son unless is because you’re running from whatever problems ya got going on in Atlanta & the press with your serial abuse of woman 🤷‍♀️. Anyway. I’m having an actually amazing day! karmas real! Treat the people you love well! Happy Valentine’s Day. 💕🙇‍♀️.”

According to reports, it was December 20 when Carti’s then-20-weeks pregnant girlfriend said they got into an argument over paternity. She claimed a physical altercation ensued, and the rapper grabbed her by the throat until she could barely breathe before shoving her into bushes. Additionally, it wasn’t only the woman’s account that was told to investigators; a witness was said to have attempted to help the pregnant woman. It gave her enough time to wrestle from Carti and run for help.

However, Carti is accused of chasing his girlfriend to her car, where a second attack occurred. He allegedly yanked her out of the vehicle and placed his hand over her mouth. She was finally able to contact the authorities using her cellphone’s “S.O.S.” feature. When police arrived, they took note of her physical injuries, including bruising to her chest, back, and neck. Carti’s attorney denies the allegations and believes the case will be dismissed. Further, the rapper has not issued any statements about the accusations of abuse.
