A report out of Virginia Beach, VA has confirmed that the Kempsville High School varsity baseball team has forfeited the remainder of their 2024 season due to an ongoing investigation into allegations of racism, hate speech and harassment.

A message from Kempsville High School principal Melissa George sent to parents, which was shared with local news affiliate WTKR News 3, reads the following,

“After our lengthy investigation after we received allegations of racism on the baseball team earlier in April, we have found that racism, hate speech, and harassment have been an ongoing issue for multiple years. Due to additional information we have through our investigation, at this time we are forfeiting (the May 2) game against PA (Princess Anne). Working with the Senior Executive Director of High Schools, Dr. Walter Brower, the Chief of Schools, Mr. Matt Delaney, and Coach Penn, we came to the decision that we can not in good faith play baseball knowing the number of players involved. We will continue to work with VBCPS officials and school level personnel to determine what the remainder of the season will look like. Please know that this is much broader than the initial allegations brought forth and stems across multiple years. Should you have questions or concerns, you can reach out to Dr. Brower… More information will be sent out once a decision has been made.

Thank you,
Melissa George”

The allegations come from a parent of one of the players, who is Black, says their child was called racials slurs on several occasions, including the n-word.. The parent of the player has posted about the incidents on Facebook and has even vowed to seek legal representation.

Other parents of Black players were asked about the allegations by WTKR, but they refused to comment on the matter.

This afternoon, VBCPS(Virginia Beach City Public Schools) shared an additional statement about the situation, confirming that hate speech, harassment, and racism were evident.

Kempsville High School administration and VBCPS Department of School Leadership conducted an investigation of the Kempsville High School varsity baseball team.

Trina & Florence El Luche Clash On “L&HH Miami,” Former Accused Of Haitian Hate Speech

Love & Hip Hop stars have been causing plenty of ruckus lately, from shamelessly using racial slurs to dishing on their sex lives. In the latter category is Prince, who revealed on the We in Miami podcast that he allegedly slept with Lori Harvey. As for the former, Erica Mena lost her job on the reality series for calling Spice a “monkey” during an altercation. Now, some viewers are suggesting Trina should get the same treatment for comments that came out during a fight with Florence El Luche on L&HH Miami.

Footage of the incident is currently circulating online, causing people to debate whether or not the Florida native intended to offend her co-star and her Haitian roots. In the video below, chaos quickly ensues between cast members, during which Trina is accused by Gaelle of robbing her sister, Flo. The 44-year-old didn’t hesitate to deny these allegations, grabbing a nearby microphone to make sure her response was heard loud and clear.

Gaelle said that the “Pull Over” hitmaker failed to return De Luche’s money to her, but at the same time, Trina couldn’t help but point out that the siblings don’t even get along. “I’m really not the motherf**king one!” Da Baddest B**ch reminded everyone in the vicinity. “Not her getting on the mic so she could hear her insults crystal clear😂😂😂.. Purrrr lol,” one IG user pointed out in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. “Firstly, Trina said something about voodoo cause Gaelle accused Flo of putting a curse on her… Please with the slurs 🙄,” another person wrote.

Elsewhere in the news, earlier this year Trina finally gave us some insight as to whether or not she and Tory Lanez actually dated. According to her, they never made it to couple status, though the Canadian apparently had a crush on his fellow artist. Read more about that at the link below, and check back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Joseline Hernandez’s Arrest Body Cam Footage Shows Her Shoving Cops & Using Hate Speech

There was excitement in the air when Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III came together for a brawl last month. Of course, the professional fighters weren’t the only ones in the building who put their hands on each other. Reality stars Joseline Hernandez and Big Lex also got into an altercation that resulted in the former being arrested on battery charges. Today (July 11), TMZ released body cam footage from the moment police attempted to detain her. Needless to say, it doesn’t paint Joseline in a very flattering light.

The Puerto Rican’s anger was still running rampant by the time Sunrise PD authorities arrived. Hernandez was quick to go after them with verbal and physical attacks. She made it abundantly clear that she wasn’t comfortable with being touched by any white men. From there, things only became more chaotic. The 36-year-old threw her phone at a man in the room attempting to calm her down. It’s been speculated that he’s the same voice who called Lex a “d*mb a** b**ch” when her and Joseline’s spat broke out.

Joseline Hernandez Lashes Out at Cops After Battery Arrest

As cops stepped in to de-escalate that drama, the multi-talent shoved one of them. In response, the other responding officers in the room took Hernandez to the ground as she continued to yell troubling homophobic and racial messages at them. The mother of one was eventually handcuffed, though she still resisted being taken away. This ultimately left police with no choice but to pick her up by the legs to carry her out.

Social media users have had plenty to say about the tense video, many of them speculating that the socialite’s inability to handle her liquor (or perhaps other substances) leads her to act out in anger. “This is not SOBER behaviour 🥴, and let’s not pretend it is,” one concerned person wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments. “Once she points that finger at you, get outta dodge 😂,” another laughed. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about the bold personality that is Joseline Hernandez, check out our full report at the link below.
