Screen Shot 2023 06 20 at 2.12.48 AM

North Myrtle Beach Police Officer Kayla Wallace is being acknowledged for rescuing a woman from a shooting suspect during a routine traffic stop.

On May 28, Officer Wallace was on patrol in North Myrtle Beach when she witnessed a white Jeep running a red light at an intersection. Recognizing the violation, she promptly pulled over the vehicle to address the traffic infraction. However, as she approached the car, Officer Wallace noticed the male passenger was distressed, raising her suspicions, while the female driver silently and repeatedly mouthed the words “Help me.”

According to the Myrtle Beach Police Department, Officer Wallace observed the driver’s message and removed the passenger from the vehicle, placing him in the back seat of her patrol car.

Wallace then went back to the suspect’s vehicle and spoke to the female driver, who frantically advised that the passenger had just shot someone.

While waiting for backup to arrive, Officer Wallace engaged the occupants of the vehicle in conversation, attempting to gather more information discreetly. This approach was critical in maintaining a calm environment, minimizing the risk of escalating the situation or endangering the woman further.

“Due to Officer Wallace proactively patrolling the streets of North Myrtle Beach, even to the last 30 minutes of her shift, a suspect in a shooting was arrested and an unlawfully carried pistol was recovered underneath the suspect’s seat,” Myrtle Beach Police posted in a tribute to Wallace on Facebook.

The courage displayed by the woman, silently mouthing for help in such a dire situation, allowed law enforcement to intervene promptly, potentially preventing a tragic outcome.

According to a report from USA TODAY, 29-year-old Collins Bates has been arrested and is currently detained. He is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, kidnapping, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. These charges are in connection with a shooting incident.

Model Hits Kylie Jenner With 6-Figure Lawsuit For Late Payment

kylie

Kylie Jenner is being sued for failing to pay models for Kylie Cosmetics in a timely fashion. Model, Sasha Palma, has filed a $120,000 lawsuit against Kylie Cosmetics, claiming the business delayed her payment for two photoshoots she did for them in 2020 by more than a month.

Palma alleged in the legal documents reviewed by TMZ that she was supposed to get a $2,000 paycheck for the first job by early July since it only took a day, and the final images were publicized in June.

As for the second photoshoot, she argued that it was done in August 2020 and came with a $2,000 per day charge. However, Kylie’s Cosmetics did not send her the paycheck until more than 30 days after she finished the shoot.

She said that Jenner’s business refused to pay her on time even though they could do so, and for that, they now owe her damages totaling $60,000 each for the two cases where they missed the 30-day deadline.

The Sun reports:

KYLIE Jenner’s makeup company Kylie Cosmetics has been sued for $120k by a former model who claimed she was paid late for her photoshoots while working with the brand.

Sasha Palma has accused the makeup line of being behind in payments on two separate occasions.

According to the model’s recently filed lawsuit uncovered by TMZ, she was hired by Kylie Cosmetics for a couple of photoshoots to promote the brand’s products.

In the documents obtained by the outlet, Sasha alleged that she was “first hired for a one-day shoot back in June 2020 at a daily rate of $2,000.”

The influencer claims she was supposed to get paid by early July but that Kylie’s brand missed the deadline by more than a month.

The model asserted that Kylie Cosmetics was “perfectly able to pay her on time but they chose not to,” and as a result, she says they owe her up to $60,000 in penalty fees.

Sasha added that a similar incident occurred just one month later when she was hired for “another one-day photoshoot in August 2020.”

The beauty model claimed that again she didn’t receive her rate of $2,000 until more than 30 days after the deadline and is entitled to another $60,000.

As of Friday, June 16, a representative from Kylie’s team told TMZ that Sasha was in fact paid “before the NET 45 days per her invoice for both shoots,” adding that they “have documentation” to prove it.

Additionally, an inside source close to the makeup mogul has told TMZ that there’s a chance the model’s agent “could have held payment from her,” which would not fall on Kylie.

The informant added that “the same model later asked the company for a letter of recommendation, which Kylie’s brand did not do.”

According to the insider Sasha’s team “tried to get more work for her with Kylie’s company” after the 2020 photo shoots, despite her previous complaints of late payment.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Sasha Palma’s rep for comment but have yet to hear back.

Muslim High School Graduate Denied Diploma After Doing ‘The Griddy’ Dance On Stage

diploma

A Philadelphia muslim high school graduate was left embarrassed after she was denied her diploma during the graduation ceremony for dancing on stage.

Hafsah Abdur-Rahman, 17, is calling for change after she was denied her diploma from The Philadelphia High School for Girls for doing a dance known as “The Griddy” during the June 9 ceremony.

According to ABC 6,  a viral video shows the teen getting called to accept her diploma and dancing over to the faculty member holding the document.

However, instead of handing the graduate her diploma, the teacher denied Abdur-Rahman for doing the dance on stage.

“I understood the rules because I was saying ‘shh’ in the video. Do not say nothing because I want my diploma,” said Abdur-Rahman. “I knew and understood what we were supposed to do.”

The teen thinks because others laughed at her dance, that’s what prevented her from receiving the diploma.

“If they thought that I shouldn’t do ‘The Griddy’ across the stage and do the Girls’ High traditions, nobody should have been able to wave or blow kisses or do period signs because I feel like that’s the same thing, she said. “I feel like that’s unfair.”

Abdur-Rahman said her moment was in honor of her sister who was killed at 14 years old and now it was ruined.
The school has since released a statement about withholding the diplomas.

Azealia Banks has shared her opinion on another artist on social media again, this time her target was singer Doja Cat. Doja just released her new single, “Attention,” and  Banks revealed that she isn’t a huge fan of the “Woman” songstress and threw a shot at Kendrick Lamar.

“I really be wanting to like Doja’s music but it’s all just sooo try hard,” she began her Instagram rant. “Her first album was actually cool as hell,” she says, calling it “her own authentic art voice.” She continues, claiming Doja Cat “sounds like a white girl that grew up in a house.” “It’s not giving that pissy stairwell / bacon egg and cheese / vanilla Dutch nyc energy she’s reaching for,” Banks says, adding that California rap is “purposefully inoffensive and caters to paper shoe Tom and matted hair Abigail.”

Banks continued to tear into Doja, saying “Her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze NYC WANNABE levels of boring rippity rap/ cheesy soho whiteboy hypebeast circa ’06.” “She’s giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identity crisis vibes,” she added. Banks then called Kendrick Lamar “MAD overrated and extremely complacent.” She further accused the rapper of having “white ghostwriters writing about the black struggle n sh*t.”

Screen Shot 2023 06 13 at 8.36.29 PM

Model Jessica White claims to have been in an on-again off-again relationship with Nick Cannon for nearly a decade. We first saw them publicly in 2015 grocery shopping right ahead of his divorce from ‘the voice’ Mariah Carey. Now the Victoria’s Secret model is reaching out to her longtime lover via Instagram after he stopped communicating with her for making their relationship her storyline on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.

Jessica wrote:

Tried to reach out to you but here’s my book @nickcannon I know you’re upset about the show but after eight years I can’t stand when things catch you off guard and I feel like you deserve way more respect as a man even though I may be more respectful than you ever gave me With public announcements. . Lol I have loved and I gave eight ride or die years to you With my head high and heart praying you’d see me the way I deserved. I wanted it to work, prayed every day that you’d see me and love me the way that I loved you. Maybe you did but just kept it from me during the relationship. I walked away with more questions than anything, I don’t know till this day really why current things had to happen. I wanted the world to know I didn’t always feel good like Nc was proud to have me as a partner and I’m so happy I can say that now and still know how awesome I am. I’m proud I can say the truth and how I’m healthy emotionally and wouldn’t change my insane insecurities that I prayed off my life. I had many hurts and pain way before nick. I never felt love that was safe even as a kid so no nick you didn’t cause that pain I had it long before us but I put it off on you unfairly without seeing that my healing needed to be deeper past us. I mean you added to it but my fear of not being loved wasn’t broken by you I’d like to publicly say that. I felt like you always put the other women on a pedestal and i was beyond unstable about that. I have to say these things because I’m going to move on from public shame tht has been over my life since I was at the top of my game in fashion. I know the truth now about just how much healing I needed and God has taken my hurt I’m not ashamed by being beautiful and successful and not being loved with care throughout my life because theres big big love coming to me that will fill up my memories with joy. God will get the glory out of my broken past not shame nor sadness. the truth is NC and I were both beautifully broken when we were children and didn’t know how to love each other. Instead we hurt each other.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” Star Ariane Davis Arrested For Domestic Dispute With Another Woman

Screen Shot 2023 06 13 at 7.40.33 AM

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Ariane Davis was arrested last night for attempted assault and harassment after allegedly getting into a fight with a woman inside a Manhattan hotel, according to police.

According to the New York Post, Davis, 44, allegedly fought a 33-year-old woman inside the Moxy Times Square at 4:55 a.m. in what her attorney described as a “domestic” dispute.

The woman had scratches on her neck and sustained injuries to her hands but refused medical attention at the scene, according to police and prosecutors.

Davis was taken into custody at the hotel and was arraigned at Manhattan criminal court on one count of attempted assault and one count of harassment.

She appeared in court  Monday evening. The prosecutor, Stephan Millan, said that the socialite made a statement to officers who arrived at the scene indicating her own guilt and that the cops “observed scratches on the victim’s neck.”

He added that Davis and the victim have a “relationship together and live together” and requested a temporary order of protection, despite the victim not wanting one.

“I’ve spoken to the victim and she did state that she did not want a full temporary order of protection, that she is not in fear of her safety,” Millan said.

“However, given the relationship with the party, the fact that the defendant already confessed to hitting the complaining victim, that she did hit the complaining victim, the people are requesting a full temporary order of protection,” the prosecutor said.

Both the prosecutor and defense said the two women live together and said it was a “domestic issue.”

Judge Soma Syed issued the temporary order of protection and released Davis. Her next court date is July 26.
