Former Nashville cop Maegan Hall who was fired in December for sleeping with half of the police force has filed a lawsuit against the city of La Vergne.

In her lawsuit, Hall, 26, claims she was “sexually groomed” by other officers and the police chief.

According to the 51-page federal lawsuit obtained by the NY Post, Hall claims she felt trapped and exploited by the “predators” on the male-dominated police force.

“Where Ms. Hall sought role models at her new job, she instead found predators,” the lawsuit says. “In place of offering professional development, her supervisors and the chief of police groomed her for sexual exploitation.”

The lawsuit went on to say the officers abused their authority “to systematically disarm her resistance and entrap her in degrading and abusive sexual relationships, even sharing tips on the best ways to manipulate and exploit her.”

Hall and six other officers, including La Vergne Police Chief Burrel “Chip” Davis, were fired for engaging in oral sex and other intimate acts while on the job.

She said she first became intimate with ex-officers Lewis Powell and Ty McGowan a year after she joined the police force in 2020 at age 24.

The lawsuit names the city of La Vergne, Powell, McGowan and Davis as defendants.

Hall claims the ex-police chief “encouraged this behavior and shared in the pornography and sexual fantasy of mutually abusing Ms. Hall with his trusted supervisor, Ty McGowan.”

Hall is accused of being intimate with other married officers in patrol cars, a hot tub and on a “family” Memorial Day party boat.

In an interview with an investigator, Hall admitted she had a threesome with one cop and his wife. She told the investigator she “got stupid” and “got desperate” in the midst of a divorce.

Unable to find another job in law enforcement, Hall filed a lawsuit seeking an unspecified amount in damages for lost wages, medical expenses, mental suffering, emotional distress and “reputational harm.”

Do you think she deserves a lawsuit settlement?

A 31-year-old mother of two died after she had liposuction at a clinic located in a mall in the eastern Venezuelan city of Cumaná.

Ana Rosa Mavarez fell ill after undergoing the minimally invasive procedure at the Marina Plaza Ambulatory Surgery Unit on Saturday night.

Mavarez, mother to an eight-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy, was rushed to a medical facility, where she was pronounced dead early Sunday morning.
Authorities arrested Dr. Alexander Larrochelle, who reportedly operated on Mavarez, after he visited a local police station to provide a statement Sunday.

Dr. Larrochelle will be held for up to 45 days while investigators go over their findings.

The surgeon performed a lipolaser on Mavarez, her mother, Petra Rivero, told news portal El Pitazo.

Mavarez’s condition continued to decline while Dr. Larrochelle used a laser to break down fat cells and tighten loose skin.

Petro said her daughter complained about severe pain and was not given medicine to treat the discomfort.

She added that Mavarez had her own lipo pump at the facility to reduce the swelling, but that one of the nurses declined to use it.
Mavarez began convulsing around 10pm and was not intubated until 12:30 am when Dr. Larrochelle showed up at the clinic.

Rivero said that the death certificate showed her daughter’s time of death as 11 pm, and that Dr. Larrochelle and the staff tried to convince the family into thinking that she was still alive.

The family searched all of Cumaná for an ambulance to transport Mavarez to another hospital, but were unable to do so because none of the ambulances were equipped with oxygen.

Mavarez was eventually transferred to a clinic at 4:30 am. Doctors admitted her into the facility without vital signs and confirmed her death.

“I am going to fight for my daughter, because she was not an animal. And just as it happened to my daughter, it has happened to many,” Rivero said. “And it’s going to keep happening if they don’t retaliate with that bum. That’s a butcher shop they have there.”

[WATCH] Brutally Beaten Baby Mama Defends NFL Player Zac Stacy Following 6-Month Jail Sentence

Two years ago former NFL player Zac Stacy was arrested on felony assault charges after his baby mama Kristin Evans leaked a shocking video of him brutally assaulting in front of their child. Yesterday reports revealed that Stacy has been sentenced to 6 months jail time and one year’s probation after accepting a plea deal.

Social media users were shocked at the sentencing he received for the brutal beating. At the time his ex-girlfriend said the Nov. 13 incident left her with “serious and likely permanent” injuries. She shared, “I was punched, slapped, literally picked up and thrown into my TV and then (he) picked me up and slammed me into my son’s bouncy seat by my throat. This is not the first time he has been violent with me. I am afraid for my safety and for my children’s safety,” Evans said in court, according to the outlet.

More were shocked that his brutalized victim is now coming to his defense.

Evans advocated for mental health treatment rather than prison time on Tuesday, saying it would protect the son she shared with Zac Stacey from further “trauma”

The former St. Louis Rams player reportedly fled the state of Florida after an arrest warrant was issued. A week later, he was arrested upon arrival at the Orlando International Airport and charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief.

Earlier this month in Orange County, Florida, Stacy, 31, pleaded guilty to two charges of criminal mischief, and as a result of his plea, the battery charges against him were dropped.

“People who are willing to put in work to be better, deserve an opportunity to show that they can be better,” she wrote in the video’s caption.

Evans said that at first, following the attack in 2021, Stacy “showed no signs of remorse and he ran to another state, so I released the videos so he would get arrested.”

In the time since then, however, she said the former NFL running back had made significant improvements to his life.

“He decided to change,” said Evans. “Through cognitive behavioral therapy, he was able to make a significant adjustment in his behavior and communication. And over the last six months, he’s consistently shown an improvement as well as our son enjoying spending time with him.”

Evans added that many people who advocate for harsh sentencing also don’t understand the difficulty that domestic abuse survivors have in trying to balance their safety “with what’s right for our children.”

“I have to speak to this man and exchange a child and co-parent a child with this man for the rest of my life,” Evans said. She also expressed that she “didn’t advocate for jail” because of “the lack of resources, the lack of rehabilitation, the lack of education for mental health, and the psychological effect it may have on our son, having already developed a relationship with his father.”

At the close of her post, she asked for “grace in understanding” that she’s not “being easy” on her ex-boyfriend, but trying to protect her son “from anymore trauma.”

Talk show host Tamron Hall pressed Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife Larsa Pippen about her relationship with Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan. The Real Housewives of Miami star showed up for a sitdown interview with Tamron.  Larsa confronted Hall, telling the television veteran she felt she was being treated negatively during the Tamron Hall Show interview.

Larsa shared the details on her and Marcus Jordan’s unexpected romance — admitting she “thinks” the pair are in love! The reality star insisted she and her beau “are in a really good place” even though some judge their 16-year age gap.

Screen Shot 2023 03 01 at 7.54.02 AM

“Age doesn’t determine your level of maturity,” the The Real Housewives of Miami cast member, 48, stated, then explaining how the two’s friendship grew into something more.

“I feel like a lot of people think we’ve known each other for our whole lives and we have not. We met four years ago at a party,” Pippen spilled, noting they bonded over some of the things they have in common, such as being from Chicago.

Hall asked why the mom-of-four decided to pursue a romance given the fact her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, has a feud with Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan.

“That’s how Scottie feels. He has a right to the way he feels,” she replied. “I personally don’t really care about what other people … I live my truth, I’m happy.”

Larsa emphasized she never “planned” to date Marcus, 32, but it’s something that “just happened” since they continued to hangout in the same social circle.
When Tamron asked if his parents were ok with their relationship, Larsa assured both of their parents are content. “Everyone’s fine. When you’re an adult, your parents just want to see you happy,” the Bravo fan favorite shared, noting she’s received his folks’ blessing. “We’ve spent holidays together. We’re in a great place.”

Hall asked if Larsa felt she should discuss her relationships with her ex, Larsa replied no. “Do you feel like you should ask your ex about your future love interest?”

“The only conversations we have are based on our kids,” she elaborated. “I don’t ask him who he’s dating, he doesn’t ask me who I’m dating.”

“As long as my kids are happy … my kids love Marcus. We travel together, my kids really enjoy spending time with him,” the Illinois native noted. “I feel like I’m in a great place and that’s the most important thing.”

Before any beef ruined the project, Kim and Foxy were just two beautiful chicks from the hood repping their crews and grabbing the baton from Queen Latifah, Mc Lyte, and more.

Dwyane Wade Dedicates NAACP Award To Daughter Zaya: ‘All I’ve Wanted To Do Was Get It Right’

Over the weekend Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union received the prestigious Presidents Award from the NAACP at the 54th annual Image Awards.

Both gave moving speeches advocating for the Black LGBTQIA community

“I am intentional when I use my platform. I recognize what I have been given and it is my job to uplift the voices of others and share my access and resources,” Wade said.

Wade opened the speech by dedicating the award to his 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, who is transgender.

“Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do is get it right. I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on the public scrutiny and, even though it’s not easy, I’ve watched you walk out of that house every morning as yourself,” Wade said.

The retired NBA star thanked his daughter for showing him “that there is more than just one way to communicate effectively.”
“You’ve taught me that communication with my mouth isn’t enough. I have to also communicate with my two ears and my two eyes,” Wade said.

Gabrielle joined by saying, “A new era that demands our collective answer to one simple question: Will we fight for some or will we fight for all of our people?” Even as we demand equality at the top of our lungs, we consistently fail to extend our advocacy to protect some of our most vulnerable among us.”

To an emotional crowd, Wade ended his speech saying that he was “proud to be chosen” as Zaya’s father.

“Zaya, you’ve made me a better human just simply by being who you were born to be, a baby girl, Zaya Wade,” he said. “So baby thank you for showing the world what courage looks like.”

[WATCH] Hospital Fires Nurse Caught Slamming Newborn Baby In Viral Video

by
Screen Shot 2023 02 26 at 10.45.02 AM

A NY Hospital fired a nurse who was caught slamming a crying newborn baby into a bassinet in the NICU.
Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, NY terminated the nurse after a shocking video of the incident went viral.
“It was heartbreaking,” said baby Nikko’s mother, Consuelo Saravia. “I couldn’t stop crying, I couldn’t even sleep.”

2-day-old Nikko was in the Neonatal ICU for observation after receiving antibiotics. First-time father, Fidel Sinclair, went to see his son in the NICU and noticed him crying through a small opening in a curtain over the window.

When he began recording on his cellphone he captured a disturbing sight. A nurse grabbed baby Nikko, turned him around and slammed him face down into the bassinet.

“I don’t know, it just broke me,” said Fidel. “I didn’t know what to do.”

Fidel showed the video to Consuelo, who confronted the nurse.

Consuelo recalled the conversation: “I told her ‘I don’t want you to touch my child. You just slammed him.’ She said ‘Oh no, if you think I mishandled him or anything, I’m sorry.’”

Consuelo showed the video to other nurses and hospital administrators.

Catholic Health, which runs Good Samaritan, told NBC New York that immediate action was taken, including conducting an investigation and firing the individual involved.

“Additionally, we reported the individual to the Department of Health for further review. Keeping our patients safe remains our paramount concern.”

Fidel said he’s thankful he decided to go check on his son when he did.

“If it wasn’t for God who sent me to check on him we would have never seen any of that happen,” he said. “And It would have kept happening overnight not only to him but the other babies, too.”

He added: “I find it messed up that in a room like that they have all the curtains closed.”

Catholic Health defended the use of closed curtains in the NICU windows.

“It is standard procedure to have closed curtains in the neonatal ICU to provide privacy for the patients and their families.”

Suffolk Police say their Special Victims Unit is investigating while Baby Nikko is at home doing fine.

Zaya Wade Officially Granted Name and Gender Change on Birth Certificate

by
Screen Shot 2023 02 26 at 9.44.14 AM

Last year social media was in a frenzy when retired NBA player Dwyane Wade filed a legal petition to change his son Zion’s name and gender. Wade filed the petition for the new birth certificate two years after his son came out as transgender.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Wade originally asked a Los Angeles County Court judge to make the transition official, and change his child’s name from Zion Malachi Airamis Wade to Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade.

Although Zaya’s mother, Wade’s first wife Siovaugh Funches-Wade, objected to the change addresses the mother of his daughter D Wade confirmed he has full authority to make this decision. “Pursuant to the terms of the Final Custody Judgment, (Wade) has full authority to make decisions on behalf of the petitioning minor, and he is not required to receive consent from Ms. Funches-Wade. As a courtesy, Ms. Funches-Wade has received notice of this petition,” the document reads. Also, it specifically cites the reason for the change as “to conform with gender identity.”

TMZ reports that the change is now official.

According to new legal docs we obtained, an L.A. County judge just signed off on the new legal identity for Dwyane’s transgender 15-year-old.

Zion Malachi Airamis Wade is now legally Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade … and the judge also ruled in favor of her official gender change from male to female.
