Ever since Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s death back in January, Vanessa Bryant has had to deal with some devastating details and new stories. Perhaps the most disrespectful story to come out thus far is the fact that numerous officers allegedly took photos of the crash site and then began to share the photos amongst their friends. In fact, one officer even showed the photos to a woman at a bar as a means to impress her.

According to TMZ, Bryant is currently suing L.A. County for the breach of privacy, and with new court docs revealed today, it became clear that it was much more than just officers who took photos. In the report, it states that two firefighters actually took some pictures as well and that they are about to be fired from their posts.

An L.A. County Fire media relations officer was sent the photos and reportedly showed them to various other firefighters. Needless to say, some very nasty stuff was allegedly happening among firefighters and officers, and we can only imagine how that must have made the victims’ families feel. 

As it stands, Bryant’s lawsuit is still in the early stages and could take a while to play out. Stay tuned to HNHH as we will make sure to bring you the latest updates on this story.

The fallout from those resurfaced tweets is reportedly disrupting Chrissy Teigen’s business partnerships. Recently, Courtney Stodden, the once-16-year-old who married 50-year-old The Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison back in 2011, revealed that all those years ago when Stodden was a minor, the model received messages from Teigen urging the teen to “take a dirt nap.” Other resurfaced tweets of Teigen’s show that Stodden wasn’t the only person that the model mogul sent scathing messages to, and Teigen returned with an apology.

She shared that she was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” of her behavior and offered an apology to Stodden. However, Stodden stated that Teigen never reached out to her privately or directly contacted her, and soon, Candace Owens jumped in. The conservative pundit went off on Teigen and even asked Target, who sells “Craving by Chrissy Teigen” cookware, if they approved of this behavior. Today (May 13), it was announced that Target pulled her line.

While there has been speculation that this latest scandal from Teigen caused her to lose a partnership with the mega-retail chain, TMZ reports that their “sources” claim that isn’t the case. The outlet states that those sources revealed Teigen and Target’s “mutual and amicable decision” to part ways was reached back in December because she’s wanted to break their exclusivity contract so that she could sell her products in other retailers.

As much as people are calling for Teigen to be axed from her business deals, TMZ states that she isn’t “feeling the heat” regarding the Stodden controversy.

In just under a month from now, Logan Paul will get to fight Floyd Mayweather in what could very well be the biggest farce the boxing world has ever seen. On the contrary, it could be a very good fight, with both men giving it their all and putting on a great show for the entire world to see. At this point, no one truly knows what is going to happen although there is no doubt it will be some sort of big spectacle.

Leading up to the event, Logan has been training hard and on Thursday, he took to YouTube with a brand new video in which he fought against Rob Gronkowski’s four brothers. In the video down below, Gronk was the referee for the festivities all while Gronk’s four brothers each got one round against Logan.

In the end, Logan was able to win each round pretty easily although it makes sense when you consider he has all of the formal training. Rob himself said he would be down to go up against Logan in the future and while this sounds like a good idea, it will probably never actually happen.

Either way, this was a nice easy warm-up for Logan although once June 6th rolls around, things are probably going to get a lot harder for him.

He’s accused Tory Lanez of assaulting him in a nightclub back in November 2019, but Love & Hip Hop Miami’s Prince has recently filed a police report against the singer. According to Prince, real name Christopher Michael Hardy, he had yet another altercation with Lanez last week when the reality star alleges that he was sucker-punched in the left side of his face.

Prince has shared a video of what he claims are his injuries from the most recent altercation, and yesterday (May 12), he shared a clip of him playing basketball with Lanez. In the caption, Prince petitions for his shot to go toe-to-toe with the singer in the boxing ring.

“I feel like y’all genuinely feel like this man can walk up to me , smack me in mouth & just keep going like sh*t cool …. by himself,” wrote Prince. “I will BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF SHORTY LANEZ . But unfortunately, he has more money & is just way more lit than I am . So he can afford to keep big security n*ggas around to protect him EVERYWHERE he goes . Or pay for the Zoe’s in Miami to protect him . I’m forever alone , or with women . Only options available to me to retaliate will end up with me in prison , dead or seriously f*cked up .”

“So let’s do this … I’ll drop the lawsuit against you @torylanez , if you let @triller & @celebrityboxing1 set up a fight between us,” Prince continued. “So now you don’t have to run me a bag , & we can make a bag together . & really show the people what they want . That you’ll pop me in mouth & beat my ass . Cuz you can right ? @johnnydonovan make it happen . Floyd fighting Logan , someone get us on the card.”

Tory has denied any involvement in the assault on Prince. Check out the posts below.

Not long after his former co-host Rory Farrell tweeted a brief statement about their exit from The Joe Budden Podcast, Jamil “Mal” Clay is speaking his mind. There were rumors that the relationship between Mal, Rory, and Budden was reaching its breaking point, and when they were noticeably absent from the podcast, people speculated that it was the end for the trio. Budden joked that he offered to go to therapy with Rory and the three friends reunited on the series once again, but a recently released leaked audio shows Budden firing his friends and drawing the line in the sand.

Rory later thanked supporters and said he would address the drama at a later date, and it looks like Mal is jumping in to speak his piece. “The lies are always loud. The truth is always quiet. I promise you,” tweeted Mal. “The supporters deserve the truth.”

“Black people love to discredit one another. It’s a disease that kills our community,” he added elsewhere. “I’ve been cool and quiet for too long. I’m allowed to get out of character for at least an hour. Maybe 40 mins. The truth is usually short and simple.” Someone encouraged him to speak “his truth,” but Mal was quick to correct them and say it’s “the truth,” not just one person’s perspective.

Mal added that people who have supported them for so long deserve to know the truth and stated that the situation between himself, Budden, and Farrell has already been resolved. “I’m not with the corny sh*t,” he tweeted. “I’m only willing to sit down and address everything because people supported something for years. They deserve that.”

Red Table Talk may be calling soon. Read through a few of Mal’s tweets below.

When it comes to sporting events, there is no denying that fans like to get testy with one another. Sometimes, these altercations in the stands can get violent which leads to some pretty severe outcomes. Most of the time, these fights go down at football and hockey games, where the action down below is already violent as is. However, this typically isn’t always the case when it comes to baseball, where the sport is a lot calmer at times, albeit it can quickly devolve if the two teams hate each other.

On Wednesday, baseball saw one of its wildest fan moments in a while as the Colorado Rockies took on the San Diego Padres in Colorado. In the clip below, a Padres fan got up from his seat and walked over to a Rockies supporter. It was there that the Padres fan wound up and completely knocked out the man in the Rockies jersey.

According to TMZ, the Rockies fan was okay and won’t be pressing charges. As a result, the Padres fan was not arrested, although he was roughed up a bit after delivering that big punch.

In the end, the Rockies fan may have lost the fight but his team won the war as the Rockies came away with a 3-2 victory.
