Ryan Garcia Responds To Devin Haney’s Battery & Fraud Lawsuit

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney have a pretty explosive and scandalous rivalry, and their fight earlier this year in April continues to haunt them. Garcia won that bout, but officials later ruled it a no-contest due to his ingestion of the performance-enhancing drug ostarine. This week, Haney filed suit in New York, accusing his opponent of battery and fraud both before and during their match-up. He pursues unspecified damages and maintains that “his contest should have adhered to fair rules.” “While Devin Haney agreed to participate in a prize fight against Garcia, at no time did he agree to engage in a bout against an individual who had taken a performance-enhancing drug,” the lawsuit reportedly reads.

Now, Ryan Garcia has responded to Devin Haney’s lawsuit via an Instagram post. “I’m being sued for doing my job,” he wrote. “This fight has been a Netflix documentary but this right here is the finale. Your honor he simply struggles with left hook syndrome.” As for the fraud element of this debacle, Haney claims that Garcia “tried to make weight and failed” when it came to his pursuit of Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title.

In addition to Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney’s lawsuit also accuses Golden Boy Promotions of breach of contract concerning these circumstances. Haney claims the situation provoked “physical injury, reputational harm worth millions, and emotional and mental distress.” Previously, he had reacted to Garcia’s suspension from boxing. “I want to thank the commission and the fans who stood by me during this whole process,” Haney told ESPN. “The facts are the facts, and I wasn’t on an even playing field. Happy I was able to receive justice for what happened. It’s all part of my story and it’s only going to make me better. I look to enjoy this time with my family and friends and see what’s next.

“I’m a clean athlete and boxing is a brutal sport where one fight can literally change your life,” Devin Haney added concerning the Ryan Garcia situation. “I think it’s important for fighters to be clean, and I want to become an advocate for clean athletes for my experience in this situation.”

Devin Haney Sues Ryan Garcia For Alleged Fraud & Battery Over April Fight

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

These two boxers have made their disdain for each other crystal clear. The latest update in the Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia rivalry is the former’s new lawsuit against the latter for alleged battery and fraud on the journey to – and during – their April match at Barclays Center, per TMZ Sports. Haney allegedly filed the suit in New York on Friday (September 27). For those unaware, Garcia initially won that bout after multiple knockdowns, but officials called it a no-contest after they found evidence that Garcia used performance-enhancing drugs for it. Therefore, Haney says that he would not have agreed to the fight if he knew of these enhancements, and thus feels defrauded.

In addition, Devin Haney posited that Ryan Garcia’s ingestion of the drug despite his agreement to fight clean led to Garcia making various misrepresentations. The nature of these is unclear, although Haney said that they would’ve caused him to call the fight quits. But Garcia isn’t the only defendant in this situation. Haney also sued Golden Boy Promotions for alleged breach of contract. Haney seeks unspecified damages for how the situation inflicted “physical injury, reputational damage which will amount to millions of dollars, and emotional and mental distress.”

As of writing this article, it seems like neither Ryan Garcia nor Devin Haney have publicly addressed this lawsuit or the claims within. Elsewhere, though, they have plenty of other matters to jab each other over. For example, Garcia recently called the Diddy scandal a “very serious matter” despite how he trolled Haney for his alleged connection to the Bad Boy executive. As far as a response from Haney, this new lawsuit certainly answered that question.

However, there’s a chance that Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney could settle this the old-fashioned way: with another clean, sanctioned, exciting boxing match. The latter’s promoter wants to make it happen, or at least, that was the plan prior to Garcia’s expulsion from the World Boxing Council for a recent racist rant. As such, the future is uncertain when it comes to a potential round two. We’ll see what the next clash looks like…

Ryan Garcia Says Diddy’s Arrest Is A “Very Serious Matter” After Trolling Devin Haney Over It

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia says the allegations surrounding Diddy are a “very serious matter” and not one to joke about, despite trolling Devin Haney for his alleged link to the Bad Boy mogul. Speaking with TMZ in Los Angeles after authorities arrested Diddy on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, the suspended boxer expressed his concern for the alleged victims.

“We’re laughing but it’s a very serious matter,” Garcia said. “I just hope all the victims, you know, they get their due diligence because that’s sad if crazy s**t happened.” He also mentioned wanting a rematch with the 25-year-old. “If Haney wants a real match, tell him hit me up. I’ll give him another whoopin’,” he said. The center of Garcia’s trolling of Haney has revolved around Diddy’s alleged “freak off” parties and the 1,000 bottles of lube authorities allegedly found when raiding his properties.

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has downplayed the relevance of so many bottles of lube and baby oil being found on his property. “I don’t think it was 1,000, I think it was a lot, I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,” he told The New York Post outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Saturday. “And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, you know, we can’t get so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing because if it was there would be no more people.”

Ryan Garcia Discusses Diddy’s Arrest

Diddy is still being held at the infamous Brooklyn jail after failing to get out on bail, earlier this week. He’s already pleaded guilty to the charges and maintains his innocence. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney as well as Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Ryan Garcia’s Ex Wife Granted Restraining Order Following Alleged Death Threats

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The relationship between controversial boxer, Ryan Garcia, and his ex-wife, Andrea Velarde, continues to become more and more complex. According to a new report from TMZ Sports, a restraining order has been successfully admitted to her. This news comes a week after Andrea went to court to request one after the troubled star sent some life-threatening text messages. In the legal documents, she recounts a chilling night out a restaurant on July 19 with one of her siblings, her brother, Chris. Andrea then claims that Garcia showed up, caused a scene, then threatened both of them. They would go on to leave the establishment and her ex-husband would go on to follow her back home.

Andrea even says that Garcia stayed in his car for about 10 minutes in her driveway. However, it continues to get more disturbing from there. The documents also state that just two days later on July 21, Garcia was sending Andrea death threats, saying that he was going to put a hit out on Chris, her dad, and even his own sister, Demi. Some of the messages sound like they were plucked directly from a serial killer in horror movie. “I want to murder your brother… I can’t wait”, Garcia says. “Ima kill your bro slowly… Kill Demi too… Let’s do it… It will be fun lol”. Andrea replied in presumed horror to the latter, “You said your’e gonna kill Demi that’s so sad”.

Ryan Garcia’s Ex Has A Big Decision To Make

In terms of what the restraining order details are, Ryan cannot get within 100 yards of Andrea, their 2 kids, her brother, or her parents. Furthermore, he will have to move out of their home permanently remove any explicit photos or videos he may have of Andrea. However, what is perhaps even more concerning is that she is seemingly considering dropping the TRO. TMZ Sports says “they’ve talked and are committed to peacefully fixing their issues”. However, if she decides to keep it intact, Garcia’s hearing will be sometime next month.

What are your thoughts on Ryan Garcia receiving a restraining order from his ex-wife? Do you think she should/will keep it, why or why not? How do you think these conversations are going between Garcia and his ex? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

July 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Andre 3000 and Ryan Garcia are two very opposite people. Outside of the obvious field of work difference, personality wise, they are starkly different. Overall, it seems that the rapper and instrumentalist is more reserved and laid-back, whereas the boxer possesses an explosive and unpredictable persona. The latter is partially why the superstar is so controversial. His various rants about religion, celebrities, and his opponents are just the tip of the iceberg. It seems like every week; Garcia makes a new questionable decision that either alters his career or image.

“Andre 3000 has no idea he took a pic with a high functioning crackhead”, another adds. Someone else made a quip that he mistook him another similar-looking celebrity. “Im sure he just thought it was mario lopez and wanted to catch up a bit”. Then there are others were trying to push the idea that the rapper does in fact know who he is but was not able to avoid flicking up. “3k trying to get outta there before the pic”. Regardless, it was good to see Garcia appear to be happy in this moment.

Ryan Garcia Goes On Unhinged Rant Condemning The LGBTQ+ Community To Hell

July 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia is coming under fire on social media for going on a wild rant about the Paris Olympics and the LGBTQ+ community which ended with him demanding anyone in the community unfollow him and “burn in hell.” He’s posted dozens of tweets on the topic after a portion of the four-hour opening ceremony show showcased drag queens recreating “The Last Supper.”

“Wtf is this gay sh*t,” Garcia wrote in response to the opening ceremony. He followed that up with: “F*ck the Olympics boycott it for the disrespect of Jesus Christ.” In more posts, he added: “The lgbq community is a cult,” as well as, “Now gay people and lesbians If you have that in you I can find forgiveness and love but the sh*t the community is doing to the kids I don’t f*ck with at all.”

From there he shared a Google search of Leviticus 18:22 with the caption: “Gays it’s a abomination to God. You have a problem with the most High not me You a disgusting to God.” He added again: “So trans community you can do whatever you want disrespect show your penises out and walk around like your sh*t don’t stink but I fight back and everyone’s is scared f*ck you burn in hell you woke up a different animal… BURN IN HELL TRANS PEOPLE.”

Ryan Garcia Charged With Vandalism After Ruining Luxury Hotel Room

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Star professional boxer Ryan Garcia received a misdemeanor vandalism charge stemming from his alleged meltdown at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. Garcia was first accused of the crime on June 8, after authorities claimed he snapped and wrecked a room and a hallway at the luxury Los Angeles area hotel. It is another instance to add to the pugilist’s year of making a regrettable choice and feeling the consequences.

L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón announced formal charges against Garcia on Thursday morning. One count of vandalism $400 or more in damage or destruction of property. If convicted, he faces up to a year in prison. He will appear before a judge on August 7. “While we are grateful no injuries were reported in this incident, reckless behavior that damages property shows a blatant and unacceptable disregard for the safety and peace of our community,” Gascón said in a public statement. “Our office will work to ensure the responsible individual is held accountable.”

Ryan Garcia Charged With Vandalism

This vandalism charge is the latest issue Ryan Garcia finds himself on the receiving end of. Garcia fought Devin Haney in April. The fight was originally for the WBC super lightweight championship. Unfortunately for Garcia, he was 3.2 pounds over the weight limit at the weigh-in. Garcia and Haney agreed to a wager that would cost the offending party $500 thousand per missed pound. That decision cost Garcia $1.5 million. Additionally, Garcia forfeited nearly $600 thousand of his purse and was ineligible to win the title. After Garcia defeated Haney, a positive drug test meant that the result did not matter. The New York State Athletic Commission declared the fight a no contest.

Garcia’s year only got worse when the NYSAC suspended him for a year for his usage of performance-enhancing drugs. Then, the WBC expelled him for using racist language. And now, he finds himself looking down the barrel of a jail stint. Garcia has been candid in discussing his mental health issues, but has reportedly declined any attempts to help him. An entirely avoidable situation for one of boxing’s former bright young stars.

Ryan Garcia Calls Eminem An “Overrated Gay Satanist” In Latest Twitter Rant

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Ryan Garcia wasn’t a big fan of The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), because he just went on a wild Twitter rant against Eminem on Sunday (July 14). “Eminem is a satanist,” he posted on his account after cosigning Candace Owens’ takedown of the Detroit rapper for dissing her. “It’s not even debatable. I always thought he was overrated but hey that’s just my opinion. Wait Eminem is a homo? Eminem=Gay. For the record I don’t care if Eminem is Gay. Nor do I care if he was straight. Just keep that devil shit he’s doing in his music videos away from kids.”

Then, Ryan Garcia posted a picture of Eminem dressed as Britney Spears for the “Real Slim Shady” music video with the caption “Feminem.” “You can’t pay enough me to wear a dress and heels,” he added afterwards. “If I ever do, just remember I didn’t want to do it. I’d go down fighting before I start doing all that.” The boxer reacted to some outlandish Slim Shady lyrics and complained about his belief that people let Em slide for his stuff, but that they then trash Garcia whenever he has a controversial take.

But this is Ryan Garcia’s smallest fish to fry these days, as he’s recently issued multiple apologies for his concerning behavior. His most recent one was to his ex-wife Andrea Celina for allegedly trashing her home and verbally abusing her. “I came on here just to say I’m sorry,” Garcia remarked. “Andrea, you’re the mother of my children and somebody I’ll always have love and respect for. I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me, she never did wrong by me, she never cheated on me. We weren’t together, so right there, she’s not a cheater. She’s a great woman. In the next couple of months, you’re gonna see a change.”

Furthermore, Ryan Garcia’s previous Twitter rant included the n-word, mockery of George Floyd, and disparaging remarks against many other groups, on top of resulting in his expulsion from the World Boxing Council amid his current PED suspension. “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Mauricio Sulaiman stated. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being [sic]. He has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

Ryan Garcia Apologizes To Ex-Wife & Goes Partying In Hawaii A Day Later

July 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia is the subject of a lot of controversy these days, especially after some alleged nasty texts to his ex-wife Andrea Celina and claims that he trashed her home surfaced. The boxer posted an apology video on social media specifically directed to Celina. “I came on here just to say I’m sorry,” his remarks began. “Andrea, you’re the mother of my children and somebody I’ll always have love and respect for. I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me, she never did wrong by me, she never cheated on me. We weren’t together, so right there, she’s not a cheater. She’s a great woman.”

“In the next couple of months, you’re gonna see a change,” Ryan Garcia remarked, referring to the various reasons for which people are concerned with his behavior and mental state, whether due to substance abuse or other factors. Regardless, it seems like he’s not going cold turkey just yet, as he was recently spotted shirtless and partying in Hawaii clubs. This adds to Garcia’s recent antics and smaller headlines in comparison to his more controversial fare. For example, his recent link-up with Wiz Khalifa drew some backlash for seemingly trying to win favor back from the public, particularly the Black community.

This is because Ryan Garcia recently went on a racist Twitter rant during which he used the n-word multiple times, mocked George Floyd, disparaged Muslims, and attacked other groups and individuals. This resulted in his expulsion from the World Boxing Council, which adds to his present suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Mauricio Sulaiman shared. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being [sic]. He has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

“I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time,” Ryan Garcia’s father told Fight Hub TV. “He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t… Get that therapy so he can stop.”

Ryan Garcia Allegedly Trashed His Ex-Wife’s Home & Sent Her Violent Texts

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last several months, boxing sensation Ryan Garcia continues to find himself in some sort of trouble. Whether it be inside or outside of the ring, pretty much all of it seems to be self-inflicted. His most recent actions got him tossed out of the WBC (World Boxing Council). He went on a racially-charged X tirade, all of which centered around the death of George Floyd, the Israel-Palestine debacle, in addition to slurs directed at multiple discriminated groups. Furthermore, he is currently out of boxing entirely for 12 months after two positive PED tests, one of which occurred after his now rescinded win over Devin Haney.

These are just the tip of the iceberg for Garcia and now he is in more controversy. According to The Shade Room, his ex-wife, Andrea Celina, is accusing him of ransacking their home in addition to some extreme verbal abuse/harassment. She shared multiple photos of the damages, as well as the supposed text messages and FaceTime calls from Garcia all through her Instagram Story.

Andrea Celina Has Proof Of Ryan Garcia’s Alleged Actions

As far as the photo evidence regarding the interior wreckage, it is clear that Garcia was enraged. Multiple items including a small trampoline, plants, children’s toys, and a stroller were strewn about the living room and kitchen. Garcia appears to be in view of the security camera while holding that trampoline. As for the messages, they are very derogatory and quite disturbing. Garcia calls her a wh*re, a b****, and even threatens to “f*** [her] up”. Then, there are additional texts between Andrea and her former partner in regard to seeing their two kids. She is supposedly over the out-of-nowhere visits and wants supervision while he is around. Garcia allegedly is not taking responsibility for his actions and supposed addictions that she outlines. Because of her new rules and it led him to repeatedly trying to FaceTime. He has yet to comment on any of this alleged evidence from Andrea.

What are your thoughts on Ryan Garcia allegedly making a mess inside his ex-wife’s home and threatening her with texts? Do you think this is who the boxer is, or is he dealing with some personal demons? What kind of legal action do you see his ex-partner take moving forward?
