Deanna Gines tells that she was with Brown at the Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, where he had a concert.
She claims that as the venue was about to close, the singer deliberately “shoved her to the ground” and she fell hard on her knees.

 

She told the gossip site that she then had to go to the hospital where doctors told her she had torn ligaments in her right knee and may have to have surgery.
His rep told TMZ: "I'm unaware of the incident, as is Chris' lawyer and his entire team. He was in a great mood after Powerhouse." Nicole Perna, Brown’s rep, added, "None of this makes sense."

OAU BABY SAGA: Why would I flush my baby into the toilet? – The Student-Mother cries out!

Oyinlola Diana Rotimi, an undergraduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, who was reported to have allegedly attempted to flush her new born baby down the toilet at the Moremi Hall of the university has disclosed that she knew she was pregnant and never attempted to kill her baby.

it was gathered that Oyinlola is a 22-year-old 300 level student of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development of the university who resides off campus. But owing to the fact that she was going to sit for an examination at the early hours of Wednesday, she decided to squat with a friend who resides on campus in Room 103, Block B, Moremi Hall.
The student-mother who is currently in stable condition with her son at the University’s Health Centre, according to sources confided in some of her friends about her pregnancy and the father of the baby, a Medical Engineering student of the same institution.
She said “Why would I flush or kill my baby after going through the pains of carrying it for good nine months. I’m not heartless and I thank God for my life and the safe delivery. I know God has the best for me and my baby. I seriously appreciate the cleaners for their help because I got here (the health centre) before I could understand everything that happened to me, but now, I’m happy, I’m alive and my baby is alive too,” Oyinlola revealed.
Meanwhile, OAU Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olanrewaju corroborated the claim, saying, the alleged flushing of the baby by one of the institution’s undergraduate was not true after all.
Olanrewaju in a statement a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune stated that “ Contrary to versions of story surrounding the incident of a childbirth which occurred at the Moremi Hall of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on Wednesday, 19th June, 2013, the visitation to the health centre early this morning and interaction with the mother of the baby by the Security Unit of the University, the Dean, Students’ Affairs and the PRO, revealed that Diana Oyinlola was willing to have the baby and that there was no attempt whatsoever to conceal the pregnancy, talk less of aborting it and talk less of wanting to flush the baby away through the Water closet.
“The truth of the matter is that, there was a delivery of a baby boy by an inexperienced mother who, in her naivety, thought she was pressed by call of nature while she was actually in labour pains. Prior to the appearance of the baby, the young, inexperienced mother had discovered that she was bleeding and went to the toilet only to observe that something expelled into the water closet. It was at that juncture that she screamed and shouted for help.
“As at now, Diana Oyinlola’s parent was with her and she (Oyin) has started breast feeding her baby.
Upon interaction, in the presence of Matron Mrs. M.G. Oyedele, Oyin stated that prior to the delivery, she was passing stool and had visited toilet several times but the last time she went around 7:am, she could not describe how she was feeling.
“Thereafter, our Security Unit invited Satope for interrogation and confirmed the claim of Diana Oyinlola. Satope stated that Diana had to spend the night (18/06/2013) on campus to enable her prepare for her 8:00 am examination the next day because she stays off-campus. She stated that at mid-night, Oyin started complaining of stomach upset and was visiting toilet regularly. She claimed that at about few minutes to 7:00am, the roommates suggested that Oyin be taken to the University Health Center to enable her write the early morning examination in good health.
“It was around this time that Oyin went back to the toilet and that she (Satope) traced her to the toilet but later discovered that she had expelled what is now known as a baby in the toilet. She stated further that at the sight of the baby, she was stunned and called for help from the cleaner who later came and assisted in taking the baby from the WC to the Health Center.
“However, she stated that Oyinlola never intended to flush the baby but that she (Oyinlola) gave birth before her due date (EDD July) but was only ignorant of the tell tale signs of incoming baby, being the first experience,” Olanrewaju stated.

13-year-old charged with killing sister, 5!





The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in New Orleans said they have arrested a 13-year-old boy, Devalon Armstrong, for killing his 5-year-old sister.
Detectives spoke with the girl's mother, Adlourdes Desvallons, 39, and determined the teen was babysitting the girl, Viloude Louis, at the time of the incident Sunday. 

Devalon allegedly injured the girl while performing wrestling moves at their Terrytown apartment, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune said.
He told investigators his sister told him he was hurting her, but he continued to slam, punch and elbow her. 

Devalon said his sister had complained about a stomachache after he performed wrestling moves on her. 

He called 911 a short time later after his sister stopped breathing, The Times-Picayune said. 

She was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Although she had no outward signs of injury, an autopsy revealed the girl died from severe blunt force trauma, The Times-Picayune reported.
Officials obtained a warrant and took Devalon into custody.
He was charged with second-degree murder and is being held at a juvenile detention facility.

Disabled woman and child kept as slaves!


Three Ohio residents face federal charges for allegedly holding a disabled woman and her child captive for more than two years, the US Department of Justice says. 



They had allegedly threatened her with large snakes and forced her to sleep in a room where an iguana roamed freely to intimidate her and prevent her from escaping.
The mother was beaten, threatened with a gun and forced to do manual labour, the department said on Tuesday. She and her daughter were denied food and threatened with pit bulls in addition to the reptiles, according to the affidavit outlining the charges. 

Two men and a woman, Jordie Callahan, 26; Jessica Hunt, 31; and Daniel Brown, 33 were charged with forced labour. Callahan is charged with an additional count of tampering with a witness. 


Ashland Chief of Police David Marcelli said the case was uncovered after the woman was arrested for shoplifting a chocolate bar and asked to be taken to jail because her roommates "were mean to her". 

"The officer who took that complaint detected that there were other issues aside from the shoplifting," Marcelli said on CNN.

Steve Dettelbach, US attorney for the northern district of Ohio, said the case "modern-day slavery". 

According to the affidavit, the snakes included a poisonous coral snake, a ball python and a Burmese python that weighed 60kg.

She was badly beaten allegedly on three occasions so that her captors could send her to hospital for treatment, and then take her pain medication - the prescription drug Vicodin - for themselves. 

Callahan and Hunt recruited the woman, who is identified in the affidavit only by the initials SE, and her child to live with them in their apartment in Ashland, about 120 kilometres south of Cleveland. 

They forced the woman, described in the affidavit as cognitively disabled, to clean the house, do laundry, and walk to the store to do their shopping, and care for their numerous pit bulls and reptiles. 

Hunt also is accused of taking the woman's monthly public assistance payments. The woman was made to stay with repeated threats that her daughter - who is now five or six - would be harmed or taken away from her if she didn't do as she was told, prosecutors said. 

They were repeatedly beaten, threatened with the pit bulls and the snakes, and watched with a baby monitor to make sure the woman wouldn't untie her daughter's bound hands or sneak some food or water to the girl.
They also shaved her head into a mohawk and wrote "slut", "whore" and other derogatory words on her face and chest with a permanent marker at one point, charging papers said. 

The girl was often kept bound and locked in a room and wouldn't be let out to use the bathroom until her mother was finished with housework.
The roommates withheld food from their captives as another means of intimidation, giving them only canned goods or what was left over after Callahan, Hunt and Hunt's four children finished eating. 

She told police she would regularly have to wait until 8pm until she was permitted to give her daughter anything to eat.
When she complained that her child hadn't eaten all day, Callahan got a plate of food and gave it to a dog out of spite, prosecutors said. 

The woman was given fruit and vegetables to feed the iguana, but told her child couldn't eat any of the fresh food in the house.
A number of witnesses - including one currently in jail - corroborated the disabled woman's story, charging papers showed. 

One witness described seeing Callahan drag the woman down the stairs by her hair and hold her face down in a mess made by one of the dogs. 

Another witness told investigators that when she asked why the woman and her daughter were always in a stifling hot room, Hunt told her "because they're gross". 

The mother of one of the suspects, identified only as Becky, said none of the charges was true. In an interview on CNN, she said the alleged victim was not forced to work and abused her child. Her son and the others had been accused by local law enforcement officials who wanted to "make a big case", she said.

Kate Middleton’s Look-Alike Has Us Looking Twice!




Kate Middleton is arguably one of the most recognizable women in the world. So what do you do when you bear a striking resemblance to the gorgeous royal? Find a way to turn it into a buck!


Gabriella Munro-Douglas
 That's just what Windsor-born Gabriella Munro-Douglas did, and now she's bringing home the bacon! In an interview with the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old Kate look-alike revealed that she makes a whopping $1,500 per appearance posing as Prince William's wife! 

But being the duchess's doppelganger can be scary at times, as tourists who mistake her for Kate follow her around in droves. Gabriella explained, "Getting mobbed is quite bizarre and is like a snapshot of being a celebrity. In a few minutes I go from being my normal self to putting my dress on and people following me around. When they start to crowd around it can be intimidating."

But this side gig is a far cry from Gabriella's 9-to-5 job as a furniture designer and buyer. Her spare time is all about looking like Kate, which she will do for as long as she can. She said, "I thought it would last a year after the wedding, but she is becoming more popular which will continue with the royal baby too. Maybe in 20 years I will still be doing it. But it depends on my appearance and if I age at the same rate. It is not a bad thing looking like her though. It could be worse."

 

And Gabriella isn't the only Kate "twin"! Heidi Agan has been impersonating the duchess professionally since May 2012, when customers at the restaurant she worked at kept telling her she looked like Kate.
