A 19-year-old nurse from Loganville, Georgia was slapped with a felony for twerking on a disabled man’s head.

Lucrecia K. Koiyan uploaded TikTok videos that showed her inappropriately twerking on top of mentally disabled men at an assisted living facility.

“When I watched it, disgusted is the only word I know,” Loganville Police Chief Dick Lowry told WSB-TV.

“He is disabled and then making the video and posting it to social media for your own benefit is the exploitation of that person,” Lowry said.

Detectives armed with a warrant arrested Koiyan on Tuesday morning at her Loganville home.

“She was brought to the police department, went through the booking process and booked at the Walton County Jail,” Lowry said.

The Loganville Police Department released a mugshot that shows Koiyan smirking at the camera.

Last week, Koiyan uploaded TikTok videos that showed her twerking on top of at least 3 people.

In another video, Koiyan sparked outrage when she provocatively danced on the handles of a patient’s wheelchair while he seemed disoriented.

She responded to the backlash by arguing that the man didn’t complain.

“It’s not what it looks like, trust and believe, angles play a part,” she said in reference to the video. “A lot of people want to comment about sexual assault, rape, all type of dumb s**t. Trust and believe, he is verbal and I got proof,” she added before showing a clip of the same man talking.

“He looks very aware and comfortable to me so y’all need to stop jumping to conclusions. I do see how it looks but trust me it’s not that,” she said.

Koiyan faces one felony charge for the exploitation of a disabled person.

A Florida man who was arrested for making violent threats against President Trump is a popular drag queen and friend of Casey Anthony.

Shannon Depararro Atkins — a k a “Big Momma” — is friends with Anthony – the infamous Florida mom who was charged with killing her daughter, Caylee Anthony, in 2008.

Atkins, a 46-year-old bakery owner, was arrested Friday after a tip to the FBI threat center.

Atkins was arrested during a traffic stop in West Palm Beach. Agents found three baggies of cocaine in his pocket.

He faces one count of threatening to murder, and a second-degree felony charge for making written or electronic threats. He was also charged with felony cocaine possession.

Prior to his arrest, Atkins complained that he was banned on X (Twitter) for threatening Trump.

“I’ve been banned from ‘X’, because I said I hope and pray someone kills him,” Atkins wrote in reference to Trump. “History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years,” he added.

In another post dated Jan. 14, he wrote, “Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America”. He also posted a meme of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump. The meme read: “All Stood Up to Democrats. All Were Shot.”

Atkins captioned the post: “Unfortunately one is still alive.”

Atkins is known in the South Florida area as the owner of “Big Mama’s House of Sweets,” a bakery that specializes in cheesecakes. As part of his business, he dressed up as the drag persona “Big Momma” at brunches and other social events in the Palm Beach area.

Atkins and Casey Anthony regularly posted pictures of each other on their now-scrubbed social media accounts, the New York Post reported.

“Yes, they are friends,” a friend of Anthony’s confirmed. “She always said that he was really funny and she liked to hang around him because he made her laugh so much. She doesn’t like Trump either, but I don’t think their friendship is based on that. I think they just have similar senses of humor,” the source added.

Atkins is being held without bond and the Secret Service will determine if he faces federal charges.

Trump Allegedly Urged U.S. State Department to Downplay Black History Month

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

President Donald Trump reportedly urged the U.S. State Department to downplay Black History Month which begins on Saturday, Feb. 1.

After being sworn-in as the nation’s 47th president on Jan. 20, Trump signed executive orders that appear to be discriminatory.

Trump raised eyebrows when he revoked a 60-year-old executive order that banned race and gender discrimination in government.

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

Another Trump executive order rolled back protections for transgender individuals. The order clarified that the U.S. government only recognizes 2 genders: male and female.

Trump’s executive order that banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies is causing confusion regarding Black History Month.

State Department officials sought guidance on whether they should celebrate Black History Month.

According to theGrio, State Department officials were told to “maintain the spirit of the directive eliminating DEI programs.”

The Wall Street Journal quotes a State Department official who said their interpretation of the guidance meant there would be “no public-facing messages or events about Black History Month.”

The official told the WSJ, “That’s how we’re reading it… The diplomats I spoke to today, with decades of experience, couldn’t remember a time we failed” to observe Black History Month.

The guidance advised that there would be “no restrictions” on content or programming related to accessibility or people with disabilities, the WSJ reports.

President Gerald Ford first observed Black History Month in 1976. Since then, every sitting president has recognized Black History Month.

The annual observation of February as Black History Month dates back to 1926, when it was known as Negro History Week.

Sunny Hostin’s Marriage to Dr. Emmanuel Hostin is On the Rocks

Sunny Hostin’s marriage to Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin is on the rocks, according to Radar Online. Sunny and Emmanuel’s marriage went south after he was hit with a federal insurance fraud lawsuit in New York recently.

The lawsuit alleges that the doctor “knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries” that were unnecessary.

The suit alleged that Dr. Hostin saw 2 car accident patients who had minor “soft tissue injuries.” But Dr. Hostin allegedly filed claims for arthroscopic surgery for both patients who did not have joint injuries.

Additionally the doctor is accused of billing American Transit “in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions,” according to the suit.

But the Hostins’ lawyer Mark Geragos hit back in a letter, accusing the company of “unscrupulous tactics,” and warned that “Dr. Hostin and his family will not be intimidated.”

RadarOnline.com can reveal Sunny is “furious and demanding answers from her husband. No one would be surprised if she kicks him to the curb if the case doesn’t turn out the way she wants,” the source said.

According to the insider, Sunny, 56, is terrified of what the lawsuit may do to her carefully crafted public image and career.

“Sunny used to brag she had it so good: the perfect family, a loving husband, and a luxurious lifestyle that her job on The View and his practice afforded, but this scandal has knocked Sunny off her stride,” an insider said.

“She may have some explaining to do to the ladies on The View, and they might be catty enough to bring it up on the show,” the insider added.

Sunny, who is a former prosecutor, has not mentioned the lawsuit at all on The View – even while recently bragging about her “helpful” husband.

The insider said that shows how “insecure and worried” Sunny really is. “All she’s doing is burying her head in the sand.”

Sunny and Emmanuel share kids Gabriel, 22, and Paloma, 18.

First Lady Melania Trump is closer to getting her first American Vogue magazine cover. Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour plans to offer Mrs. Trump her first cover and fashion layout in the iconic magazine.

The fashion world is also considering embracing the first lady after they snubbed Melania during Trump’s first term in office.

Melania Trump unveiled her official White House portrait in a tweet on Monday.

Styled by Hervé Pierre, Melania posed behind a desk in the residence’s Yellow Oval Room. She wore a black Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit with a white button down shirt. Behind her, the Washington Monument could be seen in the window.

Belgian photographer Régine Mahaux snapped the photo on Jan. 21, the day after Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.

The portrait shocked social media followers who aren’t used to seeing first ladies in B&W official White House photos.

The majority of her followers had nothing but praise for the photo. Some followers noted that Melania took a photo similar to President Trump’s Oval Office photo.

Read some of the comments below:

“Class, grace, and elegance personified!”

“Melania Trump is the most beautiful First Lady ever.”

“Simply BEAUTIFUL- and captures the elegance, professionalism, and grace of our @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP.”

“My new screen saver.”

“Powerful portrait and very fitting for the strongest family in the free world.”

Politician threatens to deport Selena Gomez after she posts tearful video

Selena Gomez has responded to a politician who threatened to deport her after she posted a video sympathizing with Mexican immigrants.

Gomez was born in Texas, but her father and grandparents are from Mexico. That means she is an anchor baby and she can lose her birthright citizenship and be deported.

An anchor baby is a child born to immigrant or noncitizen parents in another country that grants automatic birthright citizenship.

Thousands of undocumented immigrants have been deported after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week.

On Monday, Gomez, 32, posted – then quickly deleted – an emotional video about the deportations.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked,” the Emilia Pérez star cried in the now-deleted Instagram video. “The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry I wish I could do something but I can’t.”

“I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she continued. She captioned her video, “I’m sorry” with a Mexican flag emoji.

MEGA/WENN

Gomez’s fans downloaded the video before she deleted it and the clip went viral on Monday.

One politician who saw the video was U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker. He called for Trump’s border czar to deport the singer/actress back to Mexico.

WENN.com

According to Time magazine, Gomez produced a documentary in 2019 that detailed her paternal grandparents crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S.

Parker referenced the documentary in his X (Twitter) post, which he captioned: “Selena Gomez picked illegals over America b/c she’s the 3rd gen descendent of Mexican illegals who received citizenship in the ’87 Amnesty. She has an entitlement attitude toward America, like her illegal g’parents. Maybe Selena should be deported, too?”

He added: “Deport Selena Gomez.”

Gomez hit back at Parker in an Instagram post. “Oh Mr Parker, Mr Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat,” she said.

On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order revoking birthright citizenship. That means anchor babies like Gomez are at risk of deportation.

However, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.

NBA Star Anthony Edwards’ DNA Test Result Revealed in Court Battle With Ex Ayesha Howard

In November, NBA star Anthony Edwards impressed his female fans by filing for paternity of a baby girl he fathered with an ex-girlfriend.

The Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard fathered the baby girl with Instagram influencer Ayesha Howard. She announced her daughter’s birth on Instagram in a post dated Oct. 22.

Ayesha didn’t have to file for a paternity test, because Anthony rushed to the courthouse before she could get there.

Ayesha claims that genetic testing to confirm paternity was conducted by consent of both parties “and paternity was established on or about December 23, 2024.”

Anthony filed a paternity suit against Ayesha and offered to pay child support in September — before the child was born.

Like most high-value men, Anthony is well aware that their children’s mothers tend to use the family courts system against them.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Ayesha asked a judge to dismiss the paternity suit brought by Anthony, 23.

Ayesha said her daughter was born in Santa Monica, California, and she has lived in the state ever since. She said the case should not be heard before a Georgia judge.

In her motion to dismiss the paternity suit, Ayesha told the court that Georgia does not have jurisdiction over her because she moved to California in August 2023. The Instagram model said she has no plans to move back to Georgia.

She said neither parent has ties to Georgia and therefore the case should be heard in California where the courts are more favorable to mothers.

Ayesha claims that Anthony’s lawyers know that Georgia judges are more favorable to men. The average child support payment in Georgia is around $2,000 a month – regardless of the father’s income.

In her filing, Ayesha said Anthony demonstrated a “bad faith approach” in the case by attempting to engage in “forum-shopping”. She claims he disregards the “fundamental principles of jurisdiction, due process and fairness.”

However, Anthony’s lawyer dismissed Ayesha’s claims that his client filed in Georgia to keep his child support payments low.

The lawyer said Anthony is a good father who only wants what’s best for his children.

The attorney said Georgia was the proper venue for the case to be filed. He said Ayesha’s business was registered in Georgia and her LLC license shows as being current in the state.

Therefore she has established jurisdiction in Georgia even if she lives in another state.

In addition to her daughter, Ayesha shares a young son named Jason with rapper Lil Baby.

The NBA star is the proud father of 4 children, including a daughter with his current girlfriend, Shannon, pictured together at the Paris Olympics. They first went public as a couple in 2020.

Shannon also shares a son named Krue with Chicago drill rapper Chief Keef. Both Chief Keef and Lil Baby are among Anthony’s favorite rappers. He also listens to rappers Drake, Kodak Black and Kendrick Lamar.

Shannon doesn’t seem to mind sharing her man with multiple baby mamas. She attends all of Anthony’s home games where she sits courtside with her daughter. She posted an Instagram slideshow of photos taken at a recent NBA game.

Update: Rihanna plans to attend A$AP Rocky trial on Wednesday (Video)

Update: TMZ has confirmed pop star Rihanna will attend A$AP Rocky‘s criminal trial in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Jan. 29.

The news comes after the frustrated rapper was seen shoving paparazzi outside the courthouse last week.

One photographer was overheard asking Rocky, “What’s up, felon?”

Rihanna is a global superstar, which means security will be much tighter around the courthouse on Wednesday.

Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina hopes Rihanna’s presence in the courtroom will sway the jury to acquit her man.

Rocky is accused of firing a 9mm handgun at fellow rapper A$AP Relli during a street fight outside a Hollywood hotel in 2021.

Surveillance video shows Rocky pointing a gun at Relli and firing twice. Relli says a bullet grazed his knuckle.

Tacopina admitted his client was at the scene and that he fired a gun twice. However, he said Rocky’s gun was a “prop gun” that the rapper carried for security reasons.

A$AP Relli turned over 2 shell casings to police after the shooting. Ballistics tests determined the shells were likely fired from a loaded 9mm handgun found during a search of Rocky’s Los Angeles home.

Tacopina complained that the prosecutor’s office withheld the ballistics evidence from the defense.

Tacopina asked the judge to delay the trial until his team could review the evidence. “There’s no way we can proceed with this case,” the lawyer said.

However, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Mark S. Arnold refused to delay the trial. Judge Arnold offered to take Monday off while the defense seeks their own ballistics expert to analyze the shell casings.

The state is expected to rest its case in two weeks.

MediaPunch / BACKGRID

Rihanna and Rocky share 2 sons, RZA and Riot Rose. She was a part of the jury selection process when potential jurors were asked if they listened to her music. Many prospective jurors said they were Rihanna fans. They were dismissed from the jury pool.

12 non-Black jurors were selected from a jury pool of 106 people.

Rocky rejected a prosecutor’s plea deal offer to serve 180 days in prison and seven years probation. He faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted on 2 felony assault charge.

Obese rapper sues Lyft ride-share company after a driver denied service

A morbidly obese Detroit rapper named Dank Demoss sued Lyft ride-share company after one of its drivers denied service.

The driver reportedly told Demoss she was “too big” to fit inside his Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Demoss filed a lawsuit a week after the Lyft driver told her she couldn’t fit in the backseat of his car. “I got no space. My car is small,” the driver told her.

“I can fit in this car,” she told the driver. “How do you know I don’t have no space?”

When Dank Demoss insisted she could fit in the backseat, the driver replied, “Believe me, you can’t… Order a bigger car, please.”

The driver added, “I had a situation before where someone big couldn’t fit on the seat.”

After Demoss shared a TikTok video of the incident, Lyft responded and apologized for the driver’s “unacceptable behavior.”

Lyft

The rapper’s lawyers claim weight discrimination is illegal in Michigan. They are seeking damages for her emotional distress.

Lyft has settled multiple lawsuits in recent years. But legal experts say Dank Demoss may not have a leg to stand on.

Drivers are not Lyft employees, they are independent contractors driving their private vehicles. They can refuse service within reason, according to Ride Guru.

Social media users were unsupportive of her plight. Many X users left cruel comments mocking her weight. Others said Lyft should not have apologized because it proved wrongdoing on the driver’s part.

Jeannie Mai called Atlanta police after a house manager for her ex-husband, Jeezy, refused to let her enter his Atlanta area home.

According to In Touch, Jeannie showed up to Jeezy’s home to collect boxes of personal items that he left for her in his garage.

Jeannie was forced to call 911 after she was refused entry to make sure she wasn’t leaving anything, In Touch reports exclusively.

In the 911 call, Jeannie sounded calm when she asked the dispatcher to send police to the house. She explained that she had a court order to enter the home.

Jeannie said she was on the property with her security and moving men. She claimed a house manager was not letting them in.

“I’m going through a divorce right now.” Jeannie said, “I’m here now and the owner isn’t permitting me in.”

Jeannie then confirmed that the owner (Jeezy) was not at the house.

In her motion, Jeannie’s lawyer wrote, “When the police officer informed the house manager that a court order was, in fact, being violated, the house manager then had to shift gears and create a new barrier to entry.”

Jeannie’s lawyer continued, “Next, the house manager, at the direction of [Jeezy], refused to allow anyone on behalf of [Jeannie] to enter the home unless they signed a nondisclosure agreement. To note, there is nothing in the court order that states any language regarding a nondisclosure agreement.”

Jeezy and Jeannie once shared the home with their daughter and her parents and brother. But the couple drifted apart due to cultural differences. A judge signed off on their bitter divorce in November 2024.

The judge ruled that Jeannie could pick up her personal belongings from the rapper’s house within 21 days.

But Jeezy asked the court to modify the order because he didn’t want Jeannie roaming around inside his home.

Jeezy placed Jeannie’s property, including her Emmy Award and other personal items in boxes that he left in the garage for her to pick up.

Jeannie’s attorney said the boxes were wet and her property inside the boxes were damaged.

“The boxes were wet, with water having soaked through the boxes, damaging personal items. There were mouse traps set in the garage, presumably set for mice which had eaten through some of the boxes,” Jeannie’s lawyer wrote.

“Many of [Jeannie’s] awards were broken and scratched,” the lawyer explained.

Jeezy’s lawyer said his client had “legitimate concerns about Jeannie being able to walk through the whole house.”

MEGA

Jeezy is still upset that Jeannie accused him of walking around his own house with an assault rifle, and that he put their daughter in danger.

“[Jeezy] does not feel safe having [Jeannie] in his home. Given [Jeannie’s] history of attempting to destroy his career with misleading information, [Jeezy] would have no way of knowing if she is planting listening devices or cameras in his home,” his lawyer said.

“[Jeannie] is angry about the parties’ divorce and she is revengeful. In addition, the mere presence of [Jeannie] inside [Jeezy’s] home and personal space, after the highly contested nature of the divorce case, would absolutely destroy [Jeezy’s] peace and tranquility, as well as invade his privacy,” his lawyer added.
