Kim Kardashian Settles Libel Lawsuit Against Media Take Out

Kim Kardashian

Reality star, Kim Kardashian, has dropped her lawsuit against gossip website, Media Take Out, after they agreed to issue a public apology, over claims the armed burglary involving her, which occurred at a rented apartment (flat) in Paris, France, was staged and an insurance scam. Kardashian was reportedly robbed of $11,000,000 in jewelry. Kardashian has since filed an insurance claim.

In a released statement, Media Take Out wrote like a gun was pointed at them "MediaTakeOut regrettably published a series of false stories about Kim Kardashian West suggesting she faked the robbery in Paris, lied to authorities and then filed a $5.6 million fraudulent insurance claim for her stolen jewelry. MediaTakeOut knows that Mrs. Kardashian West was in fact robbed in Paris. We have permanently removed from our website any and all posts that suggested she staged the robbery, lied about it to the French police and committed an insurance crime. We sincerely apologize to Mrs. Kardashian West and her family for the false stories we published and regret suggesting that what happened to her in Paris was anything less than horrific. We are pleased that this matter has been resolved to satisfaction of all the parties." 

It's not going to change public opinion, as many still believe the robbery was staged and that is not due to what Media Take Out wrote. The minute news of the alleged robbery hit social networking, many wrote items indicating they are of the belief the theft was staged. Some comments on social networking even blamed Kardashian's husband, rapper Kanye West, stating he is in financial straits and did it for the jewels and insurance money (West was begging Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg for $50,000,000 and spoke of his financial woes on Twitter).

Mainstream entertainment news programs had security experts weighing in on the alleged theft, with one wondering out loud how Kardashian was able to free herself from the zipties used to bind her hands together, stating it is virtually impossible. Therefore, skepticism has been rampant. Peopel don't believe Kardashian, who lives just about every minute of her life on camera, in acts orchestrated by her exploitative, money hungry mom, Kris Jenner.

If Disney Is Sued By The Family Of 2-Year-Old Alligator Victim Lane Graves They Need To Settle And Here’s Why

Melissa Graves and Lane Graves
 

2-year-old Lane Graves was killed in an alligator attack at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, after he was snatched at the edge of the manmade Seven Seas Lagoon, while wading in water that reached his ankles. Lane’s father fought to free him from the ferocious gator, but was unable to do so, due to the sheer strength of the animal. Lane’s mother also jumped into the water trying to free her son.

Many are speculating the family will sue. It would be completely understandable, as they have suffered a horrific trauma due to Disney’s negligence in encouraging tourists to use a fake beach bordering an artificial lagoon they knew had become infested with alligators. Disney placed a “no swimming” sign on the fake beach, but it stated nothing about alligators.

Lane was not swimming in the water, in violation of the sign. He was standing in ankle deep water, just like people in the Disney ad for the hotel. If Disney had an alligator warning sign in the area people would not have used the fake beach bordering the artificial pond. Tourists from out of state (the Graves are from Nebraska) and the international community do not know to beware of gators in the state of Florida, but locals do. It is generally not something tourists are told, as it is not very glamorous. 

Others have since come forward revealing they were on the shore at the Seven Seas Lagoon and confronted by aggressive alligators who charged at them. Guests told Disney of the problem, but their concerns were brushed off as insignificant. The mere fact Disney knew and failed to take the proper measures to protect guests and it resulted in Lane’s death, says they are liable.

Some lawyers do not have the best strategy. They let their egos get the best of them, stating they can beat and win any case. However, some cases aren’t worth winning, as the cost to your name and that of your client results in irreparable damage and public hatred. Not to mention the damage it does to the Judiciary’s name. 

Disney needs to settle with the Graves if they sue, as it is the right thing to do under what must be unimaginably horrible circumstances for the family. Disney and their lawyers also need to watch what they say about the case, lest the public pounces on them.

I’ve seen a few arrogant lawyers decide to take the gloves off with victims in lawsuits only for it to destroy their clients’ businesses and cause other potential clients to run from them. 

There is no question Disney is at fault - from the bad advertising showing guests in the water to numerous reports of guests complaining to staff about the alligators, the evidence does not look good. And make no mistake, if the public catches Disney in a dogfight with the Graves family in court, they will take a massive financial hit from locals and tourists turning on the resort.

Lee Daniels Settles Defamation Lawsuit Filed By Sean Penn Over Madonna's Lies

Sean Penn and ex-wife Madonna, who claimed he used to beat her with a bat, yet she keeps smiling and taking photos with him
 

Lee Daniels slammed actor Sean Penn in a Hollywood Reporter interview last year, labeling him a "wife beater." Daniels made these claims due to lies Penn's mentally deranged ex-wife Madonna told and circulated in the industry for years. Madonna claimed Penn beat her with a bat. However, Madonna is a pathological liar and a kleptomaniac. She is not to be believed. Daniels publicly rehashing the rumors Madonna spread, resulted in Penn filing a $10,000,000 defamation lawsuit against him last year.

 

Lee Daniels
 

Daniels made the statements in the interview in trying to excuse allegations of domestic violence against Terrence Howard, the star of his copyright infringing, failing show Madonna illegally sold him at cut rate prices in a dirty business deal "Empire." Slamming Penn was a means of kissing up to Madonna. However, the show "Empire" has been on a massive ratings slide over the past few months under a site boycott. 

"Empire"

Daniels has now settled the lawsuit, donated money to Penn's Haiti charity and issued a groveling publicly apology stating, "I am sorry that I have hurt you Sean, and I apologize and retract my reckless statements about you." Daniels is known in the entertainment industry as a mean spirited, evil, vicious man that abuses his post as producer to damage the careers of those he deems enemies. Stars such as Mo'Nique have spoken out against him. Others in the industry have made complaints against him as well. Daniels is a nasty piece of work and a complete fake.

Lee Daniels Settles Sean Penn Defamation Suit, Writes Apology Letter: 'I Am So Sorry I Have Hurt You Sean'
 

05/04/2016 AT 04:35 PM EDT - Sean Penn has settled his defamation lawsuit against Lee Daniels, who wrote a public letter of apology to the actor after accusing him of hitting women last year. "I am so sorry that I have hurt you, Sean, and I apologize and retract my reckless statements about you. 

How thoughtless of me. You are someone I consider a friend, a brilliant actor and true Hollywood legend and humanitarian," Daniels wrote in a joint statement with Penn obtained by PEOPLE. Along with the apology, Daniels made a donation to Penn's J/P Haitian Relief Organization... 

Penn filed the complaint against Daniels last September after the Empire co-creator compared the actor to his show's star Terrence Howard, who admitted to hitting his first wife. "That poor boy," Daniels said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "[Terrence] ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some f------ demon. That's a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America."

Erin Andrews Settles Hotel Peeping Tom Lawsuit With Marriott Hotels

Erin Andrews in court recounting the terrible ordeal

 

A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit filed by sports analyst, Erin Andrews, filed against the Marriott Hotel, after poor security led to a stalker invading her privacy. Stalker, Michael Barrett, was able to obtain Andrews' suite number from a Marriott Hotel staff member and booked a room right next to it. This enabled him to watch her movements and hack off the hotel room peephole, placing his mobile phone camera up to it and film her naked in the suite, while she was getting ready to make television appearances. Barrett caused Andrews tremendous emotional and mental trauma by uploading the secretly made video from the peephole, to the internet, where millions watched Andrews naked in her hotel room, without her permission.

Michael Barrett

 

The Marriott Hotel has settled with Andrews for an undisclosed sum of money, after jurors threw the book at them for their poor security practices. Jurors informed the media they were very dismayed by the case and want greater assurances their privacy will be protected in places such as hotels. Contrary to what a handful of crazy people like to think, particularly in Hollywood, the world is not headed in the direction that it is permissible or appropriate to spy on people in their homes, hotels and public toilets, to satisfy someone's sick sexual urges, in behavior psychiatrists denounce as the mentally ill sexual disorder known as voyeurism. It is depravity of the highest order associated with sexual predators and pedophiles.

Black Couple Horrified As The Words 'Poor Nig*er Party' Stamped On Their Wedding Pics In Texas By Racist Photography Company

 

Exhibit in lawsuit reveals photography company labeled photos "Poor Nig*er Party"

Premier Photography of Texas, owned by James Evans, have been sued by a black couple who state their wedding pictures have the words 'Poor Nig*er Party" stamped on them. The couple retained Evans to take pictures of their wedding and he delivered the finished product with an insulting racial slur stamped on all of them.

The couple's attorney, Cathy Hale stated of the incident, "They trusted this company to provide them with a service on their most important day and what they got was the complete opposite they got a slap in the face. Every time they think about their anniversary, they think about this. It’s never going to go away." The case has now been settled, after Evans defiantly challenged the couple to sue over his inappropriate and racist behavior, which led to him being slapped with a lawsuit.

Married Couple Sues After “Poor N***** Party” Stamped on Wedding Pics

By Gotham City, Esq on April 3, 2015 The Accused - When guests at a wedding in Houston, Texas sat in a photo both for some wedding fun and memorabilia, little did they know their pictures would say “Poor N***** Party.” The African American newly weds, who rented the photo both to commemorate their union, are suing Premier Photography owned by James Evans claiming he and his company are responsible for the racist photo caption on some of the guests’ printed pictures. It was supposed to say the couple’s first names and date. 

“Anybody would find this caption offensive. I’m offended by it. I don’t want to say it,” said Attorney Cathy Hale. Hale represents the couple who have sued Evans and Premier Photography claiming not only breach of contract — for a memory stick of photos they say they never received — but also for negligence and mental anguish...

Settlement reached in lawsuit over racial slur found on wedding photo

Posted: 9:15 PM, April 02, 2015 - HOUSTON - A settlement has been reached in lawsuit involving a racial slur found printed on photos taken during a 2012 wedding reception. A Houston area couple filed the lawsuit in 2014 against Premier Photography and its owner, James Evans. Documents filed in the lawsuit read the couple rented a booth from Premiere and paid for an attendant. The couple, who are African-American, claim at some point during the reception some guests received photos from the booth with the words, "Poor (n-Word) Party," printed on the bottom. 

Attorney Cathy Hale said the bride's sister received one of those photos but chose not to tell the couple for fear of ruining their wedding day. Hale said the couple learned of the photos several months later. Hale said the couple filed the lawsuit after contacting Evans and receiving what she characterized as a non-apologetic response. Court records read at one point Evans did offer to refund the couple the $450 cost of the photo booth rental, but they declined. A settlement in the suit was reached Thursday and both sides released written statements. 

"We regret this issue escalated into litigation as a result of poor communication between the parties at the time the caption was discovered," wrote Hale. "My clients accept Mr. Evans' and Premier Photography's statement that he and Premier Photography reject the inappropriate caption printed on the strips and what they represent."

Giant retailer Walmart has settled a lawsuit filed by comedian Tracy Morgan, after one of their company's drivers slammed a large truck into the entertainer's van on a New Jersey road. As stated on the Judiciary Report last year, a settlement is the prudent course of action in this case (Tracy Morgan Responds To The Outrageous Claims Of Walmart's Attorneys Who Blame Him For His Injuries In Fatal Crash). It is the right thing to do in light of what transpired.

Walmart released a statement about the settlement, "Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone that was involved in the accident. While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what's right to help ensure the well-being of all of those who were impacted by the accident." Morgan also released a statement on the settlement, "Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably."

Singers, Take Care Of Your Voices - Part II

Julie Andrews

This is a follow up to the Judiciary Report article "Singers, Take Care Of Your Voices." Legendary award winning singer/actress, Julie Andrews, famous for the 1965 classic musical film "The Sound Of Music" became a household name for her golden voice and compelling acting abilities. The soprano began to experience vocal trouble for which she sought medical treatment.

 

"The Sound Of Music"

When basic treatment options did not correct the problem, in 1997 Andrews underwent surgery at Mount Sinai in New York, with the hope of halting the damage to her voice. However, Andrews contends the surgery destroyed her already damaged voice. Andrews sued and the case was settled out of court.

Mariah Carey's vocal cords have been repeatedly bleeding at regular intervals for two decades, due to releasing many albums back to back in her favored melismatic style, with little and sometimes no rest between projects. Coupled with drug and alcohol use, Carey's voice is damaged.

Soprano singers such as Mariah Carey belt out notes full throttle to impress audiences and critics, which creates vocal cord damage. Over time it begins to deplete the voice (as does alcoholism and drug use - two other issues Carey struggles with). Doctors have done examinations of singers' throats after such vocally taxing sessions and performances, only to find bleeding vocal cords. If left untreated, over time it leads to permanent damage and the loss of vocal ability (especially upper octave notes).

Damaged, bleeding vocal cords from excessive belting and abrupt vocal changes while singing

Athletes don't perform at sporting event after sporting event with injuries, as they will become permanent if left untreated and not given the chance to heal. Neither should singers sing day after day with damaged vocal cords. The voice needs rest to repair itself as best it can. Illegal drugs and hard liquor should also be avoided. Singers need to evaluate their studio practices and performances very carefully to determine if they are damaging their voices. At the end of the day, your voice is irreplaceable. It is your stock in trade. Take care of it and make wise decisions that will allow your voice to last as long as possible.

Sam Smith Settles With Tom Petty Over Stealing His Song For 'Stay With Me'

Captiol Records recording artist Sam Smith has been hit with a copyright infringement claim by legendary singer and musician, Tom Petty. Petty is famous for songs such as "Free Fallin" and "You Don't Know How It Feels." Petty sued 22-year-old newcomer Smith over the 2014 song "Stay With Me." The song bears a striking resemblance to Petty's preexisting copyrighted song "I Won't Back Down" which was released in 1989. Smith has settled out of court, paying a financial settlement, issuing a 12.5% cut of royalties and a songwriting credit to Petty and his co-writer Jeff Lynne.

Smith has been nominated for six Grammys for a song that is stolen. The Grammys have become infamous for giving out the coveted statute to thieving artists such as Madonna, Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna and Coldplay, completely devaluing the award. The award isn't worth anything anymore. It's an absolute disgrace and destined for trouble. Something socially and financially negative is already coming out of all this stealing, as U.S. music sales are at an all time low.

Awards need to be rescinded and people forced to give back trophies for having the gall to collect prizes for intellectual property they criminally stole from others. It's is utterly shameful and a black mark on society sending the nasty message, you don't have to work hard in life, just steal. Artists such as Madonna, Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna and Coldplay, who are all in Kabbalah, are modern day Milli Vanillis, but worse. Milli Vanilli didn't steal from anyone.

Singer Chris Brown Settles Assault Lawsuits Against Him Confirming Previous Site Claims

 

Chris Brown looking happier than he has been in a while, as he got his life back

R&B singer Chris Brown has settled two assault cases against him. The first case brought by Frank Ocean's cousin, whom witnesses stated started the fight with Brown, was settled for the small sum of $20,000, when he originally demanded $3,000,000. That's less than the $25,000 gold iPhone Brown recently purchased.

The second case, filed by Parker Adams in connection with the case where he got too touchy feely with the star and was blocked from entering his tour bus in Washington, DC, was settled for $100,000. Adams originally demanded $3,000,000 from Brown and his bodyguard Chris Hollosy.

 

Chris Brown and his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, pictured by his Lamborghini, have resolved their recent internet spat as well

Several months ago on March 21, 2014, the Judiciary Report was the first to report Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, was looking into settling the main assault case against his client brought by Parker Adams (Chris Brown’s Lawyer Looking Into Settling Washington Assault Case). After months of negotiations, the demand amount has been significantly reduced, making way for the settlement.

Now Brown just has to be careful of where he goes and with whom (Getting Negative Influences Out Of Your Life). Some people are looking to set him up for an undeserved payday, while others are industry rivals out for revenge. There's nothing wrong with being a homebody and laying low. Brown's life has turned around over the past few months and he needs to continue on that path.

Chris Brown I Settled 2 Assault Cases For Chump Change

Sources connected to Chris tell TMZ ... the guy who Chris punched in Washington D.C. a year ago just settled his civil lawsuit against Chris. We're told the singer anted up around $100,000.

You'll recall ... Chris dodged a major bullet with the help of his lawyer Mark Geragos by striking a plea deal in the criminal case. He avoided probation, jail and fines by pleading guilty to simple assault. As for the second case ... TMZ broke the story Chris got into an insane fight at a West Hollywood recording studio in January with Frank Ocean's posse. Frank's cousin sued Chris for $3 million. We've learned the case just settled for UNDER $20K. It's handled.

Will Floyd Mayweather Settle The Shantel Jackson Lawsuit In Exchange For Her Silence

Floyd Mayweather

The Shantel Jackson domestic violence lawsuit poses several problems for boxer, Floyd Mayweather, who is coming off a win against fellow pugilist, Marcos Maidana. Jackson's threats of telling-all about her 8-years with Mayweather, could prove very damaging to his name and career, if she begins divulging all she saw.

Shantel Jackson: Floyd needs to cut me a check

Jackson's attempts at syncing her lawsuit to create a scandal before Mayweather's fight failed to cost him the bout, as he handily routed Maidana, who took such a beating, he forgot which corner to return to after the match. However, Jackson's lawyer Allred is very good at extracting settlements for clients in exchange for their silence. The question is does Mayweather believe Jackson knows enough to really damage him.

Shantel Jackson and Floyd Mayweather

When high profile individuals get into relationships, they really should consider having their significant other sign a confidentiality agreement, because in the event things do not work out, some will betray your confidence. It's one thing to go to law enforcement with allegations of criminal activity, but divulging non-criminal and embarrassing details of someone's life for money is something altogether different.

Judge Orders Chris Brown Shackled, Chained And Placed On A Plane

Judge In Washington Assault Case Playing Hard Ball With Chris Brown 

Chris Brown

  

A judge in Washington, DC has ordered R&B singer Chris Brown shackled, chained and placed on a plane. TMZ is reporting a court order to this effect has been issued for Brown, regarding his transfer from a Los Angeles jail, where he sits on a probation violation in connection with the Rihanna domestic violence case. Brown is scheduled to stand trial next month for allegedly assaulting local man, Parker Adams. 

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, has raised an objection to the order. Geragos stated Brown can make his own arrangements to fly to Washington for the trial and needn’t be shackled and chained. Geragos seeks to have the case dismissed, stating his client did not hit Adams, who photobombed the singer and propositioned him, before trying to board his tour bus. This was trespassing. Charges should have been filed against Adams. 

Adams has also sued Brown for $2,500,000 in civil court. Settlement is an option, but anyone suing for such a large sum will seek a settlement of half the requested figure. Adams and his lawyer are operating under the premise they have Brown over a barrel and can demand an exorbitant sum of money, as the singer could face 4-years in jail if the case is successfully prosecuted.

The Chain Of Custody In The Chris Brown Probation Violation Case

Chris Brown

The public is confused regarding the chain of command in the Chris Brown probation violation case, stemming from the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence incident. Brown’s probation was violated a few weeks ago, over an alleged assault in Washington, regarding an incident that is completely questionable. 

Brown voluntarily admitted himself into rehab for anger management in Los Angeles, where he resides, with Judge James Brandlin’s approval. Brown completed 95-days in rehab. The judge was impressed and extended it by 60 additional days, which would keep Brown in treatment until the next hearing in his Washington case. However, three issues that were not of an illegal nature occurred, resulting in his arrest at the facility. Brown currently sits in jail, after being remanded into custody for a month until the next hearing in his Washington case. 

As the Judiciary Report was the first to state, Brown’s lawyer should settle the fraudulent Washington case, even though the victim stated the singer never hit him. Something strange is going on which could lead Brown spending up to 4-years in jail. The next day TMZ wrote Brown’s lawyer is looking into settling the case. 

If the Washington case is handled via settlement, it should by default dispose of the Los Angeles violations as well, as his probation was violated over what transpired in D.C. If the basis for the violation is removed from the equation, how can the rehab incident reasonably remain. Brown was not accused of breaking the law in rehab. Once again, Brown was accused of violating house rules, in conduct that was not criminal.

Chris Brown’s Lawyer Looking Into Settling Washington Assault Case (Just As This Site Previously Stated)

 

Chris Brown

On Wednesday, March 19, 2014, the Judiciary Report stated of Chris Brown’s pending assault case hearing in Washington, “Brown’s attorney may choose to settle the case, in a bid to keep him from spending 4-years in jail. Recently, rapper Kanye West settled a case where he hit a man for telling his Armenian fiancé, Kim Kardashian that she is a “ni**er lover.” That was hate speech. West should have played it smart, called the police and had the man arrested for harassment and hate speech, then sued him. Instead West hit him, then reportedly had to issue a six figure settlement to stay out of jail.” 

L.A. jail

The next day, the website TMZ wrote the same thing, stating their source is saying Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos is looking into settling the Washington assault case. It is the logical legal maneuver. While the Judiciary Report is of the belief the Washington assault case is fraudulent and the complainant doesn’t deserve a dime, as he provoked the incident via stalking, harassment and trespassing on a tour bus, which should have resulted in charges, Brown is in a strange predicament. 

L.A. jail

Brown’s probation is in jeopardy due to the case. He could face up to 4-years in jail. If he is placed in a Los Angeles jail, that could amount to 1 to 2-years of his life behind bars. If he is placed in jail in Washington, with new charges, it could amount to far more jail time. It’s not worth years of one’s life. It’s better to settle, even though the case looks fraudulent on the complainant’s end. If the case is settled, prosecutors would have difficulty proceeding. When such cases are settled, the criminal aspects usually disappear.

Chris Brown I Can Get Out of Jail For the Right Price

3/20/2014 1:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF - It sure seemed Chris Brown was checkmated -- sitting in jail as the clock ticks for his D.C. assault trial that could trigger a probation violation in the Rihanna case that could land him in prison for 4 years .... but TMZ has learned his lawyer has found a way out of the hole ... by paying LOTS OF MONEY.

Sources connected with the D.C. assault case tell TMZ ... Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, has contacted the lawyer for the man who claims Chris assaulted him in D.C., breaking his nose, and offered him a BIG FAT CHECK. We're told Geragos is gunning for a civil settlement ... which could very well mean the broken nose guy would tell prosecutors he no longer has an interest in pursuing the criminal case. And our sources say prosecutors are aware of the civil settlement negotiations. 

We're told Geragos may have already sealed the deal but if not ... it should be done in a day or 2. So here's the likely resolution. The alleged victim gets a ton of money (our educated guess is several hundred thousand dollars), D.C. prosecutors drop the criminal assault case and the Rihanna judge then lets Chris out of jail either late this week or early next. Smart move.

Rihanna’s Lawsuit Against Her Accountant Not Settled As Previously Reported In The Mainstream Press

Rihanna

Several weeks ago, a story was planted in the New York Post claiming Rihanna had settled a case she brought against her accountants. The article claimed she settled the lawsuit for $10,000,000. On February 19, 2014, the Judiciary Report called the story rubbish (The Rihanna 10000000 Accountant Settlement Story Isn’t Adding Up). As stated several weeks ago, I’ve signed settlements. Standard settlements contain non-disclosure clauses forbidding litigants from disclosing the sum they receive. To disclose it would mean the other party in the case could sue and take the money back and win financial damages on top of that. 

Today, TMZ reported Rihanna’s account has not settled the case and is legally requesting the court throw it out. Her accountant insinuated Rihanna is a foolish spendthrift (in TMZ's words a "moron") who went against his and the firm’s advice. As stated previously, the Judiciary Report agrees with the basic advice Rihanna was given by the accountant - buy a house. It is better to buy a house than rent. It is an investment.

However, Rihanna did not get a proper appraisal or inspection report done on the house and that’s not the accountant’s job. It was another of her mentor/manager, Jay-Z’s dirty business dealings. Jay-Z had his associate passed off the shoddily built, defective house to Rihanna at an inflated price, knowing of its serious flaws. That’s who she should have sued, Jay-Z and his associate. With friends like these, who needs enemies. Jay-Z has been sexually and financial exploiting Rihanna since she was a teenager.

The Judiciary Report has consistently written of Jay-Z’s dirty business practices. Several of the businesses he started by mimicking what others were doing, without actually knowing what he is doing himself, have gone under. He's also stolen businesses and run them into the ground via financial ruin. Sports leagues made rules attempting to keep him and his latest fraudulent, rip off company, Roc Nation Sports out, because they know of his poor legal standing and terrible, shady business practices. 

Jay-Z is incompetent, uneducated and unqualified to manage people's careers. He has no degree or real world knowledge of sports management. He's a superstitious charlatan with no real ideas of his own or understanding of sports management. Going to sporting events and watching sports channels does not a sports agent make. Furthermore, the numbers aren't making sense on the sports deals he is apart of, which indicates trouble is coming in another financial fiasco. If these athletes aren't careful, he is going to take their careers down with him. 

However, this is a man contacting athletes all over the world with terrible business advice, rooted in his own personal greed and self-interest, when his whole career has been based on illegal payola, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, financial fraud and strong arm tactics (i.e. stabbing a record executive, sending his bodyguards and goons to beat up business people ect). 

Besides, once Jay-Z believes he's done you a favor, he thinks he owns you for life, like you made a deal with the devil (and if there's one thing Jay-Z is, it's a devil). Once again, with friends like these, who needs enemies. Why Rihanna thought her fellow adulterer would not rip her off, when he has done so before in management contracts and associated deals, is a mystery. There is no honor among thieves.

Rihanna I Was Bankrupt Because of My Stupid Accountant

2/12/2014 1:00 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF - Rihanna says her accountant made so many boneheaded decisions that he blew her fortune and she was "effectively bankrupt" by the end of 2009. The singer claims in new legal docs she had $11 MILLION in cash at the beginning of 2009. Rihanna says the accountant was not on the ball and she was horrified to learn at the end of the year she had $2 million left. To make matters worse, her expenses doubled, which left her on a financial cliff. 

As for how Rihanna blew through $9 million in one year ... she says her accountant gave her the green light to buy a house priced between $7 and 7 1/2 million. So she took his advice. She ultimately sold the house for a $2 million LOSS. She also claims her 2009 tour -- Last Girl on Earth Tour -- was losing money but the accountant never gave her the heads up. The legal docs were filed in connection with a lawsuit Rihanna filed against her accountant, claiming gross mismanagement. BTW ... Rihanna has rebounded nicely. Her net worth is now estimated at $43 mil.

Rihanna's Ex-Accountant A Fool And Her Money Are Soon Parted Which Makes You ... 

3/20/2014 1:35 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF - The gloves are off in the fight between Rihanna and her ex-accountant -- the money man is now firing back in their legal battle over $9 million the singer claims she lost on his watch ... calling her a financially impaired moron. 

Accountant Peter Gounis filed the response to Rihanna's lawsuit, insisting he was hired to record and manage her financial accounts -- NOT give her rudimentary spending advice. Gounis claims Rihanna blew through millions of her own money by going on endless shopping sprees -- buying roomfuls of designer shoes, clothes, and jewelry -- and throwing extravagant parties for herself. He also claims she bailed on an expensive tour to shoot "Battleship," which turned out to be a massive failure. 

And despite Rihanna's accusations, Gounis insists he never directed Rihanna to buy a dilapidated house. But even ignoring all that, Gounis says, "Was it really necessary to tell her that if you spend money for things you will end up with the things, and not the money?" Gounis wants Rihanna's lawsuit thrown out.

The Rihanna $10,000,000 Accountant Settlement Story Isn’t Adding Up

Rihanna

A story is floating around the press regarding singer Rihanna being offered and accepting a $ 10,000,000 settlement from her former accountants. However, standard non-disclosure clauses forbid litigants from disclosing the settlement sum they received and most of the terms surrounding the legal agreement. Then a judge, who has the legal authority to sign off on or reject the settlement, approves the agreement. That’s how the legal system works. I’ve signed legal settlements and know others who have as well and you are not permitted to disclose the settlement figure. That’s the national standard. 

So how did the alleged $10,000,000 figure get into the papers. For Rihanna and her camp to have leaked it would mean defendant Berdon LLP could sue and get their money back, as the disclosure on her end would be a violation of the settlement terms. Furthermore, Berdon LLP would be sued by other clients for $10,000,000 believing they gave Rihanna a $10,000,000 over what was standard accounting advice. It would be an unwise and unorthodox legal move for Berdon LLP to publicize the terms of the settlement, as it would harm their company in several ways, leaving them open to liability lawsuits.

Actually, I heard the settlement offer Rihanna was given was in the mid six figures, not seven as her camp is claiming (typical Kabbalah Center member - like Madonna claiming Microsoft gave her $10,000,000 for an advertisement, which prompted Microsoft, to her shock and embarrassment, to come out and publicly state they didn’t give her anywhere near that figure). Rihanna is also the same individual who lied about her net worth during a Twitter fight with Teyana Taylor, claiming it was $90,000,000, when in actuality it is not even the $44,000,000 she is now claiming. The figure is based on approximates and over inflated tangible and intangible assets she claims she owns. 

Rihanna claims, Berdon LLP, misled her into buying a home, by stating it was a good investment. That was not bad advice. As a general rule, buying a home is a good investment. It’s better than paying rent. When you buy a home, money accumulates in equity in a property via monthly mortgage payments. However, Rihanna, who should have had the home inspected and appraised, as is the national standard, managed to buy a house with significant defects. That’s why people hire inspectors and appraisers.

Berdon LLP maintained that Rihanna and her managers overspent, dumping profits back into her career, which hit the skids after the Chris Brown domestic violence incident. Yes, Rihanna has had number one records since that time, but it was due to payola, which is alive and well. Rihanna’s music does not shift big numbers like Taylor Swift or Susan Boyle. Many dates of her arena tours were cancelled or suffered from poor ticket sales.

All Rihanna and those working with her have done from day one of her career is steal copyrights (she has lawsuits against her in court and others at pre-filing stage), after landing a record deal from having sex with Jay-Z as a 16-year-old minor (in a relationship that is ongoing and adulterous). There is no honor among thieves. So it’s no surprise, many of those same people robbed Rihanna, after she robbed others.

Dwyane Wade's Wife Attempts To Void Their Divorce In Desperate Attempt To Get Him Back

Dwyane Wade: she did what?!

Dwyane Wade's ex-wife, Siohvaughn Wade's semi-court victory, regarding a judge declining to have her mentally evaluated, has emboldened her to fire her 13th lawyer and move to have her divorce to the Miami Heat basketball star voided. It testifies to Siohvaughn's deteriorated mental state, which the site warned of regarding the judge declining to have her mentally evaluated. 

Siohvaughn Wade pretending to be homeless on a sidewalk in Chicago, Illinois, blaming it on Dwyane, who was giving her alimony payments the whole time. 

The current legal maneuver is one-sided, as Dwyane has expressed no intention of reuniting with Siohvaughn. The divorce was done, signed and settlement issued. To attempt to put those wheels in reverse, is a desperate ploy to get her husband back and it will be interpreted as antagonistic. 

This is what Siohvaughn is left with but she wants the real Dwyane Wade back

These legal maneuvers are not endearing Siohvaughn to Dwyane, who is exasperated, as it is causing him emotional distress and stress. It's understandable that she wants him back, but the divorce was already made final. It's time for Siohvaughn to let Dwyane go and move on with her life. He has moved on and so should she.

Judge Tries To Settle Chris Brown And Drake Club Brawl Lawsuits

Drake and Chris Brown

New York judge Anil Singh called for a settlement hearing in the five lawsuits filed in the Drake/Chris Brown/Rihanna bottle fight that took place at the now defunct club W.i.P. in Manhattan. Club patrons brought lawsuits regarding the fight involving rapper Drake and singer Chris Brown, in relation to the bottle brawl, seeking financial damages for the injuries they stated were sustained during the incident. Rapper Meek Mill who was also present during the incident indicated a woman started the fight, implying it was singer Rihanna, who dated both Drake and Brown.

Rihanna the troublemaker

In an effort to settle the case, which is the reasonable approach, Judge Anil Singh called for a settlement conference in his chambers this week. The New York Post reports, "Lawyers for club goers injured in the melee, including NBA star Tony Parker and French male model Romain Julien, met in a jury room with their adversaries to strike a deal for over an hour Wednesday morning before meeting with the judge." It is good that Justice Singh is attempting to settle the cases, as five lawsuits going to trial, stemming from the same incident will become a legal juggernaut.

Chris Brown Hit And Run Case Falling Apart

Chris Brown 

The hit and run case against singer Chris Brown has begun to unravel, as two of the charges have been dropped. Brown’s probation was violated by the district attorney and a judge when he rear-ended a Mercedes Benz with his Range Rover, in an accident that created no damage. However, the motorist in the Mercedes demanded his insurance information and licenses, then called police to inform them she was given bogus information. Brown denied the claim, stating he did what he was supposed to do under the circumstances.

His lawyer, Mark Geragos, has since stated the charge of driving on a invalid license was incorrect and has been dropped. Brown’s license is from the state of Virginia, where he maintains a residence, in addition to a home in Los Angles, where the accident occurred. It is clear the motorist was looking for compensation for the accident, via money, though there was no visible damage to her car, as illustrated by photographs.
