[Rest In Peace] Bobbi Kristina Brown Dead at 22!!!!


It has been confirmed by the family of Bobbi Kristina Brown that she has indeed passed away! The daughter of the late great Whitney Houston never recovered after being found unresponsive after an incident that took place at her home back in January. Still many questions surrounding how she got in such a predicament that so eerily reminds us of how her own mother died, but fingers have been pointed heavily in the direction of her boyfriend or fiance whatever he is, Nick Gordon.

E! Online reports:
"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God," the Houston family said in a statement to E! News. "We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
The only child of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston was found unconscious in a bathtub at her home on the morning of Jan. 31 and had been in a comatose state ever since.
On June 24, Pat Houston released the following statement to E! News shedding a somber light on her niece's condition:
"Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has continued to deteriorate. As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God's hands now."
The 22-year-old's passing comes a little more than three years after her mother's death. The legendary singer drowned in the bathtub in her suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel the day before the 2012 Grammys.
Tragically, Bobbi Kristina was discovered face down in the filled tub by a friend of her longtime boyfriend, Nick Gordon; Gordon is said to have immediately rushed to the room and tried to revive her with CPR while his friend called 911.
On July 15, multiple outlets reported that Gordon had been served with a $10 million lawsuit filed by Bobbi Kristina's state-appointed conservator as he left a Starbucks in Longwood, Fla.
Bobby Brown released a statement about his daughter's death via Us Weekly:
"Krissy was and is an angel. I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. Our loss is unimaginable."
That's just sad. The whole Houston legacy gone just like that. Such a tragic and senseless loss. My prayers go out to her and her family. May she rest in peace!



Disturbing News: Dekalb County Officer Kills a Naked Man Obviously Suffering From Some Form of Mental Issue!!!!


I totally have a problem with this story. Police responded to a suspicious nude unarmed male frolicking around his apartment complex. Now if that alone doesn't scream mental illness I don't know what does. The man was killed after he charged at an officer and ignored the officer's commands.

Delkab County police are investigating a deadly officer-involved shooting.

The shooting happened at an apartment complex just after 1 p.m. Monday on Chamblee Tucker Road.

Witnesses described the bizarre and unexplained moments that led to this shooting.

Channel 2 Action News has obtained exclusive video of the man who was shot. Video showed him hanging naked from a balcony and walking around before police arrived.

"He was doing weird movement. He was crawling on the floor, lying down on the floor," said one witness, who asked not to be identified

The officer was responding to reports of an unarmed and unclothed man banging on doors and crawling on the ground.

“He tells me, ‘I'm OK, I'm OK.’ That's what he was saying,” the witness said.

The witness said he told the man, identified as 27-year-old Anthony Hill, to go inside or he was going to get arrested.

"He was acting crazy but he was calm like he didn't know where he was. He was like kind of lost in his face," the witness said.

The responding officer, who is described as a seven-year veteran, confronted Hill.

Some witnesses and the chief of police say Hill was aggressive and lunged at the officer.

"When the male saw the officer, he charged, running at the officer. The officer called on him to step back, drew his weapon and fired two shots,” said DeKalb County Director of Public Safety Cedric Alexander.

Hill died at the scene. Some believe the shooting was justified while others aren't sure.

"He ran to the police. He runs wide open with the hands up," the witness said.

Hill was black and the officer is a white male. The chief says he wants a transparent investigation in light of officer involved shootings in other parts of the country.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the case to investigate. The officer who was involved in the shooting is on paid administrative leave as they investigate.

Ughhhh that really makes me feel some type of way. I feel like this and many other cases that we have heard of shows that police officers have little to absolute no training whatsoever when it comes to dealing with people and mental illness. Another unarmed young black man is dead when he could have been shot in the leg and in the hospital recovering from his injuries and getting the help he obviously needed. Anthony Hill did not need to lose his life and the police are completely reckless. Can someone get them new training asap because this is beyond ridiculous!!!!

[RIP] Charmayne Maxee Maxwell of RnB Group Brownstone Dies in Freak Accident!


WOW! Very sad news to report that Charmayne Maxwell has died. Maxee, the cocoa skinned beauty usually rocking the long braids, was one of the powerhouse voices behind 90's RnB trio Brownstone. They were everything back in the day. If You Love Me, Grapevine, and 5 Miles to Empty,  are just a few of their many hits. This news is completely devastating and the horrific way she passed...my goodness.

According to TMZ:
Charmayne Maxwell -- part of the 90s R&B group Brownstone -- died Friday night in L.A. after her husband found her bleeding from a cut to her neck  ... TMZ has learned.
A family member tells us Charmayne had come home from her son's soccer game, and was home alone with him. Later in the evening ... around 9 PM her husband, music producer Carsten Soulshock, came home and found her unconscious and bleeding.
We're told it looked like Charmayne had fallen and cut her neck on glass ... she was bleeding profusely, but still had a pulse. Carsten called 911, and paramedics transported her to Cedars Sinai Hospital ... but she had lost too much blood. We're told she died on the way to the hospital.
LAPD went to the home ... and tell us it was a broken wine glass that cut Charmayne's neck. Detectives do not suspect foul play.

Just crazy. That's so sad. May she rest in peace. Y'all check out these classics below.

RIP: Stuart Scott loses his battle with cancer; Dead at the age of 49

 
Very sad news coming from the sports world today that Stuart Scott has passed away.
 

ESPN reports:

 
Stuart Scott, a longtime anchor at ESPN, died Sunday morning at the age of 49.
Among the features of the new ESPN studio in Bristol is a wall of catchphrases made famous by on-air talent over the years. An amazing nine of them belong to one man -- from his signature "Boo-Yah!" to "As cool as the other side of the pillow" to "He must be the bus driver cuz he was takin' him to school."
That man is Stuart Scott, and his contributions to the sports lexicon are writ large. But they are only one aspect of his legacy. When he passed away, he left behind so much more. He inspired his colleagues with his sheer talent, his work ethic and his devotion to his daughters, Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15. He defied convention and criticism to help bring this network into a new century. He spoke to the very athletes he was talking about with a flair and a style that ESPN president John Skipper says, "changed everything."
"He didn't just push the envelope," says sports radio host and former ESPN anchor Dan Patrick. "He bulldozed the envelope."
Scott was remembered through an outpouring of tributes by athletes, colleagues and fans on Twitter and statements from his alma mater, the University of North Carolina, which said that "his legacy will live on in many ways -- as a friend, a son, a father, a professional and forever, a Tar Heel," and President Barack Obama.
"I will miss Stuart Scott. Twenty years ago, Stu helped usher in a new way to talk about our favorite teams and the day's best plays. For much of those twenty years, public service and campaigns have kept me from my family -- but wherever I went, I could flip on the TV and Stu and his colleagues on SportsCenter were there. Over the years, he entertained us, and in the end, he inspired us -- with courage and love. Michelle and I offer our thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, and colleagues," the President said.

Wow such tragic news coming from instagram and twitter about Stephanie Moseley better known as Hasel Star. The VH1 beauty was apparently lost her life at the hands of her husband, rapper Earl Hayes in a murder suicide.

The rapper Earl Hayes -- who was once signed to Mayweather's record label -- often partied with Floyd. Moseley has been a backup dancer with numerous singers, including Chris Brown and Britney Spears.
Residents heard a woman screaming in the apartment before shots rang out.
Sources connected with Moseley and Hayes tell TMZ ... he had accused her of infidelity with a famous singer.

Many prayers to her family during this time. May she Rest In Peace.
Get more details and check out pics from the scene via TMZ.





Update:

TMZ reports that Floyd Mayweather was a witness, during a facetime call, to the murder of his friend's wife then to his friend's suicide. WOW!!!

According to our Floyd sources, Earl said he was going to kill his wife. The champ was pleading with him to get a grip ... to no avail. Floyd will not say how much he saw, but he acknowledges he was a witness and heard everything.  
You can read the full story via TMZ!

Update:

Oh Lordt!!! So now TMZ is implying that the VH1 star may have been having an affair with Trey Songz!
Earl Hayes -- the man who cops say shot his famous wife to death Monday and then killed himself -- was haunted by her infidelity ... in particular what he said was a fling she had with singer Trey Songz.
As TMZ reported, Stephanie Moseley -- the star of VH1's "Hit the Floor" -- was gunned down in their L.A. apartment as neighbors heard her screaming. Shots rang out, the SWAT team came, busted through the door and discovered the 2 bodies.
Sources connected with Hayes tell us ... around 2 years ago he separated from Stephanie because of what he says was her affair with Songz. They got back together but, as one friend put it, "He was crushed and never got over it." We're told he frequently brought up Songz.
Hayes accused Moseley of having multiple affairs with various other entertainers. She was a backup dancer who worked with numerous famous singers, including Chris Brown and Usher, but we're told Hayes never mentioned them as a source of conflict.
Hayes and Moseley married in 2008 and his friends say he loved her and tried rationalizing staying together.
This is just crazy. I pray that nobody was cheating at all. More importantly, if there was any infidelity involved with Trey or anyone else for the matter it wasn't worth her life. Divorce people divorce. Anyway you can check out the full details on TMZ!!!

Kandi Burruss Reacts...

Today has been a tough day. Our family has suffered a terrible loss. Sharon was the best mother in-law! She was fun, energetic, loving, & caring. I loved how she liked to get up & go all the time. She would get you in check one minute & give you a hug the next minute. She still had a young spirit. It's unbelievable that she's gone. I'm so sad for @todd167 because they were so close... He talked to her every morning & all thru out the day, every day. It's hard losing people that you love but when it's out of the blue with no warning it just makes it that much harder.... I'm still in shock.

Update: Miss Sharon laid to rest!
Over the weekend, Dec 6th funeral services  for Todd's mother took place in NYC.
