NJ judge apologizes for telling woman in love triangle to sell nude photos to Playboy
Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Alberto Rivas is facing charges of violating the judicial code by making inappropriate remarks in a Family Court hearing, including advising a woman in a love triangle to divorce her husband and “take half his pension” and suggesting to the other woman in the triangle that she send nude photographs of herself to Hugh Hefner.
Rivas, who serves as Assignment Judge in the county, has apologized for the remarks.
“I regret the comments I made during the proceeding,” Rivas said in a statement. “I felt the court was being manipulated, but I let my feelings about the case influence my language, tone and demeanor, all of which were inappropriate.”
The charges by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct against Rivas, who became a judge in 2010, arise from a Family Court case on Jan. 10 when a woman sought the return of several suggestive photographs she took of herself for her former boyfriend, which were allegedly forwarded to the boyfriend’s wife.
The woman told the judge she was afraid the wife would forward the pictures to the woman’s workplace.
In an exchange with woman, Rivas said that her testimony was not believable.
“I was born at night,” the judge said, according to a transcript. “It was not last night.”
In his answer to the complaint, Rivas said the case initially appeared to be a revenge porn or blackmail matter, but it became apparent that the woman “was attempting to perpetuate a fraud on the court.”
As the hearing progressed, Rivas said in the answer to the charges, it became clear the woman’s story was “a complete fabrication” and that she had “orchestrated” the “legal charade.”
Rivas questioned the woman’s statement that she did not know where her boyfriend’s wife worked.
“Do not sit there and tell me that you’re having a relationship with a married man and that you don’t where his wife works,” the judge said, adding “I’ve been doing this for a number of years. Better people have attempted to lie to me. You’re not that good.”
The judge characterized the woman’s comments as “baloney” and added he should not be wasting “judicial resources on this kind of malarkey.”
The woman said she no longer wanted to have contact with her boyfriend, but declined to file for a final restraining order, which Rivas said he would be “happy to grant.”
Rivas said the boyfriend, who he called a “knucklehead,” “needs to be brought down a notch.”
The judge then talked to the wife and asked why she was still married to the man, who is a corrections officer.
“I would suggest divorce and take half his pension,” Rivas said. The couple had been married for about 11 years and had a 10-year-old daughter.
The judge then addressed the man, who was present in court but not part of the proceedings between the woman and his wife.
“I wish you were up here,” Rivas said, “because I am gunning for you, because you are despicable.”
After the wife agreed to turn over the photographs within 24 hours, the judge told the wife, “Your problem is with that knucklehead. But, it’s clear that you folks have been involved in a triangle, and kind of like the Bermuda Triangle, it’s deadly.”
Rivas told the women they have let themselves “get played by this guy. Who I’m not going to call him a man because he does not deserve that title. This homo sapien.”
At the end of the court proceeding, Rivas said he was giving “advice” to the woman who took the pictures of herself.
“The only person you should be sending naked pictures to are (sic) to Hugh Hefner,” Rivas said. “He will pay you $100,000 for the use of them.”
Hefner, who died in September 2017, was founder of Playboy magazine.
In his answer to the complaint, Rivas admitted his remarks were “inappropriate” and “let his feelings about what the (woman) had done, by placing (the wife) in such a humiliating position, influence (his) language, tone and demeanor.”
Rivas said his comments “were not motivated by bias or prejudice” and “intemperate and not judicial in word or tone.”
Rivas, who received his undergraduate degree from Princeton and his law degree from Rutgers, waived a formal hearing before the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct.

Kodak Black Apologises For Threatening To Punch Pregnant Yung Miami In The Stomach
The rapper issued an apology to both City Girls’ Yung Miami and Southside after rapping about punching the rapstress in the stomach during a freestyle from jail.
Kodak Black finally apologised threatening to punch pregnant City Girls rapper Yung Miami “in the stomach.”
Yung Miami Claps Back After Kodak Black Threatened To Hit The Pregnant Star ‘In The Stomach’
The 22-year-old rapper received some major backlash following his recent infamous freestyle he released from behind bars, where he threatened to harm her and producer Southside’s unborn child.
“I bought Yung Miami a ring, she bought an 808 baby/When I see her, I’ma hit that b***h in her stomach/The way I keep this s**t too real they say I’m f**king up my money,” he spat.
Kodak tweeted – and later deleted – apologies to both Miami and Southside, before claiming that he has no beef with Southside and wishing the couple and their unborn baby the best.
“#YungMiami Gimmicks Are For Suckas,” the rapper wrote. “As I Sit Back I Realize How Petty That Move Was And As A Man It’s Certain Things We Refrain From.”
“Ain’t no smoke with you bra, f*ck that lame s**t,” he wrote to Southside. “I pray y’all have a healthy baby and a prosperous life. Besides, bitch, we got more hits to make.”
After Kodak originally dropped the freestyle, Southside fired back on Instagram while Miami herself took to social media to address Kodak Black’s ‘disrespectful’ comments aimed at her and her baby.

Ads Pulled for Gory Universal Thriller ‘The Hunt’ in Wake of Mass Shootings
Comcast unit is pausing its ad campaign for ‘The Hunt,’ due in September, and reviewing materials
In the wake of a trio of deadly massacres, the studio is evaluating its strategy for the R-rated Blumhouse satire in which elites stalk “deplorables.”
“Did anyone see what our ratfucker-in-chief just did?” one character asks early in the screenplay for The Hunt, a Universal Pictures thriller set to open Sept. 27. Another responds: “At least The Hunt’s coming up. Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables.”
In the aftermath of mass shootings within days of one another that shocked and traumatized the nation, Universal is re-evaluating its strategy for the certain-to-be-controversial satire. The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals.
Over the Aug. 3 weekend, ESPN pulled an ad for the film that it had previously cleared, while AMC ran the spot during the season premiere of its drama The Preacher. It’s unclear whether the ads were identical, but the one yanked by ESPN opened with a sound resembling an emergency broadcast signal. A rep for ESPN parent Disney declined to comment on the move, but an ESPN source says no spots for the film will appear on the network in the coming weeks.
The Hunt stars Betty Gilpin from GLOW and Hilary Swank, representing opposite sides of the political divide. It features guns blazing along with other ultra-violent killings as the elites pick off their prey. The script from Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter revolves around third-rail political themes. (Original title: Red State Vs. Blue State.)
A studio source says that even before the recent attacks, which left 34 dead in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Gilroy, California, some reshoots were done based on a recent rough cut. Universal and Blumhouse declined to comment.
While one high-level Universal source says the studio has pulled some ads that are beginning to air and appear online “for content and placement,” others say the matter is still under discussion internally. A major ad blitz on television and the web had been planned for the beginning of September, says one insider. A trailer is already online.
Given the fraught political climate — particularly in the wake of the attack in El Paso, which was motivated by anti-immigrant bigotry — studio sources say Universal is evaluating its plans in what one called “a fluid situation.” A high-level insider says top executives want to stand by Blum, one of the studio’s most prolific and successful producers, as well as filmmaker Craig Zobel, and see the project as a satire addressing an issue of great social importance. But this person says plans could change “if people think we’re being exploitative rather than opinionated.”
From a business perspective, The Hunt presents a gamble for Universal in these divided times. The satire Assassination Nation, which also pitted the woke versus the unwoke in uber-violent fashion, represented the top sale at Sundance 2018 at $10 million. But the film fizzled upon its release later that year, earning just $2 million with no international rollout. Says one person involved with that film, “We thought people would get the joke.”
The Hunt made some executives at Universal skittish back in May 2018, when film chief Donna Langley acquired the script and fast-tracked it at a modest $18 million budget. It is unclear whether there were any other bidders on the property, the sale of which was brokered by CAA, but insiders at several studios told THR at the time that they did not pursue it because of the explosive premise. One executive says he didn’t even read the script, noting, “The idea seemed crazy.”
This is not the first time a studio has been faced with real-life events that rendered a film release more complicated. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, for example, Warner Bros. moved back the Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer Collateral Damage and abandoned a trailer that featured a bomb attack in the U.S. The 2017 Death Wish remake was delayed several months in response to a mass shooting in Las Vegas. And Oliver Stone’s 1994 satire Natural Born Killers was criticized for inspiring copycat killings.
Certainly, satire can be a dicey genre for studios to pull off. Just ask Sony, which became the target of a 2014 hack blamed on the North Koreans over the Seth Rogen comedy The Interview.
The script for The Hunt features the red-state characters wearing trucker hats and cowboy shirts, with one bragging about owning seven guns because it’s his constitutional right. The blue-state characters — some equally adept with firearms — explain that they picked their targets because they expressed anti-choice positions or used the N-word on Twitter. “War is war,” says one character after shoving a stiletto heel through the eye of a denim-clad hillbilly.
“Employees in different departments were questioning the wisdom of making such a movie in these times,” says one filmmaker with ties to Universal. “In light of the horrific [recent shootings], is this not the most craven, irresponsible, dangerous exploitation?”
That point is countered by a Universal executive, who says the movie “is meant to show what a stupid, crazy world we live in,” adding, “It might even be more powerful now.”

‘He Got Baby Feet’: T.I.’s Photo With Wife Tiny Harris Derails After Folks Notice His ‘Miniature’ Feet
Article via AtlantaBlackStar
Rapper T.I. is getting clowned all over social media for apparently being a part of the “disadvantaged shoe size gang.”
The “You Don’t Know Me” rapper took to Instagram early Wednesday morning and posted a photo of himself and his wife Tiny Harris lounging around together on a chaise lounge. The image showed the “King” propping his legs and feet across his wife’s lap as she’s facing in the opposite direction from where he was lying.
“Busy doing nothing,” T.I. captioned the photo.
However, the “Trap King’s” sweet photo with his wife took an unexpected turn when fans called him on the carpet for his seemingly tiny feet. Some even mistook his yellow shoes for Tiny’s until they noticed his legs over her lap.
“So no one gonna ask why he got baby feet ??”
“I thought those were Tiny’s feet but naw them tip’s ?”
“Damn brah what u were a size 4? Them miniture ass feet boi ?.”
“Your feet look so little wittle ?.”
A few fans defended the rapper, claiming it was the photo angle.
“I don’t think that’s really how his feet look it’s the damn angle y’all ? enjoy the damn pic.”
“He is little though what u expect his feet fit his body you haters ?. Tiny ain’t complaining.”
T.I. and Tiny were spotted on vacation last week for their nine-year anniversary although their whereabouts were unknown. The pair doted on each other in style at a luxurious beachfront villa, which was all captured on camera by the “Big Things Poppin” rapper himself.
The Xscape singer bragged about their love and luxurious vacation in a post from Aug 2., writing, “9yrs later & it feels like we on our honeymoon!! This love is crazy, unexplainable, passionate,rare, & real. I’m in love with the way u love me!! Happy Anniversary Big Daddy @troubleman31 #18yrsStrong.”
T.I. and Tiny share seven children, including Major, King, and baby Heiress, whom the couple share together, sons Domani and Messiah and daughter Deyjah Harris from T.I.’s previous relationships, and Pullins from Tiny’s former relationship.

Boy charged with kidnapping for taking car with kids inside; children’s mother dragged behind car
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A 14-year-old boy who police say carjacked a vehicle in upstate New York with two children inside and drove off as their mother held on to the car is facing kidnapping and other charges.
The Syracuse Post-Standard reports the mother of the 6- and 7-year-old children was standing outside the parked car when the teen approached and got into the driver’s seat Sunday afternoon in Syracuse.
Syracuse police say the mother was dragged as she hung onto the car to try to stop the driver.
Another driver drove in front of the car to stop it.
Police say the teen, whose name was not released because of his age, ran away but was later caught by an “unknown citizen.”
The children were not harmed. The mother suffered minor injuries.

Man accused of molesting two boys in stranger’s home claims he ‘blacked out’
NDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Prosecutors have filed charges against a Missouri man for allegedly entering a stranger’s home and molesting two boys under the age of 10, one of whom has autism.
Treyvohn D. Covington, 26, faces two counts of first-degree sodomy, second-degree child molestation and first-degree burglary.
According to court records, officers responded to an apartment in Independence around 5:15 Sunday morning on a burglary. When officers arrived they found Convington in the living room of the apartment naked from the waist down, according to a news release from Independence police. He was taken into custody for burglary and sexual assault.
The woman who reported the incident to police said she had driven from Springfield, Missouri with her grandsons and they were staying at her sister’s apartment. She told police the three grandkids were asleep in the living room and she was asleep in a back bedroom.
One victim, who is diagnosed with autism, came into the bedroom and was “acting excited” but was having trouble communicating. The grandmother said she told him to go back to the living room but stated a few minutes later she heard what she thought was her grandsons playing and went out to tell them to be quiet.
The grandmother told police when she got to the living room she saw Covington on top of her grandson. She said she pushed the suspect off and took the three kids to the bathroom, locked the door and called police.
Covington told police he had been with his friends drinking and blacked out. He said the last thing he remembers is taking a shot of Hennessey in a car on the way home from the club. The next thing he remembered was waking up in jail and did not have any recollection of what happened.
Prosecutors have requested a $75,000 bond for Covington.

Cardi B wants videotape and text messages with Offset sealed in $30 million court battle
Article via RevoltTV
Cardi B has taken a trip back to court in hopes of blocking a videotape and private text messages with Offset from being released.
According to The Blast, Cardi is worried about her videotaped deposition, which is scheduled for this month. During the deposition, Cardi will be confronted by her former manager, Klenord “Shaft” Raphael, in regards to their lawsuit. Cardi is urging the judge to seal the videotape. The Invasion of Privacy spitter fears that the video will become a social media frenzy if released.
“The public release of any video of Ms. Almanzar’s deposition, in particular, poses a significant risk of harm and misuse on social media platforms because it is highly likely that any such video will be reproduced and edited (and possibly manipulated) into out-of-context video clips and GIFs of her testimony,” the site reveals. “Any such video clips are likely to be widely posted on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter and remain available through trial in this case. Such dissemination would be an egregious and prejudicial invasion of Ms. Almanzar’s privacy and could significantly affect the available jury pool.”
Back in April, Cardi was sued for $10 million by her former manager for a breach in contract. As a response, Cardi countersued Raphael for $15 million in damages. She also accused Raphel of screwing her over in multiple business affairs.
The Bronx spitter stated that Raphael took advantage of her “trust and naiveté and persuaded her to sign contracts and to enter into deals in which Mr. Raphael attempted to take an unreasonable and unconscionable portion of [her] earnings in the entertainment industry for himself.”
Last week, Cardi emphasized the importance of being safe and cautious. The mother-of-one was set to hit the stage at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Downtown Indianapolis. Unfortunately, one hour before the soldout show, the event was canceled due to a security threat.
“Dear Indiana I just want to let you know I was in the venue today,” Cardi wrote in an effort to sympathize with her fans. “I rehearsed and started doing glam.Due to a security threat that is under investigation the show was canceled. My safety and your safety first .I want to thank the promoters we have already rescheduled the show. Im so sorry guys I never dealt with a situation like this before and I’m not taking any chances.I love you guys.”
