Teen accused of killing dad who teased her for being fat
An 18-year-old woman from Indiana is accused of brutally killing her dad who teased her for being fat.
Ameera Stokes reportedly called 911 early Sunday to confess that she murdered her father, Donald Stokes, while visiting his home in Mt. Morris Township, Michigan, according to news station WJRT.
Police said the pair was fighting over “life issues” when the teen attacked her dad with a hammer then stabbed him, MLive.com reported.
Authorities arrived at the home to find the father’s body in the stairwell. He appeared to have suffered blunt force trauma, according to police.
The teen was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the Mother’s Day slaying. She is being held without bail.
Her mother, Gretchen Brasher, said she sent the teen to live with her dad as a child. However, the 18-year-old’s relationship with her father was fraught.
“He was very verbally abusive,” Brasher told news station WJRT. “She had a belly, so he would tease her about being fat.”

Rihanna’s sexy new lingerie line is here
Rih fans, rejoice: Rihanna’s much-awaited lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, has finally arrived.
The line, which Rihanna partnered with TechStyle Fashion Group to produce, dropped online late Thursday night at SavageX.com. Its 90 styles span a wide range of sizes intended to “[celebrate] all shades and shapes,” according to the brand’s website. (It’s similar to the mission of her popular Fenty Beauty line, which is heralded for its wide range of shades.) Prices start at $14.50 and cap at $99.
“We’ve been working on this for a few years now, believe it or not,” the singer told the crowd at her launch Thursday night, held at Villain in Williamsburg. As she stood on stage, a larger-than-life hologram in her likeness strutted around her, modeling various items from the collection. “Finally, after all this time, I cannot believe that everybody’s going to be able to have their hands all in it.”
The collection includes four categories: “On the Reg,” which features not-so-basic basics such as T-shirt bras and briefs; “U Cute,” which consists of feminine lace pieces; “Damn,” which ups the sexy ante with frisky garters and sheer corsets; and “Black Widow,” which gets naughty with the likes of cupless bras and sheer bodysuits.
In tune with the brand’s size-inclusive, shade-inclusive mission, the campaign is shown on models of different races and body types. “I think RiRi is, truly, starting a revolution,” one of the posers, Stella Duval, tells The Post in an email. “She is changing the way people view beauty. She is lighting the barrier between ‘plus-size’ and ‘straight-size’ — she is making us equals.”
Rihanna hopes her fans — all of them — love it just as much.
“Tell all your friends, your cousins, your sisters, your girlfriends and your ex-girlfriends, too,” she told the crowd Thursday. “Because Savage is for everybody, regardless.”
