The Game had been fighting serious sexual assault allegations for months before a judge ruled in favor of his accuser. Priscilla Rainey is the woman accusing the rapper of sexual assault and she is due to receive a $7.1 million payout in the case. Game has additionally accused of holding back money from her and in a new update from court, Rainey has reportedly been awarded the artist’s music royalties.

A federal judge has reportedly ruled that Priscilla Rainey can seize the rapper’s royalties in order to pay the $7.1 million judgment. Until The Game’s debt is completely paid off, Rainey will reportedly be going directly to BMI for his money.

Apparently, The Game must comply with the royalty payments. If he attempts to block them, he can face time in jail for being held in contempt of the court.

Thus far, Rainey has only been able to collect $70,000 from The Game. She is due to receive a royalty payment from him this week.

Rainey was a contestant on the rapper’s reality show She’s Got Game, where she accused Game of groping her bare vagina, breasts, and butt in front of a crowd. When she pleaded with him to stop, he allegedly responded: “Shut the fuck up before I eliminate you!”

We will keep you posted as updates occur.

The Game and Wack 100 are facing new heat after the attorney for Priscilla Rainey claims the rapper and his manager have been hiding his assets in an attempt to dodge coughing up the settlement cash. A judge granted Priscilla Rainey $7M after she sued the rapper for sexual assault but he’s publicly stated that he has no intention of coughing up the dough.

In documents obtained by AllHipHop, Rainey’s lawyer claims that Wack 100 and The Game have both been doing anything they can in order to avoid paying the judgment.rt documents. 

“Post-judgment discovery has revealed that Taylor owns almost no assets under his own name, but assigns his interests to receive revenue to his manager, his manager’s company, and other Taylor-owned holding companies,” Michael Jason Lee, Rainey’s lawyer, said in court. Lee also accused The Game of transferring his home to Wack as a gift because “the conveyance [was] a bonafide gift, and the grantor received nothing in return.”

At this point, Rainey’s aiming to get her money from The Game’s royalties. 

“If Taylor is given any notice or opportunity, he may simply create another legal entity, as he has done before, or assign his rights to receive payments from BMI to Cash Jones,” Lee continued. “Rainey’s cause will be irreparably prejudiced if this request for a restraining order is heard according to regular noticed motion procedures.”

Though Joe Biden is all but guaranteed to emerge as the Democratic presidential nominee, a development that would place him in a head-on battle with Donald Trump, there remains a disturbing dark cloud hovering over the former VP. It began when a former aide by the name of Tara Reade accused Biden of sexually assaulting her twenty-seven years ago, provided details about an encounter with Biden in 1993. As she explained: “[Biden] had me up against the wall; he used his knee to spread open my legs and put his fingers inside me.”

Since Biden’s presidential campaign has picked up momentum, Reade has again raised awareness toward their alleged encounter; though initially reticent to cover the story at all, many mainstream news media outlets have finally taken the plunge and addressed the possibility of its authenticity. With the narrative continuing to plague his reputation, Joe Biden finally addressed Reade’s allegations by way of complete denial.

“This never happened,” reads the statement. “While the details of these allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault are complicated, two things are not complicated. One is that women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and when they step forward they should be heard, not silenced. The second is that their stories should be subject to appropriate inquiry and scrutiny. Responsible news organizations should examine and evaluate the full and growing record of inconsistencies in her story, which has changed repeatedly in both small and big ways.”

The statement continues: “She has said she raised some of these issues with her supervisor and senior staffers from my office at the time. They — both men and a woman — have said, unequivocally, that she never came to them and complained or raised issues. News organizations that have talked with literally dozens of former staffers have not found one — not one — who corroborated her allegations in any way. Indeed, many of them spoke to the culture of an office that would not have tolerated harassment in any way — as indeed I would not have.”

It should be noted that Biden has not reached out to Tara Reade, nor does it appear he intends to. One thing is certain, however — this will not be the last we hear of this, especially if Trump has his way on the debate stage.

Harvey Weinstein is officially back in custody at New York City’s main jail complex, Riker’s Island after suffering from chest pains following his infamous conviction. Back in Feb., the former movie mogul was found guilty of third-degree rape for attacking former actress Jessica Mann and a felony sex crime for forcing his former-production assistant, Mimi Haley to perform oral sex on Weinstein. Since then, Weinstein has been hospitalized on numerous occasions, underwent heart surgery, took a nasty fall at Riker’s, and even sent a death threat Jennifer Aniston’s way since his conviction. Rachel Murray/Getty Images

On March 11, Weinstein was sentenced to a total of 23 years in prison after being convicted guilty for rape and sex crime acts. Which eventually led to his blood pressure rising dangerously high causing him to be hospitalized. Now, according to Page Six, Weinstein was discharged from Bellevue Hospital on Monday afternoon (March 16) and is back at his new home for the next two-plus decades. 

During his initial trial, Weinstein allegedly sent chocolate-covered penises to one of his accusers, had his genitals detailed as prepubescent-like, had a “golden shower” incident vividly described in the courtroom, and had his nudes exposed to the juror panel. 

Despite his outlandish behavior and health complications, he will never be able to escape the fact that he is a convicted rapist and has to serve the time for his actions. Hopefully, nothing leads to his early demise while in prison at the moment, not because a portion of the population believes he’s a slimeball, but because he also has pending sexual assault charges in Los Angeles that have a trial begin. Stick with us as the Harvey Weinstein judicial saga continues to surge forward. 

Earlier today (March 13), Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club interviewed the legendary and non-aging, actress Angela Bassett and she revealed some chilling details as her role as Tina Turner in the iconic biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It (1993). While she was robbed for the 1994 Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the superstar singer/songwriter, Bassett has accumulated one of the most decorated film careers in history. The 61-year-old thespian has become a household name for her performances in films like Malcom X (1992), Waiting to Exhale (1995), How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998), and more. In more recent years, Ms. Bassett has found a resurgence becoming a member of the Marvel Universe starring movies like Black Panther (2018) and becoming a mainstay on the highly-popularized thriller television series, American Horror Story.

While Angela Bassett continues to have one of the most historic runs in film and entertainment history, it was her story and the disturbing experience of filming some of the most gut-wrenching scenes ever revealed in a music-based biopic as she portrayed Tina Turner. Around the 14:00 minute mark of her latest interview with The Breakfast Club, Angela Yee reveals that Bassett has landed another role as Anna Mae in an upcoming film. The same name of Bassett’s character in What’s Love Got to Do With It.

When asked if she was bothered by the name selection, Vampire in Brooklyn actress stated that she wasn’t offended by it. Charlamagne Tha God then went on to ask Ms. Bassett about the cerebral process of playing Tina Turner who was a victim of physical, verbal, and sexual assault throughout the notorious film and how she was forced to embody that trauma in order to deliver a convincing product. Bassett responded in the most eloquently way she knew how, stating:

“It was… you know the scenes. The rape scene by the aquarium. Or him, fighting (me) and getting dragged down the hall. But, it was good to have a colleague (Laurence Fishbourne) to have that in someone you trust and I’m speaking on Laurence, to go through that (with). Because he’s got you. You know? He’s got you emotionally and just actor to actor.” 

Bassett continued:

“The hours were long. It was extremely physical. You actually hurt for thirty straight days. If you’re not dancing, you’re lifting weights so, the lactic acid build-up for thirty days something, everything hurt, but you had to go on. Some of it was understood, the dynamics within a relationship, between a man and a woman, you know? Black love. Violence. Or whatever. And like you said it inhabits your spirit and yet ‘we’re making a movie.'”

As a victim of sexual assault as a child, Angela Bassett remained extremely candid and transparent about a filming process that could have mental consequences on even the greatest of actors/actresses. 

Angela Bassett also spoke on the coronavirus, accolades, Broadway, and more. Check out her interview with The Breakfast Club in the video provided below and skip to the 14:00-minute mark to hear the living icon discuss her portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It. 

After receiving the breaking news that Harvey Weinstein would be serving 23 years of jail time for the assault and rape charges which he was convicted of in February, we learned that he was transported to a hospital instead of back into custody. This follows a series of health complications that have been plaguing Weinstein’s time in court. In December, Weinstein underwent back surgery as a corrective measure for a car accident that took place earlier in the year. Weinstein told police that he swerved off the road to avoid hitting a deer. On March 4th, Weinstein underwent an angioplasty procedure, so doctors could insert a surgical balloon into a clogged heart vessel to improve blood flow.

Weinstein’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer said in a statement that the decision to take Harvey Weinstein to Bellevue Hospital in New York, instead of back to Rikers Island, was to ensure his safety and good health. Engelmayer credited the NYC Department of Corrections for the “level of care and attention” that they are showing regarding Mr. Weinstein’s medical condition. It is reported that Weinstein was taken to the hospital to check on his ongoing heart problems and possible complications related to his back surgery. He was treated overnight and has since been transported back to Rikers. He is to be housed in the North Infirmary Command and is being supervised closely.

This past Monday night (March 9), Corey Feldman held a screening of his documentary (My) Truth, which details the alleged sexual abuse that he and Corey Haim endured as child stars in Hollywood. In 2017, Charlie Sheen adamantly denied that he and Haim had any sexual encounter. However, Friday the 13th actor, Dominick Brascia accused Sheen of raping Haim during the filming of the 1986 movie Lucas. At the time of the production of the movie, the former Two and a Half Men actor was 19-years-old while Haim was only 13-years-old which would legally classify the encounter as statutory rape despite the act being consensual.

Corey Feldman’s (My) Truth documentary aired at Los Angeles’ Director’s Guild of America and featured a segment entitled The Rape of Two Coreys which detailed the alleged sexual assault claims that Corey Haim made against Charlie Sheen during a revealing conversation Haim had with Feldman. Entertainment Weekly states that Feldman directly included Sheen’s name as one of Haim’s abusers during the documentary as he said:

“This wasn’t like a one-time thing he said in passing. It wasn’t like ‘Oh, by the way, this happened.’ He went into great detail,” as Feldman cried during the scene. “He told me, ‘Charlie bent me over in between two trailers and put Crisco oil on my butt and raped me in broad daylight. Anybody could have walked by, anybody could have seen it.'”

Corey Haim tragically passed away from pneumonia in 2010 and doesn’t have the opportunity to defend himself from his alleged abuser in Charlie Sheen. As for Sheen, he’s found himself in a sh*t storm as of late after being accused of plotting to murder his former assistant and revealing that he was HIV-positive in 2017 and has possibly knowingly spread the virus to his intimate partners.  

Check out the trailer Corey Feldman’s disturbing (My) Truth documentary in the video provided below. 

Back in the mid 2000s, a soul singer by the name of Duffy took the industry by storm with her huge hit “Mercy” and an equally successful debut album titled Rockferry released in 2008. She would go on to release only one more album, the 2010 follow-up Endlessly, before going on what has now been a 10-year musical hiatus. However, the break was surprisingly due to an extremely heartbreaking sexual assault situation that she had to endure and has finally got the courage to publicly reveal.

Hopping on Instagram two days ago, Duffy wrote an extensive explanation behind her break from making music that sent shockwaves through those who caught wind of her post. “You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this,” she started off her caption, following up by writing, “The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter. Well, not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk. I cannot explain it. Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why.” She then made the big revelation, adding, “A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer. He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak. The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days.”

She confirmed that the assault is behind her, writing, “Of course I survived. The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine.”

Some may have questioned as to why she didn’t channel the pain into her music as many artists have done in the past, to which she noted,”You wonder why I did not choose to use my voice to express my pain? I did not want to show the world the sadness in my eyes. I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken? And slowly it unbroke. In the following weeks I will be posting a spoken interview. If you have any questions I would like to answer them, in the spoken interview, if I can.” 

She concluded her message with the following: “I have a sacred love and sincere appreciation for your kindness over the years. You have been friends. I want to thank you for that x Duffy.” She also adding a quick closing request to fans and the general public, writing, “Please respect this is a gentle move for me to make, for myself, and I do not want any intrusion to my family. Please support me to make this a positive experience.”

As someone who was shaping up to be in the same lane of Adele and the late Amy Winehouse, we can only pray that Duffy can make a full recovery and continue to make beautiful music as she once did. Much respect, Queen.

Read Duffy’s original post below: 

Antonio Brown has been one of the biggest newsmakers of the last year for a plethora of reasons. One of the stories that have followed Brown around for the last few months is the sexual assault case against him. Brown’s former trainer Britney Taylor has accused AB of sexually assaulting and raping her on three separate occasions. Taylor launched a lawsuit against Brown which has seen various twists and turns, including the falling back of some of his attorneys.

In a strange twist, AB leaked an e-mail pertaining to the case although he eventually deleted it, according to TMZ. The e-mail allegedly states that Tayor was ready to accept a $2.7 million settlement. In the end, the agreement fell through and the lawsuit continues to march on. 

This settlement was reportedly suggested back in August of 2019. This was just a few weeks before the lawsuit was made public by Taylor. With this context in mind, it seems as though Brown was trying to prove his innocence by leaking the e-mail. However, the fact he deleted it tells us his legal counsel probably got involved before he could do some serious damage to his defense.

Stay tuned for further updates on this case as we will be sure to bring them to you.

50 Cent isn’t buying the recent allegations against the late Rick James accusing him of raping a 15-year-old girl.

The For Life actor and Power exec. hit his favorite social media platform where he partly-joked and fully doubted the woman who is suing the late musician’s estate for $50M. “oh fuck this i’m done with all this shit,” he wrote on Instagram. “Nah i don’t want to hear shit, these bitches be crazy.”

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise for anyone, really. In recent times particularly, following the passing of Kobe Bryant, Fif’s vocalized his skepticism surrounding Black male entertainers being sued over allegations of sexual assault. Fif’s position on the recent slew of sexual assault allegations has made him wary, even calling Harvey Weinstein’s settlement agreement with one of his victims as a “big money grab.”

According to Pitchfork, a woman in New York filed a suit against James for allegedly raping her in 1979 when she was 15-years-old. Due to the Child Victim’s Act in New York City, there’s an extension on the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse victims. The woman alleges that James was brought to a youth detention facility where she was living but the second they were introduced, he made her feel uncomfortable.

“I did not know who Rick James was and shrugged and said I don’t know him,” she wrote in the court documents. “Almost immediately, Rick James was very suggestive and inappropriate towards me. He made me feel very uncomfortable.”

She said she wasn’t excited about his visit as other women were and went to her room to read.

 “As I was laying on my belly on my bed,” she writes, “Rick James came into my bedroom and swiftly laid on top of me. He grabbed my hair and pushed my head into the pillow. I tried to fight him off, but he told me, ‘Shut up and quit moving or I’ll cut you.’ He violently ripped off my underwear and proceeded to violent rape me and ejaculate inside of me.”

The woman said that after the alleged assault, she threatened that if she told anyone, he would “know where to find” her. She’s currently suing his estate for $50M for damages including “physical, psychological, and emotional injury.”

James already has prior convictions related to sexual assault. In 1993, he was convicted of assaulting two women, once from an incident in 1991, and another in 1992 while he was out on bail. Prosecutors said James and his girlfriend imprisoned and tortured a 24-year-old girl over the course of three days where he and his girlfriend tied the girl to a chair, forcing her to perform sex acts and burning her with a crack pipe while on a coke bender. James was later arrested in 1992 after assaulting a woman in his hotel room. James was later sentenced to over two years in prison for the assaults.

Rick James was also under investigation in 2002 over an alleged sexual assault against a woman that took place in his home.
