Blac Chyna involved the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services in her family affairs after her 3-year-old daughter, Dream, allegedly suffered “severe” burns while in Dream’s father, Rob Kardashian’s care on more than one occasion. As Chyna and Rob’s fight for custody of Dream in their ongoing legal battle, Chyna has become concerned after Dream was brought to her with yet another burn on her leg after a similar incident last month. Chyna alleges that Dream received a first-degree burn on her leg at the end of February while the toddler was with Rob. “Rob admitted that Dream had received the severe burn at his home and promised it would never happen again,” Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, said in a statement. “Chyna immediately sought out and obtained appropriate medical treatment for Dream’s burn.” However, earlier this week, Dream allegedly suffered an additional burn in a similar spot.

“Chyna was shocked and extremely upset to discover that Dream had suffered a second severe burn very near the first burn on her leg,” the statement continued. “When Chyna reached out to Rob to find out what had happened to their daughter, Rob initially lied to Chyna and denied that Dream’s second burn happened at his home.” Rob’s former nanny then texted Chyna and admitted that Dream had received that injury, which Chyna later learned was “a second-degree burn,” from a lightbulb while in her care. At that point, Chyna contacted DCFS and the police to launch an investigation. Rob’s former nanny no longer works for him, and Chyna will have to approve the next child care provider he hires. “Chyna will do everything within her power to ensure Dream’s safety during her visitations with her father,” Ciani’s statement read. “Chyna still wants her daughter to be allowed visitations with her father. However, she also of course wants to ensure that Dream is never burned again (or injured by other neglectful conduct) while visiting her father.”

“The health, safety and well-being of Dream is and has always been Rob’s top priority,” Rob’s attorney, Marty Singer, said in response to Ciani’s statement.  He goes on to clarify that the former nanny left her job with Rob “at-will” due to her high-risk pregnancy. “Unfortunately Dream has had two accidents in the last month while with this nanny,” Singer admitted. “Rob treated Dream appropriately and Chyna was informed. Following an investigation by the DCFS and the police in which Rob fully cooperated, he has every reason to believe that there will be no findings of any safety issues in his home.” Singer also notes that Dream has been brought to Rob after spending time with Chyna with various undisclosed injuries on numerous occasions. “In his ongoing lawsuit for full custody of Dream, Rob has had grave concerns about his daughter’s safety in Chyna’s care, and is grateful for the brave witnesses who have come forward to testify regarding the danger [with] which Chyna presents their daughter in her home,” the statement read. Singer also criticizes Chyna for wasting “valuable public resources” in a “desperate attempt to smear Rob’s name.” Chyna and Rob were meant to appear in court to continue their custody case on March 24th, but the date has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Joseline Hernandez was an emotional wreck in a preview for the upcoming episode of Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition, in which the reality star is shown finding out that she had lost custody of her 3-year-old daughter, Bonnie Bella, to her baby daddy, Stevie J, while she was filming the show. In the sneak peak of Thursday’s episode, Joseline is sitting next to her boyfriend, Ballistic Beats, on their bed when she gets a phone call. She learns that Stevie J, with whom she’s had ongoing custody issues over Bonnie for quite some time, had been awarded full custody of the toddler. 

“They gave him custody, babe” she tells Ballistic through tears. “I don’t know what to do!” The psychiatrist and marriage counsellor on the series, Dr. Ish, who is watching the couple on through a camera in another room, then intervenes to comfort Joseline. While she’s hyperventilating, he reassures her, “there is no judge on this planet who wants to take the kid away from a mom who is fit. You are not an unfit mother.”

“It’s beyond a hard situation,” he continues. “And it makes you feel like you’re not doing your job as a mom, doesn’t it?” He goes on to tell that she just has to let the situation unfold and allow her daughter to go with Stevie for the time being. The moment, which was filmed months ago, was clearly devastating for Joseline. However, as we know now, the decision was only temporary, and Joseline was awarded primary custody of Bonnie again shortly after. She and Stevie are still in the midst of their custody battle to this day, and will reportedly go to trial in May to continue their custody case.

Kevin McCall went after his ex, Eva Marcille, on social media, claiming that she only has children so for financial gain through child support checks. The artist posted a screenshot of an article on his Instagram story that bore the title, “Child support is 18 years of easy money: Women reveal the REAL reasons why they’ve lied about being on the Pill – and many DON’T regret what they’ve done.” In the caption, he wrote, “Some women have children for a check….some of them out here working on baby number 3 and still talking about their Ex….having babies isn’t a career.”

He didn’t stop there, but instead posted another story sharing his own words in regards to the topic. “Stop using child support to help you maintain being a BABY Momma terrorist,” he ranted. “Its an easy check for 18 years I get it…but you on baby number 4 and complaining about your 1 st child .. are you hiding some strong feelings? If not focus on your two new babies and leave your old BABY DADDY ALONE HAHAA.” Of course, it’s fairly evident that Kevin’s sentiments are directed towards his baby mother, Eva Marcille, with whom he shares a daughter by the name of Marley Rae. The two of them were involved in a custody battle over Marley last year, which began when Kevin attempted to gain full custody of their daughter. Eva fired back, accusing him of being dangerous and never paying child support, and demanded that the case be dismissed. The custody arrangement remained in tact, and Eva even went on to legally change Marley’s last name from McCall to Sterling, the last name belonging to her current husband, Michael. Eva and Michael tied the knot back in 2018, and they recently welcomed their second child together. Kevin recently expressed interest in going to therapy with Eva, believing that it might solve their problems.

Keke Wyatt has allegedly been keeping her kids from seeing her ex-husband, Michael Ford, for 18 months, according to Michael himself. On Tuesday, the R&B singer’s ex shared a photo of their daughter, Ke’Yoshi Bella, on Instagram to wish her a happy fifth birthday. On the post, he exposed some pretty serious custody violations on Keke’s part, alleging that she has been in contempt of a court order by keeping all their kids away from him for the past year-and-a-half.

“Today is bittersweet for me as it’s your 5th Birthday Ke’Yoshi Bella,” Michael wrote on the adorable photo of his little girl when she was a baby. “It’s been 18 months since I last seen your beautiful energetic lil face in person and as bad as I wanna see you, hug you, kiss you, shower you with love, affection, and gifts i can’t because Unfortunately you’re being illegally withheld from me (along with my other babies) by someone who is in contempt of a legal court order.”

While the alleged situation is obviously very upsetting for him, he mentions that he has scheduled a court date to confront Keke about her actions. “God has allowed my strength, temperament, and patience to be tried and tested,” he continued. “However I know He is on the side of right and truth so the battle has already been won! I’ll see that person in court soon as a court date has already been set so hold on Bella daddy’s coming to get you baby and we’re definitely getting sugar wasted for your belated birthday party! With love Daddy.” Beyond revealing the alleged truth about Keke, he also cleared the air about some rumours about himself. Back in 2017, Keke accused Michael of abandoning her while she was 8-months pregnant with their child and their other child battled cancer. Someone in the comments of Michael’s recent post asked him to answer to these claims.

“Ummmm didn’t you leave your family tho while she was pregnant & dealing with the emotions of your child having cancer,” @breybee wrote. “It was above you when decide to leave right?” Michael replied to the comment, flat-out denying these rumours. “Umm no I didn’t and if you digested and believed any of those fabricated stories please check your level of discernment,” he wrote. “God Bless.” Keke ultimately got remarried to her current husband, Zachariah Darring, in 2018, and the two went on to have their first child together. Their son, Ke’Riah Darring, was born on January 6th earlier this year. Ke’Riah became Keke’s tenth child, though it is unclear how many were fathered by Michael and are, thus, being allegedly kept from him.

It looks like Chris Brown and his daughter Royalty’s mother, Nia Guzman, are on good terms, as they stood next to each other on the sidelines at Royalty’s soccer game to cheer their daughter on this week. Nia shared some clips on her Instagram story of Royalty in her jersey, hustling hard on the field and playing her heart out. After the game, Nia posted a shot of the daddy-daughter duo, with Chris playfully sticking his tongue out at his little girl with the caption “THE WINNERS” indicating Royalty’s team’s victory.

Though there does not appear to be any bad blood between the co-parents now, Chris and Nia did battle it out in court to negotiate the terms of custody terms for Royalty when they split. They currently share joint legal and physical custody of the 5-year-old, and after Nia requested more child support from the singer in 2018, he reportedly agreed to “significantly increase” the amount he owed each month.

While Chris and Nia work on maintaining a healthy and platonic co-parenting relationship, he and his other baby mama, Ammika Harris, may be more than just “on good terms.” It has been highly speculated that Chris and Ammika, who welcomed their son, Aeko, into the world in November, have been back together for a while now, though neither have officially confirmed their reconciled relationship. Despite the countless clues that the couple are back on, Chris was criticized just last week for posting what was perceived to be a very disrespectful meme toward Ammika.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard any news about Kevin McCall‘s legal troubles. Years ago, the singer-songwriter seemed to be at the top of his game as he worked with some major players in the music industry, but recently his arrests have overshadowed his accomplishments. McCall has been estranged from his daughter Marley Rae whom he shares with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Eva Marcille, and according to the model, her ex has never been in their daughter’s life.

Eva has openly spoken out about her relationship with McCall and the alleged physical abuse she endured while they were together. She had Marley’s last name changed to that of her husband Michael Sterling, a move that unsurprisingly displeased Kevin. On Thursday (February 27), Eva visited The Wendy Williams Show and talked about her ex.

“Marley doesn’t even know,” Eva admitted. “Marley has no idea… She just turned six and she’ll know at some point, but that’s my baby and that’s Mike’s baby and that’s our first kid. He raised her.” Wendy added that Eva’s husband is currently going through the legal process to formally adopt Marley as his own.

“We legally changed her name this past year. We went through a lot to do it,” Eva added. “The name change isn’t legal, so now we have to go through the adoption process and I mean, [Kevin] is making it a little bit easier for us, acting all crazy in the public. I knew it behind closed doors.” Eva explained that Kevin—or “Marley’s donor,” as she calls him—filed a lawsuit against her for custody of Marley, child support, and to change Marley’s last name back to McCall.

“He went to court to see the judge and [acted] a whole fool and fought a sheriff deputy, [tumbled] down an escalator…broke the man’s glasses,” Eva said of Kevin’s recent arrest. “He has three felony counts against him right now in Georgia and the judge threw out our case with prejudice so he cannot try to get custody of [Marley] again.” Watch Eva Marcille’s interview with The Wendy Williams Show below.

Ever since the passing of XXXTentacion nearly two years ago, his son Gekyume Onfroy has been the topic of many pressed conversations. The late Florida-born rapper never had a chance to meet his offspring. In fact, the world only learned about his little one days following his murder. Several questions have arisen regarding the paternity and custody situation of Geks, with X’s mother Cleopatra Bernard filing several legal claims against his baby mother, Jenesis Sanchez, to fight for the right to raise her grandson. Just a few days ago, a new suit was filed in court but it seems as though things have already been handled between both parties. According to The Blast, Sanchez and Bernard have reached a settlement.

New court documents point to a settlement between Cleopatra Bernard and Jenesis Sanchez regarding the custody agreement for Gekyume Onfroy. A note on the papers states that their agreement was “confidential” so it’s unlikely that information will ever leak out into the public. However, it’s nice to see this get resolved so quickly. There is no benefit in having Sanchez and Bernard fight over Gekyume. That’s not what X would have wanted.

XXXTentacion’s mother has become the primary source for all things pertaining to the rapper’s son. She has shared several photos of the growing boy, who looks more and more like his dad as he ages. 

A man is requesting that an Iowa court grant his motion for trial by combat in order to settle a custody battle dispute with his now ex-wife. 40-year-old, David Ostrom is claiming his ex-wife, Bridgette Ostrom, has ‘legally destroyed him’ in court documents obtained by the Des Moines Register.

According to Ostrom himself, his requested motion stems from his frustrations with his ex-wife’s attorney, Matthew J. Hudson. Ostrom has requested the Iowa District Court located in Shelby County provide him with a twelve-week notice so that both parties can obtain their katanas and traditional Japanese weaponry. Ostrom has also requested that his wife would be able to choose Hudson as a stand-in combatant or ‘champion.’ 

David Ostrom is quoted in court documents stating, “To this day, trial by combat has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States. The frustrated father also added that this method of handling legal disputes was utilized ‘as recently as 1818 in British Court.’

Bridgette Ostrom’s attorney in Hudson was forced to argue that the result of said samurai sword combat could potentially lead to death which is a far more worse outcome than any property tax or custody decision left in the hands of the court. Court documents have Hudson on record stating, “Although [Ostrom] and potential combatants do have souls to be rended, they respectfully request that the court not order this done.”

Hudson added, “It should be noted that just because the U.S. and Iowa constitutions do not specifically prohibit battling another person with a deadly katana sword, it does prohibit a court sitting in equity from ordering same.”

Hudson also took additional jabs at Ostrom the court suspend Ostrom’s visitation rights so that he may be psychologically evaluated. 

The Des Moines Register reached out to David telephone where he explained that he had come up with the idea of a swordfight after hearing a New York Supreme Court Justice acknowledge that duels had not been abolished during the case that took place in 2016. Ostrom closed out the conversation with the publication stating:

“If Mr. Hudson is willing to do it, I will meet him. I don’t think he has the guts to do it.” 

Mr. Ostrom’s request is currently pending a final decision by the Shelby County court. With how bizarre the justice and political climate has been as of late there’s no telling what the outcome of this motion may be.
