 The Wire actor Tray Chaney has revealed on Instagram that his 18-year-old son Malachi Chaney has been seriously injured after a tornado struck his home in Henry County, Georgia. Chaney fought through tears as he posted a somber video on Instagram and told his followers that his son is fighting for his life in the ICU.

“From me and my family My Wife & Son watching our house be built from the ground up to watching a tornado come through today at 3pm and tear it down!” Chaney’s post read. “From watching the smiles on my son face today to now going to go visit him in ICU. From watching my wife pull up from work to our house being gone….. no words.”

In his Instagram video, Chaney said his son was thrown 300 feet when the tornado struck their home.

 “I was sitting on my bed and I heard the wind and I felt everything,” the actor said, according to Bossip. “I wish I could replace the pain with my son. I wish he was the one doing the video and I was still in ICU.”

Chaney added that he lost everything in the tornado, including his home.

“Thank God I’m still living, I survived the tornado, but my son— he survived…,” he said. “I’m doing a video right now to let y’all know, cherish life as much as you can. “

Chaney also released another statement on Instagram detailing the horrific experience.

“I was unconscious with my face in the mud with parts of my house on top of me,” he said. “I woke up in a panic, crawled from under my house screaming my son’s name out.”

 After neighbors found his son in the woods, Chaney said his son was rushed to the hospital.

“Malachi is in the hospital fighting, and me and my wife have not and will not leave his side,” Chaney said. “I can’t get myself together right now—I wish it was me that was in ICU rather than him.”

The actor said he has own injuries from the tornado, but his son’s injuries are much worse.

“I will continue to update everyone with info on Malachi and how you can donate to our family once I have the information,” Chaney said.

What was the extent of the tornado damage in Henry County, Georgia?

According to 11 Alive, the tornado in Henry County damaged at least 13 structures. Drivers on the highway recorded the funnel clouds as the storm continued to intensify.

“I happened to look out our sliding glass door and I saw a rotation start forming literally in my backyard,” Laurel Creek resident Courtney Bucio told 11 Alive. “I just ran for the closet and covered my head.”

Zion Williamson is facing a lawsuit from his former girlfriend, who says the NBA star committed “sexual, physical, emotional, and financial” abuse against her, per Front Office Sports.

The woman, who is only identified as Jane Doe from Seattle, said Williamson abused her continuously for five years starting from 2018 while he was still playing at Duke. According to the lawsuit, the abuse took place in Louisiana and multiple other states.

What are the details stated in the lawsuit against Zion Williamson?

In the 12-page lawsuit, Jane Doe said Williamson showed disturbing behavior in September 2020 when they were spending time in a rented Beverly Hills home. Detailing one alleged incident, the woman said Williamson told her that she can’t go to sleep without having sex with him.” Jane Doe added that Williamson called her “stuck up” and a “b***h,” then pinned her “down on the bed with her hands behind her back and raped her” as she told him no. The New Orleans Pelicans star allegedly threw his girlfriend’s phone across the room, choked her and “yelled at her for ‘talking too much.’”

A month later, Williamson allegedly raped Jane Doe again because he was “very angry” after she told she wants to go to San Diego to see a friend. The lawsuit states that Williamson threw things in the home, pinned the woman to the ground, violently raped her in multiple ways and later took away her phone and laptop.

The lawsuit adds that Williamson had other instances of “suffocating and/or smothering” Jane Doe and “violently striking” her with his hands or kicking her. He also threatened to have his security guard shoot Jane Doe and kill her parents. Additionally, Williamson caused injuries, filmed the woman without consent and threatened her with revenge porn when when she wanted to leave him, the complaint states.

The lawsuit points to numerous allegations of raping and strangling Jane Doe in Louisiana in 2022. He also pointed a loaded gun at the woman, slammed a car door into her head, entered her apartment to steal her belongings, tracked her location and followed her home from work without her knowledge. There are “other acts of criminal violence that will be shown at trial,” the complaint adds.

What did the lawyer of Zion Williamson’s ex-girlfriend say about the lawsuit?

Doe’s attorney Mark Lanier told Front Office Sports that they will not speak to the media at this time, but his client is ready to fight for justice.

“We and our client do not want to litigate this case in the press,” Lanier told Front Office Sports. “However, I will say this is a very serious case as reflected in the Complaint filed in Los Angeles County. Our client looks forward to her day in court before a jury of her peers to obtain justice in this matter.”

Williamson is facing charges of assault, battery, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, domestic violence, stalking, burglary, false imprisonment and conversion. Jane Doe is seeking unspecified damages.

Smokey Robinson and his wife Frances Robinson have taken legal action against the four women who filed a lawsuit accusing the music icon of rape and sexual assault.

As Blavity reported, the four women are former employees and they filed a $50 million lawsuit against Robinson on May 6. The civil action includes 16 claims against the 85-year-old for repeatedly sexually assaulting each woman at his residences for several years.

All four women’s accounts of the events were similar, stating that Robinson wanted them to bathe and lie on top of a towel before he physically engaged with them. Additionally, they alleged that his wife was aware of what Robinson was doing and turned a blind eye to it. Court documents mention that Frances underpaid the housekeepers and subjected them to a “hostile work environment,” according to Deadline. 

Smokey Robinson’s $500M countersuit claims defamation and elderly abuse

Robinson is now under criminal investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for rape, sexual assault and creating a hostile work environment charges. The couple is now countersuing the plaintiffs in a $500 million defamation and elder abuse proceeding.

“The Robinsons did not abuse, harm or take advantage of plaintiffs; they treated plaintiffs with the utmost kindness and generosity,” the May 28-filed litigation stated, Deadline reported. “Unfortunately, the depths of plaintiffs’ avarice and greed knows no bounds.”

The Robinsons and their lawyer, Christopher Frost, revealed that the women kept increasing the price of their lawsuit. They initially wanted $1 million but then raised the dollar amount to $100 million in exchange for not pursuing the “fabricated” complaint. When their inquiry was denied, they then demanded $50 million.

Robinson says the false stories have heavily affected his long-standing career. He alleges that his latest album, What The World Needs Now, has also been impacted as a result of the allegations.

Smokey Robinson fires back by accusing the plaintiffs of stealing from his home

The day the four women took their civil case to court, they also held a press conference with their attorneys at Hayden & Harris. In response, the Robinsons had no choice but to engage in legal combat. In a separate claim, they’re hoping to have the plaintiff’s lawsuit dismissed. 

“Because of Plaintiffs’ slanderous statements, the Robinsons had no choice but to seek legal relief,” the motion mentions. “Plaintiffs may be able to make slanderous statements in a legal pleading (for now), but they are not entitled to do so in gratuitous, self-serving press conferences.”

The countersuit lists various forms of support the Robinsons claim to have provided the women, ranging from dental care to cars, while also implying that they took advantage of their generosity.

“Shortly after the Plaintiffs left their jobs, Ms. Robinson discovered that several of her financial records (including bank statements) were missing,” as detailed in the 10-claim countersuit. “At least one Plaintiff had access to and knew exactly where these records were kept.” 

Continuing in that direction, the filing alleges: “As a result of their roles as household staff, they had particular knowledge of where the Robinsons’ valuables were kept, including a hidden safe and gold Krugerrands. That safe and the valuables it contained and several gold Kruggerands were later stolen by someone who knew precisely where they were located. The Robinsons reported the theft to the police.”

The four accusers have not yet responded to Robinson’s countersuit.

In yet another high-profile act of clemency, President Donald Trump has pardoned rapper NBA Youngboy. The move, clearing a federal gun charge that sent the rapper to prison last year, comes in a week that has seen Trump use his clemency power on several high-profile individuals.

NBA Youngboy announces pardon: ‘This moment means a lot’

Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, who performs under the stage name NBA Youngboy, posted on Instagram Wednesday to thank Trump for pardoning him; the White House later confirmed the pardon.

“I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist,” Gaulden said in the post. “This moment means a lot. It opens the door to a future I’ve worked hard for and I am fully prepared to step into this.” Gaulden also thanked his lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, and Alice Marie Johnson, whose sentence Trump commuted during his first term and who now serves as Trump’s “pardon czar.”

The rapper was sentenced to prison in 2024 on charges of possessing firearms despite being a convicted felon. He has already completed the prison term and home confinement that were parts of his sentence. The pardon, however, means he’ll no longer have to abide by probation terms such as mandatory drug testing, and the criminal conviction will be cleared from his record.

Trump’s history of granting clemency

Trump issued pardons or commutations to several hip-hop figures at the end of his first term in office, including rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. During both terms in office, Trump has also issued pardons to several of his supporters, including most of those convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

The move to wipe out NBA Youngboy’s conviction is the latest of several high-profile pardons Trump issued over the past few days. On Monday, Trump posted a video of a call to the family of Todd and Julie Chrisley, formerly stars of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, to inform them that he was pardoning the couple of their federal fraud convictions; the Chrisleys were released from prison on Wednesday following the pardon. Also, on Wednesday, Trump announced that he was commuting the federal sentence of former Gangster Disciples gang leader Larry Hoover. However, Hoover remains in prison to serve a 200-year state sentence on murder charges.

So far, the list of people who have received clemency from Trump this week is an unusual assortment of figures. Given the president’s past practices, it’s likely that we’ll see even more pardons during his term, though who he’ll pardon next and when remain mysteries to the public.

Donald Trump has commuted former Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, who was serving a life sentence at a Colorado prison after being convicted of murder and several other federal charges. According to ABC News, the White House confirmed the news on Wednesday.

Hoover was serving a 200-year sentence on state charges in Illinois for murdering 19-year-old William “Pooky” Young, who was a drug dealer in his neighborhood. As he was also convicted of federal charges in 1997, Hoover was sentenced to six life terms. The federal charges included conspiracy and extortion, as well as running a criminal enterprise from prison, NBC Chicago reported.

What’s next for Larry Hoover now that Trump commuted his sentence?

While Hoover is now set to be released from federal custody, he is still required to serve his 200-year sentence in Illinois. According to CBS News, it’s not clear how soon Hoover will be released from federal custody.

What are Larry Hoover’s attorneys saying after Trump commuted his sentence?

Attorney Justin Moore expressed relief on X, formerly Twitter, by writing: “After nearly 30 years in federal solitary and over 50 years behind bars, Larry Hoover has been granted executive clemency by President Trump. His federal life sentence is over. Justice, mercy, and redemption prevailed. The fight continues—but today, we celebrate.”

Per CBS News, Moore also released a statement along with attorney Jennifer Bonjean: “The Courts have demonstrated a complete unwillingness to consider Mr. Hoover’s considerable growth and complete rehabilitation. Despite the Court’s unwillingness to do the right thing, Mr. Hoover has been able to keep his voice alive through the incredible work of many advocates and supporters. Thankfully, Mr. Hoover’s pleas were heard by President Trump who took action to deliver justice for Mr. Hoover.”
