Meek Mill is standing in business when it comes domestic abuse. He has dropped his artist Vory after a clip of him threatening his girlfriend has leaked.
As reported by Hip-Hop N More the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania MC has made it clear he is no longer associated with the Lost Souls rapper. On Tuesday, Feb 13 a clip appeared online showing him making some very scary threats and physically intimidating her. The video, which appears to be security footage captured at his home, shows him talking very reckless to her and then approaching her in a menacing fashion.
The woman took to Instagram Story and called Vory out directly. “@Vory you are a disgusting person, you want to paint me out to be this ‘whore’ / bad person. When it’s you!!” she wrote. “I don’t want to be with you or take your Valentine’s Day gift or spend time with you as a family because of all this sh*t you’ve put me through for TWO years so you go on social media and tell lies and try to spread this false narrative.”
As expected the leak quickly went viral drawing disgust and awe on X, formerly known as Twitter. Meek Mill soon acknowledged the situation on X and announced Vory is no longer on his record label. “This guy is not a dream chaser! He has a mental problem! We cutting ties we don’t care how ya music sound,” Meek wrote. “He been ducking my calls for months telling people I’m threatening him… stopped alot of people dude he is not dreamchaser!”
Vory signed with to Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers Entertainment back in 2020. He has yet to publicly address footage.

Two women who have been previously involved with Jonathan Majors have now come forward publicly with allegations of abuse by the movie star.
A new report from the New York Times released on Thursday (Feb. 8) has revealed that two former girlfriends of actor Jonathan Majors have come forward to publicly accuse him of abuse. Emma Duncan, who was engaged to Majors from 2015 to 2019, and Maura Hooper who dated Majors from 2013 to 2015 are the women who made their claims to the press. The allegations come two months after the former Marvel actor was convicted in New York on charges of reckless assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari stemming from an incident last March.
The women initially gave accounts of their experiences with him in interviews and statements delivered to the court before Majors’ trial under the Molineux rule which allowed the court to determine if the prosecution could submit evidence to show a past pattern of behavior. Duncan stated that Majors was emotionally abusive during their relationship, and had also choked and bruised her at several points in addition to making disturbing threats against her. Priya Chaudhry, Majors’ defense attorney, said in a statement that Majors denied those acts but also said he was “choosing to take responsibility for his own part in that toxic relationship, focusing on himself, and addressing his lifelong depression.”
Hooper’s statement also contained allegations of emotional abuse directed towards her by Majors while they were students at the Yale School of Drama, including one instance where he told her he’d “rip you out of my heart the way they ripped our baby out of you” about an abortion she had months into their relationship. Chaudhry’s statement says that Majors remembers the “mutually intense conversations” but “regrets saying hurtful things.” Ultimately, the court didn’t allow the statements to be entered into evidence.
In separate statements to the New York Times, two women who worked on the set of HBO’s Lovecraft Country with Majors in 2019 delivered statements of their confrontational experiences with Majors which made for a “hostile work environment.” Multiple women crew members had complained to higher-ups at the network about his behavior, forcing HBO to compel him to deliver an apology to the women, which he reportedly did so gruffly, saying it was “a misunderstanding.” Chaudhry said that Majors had “never been told that anyone objected to his behavior.”

Days after Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, co-signed Cassie’s story about Diddy’s abusive ways, the man is seemingly walking back his statements and “clarifying” his initial remarks.
Over the weekend, Diddy’s former head of security, Roger Bonds, took to Instagram to backtrack on his previous statements in which he spoke about having to break up fights between Diddy and Cassie. He explained that what he saw was actually more in-tune with everyday relationship problems that couples go through. Sure, guy.
Sitting in his car and once again opening up about the Diddy and Cassie situation, Bonds went on to clarify what he meant when speaking about what he witnessed just days before stating: “This ain’t about nothin’ yo. I seen Cassie and Diddy fight. Yeah, I seen them fight—just like everybody else fight. Just like I fight. Just like y’all fight with your man and y’all fight with your girl.”
This isn’t suspicious at all…
The post comes days after Roger appeared to co-sign Cassie’s abuse allegations against Diddy and insinuated that he had witnessed more than what the general public knew.
Why Roger Bonds would feel the need to suddenly change his tune on the situation and try to downplay the seriousness of what he stated earlier is anyone’s guess. But it seems like he’s distancing himself from anything that could make Diddy look bad, so don’t be surprised if the man never speaks on this situation again.
Check out Bonds try to clean up his own words in the clip below, and let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments section below.

Keke Palmer and her baby daddy’s alleged abuse towards her is now on full blast, and even her mother, Sharon Palmer, has entered the chat. As you may have heard, the actress reportedly filed for a restraining order against Darius Jackson, and her mother took to social media to slam the baby daddy’s brother.
Sharon Palmer took to Instagram to basically call Jackson an abuser with her whole chest but she had all the smoke for the guy’s brother, actor Sarunas Jackson aka the tall light skin dude from Insecure. Sarunas posted, and deleted, a message defending his allegedly abusive brother (which as all things social media, never really gets deleted).
“The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative person I have EVER encountered in my entire life… Abuses almost everyone. Y’all will see.. Just send positive energy to the babies… Any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it AT ALL. Wow. So damn sad,” wrote Jackson.
Well, mom dukes caught wind and was not having it.
“I’ve never done anything like this,” she began in her video message. “I’ve been in this business for 22 years. I’ve seen a lot of stuff, but I can’t help myself. For Sarunas Jackson to post on his Twitter the ridiculous stuff that he’s posting when he knew his brother was abusive… I went to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that his brother was abusive to my daughter, and he said, ‘Oh, well, I used to be like that too.’ What?! So now, he’s posting on Twitter like he’s this uh…special guy? We know he’s the biggest f*ck boy in Hollywood. He’s disrespectful to women, just like his little brother. He taught his brother how to be abusive. So, he doesn’t get to act like he’s this special guy. No, you’re a f*ck boy, and you’re a part of the problem!”
Jackson is of course denying any of Momma Palmer’s allegations.
Social media court is in session, and it’s getting hot, and receipts are being dug up. The irony often being cited is that Jackson was one of the only celebs to call out Trey Songz over the singer’s own abuse allegations. Also being noted is that Amanda Seales recently called out what she considered the “tacky” behavior of Darius and Saruans Jackson.
We compiled some of the more poignant takes in the gallery.

Gunplay will now have to spend time with his only child virtually. He recently lost custody to his newborn daughter after his wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, filed domestic abuse claims.
TMZ is reporting that the rapper received some bad news this week. On Monday (Oct. 9), a judge thought that it would be in the child’s best interest if the “Rollin’” MC not be around her. Thus, the magistrate ruled against him and mandated that his interaction with the baby be done strictly through the internet. According to the celebrity gossip website, he will engage with his princess through an app called TalkingParents.
According to the company’s website, the platform “is now a leader in the space where technology and the law intersect and continues to look toward the future and develop new ways for co-parents to focus on what matters most – raising their children.”
WSVN reports that Gunplay and his now estranged wife Vonshae Taylor-Morales got into an altercation upon returning to their Miami home after dinner on Aug 20. Apparently the MMG man born Richard Morales was playing video games at an excessive volume while the baby slept, prompting his better half to ask him to turn it down.
This is when things seemingly went left and Gunplay allegedly started hurling glass cups and bottles at Vonshae. He is also accused of grabbing an automatic rifle and pointing it at her. Luckily she was able to exit the property with the baby to her parents home. Local police were eventually called and arrested Gunplay at his house.
Vonshae is also requesting child support; if granted, the amount will be set at court. Gunplay has yet to comment on the matter.

Six months after the initial incident, Jonathan Majors’ trial for domestic abuse has been delayed again.
On Wednesday (September 6th), Majors appeared via video conference link as his legal team of Priya Chaudhry and Seth Zuckerman were in a New York courtroom along with Assistant District Attorney Kelli Galaway. While the prosecution declared that they were ready for trial (their expressed unreadiness at an August hearing caused the previous delay), Zuckerman stated: “We have written to the prosecutor regarding deficiencies” which were listed in a certificate of compliance filed with the court by the DA’s office and said they were “not yet ready”.
Judge Rachel S. Pauley heard from the prosecution and defense, who said they were still in communication on the issue. The judge then set a new date of September 15 for the trial, addressing the Creed III actor to let him know that he would have to be present for the trial once it begins. “Between now and the next court date no contact whatsoever with the complainant in this case, and stay in touch with your attorneys,” she told him before saying, “Good luck.” Majors responded, “Yes ma’am.” The hearing was short, and Harlem actress Meagan Good (who accompanied Majors to his previous hearing) was also absent from the courtroom.
Once a rising star, Jonathan Majors has seen his opportunities dissipate after being arrested in March on charges of harassment, strangulation, and assault of his then 30-year-old girlfriend as part of a domestic dispute. Chaudhry told the press at that time that the Lovecraft Country actor was“completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows”.”
He was dropped by his 360 Entertainment management company and the Lede Company PR team in April. He also had been dropped from ad campaigns such as the Army’s recent launch that month, and other film opportunities were pulled. Majors is still signed on with Marvel and is slated to appear in the second season of Loki, which will air in October on Disney Plus, and in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, as Kang The Conqueror.

Moriah Mills is back in the headlines this week after being suspended on Twitter for abusing the terms and conditions of the site while centering her former romantic partner, Zion Williamson. In a new social media clip, Moriah Mills claimed that Williamson physically abused her but Twitter is casting some doubt on her accusation.
Moriah Mills took to her TikTok page on Friday (July 15) to share a video explaining that Williamson allegedly paid her hush money to keep details of the physical abuse she claims to have suffered from the public view. It is the first time Mills has made such a claim, this after she has maintained a hot and cold stance on the 22-year-old New Orleans Pelicans star.
Via her now-suspended Twitter account, Mills shared intimate details of her relationship with Williamson after the player and the mother of his child did a public gender reveal via social media. Mills says she was blindsided by the news and aired out Williamson’s dirty laundry while also attacking Concrete Rose, the woman carrying their daughter.
With the TikTok video making its rounds on social media, folks are calling into question the timing of Mills’ message, who also says she’s expecting a child with Williamson. While domestic violence claims are never a laughing matter and should be investigated as the crime that it is, many on Twitter think this is a ploy on the part of Mills to shame Williamson into taking responsibility for reportedly wronging her and misrepresenting their romantic connection.
On Twitter, folks are reacting to the new Moriah Mills video claiming that Zion Williamson physically abused her. We’ve got the reactions below.
