Family

Los seres queridos de Derek Chauvin siguen en la oscuridad sobre lo que llevó exactamente a que fuera apuñalado en prisión y sobre su condición actual, por lo cual están furiosos, de acuerdo con su abogado.

El abogado Gregory M. Erickson, quien representa a Chauvin, le comentó a TMZ que la familia inmediata aún no sabe absolutamente nada sobre el apuñalamiento de Chauvin, incluyendo cómo sucedió y quién lo hizo.

Erickson comenta que habló con uno de los parientes de Chauvin el lunes y que un funcionario de la prisión se puso en contacto con el padre de Chauvin para confirmar que estaba en condición estable, pero no se proporcionaron más detalles, lo que frustra a la familia.

Desde luego, los medios de comunicación se han centrado en la historia y la familia ha tenido actualizarse por medio de los informes de noticias, lo cual Erickson afirma ser injusto y cruel.

Nos comenta que señala directamente al centro federal en Tucson, Arizona, donde Chauvin está actualmente detenido, por ser lento en actualizar a sus familiares más cercanos y por la falta de transparencia en general.

No solo eso, Erickson menciona que la prisión debería haber evitado que ocurriera este apuñalamiento en primer lugar, señalando a Chauvin como la persona bajo custodia más conocida desde, posiblemente, O.J. Simpson, y que cualquier otro recluso que se acercara a él debería haber sido mantenido a raya, si no es que completamente cacheado para asegurarse de que las armas se mantuvieran lejos.

Desde el apuñalamiento del viernes… Gregory añade que ha intentado comunicarse con los funcionarios de la prisión 8 veces, todas sin éxito. En cuanto a los próximos pasos, Erickson alega que él y la familia evaluarán sus opciones legales si no obtienen más respuestas pronto… pero no está claro cuáles podrían ser.

Un representante de la Oficina de Prisiones se negó a discutir la situación de Chauvin por razones de privacidad/seguridad, pero señaló "podemos informarle en general que la Agencia Federal de Prisiones se toma en serio nuestro deber de proteger a las personas confiadas bajo nuestra custodia, así como mantener la seguridad de los empleados correccionales y la comunidad".

D.L. Hughley's advising T.I. and Tiny's son, King, to listen to a voice of reason, and understand why his meltdown during an Atlanta Falcons game is "embarrassing" to his parents.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with D.L. Monday at LAX, where he called King's outburst -- insisting he grew up half-poor -- absolutely "insulting" to Tip and Tiny's lifetime accomplishments.

ICYMI, King ended up in his father's headlock inside their luxury suite at Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- the end result of King claiming he knew about the trap life from growing up at his grandmother's house, and even experienced roaches crawling on his face.

D.L. says King grew up a reality star via VH1's "The Family Hustle," and says any roaches he encountered were actually paid actors!!!

As a father himself, D.L. thinks King's words cut even deeper than they seemed in the video. He says all decent parents take pride in their kids being fed and clean, and D.L. says King's childhood passes that test with flying colors.

D.L. tells us his own kids wouldn't dream of spewing any such disrespect -- he says they're older and know better.

King was still fuming on social media -- a day after squaring off with his parents -- but D.L. is certain he'll eventually come around and see how silly this all is.

Derek Chauvin's loved ones remain in the dark over what exactly led to him getting stabbed in prison as well as his current condition -- and they're furious over it ... so says his lawyer.

Attorney Gregory M. Erickson -- who reps Chauvin -- tells TMZ the guy's immediate family still knows absolutely nothing about Chauvin's stabbing ... including how it happened and who did it.

Erickson says he spoke to one of Chauvin's relatives Monday ... and tells us a prison official contacted Chauvin's father to confirm he was in stable condition -- but no further details were provided whatsoever, which is frustrating the family.

Obviously, the media has been all over the story ... and the family has had to get their updates from news reports, which Erickson says is unjust and cruel.

He tells us he points the finger directly at the federal facility in Tucson, AZ -- where Chauvin is currently being held -- for being slow to the draw on updating his next of kin ... and for a lack of transparency in general.

Not just this ... but Erickson says the prison should've prevented this stabbing from happening in the first place -- noting Chauvin is the most high-profile person in custody since, arguably, O.J. Simpson ... and that any other inmate getting near him should've been kept at bay -- if not completely frisked to make sure weapons stayed far away.

Since the stabbing Friday ... Gregory adds he's attempted to contact prison officials 8 times, to no avail. As far as next steps -- Erickson says he and the family will weigh their legal options if they don't get more answers soon ... but it's unclear what those may be.

A Bureau of Prisons rep refused to discuss Chauvin's situation for privacy/safety/security reasons. But, they noted to us ... "we can inform you generally that the Federal Bureau of Prisons takes seriously our duty to protect the individuals entrusted in our custody, as well as maintain the safety of correctional employees and the community."

T.I. dio inicio a la celebración del 50 aniversario del hip-hop de los Atlanta Falcons el domingo, y casi termina a golpes con su hijo King cuando una disputa familiar en las gradas se volvió física.

Después del show, T.I. y King comenzaron con un intercambio juguetón que rápidamente se convirtió en un altercado físico dentro de su suite en el estadio Mercedes-Benz.

King comenzó a transmitir en vivo por Instagram donde defendió que sabía sobre dificultades como vivir con cucarachas mientras crecía… a lo que sus famosos padres se burlaron y afirmaron que iba a casa de su abuela a chupar su chupete, ¡porque no se le permitía hacerlo en su mansión!

King llegó al límite y comenzó a gritar que era conocido por ser un emprendedor, momento en el que T.I. intervino y le dijo que no solo estaba “avergonzando” a la familia, sino también a sí mismo.

King le suplicó a T.I. que ‘lo soltara’ y se puede ver a T.I. intentando calmar a su hijo.

Al parecer, tuvo éxito… T.I. sujetó a King en una llave de lucha y le dijo: “No puedes hacer nada conmigo, no hay una mierda que puedas hacer conmigo”, mientras varias personas en el fondo le suplicaban a King que se detuviera antes de que la cámara se apagara.

Más adelante, King se desahogó un poco en sus historias de Instagram, aunque muchos de sus seguidores comentaron que estaba exagerando y que sus padres tenían razón.

King nació en 2004; T.I. ya había lanzado su álbum de platino “Trap Muzik” y formado su sello discográfico Grand Hustle Records.

T.I. kicked off the Atlanta Falcons' 50th anniversary of Hip Hop celebration Sunday, and almost wound up kicking his son King's ass when a family dispute in the stands got physical.

Following the performance, T.I. and King engaged in what started as a playful back-and-forth but quickly spiraled into a physical altercation inside their suite at Mercedes-Benz stadium.

King began live streaming on IG where he pleaded his case that he knew about hardships like living with roaches while growing up ... to which his famous parents scoffed at his story and claimed he'd run to his grandmother's house to suck the pacifier, because he wasn't allowed to in their mansion!!!

King reached his breaking point and began to scream he's known for standing on business, to which T.I. stepped in and told him he was not only "embarrassing" the family but himself as well!!!

King can then be heard pleading for T.I. to "get off him" and you can see T.I. come into frame in an attempt to subdue his son.

He apparently succeeded ... T.I. secured King in a headlock and told him, "Boy you can't do nothing with me ... ain't shit you can do with me" as multiple people in the background can be heard pleading for King to stop before the camera cuts off.

Afterward, King blew off some steam on his IG stories although many of his followers informed him he was royally tripping and his parents were right.

King was born in 2004 -- T.I. had already released his platinum-selling "Trap Muzik" album and formed his Grand Hustle Records.

Taylor Swift tuvo unos invitados muy especiales en su concierto del domingo en Brasil... la familia de la mujer que recientemente falleció mientras asistía a su espectáculo en Río de Janeiro.

Un video publicado en X mostró a cinco familiares de Ana Clara Benevides Machado disfrutando de la actuación de Taylor dentro de una carpa VIP en el estadio Allianz Parque en São Paulo la noche anterior.

Todos los familiares lucían camisetas con el rostro de Ana, incluso su padre, Weiny.

Una fuente le mencionó a la revista People que Taylor invitó a la familia a su show del domingo y se tomó una foto grupal con ellos. La imagen fue posteriormente publicada en X.

Tal como informamos, Ana se encontraba en el concierto de Taylor en el Estadio Olímpico Nilton Santos en Río el 17 de noviembre, cuando comenzó a sentirse mal durante una ola de calor. La fanática de 23 años fue llevada de urgencia a un hospital, donde fue declarada muerta.

Taylor Swift hosted some special guests at her Sunday concert in Brazil … the family of the woman who recently died attending her Rio de Janeiro show.

Video posted to X showed five relatives of Ana Clara Benevides Machado enjoying Taylor’s performance from inside a VIP tent at Allianz Parque stadium in São Paulo last evening.

The kin were all sporting t-shirts emblazoned with Ana’s face, including her dad, Weiny.

A source told People magazine Taylor invited the family to her Sunday show and took a group photo with them. The picture was later posted to X.

As we reported, Ana was attending Taylor's concert at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium in Rio on November 17, when she began feeling sick during a heat wave. The 23-year-old fan was rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Before this blonde kiddo bundled up in her beanie and purple jacket turned into a singer and actress, she was just braving the winter weather in Bainbridge Island, Washington with her older sister and shining bright as a child star!

Her claim to fame was on Disney's "Liv and Maddie" where she starred for four seasons, and, now a brunette, she showcases all her glitz and beauty to her 48 million Instagram followers. In 2016, she played Amber Von Tussle on "Hairspray Live".

You may have seen her in the 'Marvel Rising' franchise.

Tom Brady se encuentra en su papel de padre en este momento -- llevando a los niños al mar... solo un par de días después de que su madre, Gisele, los llevara a Centroamérica acompañada de ese tipo de jiu-jitsu con el que siempre está.

El mariscal de campo retirado de la NFL publicó varias fotos de él y sus pequeños el domingo, donde están en un barco y se sumergen en el océano con equipo para buceo. Subtituló su publicación: "Hice inviernos en Michigan y Massachusetts durante mucho tiempo. Déjame tener esto."

Las fotos que lanzó son superlindas... pero definitivamente agregó una trampa de sed, que lo muestra frente a la cámara y completamente sin camisa. Sí, el tipo está marcado aquí.

No hay señal de su hijo mayor, Jack... pero podemos ver a sus otros 2 hijos -- que comparte con Gisele -- al frente y al centro y listos para bucear. Había otra niña en el grupo también, pero no está claro quién es ella. En ese caso, si echas un vistazo a su IG, al parecer hay langosta para cenar.

Ahora, lo que es interesante de esta excursión es el hecho de que Gisele se llevó a los 3 niños -- incluido Jack -- en un viaje a principios de esta semana. Fueron fotografiados en Costa Rica disfrutando de las vacaciones... con nada menos que Joaquim Valente también.

Gisele y Joaquim han tenido varias escapadas juntos este año... y, algunas veces, ella y los hijos de Tom los han acompañado. Parece ser que se está convirtiendo en algo habitual.

Además de la apariencia obvia de que Gisele y Joaquim son pareja... ella lo ha negado, diciendo que él solo es un amigo cercano de la familia que los entrena a todos.

Es difícil saber si alguien se lo cree... francamente, nadie tiende a salir en "jet-set" con su instructor de jiu-jitsu para salidas familiares íntimas como ésta, mes tras mes. Sea como sea... en este momento, es el tiempo de Tom con sus hijos -- y está aprovechándolo al máximo.

Tom Brady is on dad time right now -- taking his kids out to sea ... just a few days after their mom, Gisele, flew 'em out to Central America with that jiu-jitsu guy she's always with.

The retired NFL quarterback posted a bunch of photos of him and his little ones Sunday, where they're on a boat and diving into the ocean with snorkeling gear on. He captioned his post, "I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time. Let me have this."

The pics he threw up are super cute ... but he definitely added one thirst trap, which features him facing the camera and completely shirtless. Yeah, the dude's ripped here.

No sign of his eldest son, Jack ... but we can see his other 2 kids -- whom he shares with Gisele -- front and center and ready to dive. There was another little girl in the mix too, but it's unclear who she is. In any case, if you peep his IG, looks like lobster's for dinner.

Now, what's interesting about this excursion is the fact that Gisele took these same children on a trip just earlier this week. They were photographed down in Costa Rica enjoying a vacation ... with none other than Joaquim Valente tagging along as well.

Gisele and Joaquim have been on a lot of getaways together this year ... and at times, her and Tom's children have joined them. It seems like that's becoming a regular thing now.

Despite the obvious appearance of Gisele and Joaquim being a couple ... she's denied any such thing, saying he's simply a close friend of the family who coaches them all up.

Hard to say if anyone's really buying that ... frankly, nobody tends to jet set with their jiu-jitsu instructor for intimate family outings like this, month in and month out. Whatever though ... right now, it's Tom's time with the kiddos -- and he's making the most out of it.

La hija de Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, ha sido una constante en casi todos los conciertos de su gira 'Renaissance' este año -- y ha mejorado su forma en el escenario... todo gracias a los detractores.

Tras el estreno de la película de su concierto este fin de semana, el NYT hizo una reseña de la película y citó a Queen Bay diciendo... la colaboración de BI en la gira tenía la finalidad de ser temporal únicamente, un acuerdo de una sola vez... pero se convirtió en constante después de que su hija se retractara.

Y añadió: "Aunque al final cedió, Beyoncé se sintió consternada cuando Blue Ivy leyó los comentarios en las redes sociales que criticaban sus deslucidos movimientos. Pero emocionó a su madre que, en lugar de renunciar, decidió esforzarse y entrenar aún más duro para futuras paradas".

Esta noticia ha causado gran revuelo en las redes sociales... la mitad de Twitter está indignada de que tanta gente criticara brutalmente a la niña de 11 años al principio de la gira, pero otros están haciendo uso de esto como prueba de la resiliencia/talento de Blue Ivy -- porque es una mucho mejor bailarina ahora.

Han circulado por Internet imágenes de su actuación, de sus actuaciones en Europa ... y sí, se puede observar una gran diferencia entre su actuación en aquel entonces y la de los últimos conciertos.

El debate ahora se concentra en si la dura evaluación de sus habilidades en aquel momento estaban justificadas o no -- algunos piensan que BI se merecía el 100 % de las críticas que recibió, argumentando que si se pone bajo los reflectores (junto a su madre, nada menos) es un juego limpio. Otros piensan que la niña se merecía un respiro.

Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, has been a fixture at just about all of her "Renaissance" tour concerts this year -- and she's upped her onstage game ... all thanks to the haters.

In the wake of her concert film's premiere this weekend, the NYT reviewed the film and quoted Queen Bey as saying ... BI's involvement with the tour was meant to just be a temporary, one-off deal ... but became a regular thing after her kid pushed back.

They add, "Though she finally relented, Beyoncé was dismayed when Blue Ivy read comments on social media that criticized her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops."

This news has caused quite a stir on social media ... half of Twitter is outraged that so many people were brutally criticizing the 11-year-old early on in the tour, but others are using this as proof that Blue Ivy's resilient/talented -- 'cause she's a way better dancer now.

Footage from her May outings in Europe has been making the rounds online ... and yes, you can see a major difference in how she performed then compared to recent shows.

The debate now is whether the harsh assessments of her skills at the time were warranted or not -- some think BI 100% deserved the flak she got, arguing that if she steps into the spotlight (next to her mom, no less) it's fair game. Others think the girl deserved a break.

Derek Chauvin's family is angry they learned from the media their imprisoned son was stabbed and not from prison officials.

Carolyn Pawlenty, the mother of the cop who murdered George Floyd, told Alpha News, "How the hell do these news agencies know and his own mother doesn't even know?" She adds the prison had an emergency contact number -- her number -- but no one called.

She went on ... “I can’t even think what to say. I haven’t been to bed and made a path in my kitchen and living room floor by pacing."

Chauvin’s attorney, Bill Mohrman, says he got involved and tried calling the prison for information but hasn't heard back.

And another Chauvin lawyer, Gregory M. Erickson, slammed prison officials for its radio silence ... “It appears to be indicative of a poorly run facility and indicates how Derek’s assault was allowed to happen.”

Erickson added, “How the family members who are in charge of Derek’s decisions regarding his personal medical care and his emergency contact were not informed after his stabbing further indicates the institution’s poor procedures and lack of institutional control.”

As we reported ... Chauvin was stabbed in the federal prison in Arizona where he is currently serving a nearly 21-year sentence after pleading guilty to a federal charge of violating Floyd's civil rights.

Chauvin is in stable condition after he was assaulted Friday at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson. The stabbing was reportedly carried out by another inmate.

Hit-Boy's facing steep competition, but likes his chances to snag "Producer of the Year" at the upcoming Grammy Awards, because he says he's put in enough work to bring it home, baby!!!

We caught up with the newly nominated HB out in West Hollywood to chat about his potentially big moment, and his competition. Jack Antonoff, Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II, Daniel Nigro and Metro Boomin -- who Hit called out early this year -- are his fellow nominees.

HB tells us he thinks his recent spree of accolades should secure him the win, but also won't be totally crushed if he doesn't win. This isn't his first rodeo; he's earned more than a dozen noms with just 3 wins, so he knows how the game is played.

If it is his name in the envelope this year, Hit-Boy says his entire speech will be freestyled, and he's advising anyone he forgets to just catch him on IG!!!

The Surf Club captain did have quite the productive year -- he and Nas banged out 3 albums (their "King's Disease III," which technically came out in 2022, is up for Best Rap Album) and he even helped his dad release his debut project right after he was sprung from a lengthy prison bid.

El hombre que solía dirigir la operación de seguridad de Diddy parece estar abordando al menos una de las acusaciones de abuso de Cassie. Esto, después de haber sido nombrado directamente en su explosiva demanda.

Roger Bonds, que trabajó para Diddy durante años y ha sido fotografiado con ellos en diferentes eventos que datan al menos de diez años, utilizó su Instagram este fin de semana para hablar sobre las afirmaciones de Cassie. Pero lo hizo de una forma un tanto críptica.

Escribió: "Esto no pretende ser una amenaza ni un soplo contra Cassie o Diddy o cualquier otra persona. Este soy yo contando mi verdad como realmente la recuerdo por dos razones solamente".

Añadió: "En primer lugar, porque tengo 4 hijas, es mi verdad como yo la he visto, la vi y estuve involucrado en ello durante años". El comentario que acompaña este post, que incluye un montón de fotos de él y Cassie, dice: "Estoy dispuesto a contar mi verdad porque estuve tranquilo por muchos años, nada importa ahora más que la familia".

Ahora, en cuanto a lo que Bonds en realidad se refiere, bueno, parece ser que aborda una cierta parte de la demanda de Cassie, que, de nuevo, se resolvió y desestimó oficialmente.

En sus documentos judiciales, Cassie nombró a Bonds como testigo de un presunto asalto que sufrió a manos de Diddy en 2009. Afirma que en esa oportunidad, Diddy la golpeó después de enterarse de que estaba hablando con otro manager musical en un club en Los Ángeles. De acuerdo a sus declaraciones, él la pisoteó en el carro más tarde y dijo que Bonds incluso trató de intervenir para detener a su jefe.

No está claro si Bonds planea decir algo más de lo que dijo en estos mensajes de Instagram. A primera vista, es un poco confuso qué es exactamente lo que está revelando (en todo caso), pero parece, quizás, que está dando credibilidad a esta supuesta anécdota de Cassie.

Hemos tratado de averiguar cuando dejó Bonds la órbita de Diddy y en qué circunstancias, pero a primera vista, esto no se ve bien para él, que ya ha sido demandado por presunto abuso sexual por otras dos personas después de Cassie. Básicamente, la lluvia radiactiva para él continúa.

The guy who used to head up Diddy's security operation seems to be addressing at least one of Cassie's allegations of abuse -- this after being directly named in her bombshell suit.

Roger Bonds -- who worked for Diddy for years, and who's been pictured with both Diddy and Cassie at different events dating back at least a decade -- took to Instagram this weekend to speak out on Cassie's claims ... but he did so somewhat cryptically.

He writes, "This is not meant to be threats or snitching or anything like that against Cassie or Diddy or anyone else. this is me telling my truth as I truly remember it for 2 reasons only."

RB adds, "1st because I have 4 daughters so on all dudes my truth as I seen it, saw it and was involved with it for yrs." His accompanying caption to this since-deleted post -- which includes lots of shots with him and Cassie in public -- reads, "IM WILLING TO TELL MY TEUTH BECAUSE FOR SO MANY YRS I WAS QUIET , Nothing matters now but FAMILY."

Now, as far as what Bonds is actually referring to here ... well, it would appear to be a certain section of Cassie's lawsuit -- which, again, was settled and officially dismissed.

In her court docs, Cassie name-dropped Bonds as a witness to an alleged assault she says she suffered at the hands of Diddy in 2009 -- when she claims he beat her after learning she was talking to another music manager at a club in L.A. Cassie claimed Diddy was stomping on her in the car afterward, and alleges Bonds even tried to intervene to stop his boss.

Unclear if Bonds plans to say more beyond what he did in these IG posts of his ... on its face, it's a bit unclear what exactly he's even revealing (if anything) -- but it does seem like he's, perhaps, lending credence to this alleged anecdote Cassie detailed.

We've been trying to figure out when Bonds left Diddy's orbit and under what circumstances -- but at first glance, this isn't a great look for Puff ... who's already been sued for alleged sexual abuse twice more after Cassie's lawsuit. Basically, the fallout for him continues.
