Method Man Has Been Accused of Attacking Model Jayden Steele Back in the 90s

*Welp. Now it’s Method Man‘s turn to be accused of assault from back in the 90s. Well, at least it’s not a sexual assault (if that matters). Doing the accusing is model Jayden Steele.

Via her TikTok account, this past Monday (12-18-23), Steele shared a story of physical abuse from a “very large rapper in the ’90s who’s actually now an actor.”

And if you’re wondering why Steele is coming forward now in 2023, she also tells why she wasn’t able to get justice at the time.

“Good day all. You guys wanna know the reason why all these people are coming forward now telling their stories and they didn’t do it in the past?” she says. “Well, being a model for over 12 years and being in this industry, I was physically attacked by a very large rapper in the ’90s who’s actually now an actor right now today.

“This man attacked me, I defended myself,” she added. “10 squad cars were called to the hotel ’cause we tore that bitch up. 10 squad cars were called – there wasn’t one police report written about the incident. I had five officers come up to my room and take a statement. Not one police report was written.”

Here’s why she felt she felt she couldn’t come forward at the time:

“I worked for attorneys at that time in New York, and because my attorneys represented the head of the record label he was on, they told me to pick my battles. You wanna know why? That’s why.”

Even though Jayden Steele didn’t name names in the clip, a reader of her post went straight ahead and asked if it was Method Man, to which Steele simply replied, “Yes.”

And no, as of this posting, Method Man has not yet responded to the allegation.

Also....

On Thursday (December 21), 50 posted an Instagram clip of Method Man claiming he saw Kanye West sucking dick at one of Diddy’s kinky sex parties.

“‘F### Kanye West. I hate that n####. Plus I seen that n#### at one of Puff’s parties sucking dick in the bathroom,’” the Wu-Tang Clan member appears to say in the video, All Hip Hop reports.

50 Cent captioned the clip: “This has not been confirmed, but ya see why I stayed away from the man’s party’s WTF.”

The text across the shocking video read, “Method Man Says He Seen Kanye Do What At Diddy’s Party?”

Method Man called the video “fake” in the comment section of 50’s post, writing, “This video fake 5.. you and Diddy keep me out of this s###. The real vid is on YouTube .. (method man bossip).. do your research .. yall fallin for the remix.”


Chris Brown Refuses Deposition Sit Down For $71 Million Ex-Housekeeper Lawsuit

*It’s going to take more for Chris Brown to appear for a videotaped deposition than a scheduled date.

According to RadarOnlne, the singer is refusing to comply with demands for his former housekeeper, identified as Jane Doe, to sit for the deposition. Court documents obtained by the site revealed Doe served Brown’s company Black Pyramid with a notice for his deposition. Days before the proceeding, Brown’s lawyers objected to the notice, claiming it was untimely served.

The vocalist’s legal team also mentioned a default that was entered in 2022 against their client. They go on to state that Brown filed his official answer to the case after the default was entered by the court. Although Brown appeared and filed his response, Radar noted the initial default entered has yet to be vacated. Despite the entertainer’s efforts to have the default vacated, the housekeeper has refused to work with him on the issue.

The deposition drama marks the latest development in Doe’s $71 million lawsuit against Brown. The housekeeper filed her complaint in July 2021, claiming to have worked at Brown’s Tarzana, California home on Dec. 12, 2020. Doe stated she was unaware the “Look at Me Now” crooner had “vicious, killer attack dogs” on his property.

Doe goes on to detail an attack made on her by a Caucasian Orvchake/Caucasian Shepherd dog named Hades while she was taking out the trash. According to the housekeeper, Hades “savagely” ripped parts of her face, arms, and body off. Doe also stated she lay on the floor bleeding out while attempting to protect her face and body and claimed Brown came outside and instructed his security guards to remove Hades from the home. During the ordeal, Doe said she feared for her life.

Doe sued Brown for $71 million in damages for her emotional and mental distress — along with medical expenses for her injuries. Doe’s allegations have been denied by Brown, who claimed she caused the attack by mistreating Hades. According to the “This Christmas” star, Doe “voluntarily teased, abused, and mistreated the dog and thereby provoked the attack.”


Kanye West Apologizes in Hebrew for Antisemitic Rants

Kanye West is apologizing -- in Hebrew -- for his antisemitic rants and his support for Hitler, this after his name was scribbled on an apparent Israeli missile being used in the war against Hamas.

The rapper wrote a lengthy statement Tuesday in an effort to his reactivated Instagram account, showing contrition for his offensive remarks to the Jewish people over the past year. Interestingly, Kanye expressed his remorse in the language of Judaism: Hebrew.

This is the entire translation of Kanye's message, "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."

Kanye continued, "I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."

The words ... well, they sound more corporate than Kanye.

His apology comes after Israeli MMA fighter Haim Gozali posted a photo on X, showing a missile with the following message written on it: "Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali."

Of course, Gozali was referring to the current Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. He also wrote in the caption, "@kanyewest you don't like us jewish. So, we don't like you too."


Blueface Sued By Soulja Boy's Baby Mama For Defamation

Blueface has been hit with a lawsuit by Soulja Boy's baby mama after claiming he slept with her the day before her baby shower ... among other things.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jackilyn Martinez beelined it to court Friday ... claiming Blueface made false and defamatory statements about her and her child.

In case you missed it ... Blueface and Soulja Boy have been beefing heavily on social media this week, which started after the two began arguing about who would win in a Verzuz battle.

Well, things escalated quickly ... and Blueface made some pretty outlandish comments to Soulja Boy about Jackilyn, which includes, "Because I fucked your baby mama the day before your baby shower."

The docs say Blueface went on to say things like, "Till Soulja get a DNA test that's my child lil bro I'm the daddy now," and "What's old about your baby mama sucking my d--k."

However ... the docs say Jackilyn and Blueface did have protected sex one time in 2018, but since then there's been no sex of any kind.

Jackilyn's attorneys say they sent Blueface a cease and desist letter on Tuesday -- demanding he remove all these defamatory statements from social media -- but instead he mocked Jackilyn by posting on IG, "Nobody ever said your name ... I don't even know who you are."

LIZZO ASK THE COURTS TO SEAL DOCUMENTS RELATED TO ONGOING SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE

Lizzo‘s attorneys have petitioned the courts to seal documents related to the ongoing sexual harassment suit against her, claiming that failure to do so could result in a detriment to her business.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, the petition to seal the documents was filed on Thursday (December 21), stating that the “Good As Hell” singer worries that “documents, correspondence and testimony that contain sensitive, confidential information and/or proprietary business information, including employee compensation, contract negotiation, and third-party sensitive contact information” could be subjected to public scrutiny.

“These records, including portions of Declarations in support of the Motion and attached exhibits, should be ordered sealed to avoid any harm to the parties through their public disclosure,” Lizzo’s lawyers wrote in their petition, according to the outlet.

The judge has not yet ruled on the petition, as of this writing.

This is just the latest turn of events in the ongoing saga between Lizzo and her backup dancers.
