While one teacher at Simeon Career Academy is fighting to save her job as well as the Electricity Shop program another teacher is giving the school a bad name.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Gerald Gaddy, who is a volunteer track coach assistant has been charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault and aggravated battery. He was accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with three teenage girls ages 15-17 who were also on the track team.
According to police reports, the incidents occurred between January 1st and June 25th at Simeon Career Academy high school located on 8100 S. Vincennes Avenue.
The 15-year-old accused the coach of squeezing her buttocks. The 16-year-old accused him of fondling her buttocks, making comments about her figure and asking her to be his girlfriend. The 17-year-old admitted to having sex with the 42-year-old on his desk in his office. She also told people that she was dating Gaddy.
Gerald Gaddy aka Coach Babyface who lives in the 8200 block of Maryland Avenue is being held on a $300,000 bond. Spokesman Joel Hood for Chicago Public Schools said Gaddy has been barred from CPS activities while the investigation continues.
If this assistant coach is guilty he should be barred from CPS. Although he ought to be ashamed based on his actions it's clear that he is not. No man his age should be interested in a 15, 16, or 17 year old. On top of that he has a girlfriend whom he was living with. Hopefully she's not his girlfriend anymore. The sad thing is there's no telling how many other teenage girls he has done this too.

Comedian Katt Williams has more issues than he wants to admit. First, he has the balls to slap an Target employee following a police chase. But this recent move is not nothing to be smiling about!
According to reports, Williams pepper-sprayed a fan and rolled over his leg. The incident occurred when Williams and his bodyguard took matters in there own hands after a fan named Glen Jackson took a picture of the comedian.
Williams and the bodyguard tried to grab the fan's but was unsuccessful so Jackson was pepper-sprayed. Jackson then stumbled out of the vehicle and that's when Williams ran over his leg with his Rolls Royce. To make matters worse Williams sprayed him some more while he was down. Now according to police reports, the comedian could be facing assault with a deadly weapon.
What is wrong with this dude? Katt Williams needs help! He has been getting in a lot of trouble lately from being tasered to having a car accident.
All we can do is pray for him to get better because he's not well!

According to the rumors, singer Omarion was arrested. According to reports, that rumor is true! Yes, indeed Omarion was arrested last weekend for a traffic violation.
The singer was accused of running a stop sign while he was driving in San Fernando Valley in California.
Omarion was taken into custody after police learned he had a warrant out for his arrest for missing a court date due to a previous violation. The 29-year-old was held on a $20,000 bond. At least there was nothing reported saying that he was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. He should be out in no time!
Omarion may be in temporary custody but the good news is he has a new album dropping soon. Stay tuned for the former B2K member's upcoming album "Sex Playlist"!

It was in 2009 when Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida tied the knot. Has there marriage now come to an end?
Previously, it was reported that Apollo was sentenced to 8 years for identity theft and fraud. He was also ordered to pay $14 million in restitution but his lawyers got it lowered down to $1.9 million which Nida agreed to pay by the grace of God. As a result to his crime and sentencing his wife, Phaedra is allegedly considering filing for divorce.
It the reality tv couple are getting a divorce that would explain why the tension between the two is so deeply exposed on the show "Real Housewives of Atlanta".
Nida recently did an interview with comedian Rodney Perry of BE100 where he blasted his wife. When asked about his sentencing he accused his wife of not turning up for his sentencing. Really, Apollo!
It was just in 2009 when Apollo was released from prison for similar charges! They got married the same year and now share two children together. What does Apollo expect Phaedra to do? Is she suppose to wait on him? It seems like he's blaming her for his crime when really all he can blame is himself!
He was also asked if he thought his marriage would work while he's incarcerated and he said he doubted it. The 35-year-old also talked about how he is disappointed in himself for letting his sons down. He said it doesn't make you less of a man to cry or shed tears as he reflected on how he was raised as a child and how it upsetted him. Apollo also felt regrets feeling that he could pass down to his sons what was done to him.
"I'm really upset about how I was raised and I could possibly take my sons through the same thing," Apollo said.
But by the grace of God he's still young and we have many years ahead of us. I just can't make those same mistakes," Apollo added.
During the interview Apollo described his family life as hell on wheels but he said he asked God for forgiveness.
"I've forgiven myself. I had to move on like a lot of people I know who didn't," Apollo said.
Apollo should be saying thank you to his wife for keeping his illegal actions a secret. Without her he probably would have been back in prison long time ago. So this is what he's been doing all of this time. This why noone knew what he profession was on the show!
Sorry Apollo you are no different than anyone else. If you do the crime you have to do the crime. He says he's made because his wife didn' t turn up after sentencing. Turn up for what!

Play and film maker Tyler Perry is under the radar yet again! First, he was accused of stealing reality star Poprah's phrase "What Would Jesus Do" and making it his own. Now it's being said that he's being sued for false representation and fraud.
According to TheWrap, an entertainment company in Georgia is suing Perry for attempting to defraud government officials just so he could turn a military base into a movie studio. The writer/actor and the McPherson Implementing Local Redevelopment Authority (MILRA) has been accused of violating the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
In the court documents Ubiquitous Entertainment Studios proposed the idea to transform the McPherson military base into a studio and entertainment complex back in 2011. Perry then tried to prevent the UES from getting the deal by trying to convince McPherson that they should give him the deal. Also according to the lawsuit, a rep from McPherson gave Perry the UES's site plans, construction plans, drawings, and business plan.
UES is also seeking compensatory damages!
Unfortunately, although this is something serious Perry has refused to comment regarding the matter!

There is nothing more scary than being on a roller coaster and up in the air stuck. Over the weekend there seemed to be a power outage at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee Mills leaving riders stranded.
According to spokeswoman Katy Enrique, the incident occurred on Saturday night just two hours before the amusement park closed. She said the guests were safely unloaded from the rides.
It's a good thing the riders were safe but that could also make them and noone else get on that ride. They didn't even say which ride it was which can be dangerous!

On the season premiere of "R&B Divas LA" Chrisette Michelle and Leela James were introduced to the group. It's just the beginning so of course, everyone was getting along. Claudette caught up on things with Lil Mo and invited her to Puerto Rico to sing for an event. Lil Mo was hesitant at first due to what happend last season during the "Divalogues".
Chrisette Michelle is working on a new project consisting of instruments and poetry. Leela James invited the ladies to a listening session. The song she sang was a powerful song and it seemed to have touched Lil Mo the most. Lil had some one on one time with Leela in a garden nursery where she gave hints about how being in this group could be.
Michelle was preparing for her new album but she broke down when she felt pressured by her team. The "Something In My Heart" singer met with the late Don Cornelius son to assist in her suicide event. Don Cornelius was the host of one of the longest running musical shows on television called "The Soul Train". He commited suicide in 2012. In his honor his son Tony started an organization called The Don Cornelius Foundation.
Claudette brought the ladies together and invited them all to the event in Puerto Rico. The main person she thought would not want to go is Chante Moore but she was more than willing. Lil Mo was all in but she was being a bit negative when she assumed things would be like before. Yes, it's true that Dawn and Kelly Price didn't attend the "Divalogues" but that doesn't mean the other girls are the same. The only person who seems to have any issues is Lil Mo!
Leela and Chrisette just came into the season but as the season goes on we will see just how these two ladies can have an impact on the show.
