Notorious ran through treesh Meg Thee Stallion is facing backlash after her recent pathetic attempt to paint herself as the victim and demonize Klay Thompson by seeding out smear campaigns to TMZ
I think some people are missing the point. I do not have a problem with anyone seeking a pardon, commutation, or advocating for relief after they have changed their life. That is literally what clemency exists for.
The issue is the hypocrisy. You cannot shame and label other people for seeking relief, then quietly turn around and do the exact same thing for your own circle. Especially while publicly positioning yourselves against the same people you are privately asking for clemency.
Tory Lanez openly sought relief from Gavin Newsom, while also working with Republicans who advocated for him. It was never some secret game. My issue is the constant projection, selective outrage, and pretending one thing is morally unacceptable until it benefits your own people.
So many of us have invested thousands over the years and have yet to be acknowledged. Speaking for myself, I’m not looking for anything in return. I just want to see our sis Nicki Minaj win and continue to break barriers in this sick industry. Cheers to all Barbz who’ve won 🎊🦄
🚨 UPDATE: Magistrate Judge Lauren P. Louis has DENIED Desiree Perez and the other Consolidated Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel against Javon Hadley.
Plaintiffs asked the court to either (1) appoint a special master to review Hadley’s forensic phone image, or (2) hand the full image directly to their own counsel. Judge Louis called this “extraordinary relief” and denied both, ruling it’s not proportional to the needs of the case.
She distinguished the case law Plaintiffs relied on (Measured Wealth), noting that court had made an explicit finding the documents were both relevant and proportional. Here, no such finding exists. She also flagged that the motion sought documents responsive to all 98 discovery requests, when only 5 were actually highlighted.
Notable footnote: despite the court’s repeated orders that only Hadley’s own counsel may review the forensic image, Judge Louis pointed out that Plaintiffs’ counsel has been directing the “independent” vendor and demanding search term results, a privacy intrusion concern she flagged but didn’t rule on.
Plaintiffs also asked the court to compel further production. Denied as moot. Hadley’s duty to keep producing responsive docs continues under Rule 26(e) regardless, so there’s nothing new to compel.
Key line from the order: this ruling does not extend time for either side to conduct further discovery.
Context: discovery already closed once on Aug 18, then got a narrow extension just for the forensic image review, through today, Aug 25, the same day Hadley’s deposition was scheduled. The judge’s order gives no indication discovery is being reopened or extended again.
