  • Former Nude Art Performer Files Lawsuit Against Museum of Modern Art For Negligence, Claiming That Staff Allowed Patrons To ‘Fondle’ His Genitals

    Former Nude Art Performer Files Lawsuit Against Museum of Modern Art For Negligence, Claiming That Staff Allowed Patrons To ‘Fondle’ His Genitals

    A former nude artist has filed a lawsuit against the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) alleging that the staff “turned a blind eye” to patrons groping his genitals during his performance at an exhibition, as reported by the NY Post. The plaintiff, John Bonafede, claims that his genitals were touched by five men on seven separate occasions at the 2010 exhibit titled

    “Marina Abramovich: The Artist is Present”.

    The lawsuit was filed in a Manhattan court on Monday.

    In his role, Bonafede was tasked with reenacting one of Abramovich’s previous artworks. This involved standing still for 75 minutes, while maintaining eye contact with a woman in a similar pose, in a piece called

    “Imponderabilia.”

    As part of the exhibition, visitors were encouraged to walk between the two performers to go into the next gallery. 

    However, according to the lawsuit obtained by The Post, Bonafede alleges that on seven separate occasions, he was

    “fondled and/or groped”

    by 5 different

    “older men.”

    The lawsuit claims that the men would turn sideways, lower their hands, and

    “linger for a moment before moving through into the next gallery room.”

    The lawsuit also accuses a MOMA security guard of witnessing the assault but not intervening. 

    “We are well aware of the challenges posed by having nude performers in the galleries for this exhibition,”

    the museum admitted in a statement to The Post.

    “Any visitor who improperly touches or disturbs any of the performers is escorted from the museum by MoMA security.”

    However, the lawsuit claims that MOMA did not tell visitors not to touch exhibits and refused to provide the identities of the alleged harassers to Bonafede. He filed a lawsuit under the New York Adult Survivors Act and is seeking an unspecified amount in damages. The complaint deadline expired, but he was granted an extension.

    Boyfriend Arrested After He Was Caught Cross-Dressing To Take Girlfriend’s Career Exam

    A 26-year-old man named Angrez Singh was arrested for reportedly posing as his girlfriend to take an exam on her behalf, reports the NY Post. This incident gained viral attention after photos of the incident were circulated on the internet.

    police spokesperson, Manoj Kumar, told Jam Press. 

    Singh took a recruitment test on behalf of his girlfriend, Paramjit Kaur, at the DAV Public School in Kotkapura Punjab. Kaur had previously failed the exam, which was a crucial step in her becoming a healthcare worker. To fool the test officials, Singh shaved his facial hair, wore makeup, and dressed in women’s clothing to resemble Kaur. 

    He even went as far as forging Kaur’s voter card, ID card, and Aadhaar card – a 12-digit unique identity number – to make the scheme foolproof. However, Singh’s was caught by exam officials who noticed that his face did not match Kaur’s photo on the application form.

    Sadly, Singh did not pass the exam.

    The fraudster was arrested. Police also accused Kaur of working with her boyfriend because he couldn’t have done it without her help, they said. The couple are now facing many charges and the police are investigating how Singh faked the documents.

  • New Lawsuit Alleges Floyd Mayweather Told His Bodyguard To Assault Man In Response To Being Fired

    New Lawsuit Alleges Floyd Mayweather Told His Bodyguard To Assault Man In Response To Being Fired

    Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is facing a lawsuit for assault and battery. The lawsuit alleges that Mayweather, along with his business The Money Team LLC, and a restaurant, are responsible for injuries sustained by a man who was tackled by Mayweather’s bodyguard. 

    The plaintiff, Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez, claims that the incident occurred while he was dining at a Yard House in Los Angeles on February 10th, 2022, as reported by Jasmine Brand. As Mayweather and his entourage entered the restaurant, a commotion broke out as diners approached him for autographs and pictures. Martinez says he started recording the scene on his phone, which caught Mayweather’s attention.

    Martinez says the boxer then gestured to his bodyguard to

    “handle”

    him, resulting in a confrontation between him, the bodyguard, and a struggle to gain possession of his phone. According to reports, the plaintiff alleges in his lawsuit that the bodyguard,

    “negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck, and/or hit [Martinez] by striking”

    Martinez is suing Mayweather and the restaurant’s security for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as general negligence. He claims to have suffered severe physical and mental injuries, along with significant medical expenses. 

    Although he filed a police report against Mayweather, no charges were pursued due to a lack of evidence and conflicting witness statements. Mayweather denies any involvement in the incident, stating he left the crowded Yard House soon after arriving. The lawsuit’s monetary value remains undisclosed, and the case awaits a judge’s ruling.

  • Florida Woman Arrested For Attempting To Use Her ‘Aunt’s Dog’ Urine To Cheat Court-Mandated Drug Test, Police Say

    Florida Woman Arrested For Attempting To Use Her ‘Aunt’s Dog’ Urine To Cheat Court-Mandated Drug Test, Police Say

    A woman in Florida is behind bars after attempting to trick authorities by handing them dog urine during a mandatory drug test, Law & Crime reported. 

    Jessica Beatty, aged 42, was apprehended and charged with fraudulent practices related to urine testing. Court documents reveal that on January 11th, Beatty visited the Pinellas County Misdemeanor Probation Office in Highpoint, Florida for a required drug screening. Having a history of legal issues, Beatty was obligated to undergo random drug tests as part of her release conditions from previous offenses. 

    In an attempt to deceive the authorities, Beatty allegedly tried to pass off dog urine as her own. Eventually, she admitted to her failed ploy.

    “On today’s date, the defendant willfully admitted that she had a fraudulent urine sample that she intended to provide during testing,”

    the probable cause affidavit states.

    “The defendant readily admitted pre and post Miranda that she collected urine from her aunt’s dog.”

    After her failed attempt, Jessica Beatty eventually provided a legitimate urine sample, as confirmed by authorities. The affidavit does not provide any information on how Beatty managed to smuggle the dog’s urine into the facility. 

    According to OHS Health and Safety Services, using dog urine as a substitute for human urine in a drug test is immediately detected by any laboratory.

  • Six Children Under The Age Of 10 Left Orphaned as Man Attempting To Flee Police Collides Head-On with Parents Car On Their Date Night

    Six Children Under The Age Of 10 Left Orphaned as Man Attempting To Flee Police Collides Head-On with Parents Car On Their Date Night

    A tragic incident on a Michigan highway has left six young children orphaned after their parents were killed in a horrifying collision, as reported by the Daily Mail

    Ryan and Jen Ambrosio, both in their forties, lost their lives when a suspect evading police in a stolen truck crashed into their car. The suspect, Angel Melendez-Ortiz, was driving on the wrong side of the road without headlights when he collided with the Ambrosios’ SUV. 

    The devastating crash occurred around 1:30 am on January 6. The couple’s children, aged between two and nine, are now under the care of their extended family. Melendez-Ortiz has been charged with multiple offenses, including second-degree murder, and could face a life sentence if convicted.

    Jen Ambrosio’s cousin, Brandi Burke, initiated a GoFundMe campaign for the children, raising over $614,000 as of Tuesday.

    “In the early morning hours of January 6, 2024, Ryan and Jen Ambrosio were on their way home from a date night when their lives were cut short in a fatal car wreck. The greatest impact of this tragedy is (and will continue to be) on their six young children: Amelia, Maria Grace, Faustina, Benedict, Raphael, and Julian,”

    Burke wrote. 

    “Ranging in age from 2-9 years old, they now have to navigate life’s ups and downs without their parents by their side,”

    she added. Burke assured that the children would be kept together under the care of a relative.

    “The Ambrosio children, while now without their parents, have always had the presence and support of a large extended family that will ensure they are raised together in a safe and loving home.”
