Monica NBA Derrick Rose’s Rape Accuser

Chicago Bulls Point Guard, Derrick Rose is a man envied by many, he is an NBA superstar, he makes millions every year from his game and not to mention he has sweet endorsements, let’s just say he is a happy camper; now despite all that no one would like to be in his shoes right now!

The 26-year-old Chicago, Illinois native is currently being sued by a woman who claims she was raped by the athlete! According to TMZ, the woman –who is yet to named –claims Rose and two of his friends drugged and gang raped her.

The plaintiff gives explicit details of her relationship with Rose, she reveals they were an item from 2011 – 2013 and during that time he allegedly tried to force her to inappropriate sexual behavior including: sex with strangers, she says he also pressure her to masturbate in front of him and allow him to have sex with her friends, she says she refused to his requests.

The unnamed woman waited two long years to file a suit because she says she was “ashamed and embarrassed” of what happened and concerned her “conservative family” would find out.

derrick-rose-1

The alleged rape took place in 2013, Roses’ accuser claims she was invited to his Beverly Hills home where Rose, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton –who happens to be Rose’s personal manager –drugged her with the intention of raping her. She managed to scape the situation with a friend she says but later that night while she was incapacitated Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and although she doesn’t remembers the whole incident she does recall being raped by the defendants.

The question now arises, who is Rose’s accuser? Let’s not forget he is the father of a 3-year-old son, Derrick Jr. –with former girlfriend Mieka Reese. The former couple dated for a number of years and she gave birth to their son in 2012.

Did she cheated on his baby mama with this other woman? Is the accuser and his baby mama the same person? Could Mieka have known about the raping incident and that’s why she left him in 2013?

The woman wants unspecified damages.

**********************************UPDATE***************************************

According to online info, the woman in question, suing Derrick Rose, is his ex-girlfriend Monica.

Monica NBA Derrick Rose’s Rape Accuser

This type of accusations always leads to what she said against what he says and just wait to see who will mess up in their respective stories.

According to info from a forum this Monica was picked up by Derrick’s driver at her home, when she got in the car the driver was smoking weed and gave her a bottle of alcohol. She was met at Derrick Rose’s Beverly Hills home by another friend. They hung out at his house until Monica got so drunk that she burned her hand on Derrick’s outdoor fire pit.

It goes on to say:

Monica’s friend said they needed to leave, so they got in a cab and went home. The next morning Monica told friends that she saw a condom wrapper near the trash can in her bedroom and figured Derrick and his friends followed her home. What she failed to mention was that she had invited them back to her house that evening.
For the weeks following, Monica had been trying to talk to him, but he didn’t really give her the time of day. This was confusing for her considering she has had threesomes with him in the past and let her friend give him head in Chicago before. She kept saying she wanted the money for the sex belt that he made her buy. He asked for her account number, but she would never see the money in her account. About a month after the incident, she said she was going to sue because she knew of other girls who got money off of these type of things. All she wanted was money and attention from him and that’s why she did it. She decided to put the story out, because she was losing and felt this would be the only way for her to ruin his reputation. After she put the story out anonymously, she moved to Stockton and has been living there ever since.

That doesn’t make her look too good, neither alleged text messages Monica exchanged with a girlfriend and that were leaked to Baller Alert from someone saying she is the accuser’s friend.

You can take a look at the complaint full document, filed last August, here.

If Monica was his victim or not we still don’t know for sure, what is certain is that Rose has been acquired by the Knicks and he doesnt look too worried about his near future.

Audra & John Seldon

Audra & John Seldon are the proud parents to former Providence College point guard and All-American basketball player, Kris Dunn.

Ttheir son Dunn is expected to be one of the first seven players taken in the draft — possibly as high as the No. 3 pick held by the Boston Celtics.

But Dunn is not only looked after for his skill, he has shows he is a matured player, one with an outstanding story. Last year, Dunn passed the chance to be on the Draft, but no more.

Dunn listened closely to his coach telling him to turn pro, he weighed his options, and then made his decision. The NBA could wait. Twelve years after he and his older brother sold their sneakers and played one-on-one games for money just to survive the disappearance of their troubled mother, Dunn passed up millions of dollars — and returned to Providence for the 2015-16 season, to complete his degree work and improve his game.

Yes, is true Dunn, wanted to improve as a player but there was also a noble reason to his decision, to be a good role model for his two little sisters: “They’re about to head off to high school and I’m just trying to show them how important education is.”

 

Audra & John Seldon have been happily married for years, together they have two young daughters Ariana and Ashley. Audra Seldon is Kris’s stepmother. John Seldon fathered Kris and older older brother John from a previous relationship.

 

Accoridng to The Day.com John Seldon learned that Dunn’s biological mother was no longer able to provide proper care for Kris and John Jr. Seldon burned to know the whereabouts of his sons from another relationship. At the time he was living in Connecticut when he heard about the location of his sons. He drove all the way to Virginia to meet them. Kris Dunn was about 10 when he first met his father.

John Seldon is a former football great at New London and later Waterford. He played college ball in Dodge City, Kansas. John and Audra, a native of Westerly, had a life together working at Mohegan Sun.

Audra Seldon is the mother to another son, Rashad Pauley, a future New London football player, from another relationship. Of his parents he’s been quoted saying

“It took me a while to really get to know my dad,” Kris Dunn said. “But he always told me I’d make something of myself. I didn’t always know who he was, but for some reason, I believed him. He’s a great man. My stepmother is a great woman.”

John and Audra Seldon, in spite of seeing their son’s athletic ability, have reinforced education to their children faithfully. John Dunn, a former high school player at Montville, recently graduated from Central Connecticut with a degree in accounting.

 audra-seldon

Dunn led the Whalers to an unparalleled season, tops in all of New London lore and legend. The Whalers were undefeated last year, 27-0, and won the Class L state title before a full house at Mohegan Sun Arena. They were ranked No. 1 in the state. Dunn, a good student, had colleges knocking at his door: UConn, Providence, Louisville, Texas among them.

At providence during his freshman year, he played 25 games that season and averaged 5.7 points per game.

He returned in the 2014-2015 season following shoulder surgery to earn the Big East Player of the Year and the Defensive Player of the Year awards.

Nilou Saniri

Gerald Henderson was playing with the Charlotte Hornets when he fell head over heels for single momma Nilou Saniri, a Charlotte Hornets Honeybees dancer who managed to be the caring, loving mother to her six-year-old daughter Roya and a hard working NBA dancer.

It was hard for Nilou Saniri,with late night practices and waking up early in the morning to make breakfast and have Roya ready for school.

“I’m very driven for her,” Saniri said. “At the end of the day I know I have to be there for her, so I wake up in the morning and I’m like ‘look let’s do it.”

“I’ve had to give up a lot of things with being young and a single mother. This is the one thing that I’m holding on to, that no matter what I’m going to make it work,” she said.

“When she sees me out there I know it excites her. It makes her proud, so just feeling that from her makes me feel some kind of way,” Saniri said.

“I only have this chance with her once. When she gets older and she gets to the age where she doesn’t want to hang out with me anymore, I’m going to wish I did hang out with her when I had the chance. So I do, I really hang on to those moments with her,” Saniri said.

Nick Young baby mama Keonna Green

Keonna Green

Keonna Green is the ex-girlfriend of NBA player Nick Young, the shooting guard for Los Angeles Laker who was dating Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, that was until Keonna who is the mother of Young’s son Nick Jr. announced she and nick are expecting again. Would you like to know more about Nick Young’s baby mama Keonna Green? Keep reading the rest of her story.

As many of you know Keonna Green gave birth to Nick Young’s son Nick Jr. four years ago. Little Nick Jr. was six months when Keonna founded her kids clothes business after becoming frustrated about find clothes to her little son, she was not going to stay put about boy’s simple clothes, she was committed about finding items that would make little Nick stand out from the rest of the boys his age, therefore Young’s Playhouse was born in the heart of Santa Clarita Valley. Ke’onna Green holds a degree in broadcast journalism from California State University

Keonna Green watched when Nick got engaged in July, 2015 to his girlfriend of three years Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, who had been supportive over Keonna and Nick’s friendship.

Azalea and Nick split up after a video of Nick talking to D’Angelo Russell about his encounter with a 19-year-old girl while dating Azalea, and on top of that Keonna announced she and Nick got sort of back together in September, anyways Keonna and Nick had a one night stand that resulted in the pregnancy of their second child together. Keona Green who is also the owner of L.A TNK Hair Studios met Nick in 2002 while they were in high school. Keonna was the captain of the cheerleader squad and Nick played basketball. Keonna was devastated when she found out through TMZ Nick and Iggy were dating, but the news became less painful when her son told her about the fun he had with Iggy and Nick.

The one night stand between them resulted in pregnancy, and as you can imagine the news was shocking for both.

I was having extreme back pain very early in the pregnancy, so I went to the doctor, who said, “There’s nothing wrong with your back, but you’re pregnant.” It was 200 percent Nick’s child. He’s always supportive, but he was in shock. With him being in a public relationship, he didn’t know how to handle it. We didn’t get into [how he would tell Azalea]. I felt it was his decision how to handle it.

They are no longer intimate, but Keonna confessed she would give Nick another shot in a heartbeat.

I’m giving him his space. On an intimate level, it has stopped. We haven’t discussed how we’re going to move forward. Right now, he needs to focus on basketball and getting his life in order. Basketball is what puts food on two people’s plates that he’s taking care of.

But I will definitely give it a chance if he comes back and says, “I’m really going to make this work this time.” Why not? But if there was ever any inkling of disrespect … I’m going to be raising a daughter. I would want to let her know that she deserves the world.

Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa Bryant aka Vanessa Laine Bryant is the beautiful wife of retired NBA player Kobe Bryant aka Black Mamba, her marriage hasn’t been easy, and Vanessa Bryant had to be brave when Kobe was accused with a sexual assault charge, infidelities and ultimately divorce proceedings that were subsequently dropped. She had to put on a brave face for her girls and to save her marriage with the man she remains in love with; This is the story of the ups and downs of a sports Wag, Vanessa Bryant’s Biography!

Vanessa Bryant’s hubby is one of the most famous NBA players in history, he grew up surrounded by basketball, his father Joe “Jellybean” Bryant was the 14th pick overall in the 1975 NBA draft selected by the Golden State Warriors, he also played for the Philadelphia 76ers (1975-1979), San Diego Clippers (1979-1982), and Houston Rockets (1982-1983). After he retired from the NBA he played in France and Italy and then became head coach of the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. Joe Bryant and his wife Pamela Cox, mother of his three children  have been married since 1975.

As expected Kobe would become a basketball star starting from his time as a student at Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania, no college for him, he declared to the draft right after high school, becoming the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft selected by the Charlotte Hornets.

He never played in Charlotte thought, they traded him to the Lakers, the team where he played for 20 years, he became known as the Black Mamba, and certainly the guy who is an 8-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. A series of injuries starting with a torn Achilles tendon in 2013, season-ending injuries to his knee and shoulder that limited his play forced him into retirement after the 2015-2016 season.

There are amazing NBA player like The King LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant to name a few, but there is only one Kobe!

Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa Bryant was born Vanessa Marie Cornejo Urbieta on May 5, 1982 in Los Angeles, California to Sofia Laine (nee. Urbieta), also proud momma of Vanessa’s elder sister Sophie. Sofia Laine and her daughter’s biological father got a divorce when Vanessa was still a baby, she then remarried Stephen Laine. Vanessa was in high school when she dropped her father’s last name and started using her stepfather’s name.

Vanessa was 17 year-old student at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, California in November, 1999 when she met Kobe Bryant then 21 who was at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre where Vanessa was working as a background dancer on the Tha Eastsidaz music video “G’d Up” and he on his first album. They started dating soon after they met and became engaged in May, 2000 just six months later and right after her 18th birthday. They got married April 18, 2001, at St. Edward the Confessor Roman Catholic Church in Dana Point, California, she was still in high school but stopped attending and graduated via independent study.

Vanessa and Kobe welcomed their first daughter Natalia Diamante Bryant on January 19, 2003 and second daughter Gianna Maria-Onore on May 1st, 2006, Kobe announced via Instagram Vanessa was pregnant with their third baby girl on July 13, 2016.

Vanessa forgave her hubby when he admitted of having an affair with a 19-year-old woman then identified as Katelyn Faber, who worked a hotel, and with other women over the years, including an unconfirmed report about an alleged affair with Carla DiBlello.

Kobe had no choice but to confess his infidelities after he was charged with one count of felony sexual assault in Colorado eight years ago that was eventually dismissed by an Eagle County judge, the world heard about it when he admitted infidelity during a 2003 Los Angeles press conference with Vanessa by his side.

First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.

I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.

Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences on December 16, 2011, almost two years passed before they decided to give their marriage a second chance.

Cherise Sandra In KLay Thompson NFL cheerleader girlfriend

Cherise Sandra In

Cherise Sandra In is a hot and sexy NFL cheerleader, she appears to be the latest gal in a long list of women who have been romantically linked to NBA player, Klay Thompson.

Stunning Cherise Sandra In was caught sharing a photo on her Instagram account –which is not out of the ordinary. What caught the attention of many sport blogs was the fact that the image she shared supposedly showed some graffiti work she did outside Thompson’s house. She deleted the image, but you check it out on Busted Coverage.

The brunette accompanied the snap with the caption:

“You & Me baby Sorry my names tagged on your patio @klaythompson,”

We did some digging of our own and found out her last name is “In” as showed on a Facebook account. Cherise Sandra In has an equally hot sister by the name of Kaley In and brother named, Brandon In. Their mother’s name is Tambra In.

cherise-in-1cherise-in-2

Cherise is originally from Bakersfield, California and currently resides in Los Angeles while her sister, goes to Uc Irvine and lives in Newport Beach. Check out a photo of her family below, Cherise Sandra In appears in the photo with her sister, brother and parents.

cherise-in

Hot Cherise appears on the page of the Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders roster. She made the squad for the 2016-2017 season.

It is possible that she deleted the Instagram photo due to the nature of their relationship, they either are not as tight to be called boyfriend and girlfriend or one of them (Klay Thompson) wants to keep it a secret. Either way she would make for an astounding NBA wag!

Cherise Sandra In is a veteran cheerleader, prior to her work with the Rams, she was also a cheer gal for the San Francisco 49ers. According to an interview for the 49ers page, Cherise is Korean and Caucasian. You can check out the rest of the questions and her full answers below:

Guilty Pleasures? Frozen yogurt with brownie bites. Who doesn’t love fro-yo?

Best workout? I love a challenging workout. My favorite is definitely the Spartacus workout I picked up a few months ago.

Why did you decide to audition for Gold Rush? It’s been a dream of mine to be part of this wonderful organization since I can remember, and I was very determined to make that dream a reality.

In addition to dancing and cheerleading, what do you do for fun? I love going to the beach and adventuring in unfamiliar places.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you want to have with you? My bikini, a bag of almonds, and a good book.

What do you look forward to most about being on the Gold Rush? Every experience so far has been more amazing than I could have imagined, but the one moment I am most excited for is stepping on the field at Candlestick for the first game of the season.
