Sherri Shephard - Shade from the East and the West

I have never been a fan of Sherri Shepherd. I saw her about two years ago with her husband while I was having dinner at one of those hot spots in Los Angeles. She didn't have on a wig or any make up, it was frightening. Gurl.. keep it classy. Don't leave the house lookin like a hot ass mess. 

Her hair was the three "Ws" wiry, wispy and WTF. Without make up, she looked washed out and haggard. I didn't recognize her at first. Let's just say... she isn't young enough or pretty enough to get away with that one.

I do want to offer two bits of advice. First off, keep a hair and make up person in tow with you at all times and the other thing is get to know the online dating site Eharmony.com. Maybe they can help you vet your men because your choices are as ghastly as your cheap looking synthetic wig line. 

By now you probably heard that Sherri Shepherd is going through a messy divorce with her husband Lamar Sally, a self proclaimed TV writer. Here's a fun fact, he has only one actual writer's credit on one show, on one episode in 2008, from a show that was cancelled the same year. Sounds like they threw him a bone. 

Other than that, he has a producer's credit on a stand up show of Sherri's. This guy hasn't worked at all. So the next best thing is to try to get full custody of their unborn child, who is being carried by a surrogate, and is due on July 28. His primary reason for full custody is the child support. He signed a prenuptial agreement that only gives him $60.000 as a settlement. What a random dollar amount. If that's not shady enough, he's working in cahoots with her ex-husband. Sherri's ex husband, Jeffery Tarpley is suing for full custody of their son Jeffery.


In court documents obtained by E! News, Jeffrey Tarpley alleges their son, Jeffrey Jr., has been neglected in Shepherd's care, adding that her "neglect" has been "compounded by poor parenting choices, refusal to provide for our child's immediate needs not being nurtured, both mentally and emotionally, lack thereof or no judgment at all when considering skilled child care providers, and a deficiency for inventiveness as it relates to the minor child's educational needs and concerns." 

Tarpley demanded full custody of his son in the emergency request and immediately relocation of the boy from her home in New Jersey to live with his father in California.

Shepherd's ex also claims that the comedian's work schedule is the main reason for the supposed "neglect," adding that Jeffrey Jr., who is special needs, can't tie his own shoes, has poor hygiene and can hardly write. Jeff filed the request before Sherri’s current husband, Lamar, filed his separation request. Due to the timing and claims on the case, it appears they worked together on trying to sucker punch Sherri for dual custody that will equal more money. My Gawd...so Shady Fellas. 

How about trying to earn your own coins instead of harpooning this big fish you both clearly enjoy playing games with.

Sherri filed a response claiming that Jeff was an “absentee” father who deserved “no part” in their son’s life, a judge ruled in her favor and denied Jeff’s request. However, the judge did set a hearing for July 2014 so the two parents can settle their custody battle at that time. 

While we are watching fireworks on the Fourth of July, Miss Sherri will have her own personal set of fireworks that month from both camps.

Good luck Girl.

Don't Drop the Soap Apollo Nida - Sentencing in July

The past couple of weeks have been jammed pack with shady behavior and I didn't want this one to get past me without commentary. As you probably already know, Apollo Nida, the husband of Phaedra Parks on the Atlanta Housewives was charged with some extremely shady behavior. Let me breakdown the "Tea". 

Apollo admitted to opening a fake debt collection agency to gain access to databases full of individual’s personal information. After having access to these files, he stole multiple ID information and found unclaimed funds, refunds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, refunds from fraudulent U.S. income tax returns and stole U.S. treasury checks. Good Lawd this man is a hot mess!

Of course he didn't act alone, his accomplice Gayla St. Julien's was directed by Nida to establish UPS mailbox address and bank checking accounts using the newly formed fake identities. Once everything was in place, they would deposit the ill gotten checks and pocket the money. After it started feeling good to him, he moved on and created a fake auto dealership and acquired auto loans for phantom cars. Talk about scandalous. The scheme seems pretty elaborate and I never thought Apollo was smarter than a bag of Phaedra's leftover weave hair. There's obviously more moving parts to this thing.

Last week, Nida plead guilty to charges of mail, wire and bank fraud in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Nida accepted the charges but copped a plea bargain with the government, and part of the terms include agreeing to become an informant. Ding Ding Ding! The Feds will learn the other moving parts.

As an informant, he agreed to be wired and speak with whomever the government chose. Apollo has added himself on to the case as Pro Se, his own attorney. This could be requested by Phaedra to allow Apollo to receive all the court documents that his attorney receives. Some are suggesting this duplicate paperwork is for Phaedra to stay on top of things. He has agreed to allow the government to contact him directly for assignments without going through his attorney. Obviously since this information is out and public, he must have already drop a dime or two on some folks. It might get sticky in the pokey or should I say he might get poked in the sticky icky. Watch out! Good thing he's been working out. Snitches get stitches.

The crime could bring a prison sentence up to 30 years and a fine of up to $1 million in addition to restitution for an estimated $2.3 million he allegedly defrauded various individuals, financial institutions and government agencies. But the The Feds agree to recommend a sentence at the low end of the determined sentencing range, low is 121-151 months (approximately 10 years to 12 years). So it looks like he agreed to ten years and some change. How much of that he will have to do in actual time remains to be seen.

Phaedra and Apollo are expected to be back on the show for season seven since he is not expected to go to prison until July. We should be able to watch this story line play out in front of the cameras. In the words of Queen Bey, Pretty Hurts but I guess Phaedra found that out the hard way. 

It's a Cloudy Shady Mundi in Chi-town

After writing my last post about V. Stiviano, some followers brought to my attention about a bit of Chi-town shadiness. It appears that a woman claims to be the former mistress of a pastor named Charles Jenkins. Her named is Mundi Griffin and she sat down with a blogger and gave up the ghost - so to speak. 

After reading her sorted story, I didn't feel sorry for her. In fact, I began to wonder how much of it was true. Something just didn't add up. I always wonder when people try to cover shady behavior with the "it's not my fault...I'm a victim" routine. I'm not buying that freshly scrubbed face innocence bit. 

In the blog she states, she wants her named cleared. Boo boo Please! That ship has sailed. I wouldn't even know your name had you not put it out there in the blogosphere along with this picture. FYI - next time see a hairstylist and make-up artist before you pose for the camera.

So, I decided to dig a bit and see if I could find more out about Mundi Griffin. To my surprise, shady behavior seems to be second nature for Ms. Griffin. Let me break down the ratchetness. Those who understand Google knows once you put information out there it goes into the Google archives. Check out the LinkedIn profile below: 

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/mundi-griffin/2b/961/591 

In the blog it was mentioned that Mundi left an Ivy League corporate gig to work with the church. I was curious to see where she worked prior to working for the church. On her public LinkedIn profile above, she states having degrees from Howard University and Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management but LinkedIn provides two profile for each user (one for public viewing and the other for member's viewing). But on the member profile below there is no mention of the degree from Northwestern University. Why would someone not mention a degree if they shed brain cells, money and sleep to earn it; unless they made the whole thing up. After being on hold half the day, both schools confirmed there was no evidence of her graduating from either university; let alone attended. If that's not shady.. I don't' know what is. If she could lie about where she attended school, she could lie about anything.

After finding this inconsistency, I decided to check things a little further and delved into the public records. The more I dug into this woman's past, the deeper I fell down a rabbit hole of deception. In a nut shell, I uncovered that she was arrested five times for criminal behavior. Check this out:

People of the State of Illinois vs. Mundi Griffin. Case No. 02119047401 charged with deceptive practice. She deposited a $24,662 check made out to someone else and attempted to withdraw funds.

People of the State of Illinois vs. Mundi Griffin. Case No. 00CR1724001 charged with theft and deception, 2 counts of identity theft and 4 counts of forgery. 

People of the State of Illinois vs. Mundi Griffin. Case No. 00600996901 charged with theft, forgery and financial identity theft. Griffin allegedly represented herself as someone else in an effort to purchase/lease a BMW.

People of the State of Illinois vs. Mundi Griffin. Case No. 88500478301 retail theft

People of the State of Illinois vs. Mundi Griffin. Case No. 88500478401 retail theft

Ooo Girl.. seems like she's been Steppin on the shady train for quite some time. Watch out Chicago!

Who is V. Stiviano?

We already know that V. Stiviano is the girlfriend of Donald Sterling and the one who leaked the audio tape of him ranting about black people. But what else do we know about her, what is her background?

TMZ obtained official documents confirming that V. Stiviano is currently in a criminal investigation for extortion. A senior official with the LA County DA's Bureau of Investigation contacted Donald Sterling's wife Rochelle on Tuesday asking to interview her in connection with alleged blackmail, a report has claimed.

The investigation is said to be focusing on Stiviano's claims to have more than 100 hours of recordings of conversations between her and Sterling and whether the disgraced billionaire had given legal permission for him to be taped at all times as Stiviano claims.

But Stiviano is no stranger to law enforcement, She has a lengthy arrest history. According to TMZ, she was arrested for at least four crimes and used five different aliases. Ooo girl you are a shadtress.

2002 -- Stiviano was arrested by LAPD for petty theft using the named Vanessa Maria Perez.  She was convicted and placed on probation.

2004 -- Stiviano was arrested by Santa Monica PD for another petty theft and felony burglary. 

2010 -- Stiviano was arrested by LAPD for possession of a controlled substance -- a felony. 

2012 -- Stiviano was busted by CHP for DUI.  This time she was booked as Monica Gallegos.

In addition to Vanness Maria Perez and Monica Gallegos, court records show she also used the names Maria Valdez, Maria Vanessa Perez and Mariamonica Perez Gallegos. 

Scandalous! She seems full of game and her “frenemies” are confirming that on a recent TMZ video. This group of " shady friends" were quite chatty. You can always get the "T" from a so called friend when the dirt has already started to fly. 

Poor twisted V, she has such cut throat bitches as friends there's no surprise that she dealt with a old wrinkled racist man or maybe it was the 1.8 million dollar property he gave her and the $240k in cash.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Fans Believe Mimi and Nikko Leaked their own Sex Tape

As Mother's Day approaches, one terrible example of a mother comes to mind. On last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, a sorry acting Mimi Faust tries to force tears when her lover Nikko Smith explains that their sex tape was stolen from his gym bag. This was the worst acting I have ever scene.

He claimed that someone leaked the tape. Fans aren't buying it, in fact some are screaming foul and believe Nikko and Mimi leaked the tape themselves in order to make a dollar!

When Stevie J, the father of Mimi’s child, confronted her about the sex tape. He was livid. “This is the moment I’ve been dreading, but I knew it had to happen at some point,” Mimi says in a confessional.

When Mimi and Stevie J sat down for dinner, he showed her a nude picture of herself and questioned her. “That’s you, right?” Stevie J asked. “It looks a little fuzzy, like it might be from a tape or something. It’s you f***ing on tape! Is this from a sex tape or something?”

How pathetic is it when a women sell out for money (it's said that they received $100,000 but will make more on the back end of the sales). You would think a mother of a young daughter would be more mindful of her decisions, instead of subjecting her child to the consequences, shame and ridicule of her mother's raunchy behavior.

On an interesting side note: According to TMZ, major retailers Home Dept, Lowe's, Target and WalMart - from Georgia to California are selling out of super strong shower rods. The shower rod was essentially a co-stared in the tape. Home Depot has renamed it the "Mimi Shower Rod". Hilarious!

Do you think Mimi and Nikko leaked their sex tape?
