In the suit, Mattingly argued that he’s entitled to compensation from Walker for “medical treatment, trauma, physical pain and mental anguish,” according to the New York Times.
The lawsuit is obviously ridiculous, a transparent attempt to deflect blame for Taylor’s killing away from police and onto her boyfriend. Hopefully Perry’s donation helps Walker’s lawyer argue that effectively.
Ashanti has found a very long way to tell us that she has covid. In a 39-minute posted to Instagram on Saturday, the singer said she had to cancel her
Verzuz battle with
Keyshia Cole after getting a positive test result.
“Hey y’all, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I tested positive for covid-19,” she said in the video. “Never in a million years did I think I would get covid.”
Ashanti said she was still ready to face off with Cole, and had been trying to find a way to do their showdown remotely—and had even been on the phone with Apple, which hosts the series, to make it happen—but that it wasn’t feasible in the end.
Unfortunately, the ill-fated timing of Ashanti’s covid diagnosis has made some people believe that she’s faking the virus, which, to me, is nuts. Nothing is worth faking coronavirus for, especially during a time when thousands of people in the U.S. are dying from it every day.
At the end of the video, Cole joins Ashanti on Instagram Live, telling her not to worry about canceling their Verzuz and to get well soon.
“Your health is more important than this,” Cole said. “We’re gonna make it happen.”
