THE ROUND UP: D’ANGELO IS THAT YOU? | MORE MICHAEL VICK DRAMA | RUTGERS TEAM MEMBER TO SUE DON IMUS
Thursday, August 16, 2007

D’Angelo pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence last week in VA and the photo above was supposedly taken right when he was arriving at court. He sure don’t look like himself anymore. Come on D’Angelo we need ya back! ON TO THE ROUND UP!
MIKE VICK TIED TO Al Qaeda??

Mike Vick can’t catch a break for nothing. As if his felony dog fighting charges didn’t bring enough drama now he is being tied to Al Qaeda. Yes, you read that right.
Jonathan Lee Riches filed the handwritten complaint over “theft and abuse of my animals” on July 23 in the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va.
Riches alleges that Vick stole two white mixed pit bull dogs from his home in Holiday, Fla., and used them for dogfighting operations in Richmond, Va. The complaint goes on to allege that Vick sold the dogs on eBay and “used the proceeds to purchase missiles from the Iran government.”
The complaint also alleges that Vick would need those missiles because he pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda in February of this year. [SOURCE]
This story is being reported by Fox News and we all know they report a bunch of BS, but damn a brother can’t catch a break. He should have cut all his ties from home once he made it big. His so-called friends got plea deals and are now testifying against him in court. Ain’t that a bitch?
RUTGERS BBALL PLAYER TO SUE IMUS

Did you think the whole “Nappy Headed Hoes” controversy was over? Think again. Kia Vaughn from the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team is hitting the Crypt Keeper with a libel, slander and defamation lawsuit.
Kia Vaughn, star center for the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team, has filed a lawsuit against Imus for libel, slander and defamation — the first civil suit to be filed against the former radio host. Vaughn is asking for monetary damages of an unspecified amount.
“This is a lawsuit in order to restore the good name and reputation of my client, Kia Vaughn,” said her attorney, Richard Ancowitz, in an exclusive interview with the ABC News Law & Justice Unit. [SOURCE]
What do y’all think? Is this lawsuit justified?

D’Angelo needs to get it together & FAST! I miss him & his music.
That Al-Queda shit is retarded. Makes no sense…but I will say, I’m pissed the black leaders & coalitions are backing Vick.
I think the lawsuit is unjustified. He’s fired. Leave it be, if you’re gonna sue Imus…sue every entertainer, script writer, etc that calls a woman out of her name.

M. Vick a member of Al Qaeda??? WTF!! Now I have heard everything. The dog fighting stuff is rediculous! These people are really taking it to another level. If he is guility convict make him pay the fine or even do a little time in the clink and move on. These people want to hang him from a tree or something.
The lawsuit will do nothing ,but make some ole white guy pay. He isn’t hurting or even thinking about those chicks anymore. If she can get a couple of bucks due to his slander then why not. If she wins I betcha the rest of them chicks will be next in line.

He looks a hot mess! It’s about time a male celebrity is put on blast when he puts on weight. It’s always the females that are talked about when they put on weight. Timbaland and Ursher was looking a little chunky in the pic of him with Tameka at the beach.

D angelo now you and Angie can go to celebrity fit club together.
Free Micheal Vick! I’m still a fan of him but he should be punished and the people that helped him or participated should also be punished as well. They are making it seem as if it was all Vick just because he’s famous.
Why sue? He’s already fired. Its not that serious. And why is she the only one suing? She won’t get any money because she is suing for defimation of character and Imus never singled her out. This is just causing more drama!

Now he must be called D’A”JELL-O”… For real though… He gained some weight, but back in 2000 the sistas were screaming for him. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t be good enough now? He is still the same man, right? He still can sing hopefully, but he just gained some weight. Now maybe the DUI and his actions are a knock against him, but his weight doesn’t make him less of a man.

If they don’t stop talking about Mick Vick…all these issues in this country and we talking about some damn Mick Vick. Give me a fyckin break…
No I don’t think its justified…I believe everything that could be done to rectify the situation has been just that done.

Hey. Yall should check out PerezHilton.com to see what the caucasions think about the Imus situation. They had some pretty racist comments on this topic that pissed me off but I thought it was interesting to see what the other race thought about this.

Okay let me use my legal skills to access these cases for those who care.
D-Angelo, no issue, he will receive a slap on the wrist; there may be civil suit depending on the victim and whether he or she smells money.
Mike Vick, people that complaint will go no where, its full of false accusations and obviously smells of a money hungry red neck and some shaddy shifty lawyer. Come one, anyone can file a complaint as along as you allege a basis under the law, the issue comes down to proof. Can you really link what Mike Vick did to the organization; and I think not. Dismiss on a Motion for Summary Judgement.
Imus, Libel, Slander Defamation, ummm, well this a tough one, because we know he said it, the issue is that did this statement by the racist one we call Ass-mus, did it cause her reputation to suffer, place her in a bad light to others or diminish her career if so she could be looking at surving a motion for summary judgment. However it was his opinion, and her attorney could argue it was not stated as a fact but an opinion and and as a journalist he was offering his opinion. Stating your opinion right or wrong, ignorant or not, may dimish the issue altogether. I say a settlement will be reached before the case goes before a jury or judge.
okay that was my legal two cents and is based only the facts presented, it has no standing nor does it represent a viable income.
Okay back to work—the one has spoken.

D’Angelo is just plain FAT! someone said J-ELLO (that’s funny if the name is suggesting he is now as “jiggly” as JELLO. But Jello is not fattening at all–this negroe has just been eating..ewwwwwwwl? Thats ashame to let yourself go like that, D’Angelo was a sexxy NEO-SOUL singer (India Arie, Glen Lewis,Angie Stone & Bilal all came with that style of music). I loved me some D’Angelo back in the day…now look at him…& he had the nerve to treat Angie badly?
Lets see how many women his “has been” behind is pulling right about now. LOL.
IMUS: I think all of the girl should individually SUE his RACIST ASS. Good for the one that is suing him.

why is she suing don? this happened a while ago, it’s over with. it was bad but over with.
d’angelo will be working out soon b/c i know he won’t come back looking like that

Didn’t Imus just sign a $20 million settlement with CBS for the company breaking his contract? He may have been fired, but he isn’t hurting. He is also about to sign a new contract with an ABC radio station, so don’t be surprised when he pops back up on the air.
A suit representing the entire team would have looked better, but maybe this will improve the chances of getting anything from him. She was a member of the team, therefore he called her a nappy headed ho, so why not sue? That’s what happens in America. Imus turned to his own legal team to make CBS pay.

Oh please this lady wants to sue? But I bet if we see her in the club she’ll be shaking her ass to all those defaming rap songs! Give me a damn break! what he said was wrong but c’mon! damnit without that perm her hair is probably quite nappy and who know?…she maybe a hoe.
Anyway…D’angelo got comfortable, fired the personal trainer and buried his problems in beer and chicken….hence the end result.
I have nothing to say about Michael.

D’Angelo, I don’t think he looks that bad, however, he said he didn’t like the Untitled look that he had because woman was losing his mind over him, but damn at the picture posted from that era! I just wish he would get himself together, and record a new album….

DeAngelo kinda remind me of ODB ha
Why the hell would M. Vick steal two pit’s and sell them on ebay when he’s got a 130 million dollar contract? How much could he get for two pits? Maaaybe $10,000 - $12,000 and thats if they’re pure bread, show dog material. Lol thats Bullshit and I dont believe it.
And the reason for lawsuit is bullshit too. Aint no money gone restore her reputation. She dont have a reputation for having money!

I think for her to file the lawsuit on her own makes her look money hungry. She just sees an opportunity to make money. Come on, if black women sued everytime someone called them a ho, bitch, hell or even the N word, ever court in America would be filled.
She probably wouldnt win in court. Shes probably hoping he will just settle. He most likely will.

Oh my gosh about D’A.
The story about MV is too dramatic to believe, sounds like someone just wants to cause him more trouble. How can a man steal dogs from you, sell them on ebay, and use the $$ to help buy missiles…all that time for him to do all that stuff and you never went to the cops until now??? And how did he know that MV used the $$ to buy missiles? –too much.
Good for the Ladies- I think more of them are going to join the suit.

Vick - Purchasing missiles from Al Qaeda? Well Judah you spoke it! You said soon they would be blaming Vick for 9/11. I know this doesn’t directly do that, but you get the picture. This turned into a circus long ago. Vick needs to say a prayer because the saga won’t be over anytime soon!
Doubt the Imus case will ever go to trial. Lawsuit or not, a favorable outcome WILL NOT “restore the good name & reputation” of his client.

Her lawsuit isn’t warranted. If you sue someone for saying something you don’t like, then you are cutting down the freedom of speech. While there are certain times when you should sue (i.e, when your rights have been violated), her rights weren’t; he just made a tasteless statement that showed his ignorance. He was fired for it. Leave it at that.

I think the lawsuit is a bunch of BS honestly. I am an African-American and I of course feel that what he said was dead wrong and he was fired but we, (black people) say racist thngs all the time especially comedians and they are not fired but as soon as another race says something about us their so racist, I know its the content of what is said but when the day is over its still the same thing no matter who says it. Look how rappers disrespect females, movies, etc. and look how black comedians talk about whites and now tell me what’s the difference.
And as far as Michael Vick is concerned I don’t feel sorry for him; most of these entertainers (no matter what their profession) are stupid; they need to start being held accountable for their actions since society has placed them all above the law.

I’m so sorry Vick but if you are what they say you are then I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. Pray for my Falcons though…were gonna actually get a chance to see them without you…..Al Queda???….WTF???
I’m so over this Imus thing…did you here he got hired to do a Satellite Radio Show with a black female co-host that supposedly their to keep him in check if he says anything racist? Talk about capitalism….

Like I said when this mess came out. People Talked about Jesus. I expected more from those ladies. Kia is money hungry and small. Please sue me. I hope they see this or what it is. “Nappy Headed Hoe” I hope she does well in her life. I hope she does well enough to get the American Dream She thinks is a money. I hope that she doesn’t say something or do something that pisses someone off they sue her ass, CUZ CARMA IS A BEAST. Better yet I hope she not in the club dancing to the Yang Twin, 50 Cent, Ti, LIL John and all those other rapper saying it’s ok to be a whore as long as you are dancing to this song.
RU Student
Yea he did get 20 but he was hire to do what he did. I as a black woman dont listen to him so I learned of the statment from the press comfrence from the girl at their school. But botten line, she can still go to school and play basketball. No one fired her from the team. Will she feel better when she gets paid, are they going to be friends after this. And I just bet this is not the first time she been called a nappy headed hoe. The difference is everybody else been black with no money. I’m willing to bet good money that she has call someone that in her lifetime

Poor Vick I was ridinn with the dog lovers at first, but they doin too much shit. How you gone link the man to America’s worst enemy other than itself. We get you want him locked up.
She should sue, Imus was suing CBS for breach of his 120 million dollar contract, 120 million dollars, so if he can sue so can she. Since he got rehired at a different station associated with them I think it was dropped.

I guarantee you that if the shoe were on the other foot & Imus could be sueing them instead, for something they said: HE WOULD.
This is about saying what you mean & meaning what you say.
Prosecute him to the FULL EXTENT of the law!
The law is NOT worth the piece of paper it is written on:
Unless we use it.
You have the ability to express to him that what he did was wrong:
In ——-More Than———:
“Just Words.”
And that’s “HOW” you prove your point:
Through———–ACTIONS———- not just words.
This is indeed, the appropriate way to “Handle” the conflict.
By —-showing—— him EXACTLY what you mean:
without saying a word!
More, could take note of this same process……………….
