Toni Braxton Files For Bankruptcy Again

This week it was announced, one time LaFace Records recording artist, Toni Braxton, has filed for bankruptcy again. Previously, she filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in 1998, after selling millions of records. She blamed her financial state on LaFace Records, which was owned by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid and the low royalty rate they gave her. However, labelmate, Usher, commented at the time, Braxton simply spends too much money and it led to financial ruin. Both Braxton and Usher were right.

Braxton used her earnings to purchase a $1,000,000 Westwood condo, a $400,000 Atlanta mini-mansion, hundreds of thousands in designer clothes, shoes and jewelry, which she could have gotten for free for being famous, a $250,000 silver tea set, Faberge eggs, Gucci silver wear and a baby grand piano, among other things. The singer also owed lawyers and managers almost $3,000,000. With no available means to repay her debts, she filed for bankruptcy. Braxton was later schooled by talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, on how to manage her money. Well, it didn't work.

After being given a $10-$20 million dollar settlement from LaFace and restarting her career in the early 1990's, Braxton resumed her old spending habits. Fast-forward twelve years and she is in the same dire financial predicament once again. She is blaming her current financial woes on insurer, Lloyds of London, for failing to pay an insurance policy she purchased, in the event she fell ill, during a string of Las Vegas, Nevada shows, which went on for a few years.

However, Lloyd's refused to honor the claim, as she did not disclose she has a preexisting heart condition,, which could reoccur and it did, forcing Braxton to cancel a number of Las Vegas show dates. Irrespective of those claims, frivolous spending did play a role in her current financial decline. One look at the list of luxury creditors attached as apart of the bankruptcy filing, makes it abundantly clear. Braxton owes between $10 to $50 million dollars to a long list of creditors that include BMW, Tiffanys and the Four Seasons. Artists often make the mistake of believing their careers will always be hot and fail to plan for the time it is not.

"Shameless" & "Skins" Couple Go Holidaying After Attempted Murder Bid

Elliott Tittensor and Kaya Scodelario leaving airport after vacation last week

"Shameless" actor, Elliott Tittensor and his girlfriend, "Skins" actress, Kaya Scodelario, are being slammed for going on vacation, after seriously injuring a young man, in a case of attempted murder. The couple were seen nonchalantly exiting a Manchester, England airport, after a vacation in Marbella, Spain.

Two weeks ago, Tittensor and Scodelario, were occupant's in the former's BMW, which deliberately rammed an 18-year-old fan, Oliver Flint, who had asked to use a mobile phone, as his battery had died.

Flint nearly died as well, after being intentionally hit with Tittensor's car, which hurled him onto the bonnet, then the ground, where he hit his head on the curb. Doctors successfully stabilized the ensuing brain hemorrhage that threatened his life.

However, the incident left him blind in his left eye, due to damage to the eye socket. His right eye currently suffers from blurred vision. However, as the blood reabsorbs into the brain from the hemorrhage, the vision in his right eye may improve.

Tittensor took to his Twitter page to downplay Flint's families claims, stating "Please don't believe the papers people, it's an ongoing investigation for a reason. But we all know how the papers love to put people down" (link). However, as he has been arrested for attempted murder and police are looking over closed circuit camera footage for additional evidence, the case against Tittensor does not look good.

In addition to criminal charges, Tittensor will face a massive civil suit, due to the terrible injuries Flint sustained. One look at Flint's medical records and the accompanying pictures, will be enough to convince any jury the young man has been gravely harmed.

The money Tittensor has made for the past 8-years in the entertainment industry, on movies and shows such as "Shameless" which is nearly a million pounds, could be wiped away. His home in Manchester, could be targeted for sale as well, in order to satisfy any financial judgments the court levies.

Oliver Flint before the injury

If it is found Scodelario, who was a passenger in the vehicle, during the time of the incident and scornfully ignored Flint's request to borrow her phone, had anything to do with the tragic events, such as egging on or encouraging Tittensor's actions, she too could face a terrible civil suit, wiping out her earnings for the 4-years she has been in the entertainment industry, starring on "Skins" and in motion pictures.

It is very regrettable that this incident ever occurred, as it was completely preventable and unnecessary. Young lives have been destroyed, as Flint has lost his sight and Tittensor could lose his freedom and fortune, over poor choices.

It's a stunning look at the sad direction young stars are headed in, after years of being given everything they want and seldom hearing the word "No." Scodelario has been tainted by the incident as well, as she is being portrayed as a stuck-up snob that snubbed the victim and a passenger in the car that rammed him.

Regardless of any legal maneuvering and PR spinning that will transpire, Tittensor and Scodelario, are responsible for what happened that night. Their names and images have been changed for the worst and it is certain to cost them future employment.

"Shameless" & "Skins" Couple Slammed By Victim's Parent Due To Murder Attempt

Kaya Scodelario and Elliott Tittensor

Shameless" star Elliott Tittensor, 20, who deliberately rammed an 18-year-old fan with his BMW, as girlfriend "Skins" star, Kaya Scodelario, 18, callously sat in the passenger seat, has been slammed by the teen's mother.

Lulu Taddei, the mother of severely injured 18-year-old, Oliver Flint, who was on life support, stated from his hospital room, "The eye specialist has said he has lost the sight of his left eye and the vision in his right is very blurred and getting worse because of nerve damage. How can anyone do such a thing? It was inhuman. For a few hours we honestly believed he was going to die. Then when he came round I had to break the news to him about his eyes. He is struggling to come to terms with it and keeps asking me, 'Will I be able to see again Mum?' We are just praying that his remaining eye improves."

Flint spotted Kaya Scodelario at a Kentish Town McDonalds in North London. He asked the actress if he could borrow her phone, as his mobile's battery had died and he sought to call his brothers. Scodelario and her boyfriend, Tittensor, ignored the teen, who had just left a bowling facility, celebrating his brother's birthday.

His mother Lulu stated to the Sun Newspaper in London, "Oliver had had a few drinks, but certainly wasn't drunk. He asked Kaya if he could borrow her phone but she ignored him. He then went and asked the young man who was sitting in the car. We think the car was going at about 40mph when it braked really hard and Oliver flew into the road and hit his head on the kerb. But the young man in the car apparently just drove off without a second thought or care for him."

Skins Actress And Boyfriend In Attempted Murder Bid

Elliott Tittensor and Kaya Scodelario

Actor, Elliott Tittensor, 20 and his girlfriend, actress, Kaya Scodelario, 18, have made headlines in Britain, due to an attempted murder bid against a fan, who stood in front of their BMW, at a Kentish Town McDonalds in London, England.

Regular readers should remember the articles the Judiciary Report published on the vile television show "Skins" their involvement in Kabbalah and the Aisha v. FBI case. It is the most depraved teen show on the air (Top BBC Executive Charged As Pedophile, BBC's "Doctor Who" Admits Using People's Names, Image And Likeness In Scripts, Madonna Violates The Privacy Of Minors, Did They Learn Nothing From Heath Ledger, Teens Rushed To Hospital After Mimicking BBC Show). Scodelario was also under consideration to front Madonna & her daughter's Material Girls clothing line.

This latest incident involving the couple, resulted in Tittensor's arrest on attempted murder charges. An unnamed 18-year-old fan saw Tittensor at a local McDonalds and tried to speak to him. He ignored the teenager, who followed him outside, continuing an effort to strike up a conversation.

Tittensor, got into his vehicle, where his girlfriend Scodelario waited. The teenager stood in front of the BMW still trying to speak to the actor. What happened next is under police investigation, as one or both of the vehicle's occupants thought it a good idea to ram the teenager with the motor car, which sent him flying and onto the curb, where he hit his head.

The teen sustained serious head injuries, which pose a threat to his life and doctors believe he may have been rendered blind, due to the forceful blow. Tittensor and Scodelario fled the scene, leaving the teen for dead.

This should not have happened. If the young man was such a bother, due to standing in front of the vehicle, the logical and humane thing to do, would have been to call the police. I find it hard to believe this young man threw himself on the bonnet, risking head injury, blindness and death. Furthermore, why flee the scene if you two are innocent. The couple also face potential lawsuits from the victim's family.

As mentioned on this site previously, in the lawsuit Aisha v. FBI and to the FBI a few years ago in documents, before anyone else did, members of Kabbalah, believe in an Anthony Pellicano tactic of attempting to run over innocent people with cars, to teach them a lesson for offending them.

Years after my assertions were made regarding this matter, I was vindicated in my statements, as the 2008 Anthony Pellicano criminal trial, revealed for the first time, this same vehicular misconduct that transpired against me, also happened to Los Angeles Times writer Anita Busch and a wealthy Las Vegas businessman, who were illegally placed under surveillance and wiretapped by the aforementioned private investigator.

Anthony Pellicano was convicted in the 2008 criminal case and sentenced to 15-years in prison. The disgraced, vicious private investigator also faces additional charges and trials. This form of criminal misconduct is quite sick and a massive felony, posing a serious danger to the public.
