Marisa Meltzer interviews Zendaya, the workaholic Virgo whose movie ‘Dune’, the highly-anticipated remake of the legendary 1965 cerebral sci-fi novel, will be released in cinemas on October 21. In a separate interview, Zendaya warns fans that her role is a small one that required her to film for only four days but with actor Timothée Chalamet.
"I'm honored to present on-screen two talents [Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya] that are so explosive, and I can't wait to shoot the second part of Dune to get them back together," director Denis Villeneuve told La Repubblica (translated by IGN). "Knowing that in the next chapter Zendaya will be the [female] protagonist of the story."
The mega talent will also be on tour for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ hitting theaters on December 17.
#RHOA: Kenya Moore Reacts to Porsha Williams’ ‘RHOA’ Exit!
Kenya Moore is opening up about the flood of Real Housewives of Atlanta exits. Moore talked to the folks at ET backstage after her tantalizing tango on Monday's Dancing With the Stars, where she spoke on Porsha Williams' departure from the show and who could be joining next season's cast.
"I think people should do what makes them happy, and if that makes her happy, then good for her," Moore said of Porsha stepping away from the series.
With Cynthia Bailey also leaving RHOA, there's plenty of room to shake up next season's cast, and that means some friends to the show may soon be holding a peach, specifically Marlo Hampton. While the pair have had their share of disagreements in the past, Moore said if the news is true, she'd be happy for her.
"Oh, I never say never. I just feel like, you just never say never. I'll leave it there," Moore said of Hampton potentially joining the series. "Never say never. I'm happy for her too, if that's true."
And with rumors swirling that the 50-year-old reality TV star was told to choose between DWTS and RHOA, it's still to be seen whether or not Moore could be the next one to put down her peach.
"Well I guess if there was an ultimatum, I guess we know which one I chose," Moore, who is currently competing on season 30 of Dancing With the Stars shared. "I've always wanted to do this show. I'm here, I'm loving every minute of it. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Of course I love doing Housewives, and having that opportunity, so I think it will work itself out."
Moore, who has been improving by the week on the dance competition series, told ET that she's still learning to trust her partner, Brandon Armstrong.
"The honest answer is that I don't have a great track record when it comes to men and trusting them. When I have put my trust in them they kind of ruin it," she explained. "And you guys know that I'm going through a divorce, and those feelings are very new, and to have someone come in, I'm guarded, you know. I don't want to relinquish that control, which is a lot of what trusting is about."
#MusicNews: The Weeknd Says His New Album Is ‘Complete’!
The Dawn is coming. The Weeknd has announced that his new album is done. During Monday’s episode of his Apple Music show “Memento Mori,” he provided an update on the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2020’s After Hours.
“Some Dawn updates… Album is complete,” he revealed.
However, he is still waiting to secure some features. “Only thing missing is a couple characters that are key to the narrative,” he added. “Some people that are near and dear to me, some people that inspired my life as a child…and some that inspire me now.”
Added Abel, “More to come in the following months.”
He did not say if the album would drop this year, but he did tease “some exciting features coming out in the fall before the album drops.”
In August, he kicked off the new era with the album’s first single, “Take My Breath.”
“It’s the album I’ve always wanted to make,” The Weeknd told GQ, who described his new music as “Quincy Jones meets Giorgio Moroder meets the best-night-of-your-fu**ing-life party records.”
The Toronto crooner, who is settling into his new $70 million Bel-Air mansion, is also venturing into “another world” with TV projects including his upcoming HBO series “The Idol.”
#HipHopNews: Drake And Chris Brown Sued For Allegedly Stealing ‘No Guidance’ Song!
Drake and Chris Brown are being sued for allegedly stealing a singer’s song for their collaborative hit single, “No Guidance.”
According to documents obtained by XXL on Wednesday (Oct. 6), Braindon Cooper a.k.a. Mr. Cooper, and producer Timothy L. Valentine a.k.a. Drum'n Skillz, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming that Drizzy and Breezy's 2019 single, “No Guidance," lifted elements from Cooper and Drum'n Skillz's 2016 ballad "I Love Your Dress."
In their suit, Cooper and Drum'n Skillz claim the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement and narrative context from their song were allegedly copied or principally derived for "No Guidance.” The singer and producer specifically point out that their lyrics, "She got it, she got it,” are repeated 16 times on their song, while Drake and C. Breezy’s "You got it, girl, you got it" are mentioned at least 11 times.
The plaintiffs also claim that highly regarded musicology experts have compared "No Guidance" and "I Love Your Dress" and found a "high degree of combined similar features, including the hook lyrics and the primary scale degrees.” They also claim that non-expert listeners have separately pointed out that defendants copied "I Love Your Dress" in creating "No Guidance" as well, citing numerous noticeably similar composition elements and lyrics.
Elsewhere in the suit, Cooper and Valentine allege that Drake and Brown taunted them with the “Flew the coop” line, which Cooper claims is in reference to his nickname, Coop.
Cooper and Valentine are seeking monetary damages for the alleged infringement that include no less than 50 percent of all direct and indirect royalties and revenues generated by the commercial success of "No Guidance." They also want to examine the accounting of Drake and Chris Brown's financial records related to "No Guidance" to determine the rightful amount owed to them.
"No Guidance” is from C. Breezy’s Indigo album and is certified platinum. The nine-minute-long video for the song has garnered over 373 million views on YouTube since its debut in July of 2019.
Also named in the lawsuit is Drake’s longtime collaborator and friend Noah "40" Shebib who produced the track, along with producers Vinylz, J-Louis and Teddy Walton.
Kanye West helping Kim Kardashian prepare for ‘SNL’ hosting gig!
Kanye West is in New York to secretly help Kim Kardashian in her debut gig hosting “Saturday Night Live”.
The rapper and the reality queen are both in the city as she prepares to host the NBC show this Saturday.
The move comes amid gossip that the former married couple — who are going through a divorce — may be reconciling.
A source said, “Kim is nervous about hosting ‘SNL,’ its a big challenge but she is determined to be a success.
“Kanye is quietly advising her on her performance, her opening monologue, even her costumes for the show.”
Kardashian, 40, was on Tuesday spotted exiting her Upper East Side hotel clutching a large Balenciaga bag on her way to the NBC studios in Midtown.
She is expected to start rehearsals on Wednesday, after a Tuesday night host dinner with “SNL” guru Lorne Michaels.
She previously admitted on Instagram she was feeling “the pressure” about the big gig after Debra Messing questioned why Kardashian is hosting.
The “Will & Grace” star asked if she was “missing something”, adding on Twitter, “Why Kim Kardashian? I mean, I know she is a cultural icon, but SNL has hosts, generally, who are performers who are there to promote a film, TV show, or album launch.”
Meanwhile West, 44, was spotted hanging out in Manhattan on Sunday night with “Weekend Update” anchor Michael Che, and fellow comedians Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Busta Rhymes at the Stand Comedy Club where they celebrated Talib Kweli’s birthday, as well as Chappelle’s new Netflix special, we’re told.
Meanwhile, Kardashian — who filed for divorce earlier this year — and West have continued to prove they are friendly exes, meeting up for dinner in Malibu last week.
The estranged pair were spotted leaving Nobu Malibu after having dinner with Tracy Romulus, who works as the chief marketing officer of KKW Brands.
Upon leaving, Kardashian got into the same car as the Yeezy designer, with West in the driver seat.
Ava DuVernay Is Working On Two New Black Female-Led Projects For DC Comics!
DuVernay tweeted: “Looking forward to introducing our screen adaptations of ‘Naomi’ and ‘DMZ’.”
The award-winning filmmaker and producer is already directing a film adaptation of DC’s New Gods.
According to Deadline, Naomi will be adapted for the screen “based on the eponymous comic book series that debuted in 2019, co-written by Brian Michael Bendis and David F. Walker, and illustrated by breakout artist Jamal Campbell.”
It follows the story of a teen superhero’s “journey from her small northwestern town to the heights of the multiverse.”
“When a supernatural event shakes her hometown to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins — and what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes,” the outlet detailed.
While it’s unclear who will star in the lead role, we know that Naomi is depicted as a Black teenage girl in the comics.
Variety shared that DMZ , the 4-part drama, will be “set in the near future when America is embroiled in a bitter civil war” that’s left Manhattan “a demilitarized zone (aka DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world.”
Starring Rosario Dawson in the lead, “it chronicles the harrowing journey of fearless and fierce medic Alma Ortega, who sets out on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost in the evacuation of New York City at the onset of the conflict,” the source detailed.
Adding fuel to the fire, character Parco Delgado will serve as a “popular — and deadly — leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ” who “wants to rule this new world, and will stop at nothing to secure that outcome.”
While there are no premiere dates in sight for either upcoming series, Naomi is set to air on the CW, and DMZ will be on HBO Max.
Rachel Maddow announces she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery!
Rachel Maddow opened The Rachel Maddow Show Wednesday by revealing to her audience why she had been out Monday and Tuesday. Maddow explained that while she and her partner of 22 years, Susan Mikula, were at a minor league baseball game, Mikula noticed a mole on Maddow’s neck that had changed. Soon after, Maddow asked her longtime hairdresser about the mole, who said the same. So Maddow went to the dermatologist where she got the diagnosis.
“Long story short, Susan was right, Dianne was right,” Maddow said. “I went to the dermatologist, she said, ‘Hey, you know what? That mole has changed.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve heard that.’ Did a biopsy, turns out it was skin cancer.”
Maddow had surgery to remove the cancer on Friday, which is why she was out, and said she’s in the clear for now.
“I had a few days off because I had surgery at NYU Langone on Friday. They’re fantastic. They got it, they got all of it,” Maddow said. “I’m good, I have clear margins and the whole thing. I now need to have everything checked, like, every five minutes from here on out because I do not want to get this again.”
Maddow, who had a barely-noticeable bandage on her neck and face, said she feels great and is going to be just fine. In fact, she felt like she could have gone to work the night of the surgery.
“I am going to be absolutely fine,” Maddow said. “I’m going to be totally fine, but that is why I have a band-aid. I actually have felt fine since I got the surgery on Friday, in terms of how I felt, and pain levels and stuff. I could have come back right away. I could have been on the air Friday night. I didn't do that because I didn't want to weird you out because of the visual of me having the band-aid.”
Maddow also urged others to get checked because skin cancer is highly curable, but only if caught early enough.
“Even the skin cancers that are the deadliest skin cancers in this country, those too are way more treatable than they used to be on one condition: That you get them early,” Maddow said. “Even the most worrying forms of skin cancer. If you identify it early enough, it is now quite treatable.”
The Rachel Maddow Show airs weeknights at 9 p.m. on MSNBC.

Diplo Responds To Sexual Misconduct Claims at Length!
Diplo is responding to a report that he may face criminal charges over claims he raped a woman and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted infection.
The 42-year-old DJ had been accused by a woman of recording sexually explicit videos of her without her permission, distributing at least one without her consent and knowingly infecting her with chlamydia, according to the report from Buzzfeed News.
Now, Diplo is facing criminal charges for the allegations.
“We are reviewing the referral and have no further comment at this time,” a spokesperson for the LA city attorney, Rob Wilcox, shared with Page Six.
The woman is also claiming that Diplo had raped her in his Las Vegas hotel room after one of his concerts, but no criminal charges have been filed over the alleged incident.
Diplo’s lawyer denied the claims.
“Yet more lies from the same disturbed individual who has been stalking and menacing Wes, his family and his friends for years,” Bryan Freedman said. “As is well known, this person tried to extort Wes for millions of dollars and, after he refused to pay her a penny, launched an unceasing campaign of harassment against my client. She has been peddling her lies around the country in a desperate attempt to harm Wes and those he loves, but she will not succeed.”
Diplo even made his own statement about the allegations on his Instagram.
Here’s what Diplo’s Instagram says:
“I will keep this story easy to read because I know the internet has a short attention span, and it was my goal to never address a stalker. I will refer to her as ‘SA’ (and you can find anything easily online) she was an obsessed fan of mine, and after I relinquished all contact with her, it appears that her only purpose in life has been to disrupt my work, my business, harass me and my close friends and attack me and threaten my family. to be clear, SA was not a minor when I had conversations or sexual intercourse with her. Her own text messages admit this.”
He continued, “I had a night of consensual sex with her. Basically, SA reached out to me and I declined a few times but at one time decided to meet her. After that experience, we had exchanged texts for a few months, there was small talk, sexual flirting, she would send me pics and videos..eventually it got too much to handle and, I stopped contact with her when I realized she had started to become obsessed with me, it began a nightmare of almost three years of her harassing and threatening me my family and my friends.”
“SA would offer her friends and other people to have sexual experiences with, and that’s when I began to get suspicious that she was engaging in criminal activity, and was possibly a call girl. Here are some of the texts over the course of months ..”
Diplo adds that SA started to “call and text me day and night on different numbers and whatsapp. She began to come to my house when I wasn’t there. one time I just hid in my neighbor’s house and ignored her. I don’t think she could physically harm me but I was afraid she was going to harm herself. We always took the high road when dealing with her. We tried to deal with her in court and help her find help. Our detective had found out she had a previous restraining ordered against her in Florida (more on this later) after we rounded up many of her fake accounts.”
“She denied having any fake accounts and said her friends were out to get her and pretending to be her…?? nothing was making sense and I really was getting worried she could be this delusional.”
“When I was expecting my third son, it really threw her over the edge, she became obsessed with my son’s mother just as much as she was with me, calling and berating her and sending extremely racist comments to her and sharing my text messages from years ago. The mother of my first two children had already deactivated her Instagram account because she couldn’t take all the hate mail coming from what we believe to be SA’s fake
accounts (and again this is her blaming people for making these fake accounts to attack my family members).”
“Culture is quick to follow unsubstantiated claims. I’m a public figure and this comes with the territory and I understand that. I want to add also these previous claims have been dropped or abandoned and those facts go unreported. This is so frustrating and embarrassing. I am not this person and I won’t be extorted by anyone no matter how stinging the press can be. Even over the past 2 years I’ve never been bothered by these rumors if anything it has made me stronger and smarter, all of my friends and partners have never questioned me and that was what has been important to me. The people in my life know me for who I really am. I will continue to do everything I can to end this in the most respectful way but I will not give in to lies and harassment.”
BREAKING: Federal Judge Orders Texas To Suspend New Law Banning Abortions!
A federal judge just ordered Texas to end their abortion laws. Which since September stopped most abortions in the nation’s second-most crowed state.
U.S District Judge Robert Pitman orders have given Texas its first legal hit to the Texas law which is known as Senate Bill 8. During the time that the restrictions started, Texas abortion officials say the impact was “exactly what we feared.”
“A state may not ban abortions at six weeks. Texas knew this, but it wanted a six-week ban anyway, so the state resorted to an unprecedented scheme of vigilante justice that was designed to scare abortion providers and others who might help women exercise their constitutional rights,” Justice Department attorney Brian Netter expressed to the federal court Friday.
According to abcnews, even though the law is currently on hold, abortion clinics in Texas may not instantly start because doctors may fear being sued without more permanent legal decision.
Texas is looking to do a quick appeal on this decision. As we previously reported, Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law back in May which would stop abortions once cardiac activity is detected which is typically around six weeks, before most women even know they are pregnant. Texas also made it known that they will file lawsuits against violators that could cost them at least $10,000 in damages.
Kanye West earns first-ever diamond song with “Stronger”!
After nearly two decades in the rap game, Kanye West has earned his first diamond song. The Chicago native’s song “Stronger” has gone 10x platinum, according to chart data.
“Stronger” was released in 2007 as the second single from Graduation, the rapper’s third studio album. Within weeks of its release, it peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. The song became Ye’s third No. 1 single and later went on to earn him the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 50th annual award show.
In the years following, Kanye released a slew of projects, including My Beautiful, Dark and Twisted Fantasy, The Life of Pablo and Ye, which went platinum in September alongside his single “Devil in a New Dress.”
As streams for Ye’s old music continue to increase, his new album has equally earned lots of attention. The “Heard ‘Em Say” emcee reportedly made an estimated $12 million before Donda even dropped. Per multiple news outlets, the money came from merchandise and the listening parties he threw to tease the album named after his late mother.
As previously reported by REVOLT, Kanye has also designated a few more projects after his mother, Donda. He is eyeing four acres of land on Tierra Rejada Road to launch a private school titled Donda Academy, which sets out to equip “students with an education that will last in the ever-changing world,” per a tweet from the school’s account.
The Chicago star also filed a trademark application for “Donda” with hopes to use the name for his new line of tech products. According to TMZ, the brand may include tablet computers, audio speakers, surround sound systems, earbuds, headphones, wireless headsets, smartwatches, smart glasses and activity trackers among other things.
Will Smith Admits He And Wife Jada Aren’t Monogamous!
Will Smith gets candid in a new GQ interview about his marriage to actress Jada Pinkett Smith and her “entanglement” with singer August Alsina.
Smith tells the publication that most people concluded that Jada was the only one having relations outside their marriage, which he explained is not the case.
“Jada never believed in conventional marriage.… Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection,” Smith said.
“We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. And I don’t suggest our road for anybody. I don’t suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Smith recalls a conversation he had with intimacy coach Michaela Boehm about his fantasy of having a harem including Berry and ballerina Misty Copeland.
“What she was doing was essentially cleaning out my mind, letting it know it was OK to be me and be who I was. It was OK to think Halle is fine. It doesn’t make me a bad person that I’m married, and I think Halle is beautiful. Whereas, in my mind, in my Christian upbringing, even my thoughts were sins. That was really the process that Michaela worked me through to let me realize that my thoughts were not sins, and even acting on an impure thought didn’t make me a piece of sh*t.”
And there you have it.

Sha’Carri Richardson Sounds Off Once More on Haters Who Critiques Her!
Sha’Carri Richardson is clapping back once more at any of her haters that continue to “talk mess” about her on social media.
On Monday, Oct. 4, she uploaded a short video of her saying “All y’all suck ass” with a loud laugh at the end. On the video, she wrote, “Yall get on this app to talk mess meanwhile in real life…” to indicate that her previous comment would be her response to them. She also posted a meme that said, “I ignore a lot of shady sh-t because y’all be ugly anyway.” Then she wrote “No foreal” above it.
Richardson’s had a year filled with both highs and lows. She won the 100 meters final in the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials back in June, qualifying for her first Olympics. That victory and her self-confidence is what made so many fall in love with her and gain her popularity.
But things quickly went south just days after her win when she was disqualified from competition for a month after failing a drug test for marijuana, meaning she would miss the Olympics. Richardson she had smoked cannabis in order to help her cope with the recent death of her mother.
In her first race after the suspension in August many were excited to see her compete, but her performance didn’t match her fans’ expectations.
She came in last place in the 100 meters at the Prefontaine Classic in Oregon and then came in fourth at a Diamond League race in Europe in September. The contrast between her back-to-back losses and her continued bravado caused some people who were once rooting for her to criticize her.
Many advised her to tone down her confident personality and instead be humble. Even track star Usain Bolt said in a recent interview that she should “just train hard and focus on that and try to come back, do it and then talk about it.”
However, Richardson has opted to continue to defend herself, eliciting more backlash. Reacting to Richardson’s clapback on Oct. 4, some fans left supportive comments, while others continued to blast her.
“Her mouth run faster that her feet. Do better baby🥴,” said one person. “She needs a publicist and a social media manager,” advised another.
Commenting in support of her, one person wrote, “🤣🤣 y’all mad cause she won’t let y’all break her 🤣🤣,” and another said, “She right ! Everybody was on her side & then turned on her 🙄 now she gets talked down on constantly & y’all get mad when she respond .. like please gtfo 🤣.”
Ellen Degeneres Launching Kind Science Skincare Line!
On Tuesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the embattled comedian announced that she’s launching a skincare line called Kind Science.
“There’s something that I’m very excited about. I have been working on this for three years and I’m excited to share it with you today,” she said, first joking that her big news was figuring out “how to turn off the flashlight on [her] iPhone.”
She went on to announce her new business endeavor, describing the skincare line as, “age positive skin care that actually works.”
In addition to family and friends, DeGeneres added that the line – which will be available to shop on October 26 – was sent “to other people to test it” and “everyone’s loving it.”
“We call it Kind Science because it is kind to animals, it is kind to your skin, it’s kind to the planet, and it’s kind to your wallet. So it’s all kind,” she added.
While exact products have yet to be revealed, Kind Science’s website teases “high performance, effective skincare” with the tagline, “embrace your age, not your wrinkles.”
DeGeneres announced in May that she was ending her talk show after 19 seasons, citing that it was “just not a challenge anymore.”
The announcement came amid accusations of workplace misconduct and a reported decline in sponsors and ratings.
Although she’s previously starred in Covergirl campaigns, Kind Science marks DeGeneres’ first foray into creating her own beauty products. She also currently has her own home decor line, ED by Ellen.
Kind Science is the latest in a slew of star-powered brands, with famous faces including Jennifer Lopez and Alicia Keys among the many celebrities who’ve started their own skincare lines.
Kelis’ Husband Mike Mora Reveals He Has Stage 4 Stomach Cancer!
Mike Mora, the husband of Kelis, revealed that he has been diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. In a series of Instagram posts, Mora, who has been married to the “Milkshake” singer since 2014, shared his experience since finding out he had the sickness a year ago. Shortly after moving to the farm with his family, he said he noticed something was wrong and began to feel pains in his stomach. The photographer began to lose his appetite and started feeling back pain.
After seeing several specialists, he was diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma and the disease had progressed to the lymph nodes in his back.
“This picture was taken as I was being transferred to the oncology section of UCLA Santa Monica from nearby Ronald Reagan hospital,” Mora captioned an Instagram post. “This gentleman, Latin brotha, saw how weak I was. He looked back at me before leaving my room and said, ‘I’ve seen people make it out of the craziest situations, be strong brotha, you got this.’ I’ll never forget his face….”
The photographer also stated that last year, the doctors told him he only had 18 months to live. In a follow-up post, Mora explained that he was sharing his story to his followers so they can see how “it’s possible to make it through.”
“You always see people post about how life is too short,” he wrote. “How you should reach out to those you love no matter where life has taken you. It is the truth. Don’t take your time here, your time with friends, family, for granted. Shit can be over just like that!”
Since sharing his story, Mora has received an outpouring of love from people on social media. On Wednesday (Oct. 6), he thanked everyone for their words of encouragement and said it’s making him stronger.
Chris Brown Off the Hook for Allegedly Slapping Woman’s Wig Off!
Chris Brown is off the hook for his battery charges after the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office declined to move forward with the case.
Prosecutors declined to pursue the incident that occurred in June when a woman accused the “Loyal” singer of assaulting her at his San Fernando Valley home. The victim told police that Brown hit her in the back of the head with so much force that it caused her wig to fly off. The woman filed a battery report, though Brown was never arrested. She did not sustain any injuries aside from her weave taking a beating.
The attorney’s office says there is insufficient evidence to bring charges against the 32-year-old.
While the battery case may be behind him, Brown must now face a separate legal battle over his hit record, “No Guidance,” featuring Drake. Music duo Drum’n Skillz says the two ripped off their song, “I Love Your Dress,” for their 2019 single. They have filed a lawsuit against both music stars.
Texas Man Sentenced for Falsely Claiming He Paid Someone With COVID-19 to Lick Items at Grocery Stores!
A Texas man was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely claiming that he paid someone with COVID-19 to lick items inside of grocery stores last year.
Christopher Charles Perez, 40, was charged with two counts of false information and hoaxes related to biological weapons after he posted two messages on Facebook in April of 2020 in an attempt to scare people away from shopping in stores in the San Antonio area.
“My homeboys cousin has covid19 and has licked everything for past two days cause we paid him too,” the message read, the New York Times reports. “YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.”
The FBI launched an investigation after receiving a screenshot of Perez’s post from the Southwest Texas Fusion Center, which was passed along through an online tip.
The agency was able to determine that the post was a fake, and Perez confirmed to authorities that he was lying. In addition to prison time, he will be required to pay a $1,000 fine.
“Those who would threaten to use COVID-19 as a weapon against others will be held accountable for their actions, even if the threat was a hoax,” Christopher Combs, FBI San Antonio Division Special Agent in Charge, said. “Perez’s actions were knowingly designed to spread fear and panic and today’s sentencing illustrates the seriousness of this crime.”
In August, a London man was taken into custody after he allegedly visited three separate supermarkets and “injected foodstuffs with a number of needles.” While authorities believe the suspect only tampered with processed meat and microwaveable products, customers were advised to throw out any items bought on the day he was inside the stores.
It was unclear at the time what exactly was inside the syringes he used.
Student Taken Into Custody Hours After Texas School Shooting!
ARLINGTON, Texas -- An 18-year-old student opened fire during a fight at his Dallas-area high school on Wednesday, injuring four people and then fleeing before being taken into custody hours later, authorities said.
Timothy George Simpkins was taken into custody without incident, the Arlington Police Department tweeted. He was booked in the Arlington jail on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was being held on $75,000 bail.
One person was in critical condition, another was in good condition and a third person was treated for minor abrasions and was scheduled to be released from the hospital later Wednesday, police said. A fourth person was hurt but did not require treatment at a hospital. Police said earlier that three of the four injured were students.
The shooting at Timberview High School, which is in Arlington but belongs to the school district in neighboring Mansfield, stemmed from a fight that broke out in a classroom, Arlington Assistant Police Chief Kevin Kolbye said at news conference before Simpkins' arrest.
“This is not a random act of violence,” he said. “This is not somebody attacking our school.”
A spokeswoman for Simpkins’ family said he had been bullied and robbed twice at school.
“The decision he made, taking the gun, we’re not justifying that,” said family spokeswoman Carol Harrison Lafayette, who spoke to reporters outside the Simpkins’ home while standing with other relatives. “That was not right. But he was trying to protect himself.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating how the suspect got a gun. Local police from other nearby jurisdictions, including the cities of Mansfield and Grand Prairie, assisted Wednesday.
Student Hanyla Milligan said she first got word of the shooting when she heard a commotion.
“Someone outside of my classroom said, 'He just shot him,” the 16-year-old Milligan said, and then she heard people running. “People were scared. They was crying. They was shaking.”
After news of the shooting spread, hundreds of parents gathered at the Mansfield Independent School District Center for the Performing Arts about 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the high school to be reunified with their kids, who were bused over. Among them was Justin Rockhold, whose ninth-grade son had texted to let him know he was OK.
Rockhold said he has served in the military and he drew on that experience to instruct his son, telling him to keep his head down and be still to stay safe. When asked whether he had thought a shooting could happen at the school, he said his military training is also a reminder of life’s dangerous realities.
“Obviously in America — in the world we live in today — it’s always something. ... It’s in the back of your mind,” Rockhold said, adding that he was praying for the injured. “I’m just blessed today that my kid’s safe.”
Timberview serves about 1,900 students in the ninth through 12th grades. The sprawling complex opened in 2004.
Arlington, with a population of about 400,000, is a major suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The city is home to attractions including the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park and the stadiums where the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and MLB's Texas Rangers play. Authorities closed a section of a tollway in Arlington near Timberview as dozens of school buses picked up students to reunite them with their parents. Some waited for hours to collect their children as traffic in the area crawled.
The shooting Wednesday happened just days after a shooting at a Houston charter school that injured an administrator. Texas’ deadliest school shooting occurred in May 2018 when a 17-year-old armed with a shotgun and a pistol opened fire at Santa Fe High School near Houston, killing 10 people, most of whom were students.
