Could alleged OJ Simpson knife threats on Twitter “I will cut you!” send him back to jail?

The juice is loose and could be starting Twitter beef in his first week on the social media platform.

OJ Simpson reportedly has threatened to cut a man behind a Twitter parody account that made fun of him and the nasty text exchange could land OJ back in jail for violating the terms of his parole, The Daily Mail reports.

But is it really him?

OJ Simpson joins Twitter and says he has a ‘little gettin’ even to do’

On Sunday, OJ’s Twitter account @TheRealOJ32 reportedly sent seven direct messages to the parody account @KillerOJSimpson, which makes fun of the former football star who was charged and acquitted in the brutal slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

OJ reportedly first sent a demanding message to the parody account writing: “Delete this account or I will have my lawyer remove it for false misleading content I didn’t post.”

The man behind it refused to which OJ following up with a stronger demand: “Like I said, delete this ‘Parody’ account as you call it or face serious consequences by me. I’ll find your a** one way or another so don’t mess with me. I got nothing to lose. Grow up.”


The parody account played OJ and sent a thumbs-up emoji and a knife emoji, further agitating him.

Simpson then too sends a knife emoji reply back with the message: “You think I’m playing? Tired of all your bulls–t. I WILL FIND YOUR A** AND CUT YOU — Don’t believe me? Just watch and see b**h.”

OJ then reportedly send 16 more knife emojis followed by the message “You next.”

O.J. launched the Twitter account with a video post in which the former football star said he’s got a “little gettin’ even to do.”

According to the New York Post, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Public Safety said that Simpson was still on parole, and that the Division of Parole and Probation “takes threats or acts of violence against public safety very seriously and is looking into the alleged complaints.”

“If there is an alleged violation, an investigation will be conducted and appropriate actions will be taken by the Division and the Parole Board,” spokeswoman Kim Smith told the Post.

Under Nevada law, knowingly threatening to “cause bodily injury in the future to the person threatened” is outlawed as harassment, which is punishable as a misdemeanor for a first offense.

Jay-Z helps Black family held at gunpoint by Phoenix police at Family Dollar as they sue city for $10 million

Parents, Dravon Ames, and Iesha Harper blasted the police chief after she apologized for how police brutally confronted and harassed the couple and their young daughter after threatening them with guns for allegedly stealing items from a store.

Ames, who was with his 24-year-old pregnant girlfriend and their two young children, said he thought he was going to die on May 27, The Daily Mail reports.

Now the family is suing the city for $10 million and although they haven’t been charged in the case, Jay-Z has stepped in to pay their legal bills.

Police claim Ames also took underwear from the store.

“They put a gun in my daughter’s face, and you’re asking me about drawers?” Ames, the father told reporters as he held back tears.

Ames explained that he thought he and his family were going to be “executed.” The cops he said yelled for them to “put their f****** hands up or I’ll put a f****** cap in your head.”

“My family has been through enough. You see in the video the fear. The sounds of my daughters crying, and you’re asking me about some drawers?

“I thought we were all going to be executed. By the grace of God, someone was there to video this,” he said.

As for police chief Jeri Williams’ apology, Ames said she can save it.

“It feels like a half apology. The officers are still working. It’s a slap in the face. It’s like putting lemon juice on an open wound.

“Everyone knows they are not fit to be policing,” he said.

A town hall meeting is scheduled for tonight.

VIDEO: Trevor Noah blasts Phoenix police for holding Black family at gunpoint at Family Dollar

On Monday, Daily Show host Trevor Noah sounded off on the Phoenix police over the brutal confrontation of a Black family that ended with aiming guns in the face.

Parents Dravon Ames and his pregnant fiancee, Aisha Harper, said they were completely unaware that their 4-year-old daughter had taken a doll from the store, but that officers responded by pointing guns and yelling obscenities at them and their two young daughters. A viral video released on Friday back up their claims and shows the harrowing encounter that has many calling for the officers to be fired.

The family has responded to the incident by filing a $10 million claim against the city accusing the police of battery, unlawful imprisonment, false arrest, and infliction of emotional distress. The couple also maintain cops violated their civil rights.

“There’s no excuse for this,” host Noah said. “There’s no excuse. Unless maybe the cop says he arrests people in the way that he thinks that they speak. Maybe he’s like, “Yo, Black man, get your ass on the ground. And as for you, ese, you better stop acting like a pendejo. And you, Belgian guy, I don’t know how you speak. Waffles, waffles waffles.”

Noah then turned from stoking laughs from his audience to chastising the police for their brutal handling of the family May 27th.

“I’m sorry, guys, you don’t need to show up like a SWAT team to rescue a Barbie from a little girl,” Noah said, according to AZ Central.

“If anything, you should be rescuing the little girl from the Barbie. You should be getting there like, little girl watch out, that Barbie can give you a warped sense of what a woman’s body is supposed to be!”

“You would think that cops cursing at civilians and pointing guns at a 4-year-old child would be as bad as the story could get,” Noah said. “But what makes it even worse is that if we didn’t have these videos, those cops would have been able to paint a very different picture of how this all went down.”

“You know what’s most troubling about this,” he continued, “is that it makes you wonder how many people have been arrested and put in jail because everyone assumes the police version of events is always the truth. Time and time again, cellphone videos contradict the official reports.’”

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is stepping up to offer financial support to the young family victimized on May 29.

“Brandon loved life, he loved his people, he loved his brothers, he loved all of his cousins,” she said who holding on to her son Blake.

Webber was reportedly shot upwards of 20 times as Marshals attempted to serve several warrants.

A vigil was held by community members and Webber’s family to call for calm in the neighborhood.

2020 Candidate Pete Buttigieg must confront racism after Black father killed by police

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg pulled himself off the presidential campaign trail Monday after the fatal shooting of a black man by a white police officer in his hometown forced him to confront issues of race and policing.

The Democrat canceled several days of campaign events after returning to South Bend, where he spent the day meeting with community members and faith leaders following the shooting of 54-year-old Eric Jack Logan early Sunday.

Sgt. Ryan O’Neill had been responding to a call about a suspicious person going through vehicles when he spotted Logan leaning inside a car, St. Joseph County Prosecutor Ken Cotter said. When confronted, Logan approached the officer with a 6- to 8-inch knife raised over his head, Cotter said. That’s when O’Neill fired twice, with the other shot hitting a car door, Cotter said.

The shooting presents both political peril for a candidate who’s struggled to connect with minority voters and an opportunity to show leadership on issues of race and policing that are critical — and personal — for much of the Democratic primary electorate.

Buttigieg has transformed from a relatively obscure 37-year-old mayor to a top-tier candidate in a crowded Democratic presidential field. His handling of the shooting could also test his ability to navigate the demands of the campaign trail while still performing his day job.

“I did consider it important to be here to have these conversations,” Buttigieg said in South Bend on Sunday after cutting short a campaign trip. “I know that whenever an incident like this happens, there is tremendous hurt that can come about. That the city will be hurting.”
Asked by a reporter how the shooting might affect his presidential bid, Buttigieg declined to answer, saying, “Right now I’m here as mayor.”

The white mayor has had a sometimes-tense relationship with the black community dating back to his first term in office, when he fired the city’s first black police chief. He has also faced criticism for his handling of police misconduct cases, including a case involving an officer who was twice disciplined for civil rights violations but not fired, and for not having a police department that reflects South Bend’s diversity. Roughly 40% of the city’s residents are black or Hispanic; the department is almost 90% white.

Buttigieg said Sunday that he was sometimes hesitant to speak publicly after shootings involving police earlier in his time as mayor and that he heard from the black community that he needed to be more open and transparent.

“One of the reasons we’re communicating up front right now is because of lessons learned from members of the community,” he said.

Logan’s wife, Shafonia Logan, told reporters after meeting with the police chief Sunday night that she had many questions about what happened to her husband of 13 years. She said her husband called her early Sunday asking her to pick him up, as he was out with friends, but she was in bed, and he replied that he would walk to his mother’s house a few minutes away.

“I don’t know what happened or what they say — he was breaking into a car?” she said. “Was that justified for him to shoot and kill him about breaking in a car?”

Shafonia Logan said that she never knew her husband to carry a knife or a gun and that he was afraid of police officers. She also questioned why her husband was taken to a hospital in a police car rather than in an ambulance.

She said her husband had five children from other relationships.

Logan was released from prison in June 2018 after serving a sentence for a 2009 St. Joseph County conviction on three felony counts of dealing cocaine or narcotics, according to Indiana Department of Correction records. He had other convictions since 1988 on drug possession and handgun violation charges.

Cotter said no police video exists of the confrontation as the officer’s dash and body cameras weren’t automatically activated because he was driving slowly without his emergency lights on while looking through a parking lot.

DeRay McKesson, who began protesting the police killings of black men in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, and has advocated for reforms addressing policing and communities of color, also said there are many questions left to be answered. He said that Buttigieg made the right choice to leave the campaign trail.

“We will all be watching to see how Buttigieg deals with this latest case of a police officer killing a citizen,” McKesson said. “He is still the mayor of South Bend. In leaving the campaign trail to be the leader he was elected to be, we will get perhaps the best glimpse into how he makes decisions under public pressure.”

Buttigieg initially canceled Monday campaign events in New York, then later canceled a Tuesday trip to California, where he had a series of fundraisers scheduled, including one at the home of director and producer Ryan Murphy and his husband.

The candidate has proved to be a fundraising juggernaut, raising more than $7 million in April alone, according to a person close to the campaign who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss financial details.

Harvard pulls Parkland student’s admission over racist n-word social media posts

A survivor of the Parkland school shooting announced Monday that Harvard University withdrew his admission over racist comments he made in a shared Google Doc and text messages nearly two years ago.

In a series of posts on Twitter, Kyle Kashuv shared several letters he received from the Ivy League school first notifying him that his admission offer was being reconsidered in light of the comments and, later, that it was being revoked.

The decision stems from comments that have surfaced online recently and that Kashuv says were shared among friends when he was 16, months before the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Screenshots that have circulated on social media appear to show Kashuv using racial slurs on Google Docs, an online word processor, and in text messages. The comments include anti-Semitic barbs and repeated use of a slur referring to black people.

Kashuv, now 18, has apologized for the comments and said he didn’t remember them until they spread online. In a May 22 statement on Twitter, as the comments began to spread, he said they were made by a “petty, flippant kid” and not the person he has become. He later said he made poor choices but bears no real racial hatred.

“We were 16-year-olds making idiotic comments, using callous and inflammatory language in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible,” he wrote in his May 22 apology. “I’m embarrassed by it.”

Two days later, Kashuv received a letter from Harvard demanding an explanation for the comments, noting that the school reserves the right to withdraw offers of admission for behavior that calls into question an applicant’s “honesty, maturity or moral character.”
Kashuv told Harvard that he “unequivocally” apologizes and that the remarks don’t represent the person he is today. “I take responsibility for the idiotic and hurtful things I wrote two years ago,” he wrote in a letter. “I made absolutely no excuse for those comments.”

In a June 3 response, Harvard’s admissions dean thanked Kashuv for his candor but said the school’s admissions committee, which makes the final call on applications, had voted to withdraw his offer.

“The committee takes seriously the qualities of maturity and moral character,” William Fitzsimmons wrote in a letter that Kashuv shared online Monday. “We are sorry about the circumstances that have led us to withdraw your admission, and we wish you success in your future academic endeavors and beyond.”

Harvard spokeswoman Rachael Dane declined to comment on the decision, saying the university does not publicly discuss individual admission cases.

Only rarely do colleges withdraw acceptance offers, but it occasionally happens. Harvard sparked debate in 2017 when it pulled offers from 10 incoming freshmen after they reportedly made racist and sexually offensive comments on Facebook.

Some experts said the 2017 case raised questions about freedom of speech, while others said colleges are right to have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to racism and hate.
While some Parkland survivors have gone on to become prominent advocates of gun control, Kashuv has championed gun rights and the Second Amendment as he pushes for other school safety measures.

Kashuv said he had been planning to take a year off before starting at Harvard, so he could continue his work promoting school safety. Now he’s “exploring all options,” he said, but has missed the deadline for many colleges and already turned down other offers.
Kashuv’s posts on Monday drew mixed reactions on social media, with some saying he deserved to be forgiven and others saying Harvard made the right decision.

Tiffany Haddish presents Jada Pinkett Smith with top honor at MTV Movie & TV Awards

The MTV Movie & TV Awards aired Monday night and Jada Pinkett Smith took home the night’s biggest honor when she won the Trailblazer Award.

The host of Red Table Talk was dressed in a silver suit when she took the stage to accept the award from her Girl’s Trip costar, Tiffany Haddish. 

Our new fave: 5 powerful life lessons we could all learn from Lizzo

“Starring in some of my favorite TV shows and movies isn’t what makes her a trailblazer. Neither is the fact that she’s dedicated her life and much of her own dollars and time to help those less fortunate than herself with the Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Foundation,” Haddish said during her week introduction.

“She’s the one everyone who knows her goes to…That’s why I always ask her if I can have some money and it’s the fact that she’s never stopped pushing boundaries. She doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘No,’ which is also why I ask for money,” she joked. “She’s not making a talk show. She makes a show with real talk.”

Jada Pinkett Smith speaks on past porn problem: ‘I had a little porn addiction’

Queen Latifah and Alicia Keys also shared some loving words about their friend in a pre-recorded clip before Jada took the stage with her son, Jaden Smith, by her side.

“I had to think, ‘Jada, why don’t you think you deserve this award?’ And it was because I was comparing myself to all the many trailblazers that I admire and I realized, ‘Okay, maybe we do have something in common.’ Often we applaud the trails people blaze in the external world that we can see, but very rarely do we applaud the trails that are blazed in the hidden rooms of the mind that are full of uncertainty, false beliefs and pain,” she said during her acceptance speech. “It’s these internal obstacles that must be challenged in order to muster the courage to forge new paths that we can see in the world…Every last person in this room must do that in some capacity. That means that every single person in this room is trailblazing whether it’s within or without,” she continued.

Pinkett Smith took time to shout out everyone in the room before she concluded her speech.

“I want to say, ‘Here’s to us for all of our trailblazing,'” she said. “Keep it up and thank you.”

“I thank you, all of you at home. You are the reason I’m getting this…I want to share a really quick lesson with you guys, I’ve learned the most powerful thing we can be is ourselves,” he said.
“We are still that little kid just aspiring to be something better, aspiring to be important. When I first got to Hollywood, Hollywood they didn’t know what the hell to do with me. I mean I was half black, half Samoan, six-foot-four, 275-pound pro wrestler…I was told at that time you’ve got to be a certain way, you’ve got to drop some weight, you’ve got to be somebody different, you’ve got to stop working out, stop doing the things that I love, you’ve got to stop calling yourself ‘The Rock.’ For years I bought into it because you think, ‘Oh, that’s what I’m supposed to do and I was miserable doing that. I made a choice that I wasn’t going to conform to Hollywood, Hollywood was going to conform to me,” he continued.
“When I was 15, I heard a quote and I’ll never forget it, “It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice.”
