Tory Lanez reportedly could’ve had less prison time than the 10-years he’s serving. Apparently he turned down a plea deal that would’ve only had him spending 4-years behind bars.
Tory Lanez Could Have Done Less Time Behind Bars
As you know, last month, Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10-years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion and violating some gun charges. Well, it turns out he was offered a deal for four years and he said ‘Nope’. Now he’ll have to all 10 and will probably be deported when he gets out.
Staff have accused Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon of making their lives miserable. A new article says he’s created a toxic work environment that has affected many employees.
Jimmy Fallon Accused of Tormenting Staff
Jimmy Fallon is being accused of creating a toxic work environment on The Tonight Show according to a new Rolling Stone article. Staffers allege that he regularly snaps and belittles crew members over small things and that his feedback on their work was needlessly harsh. It’s like, if he’s in a bad mood, everyone’s day is screwed. They say Fallon created such a toxic, stressful, fear-filled work environment that staff had to go in dressing rooms and cry. Some had to seek out antianxiety meds, seek out therapy, and three employees have struggled with suicidal thoughts. They also accused him of being completely drunk at work and smelling of alcohol on several occasions, accusations that he has denied that in the past. I’m going to be very honest. I was surprised when I heard that this morning. But you just never know. Here’s a link to the Rolling Stone piece that lays out the allegations against Fallon… https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-toxic-work-environment-crying-rooms-nbc-1234819421/

Appearing on the “Pardon My Take” Podcast, Campbell said he asked for a pet lion at practice.
“I’ll tell you what I would really love to do, just in general,” he said. “I’ve talked to (Lions owner) Sheila (Ford Hamp) about this. I don’t think we’re going to be able to do it, but I would love to literally just have a pet lion. Just a legit pet lion on a chain — a big-a** chain. And he just, he really is my pet. We just walk around the building, we go out to practice, we’re in 7-on-7, we’re behind the kicker when he’s kicking. We’re just … there we are.”
