As mentioned in today’s Shannon’s Scoop, Sean Kingston and his mother face fraud charges at their arraignment hearing this past Friday.

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have found themselves in legal trouble. The duo was recently arrested and indicted on fraud charges. Sean Kingston allegedly used his celebrity status to rent or finance luxury items such as entertainment systems, cars, and jewelry but then failed to pay for them. This high-profile case even involves connections with other celebrities, although Justin Bieber, who was initially mentioned, is not involved.

Their arraignment took place last Friday, and it quickly turned into a spectacle reminiscent of a reality TV show. Sean Kingston and his mother made a dramatic exit from the courthouse, complete with middle fingers and a refusal to take the situation seriously. Despite the charges, they pleaded not guilty to the wire fraud accusations tied to a million-dollar scheme. As their defense prepares for trial, the internet has been a mess with reactions to the bizarre courtroom antics.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this case as it unfolds and you can catch the video of their courthouse exit below.
