The criminal case was dropped after the accuser refused to testify.

There was a petition to revoke the nomination.

I am loathe to defend him but when Bryant wrote ‘I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night...’ I believe he was referencing something he wanted to do during their ‘consensual’ encounter. He wasn’t admitting to rape, especially in advance of the civil trial.

It is a beautiful ring! Congratulations!

She ran off with Jason Patric, not Benjamin Bratt.

Police were called when she and former fiance, Jack Wagner, got into a physical altercation years back. No charges were laid although they did both have to speak with the LA Attorney’s office some months later.

For the Tina Fontaine case they were unable to determine cause of death, there was no DNA evidence to link Cormier or anyone else to her death.

Estee Lauder is a minority shareholder.

He fired the co-CEO and the CFO resigned. Companies fire CEOs all the time.

Truaxe is the founder and very likely the majority shareholder. He is the person with the power to remove.

Brandon Truaxeis the founder and CEO of the company and very likely has controlling interest. Estee Lauder became an investor in mid-2017 and only hold a minority share. While they may be concerned at his recent behaviour, it would not be that easy to take control.

That’s not an aquamarine. It could very well be a vintage mine cut diamond. They are generally not very sparkly.

I stand corrected. Yuck. He really seems like an awful person to date.

She made a film with Gerard Butler and naturally the tabloids decided she must want to marry him, but I don’t believe they really dated.

Jennifer Aniston always gets singled out for some strange reason.
