After Springfield, Ohio, was catapulted into the national spotlight thanks to a web of lies spun by Trump and his ride-or-die running mate, Senator JD Vance, Vance said that the damaging allegations about Haitian migrants eating pets are stories he’s willing to “create” because some mystery “constituents” swear it’s true.

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
As previously reported, Trump told the nation that Haitian migrants in Springfield were nibbling on domestic animals like it was a side hustle.
Now, the Proud Boys (aka the modern KKK) are marching, and schools are getting shut down from Springfield receiving bomb threats. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
But wait, Trump and Vance actually did.
The Goose (And Truth) Is Cooked
The eating/killing rhetoric first started when a Facebook post showed a man casually strolling down the street holding a dead goose, with a caption claiming that Haitians in Springfield were snatching pets and wildlife left and right. The problem is, that the photo wasn’t even from Springfield. In fact, it was snapped 50 miles away in Columbus, Ohio, back in July.
According to USA Today, the man was just walking down Cleveland Avenue with his poultry prize, not bothering anyone, much less decapitating ducks.
The man who posted the picture on Reddit apparently wasn’t trying to stir the pot and the Columbus Dispatch said the man’s reasoning for sharing the photo was because it wasn’t “something you see every day.” Well, he got that right!
Unfortunately, what he didn’t expect was for the picture to be hijacked and weaponized by anti-immigrant conspiracy theorists. Now, USA Today reports that he’s out here regretting his whole life, watching his innocent post get twisted to fit a racist narrative.
Despite no evidence of dead geese piling up on Springfield streets, the internet did what it does best: amplify misinformation faster than you can say “fact check.” Newsweek reports that the claim quickly went viral, and critics pointed out that the lie was about more than just pets. It was about creating a racist, fear-mongering narrative around Haitian immigrants—and let’s be real, Black people in general.
Whether Haitian or not, Black people everywhere became the target of these hateful rumors, all thanks to Vance and Trump’s reckless rhetoric.
Vance Swears He’s “Protecting” Americans (But From What Exactly?)
Now, here’s where things get even more ridiculous. JD Vance, ever eager to play wingman to Trump’s immigrant scapegoating, jumped in on the act. In post-debate commentary, he neglected to divert against Trump’s false narrative. He took the stage during his Senate campaign to make it clear that, in his view, Haitian migrants were illegal, even if they came to the U.S. legally through the Immigration Parole Program.
USA Today reports that he argued that by letting them in, the government was “abusing asylum laws” and putting American citizens at risk. His solution? Ship them out of here in record numbers and “protect” Americans.
But protect them from what exactly? Imaginary Haitian-led pet-eating sprees?
Vance and Trump’s xenophobic fear-mongering not only stokes fear, but also distracts from the very real issues Springfield faces as a city with a growing immigrant population.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Springfield, which has seen a surge of Haitian immigrants in recent years, is already grappling with challenges like housing, healthcare, and job integration. But none of that has anything to do with Haitians eating people’s pets. Instead, it has everything to do with decades of economic struggles in the city, a lack of proper resources, and insufficient infrastructure to support its growing population.
Springfield officials have consistently debunked these ridiculous claims. USA Today states that City Manager Bryan Heck publicly stated that there were no “credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”
ABC moderators of the debate were quick to fact check the lie, yet Trump continues to spew out #fakenews. The whole thing is just absurd.
Haitian Immigrants in the Crosshairs, A Racist Agenda
Let’s be real here. This isn’t about geese, cats or dogs. It’s about playing into a racist narrative that Haitians, and by extension, all Black immigrants, are dangerous. It’s about Vance and Trump stirring up the kind of paranoia that makes average Americans think they need to “protect” themselves from a Black boogeyman.

Critics have pointed out that this type of rhetoric doesn’t just hurt Haitian immigrants; it puts a target on the back of every Black person in America. Whether you’re Haitian, African American, or Black from any other background, when politicians peddle these types of lies, you become collateral damage.
USA Today reports that Sasha Rittenhouse, a Clark County commissioner, said it best during a city council meeting:
“No videos have surfaced, no pictures have surfaced, no dead geese have surfaced; there’s nothing to substantiate that it’s happening.”
Yet, here we are, with fear being spread across the country, all in the name of political points.
Meanwhile, Trump has promised the “largest deportation in history,” starting in—you guessed it—Springfield, because what better way to show your love for America than by kicking out law-abiding, hard-working immigrants who fled their home countries to escape violence?
Just to spice things up, he threw in a Venezuelan gang takeover in Colorado, for good measure. No word yet on whether the gang is also accused of cooking geese.
On Sunday’s episode of CNN’s State of the Union, JD Vance had a tense exchange with CNN’s Dana Bash who asked him to show the receipts of migrants “eating cats and dogs,” and Vance doubled down, saying he had firsthand accounts from constituents who told him this is happening, though he didn’t provide a single shred of evidence.
“The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes,” said Vance. “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” the Ohio senator said.
When asked about him calling it a “story that he created,” a defensive Vance snapped;
“It comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents. I say that we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it. I didn’t create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield thanks to Kamala Harris’ policies. Her policies did that. But yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris’ policies. Yes, we created the actual focus.”
Final Thoughts, Decapitating Lies
In the end, Trump and Vance’s campaign of misinformation is nothing more than a scare tactic that puts immigrants, Black people, and truth itself in the crosshairs. These lies do nothing to “protect” Americans; they only serve to divide us and fan the flames of hatred.
Next time you hear about Haitian immigrants decapitating ducks, just remember: the real beheading here is of the truth. They think we’re stupid…
Cops Are Trash: Former Memphis Officer Admits ‘I Was Angry, I Wanted Revenge’ When Beating Tyre Nichols To Death Over ‘Run Tax’
NEWSBossip Video
Source: Memphis Police Department / Memphis Police Department
Tyre Nichols lost his life at the hands of bloodthirsty police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, who didn’t “fear for their lives,” they didn’t “make a mistake,” Tyre Nichols was killed because five men with badges, guns, and uniforms wanted him dead. Don’t take our word for it though, listen to the words of one of the men who admitted under oath that the attack against Nichols was purposeful and malicious.
As BOSSIP previously reported, the federal trial against three of the five officers who fatally assaulted Nichols has begun, and according to ABC 24, one of those officers, Emmitt Martin III, is coming clean about just how dirty his deeds truly were. Martin and his blue buddy Desmond Mills Jr. have pleaded guilty to violating Nichols’ civil rights with their use of excessive force and failing to intervene to stop the illegal assault. Moreover, Martin, who is nicknamed “Smash Brother” readily admitted to his frame of mind during the attack and the violent culture of punishment in policing in Memphis.
Martin also spoke to the “run tax” that is excised against those who try to evade the long arm of the law.
Martin also admitted that Tyre wasn’t aggressive toward them and was given conflicting commands, and most damningly, Martin said, “He wasn’t a threat,” when talking about Nichols.
We hope the jury sends all of these “men” to prison for the rest of their lives.
Deeply Disturbing: Diddy Indicted On Sex Trafficking & Racketeering Charges, Accused Of Using Businesses To Engage In Kidnapping, Arson & Bribery
NEWSBossip Video
In the latest news surrounding Diddy’s arrest, the disgraced mogul has been indicted on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
Source: Mindy Small / Getty
As previously reported, Diddy was arrested Monday night in New York after federal authorities conducting a sex trafficking investigation raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami nearly six months ago.
Related Stories
Now, NBC News reports that per an unsealed indictment, federal prosecutors allege that he “threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires” for years.
He’s also being accused of “creating a criminal enterprise” whose members and associates engaged in” various crimes, such as “sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice,” according to court docs.
Details Of Diddy’s Indictment Released
TMZ reports that a significant part of the allegations centers on Diddy’s alleged “freak offs,” first described by Cassie Ventura in her 2023 lawsuit that was settled just one day later.
Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty
Prosecutors described freak-offs in the 14-page indictment as “elaborate, produced sex performances” orchestrated by the music mogul” who allegedly directed and recorded the events while masturbating.
The indictment alleges that the mogul lured women into his inner circle under the guise of romantic relationships, only “to be coerced into engaging in sex acts with male commercial sex workers,” a notion also previously alleged by Cassie.
The women were reportedly subjected to force, threats, and coercion, and prosecutors believe that Diddy and the women involved were allegedly administered IV fluids to recover from the physical toll of drug use including cocaine, GHB (the “date rape” drug), MDMA, ketamine, and other substances.
Page 7 of the indictment states that authorities seized “freak off supplies” that included 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Also seized were firearms, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers and a drum magazine, and alleged that Diddy carried or brandished firearms to “intimidate and threaten other others, including victims of and witnesses to his abuse.”
The indictment reads:
Prosecutors allege that in late 2023, following public allegations of the crimes, Combs and his associates would “pressure victims and witnesses, including through attempted bribery, to stay silent.”
It also sounds like there may have been recorded phone calls to corroborate this allegation.
On Tuesday, Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo spoke to reporters and said he would “fight like hell” to get Diddy released.
Agnifilo said Diddy’s spirits are “good” and called his client confident while pleading his innocence.
Yesterday, he released a statement to TMZ calling his client an “imperfect person” but “not a criminal.”

Body Cam Footage of Alleged Attempted Trump Shooter Ryan Wesley Routh’s Arrest Released
SLIDERBody cam footage of Ryan Wesley Routh’s arrest has surfaced in the aftermath of the suspect’s alleged attempt on Donald Trump‘s life.
Watch the video … Martin County Sheriff’s deputies are seen shouting orders at the alleged would-be shooter after he was pulled over on a Florida highway Sunday.
As Routh comes into frame, he is seen walking backward while holding his shirt high above his head … proving he had no concealed weapons on his person after allegedly attempting to assassinate the former prez on a golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Surrounded by several deputies holding rifles, Routh looks surprisingly calm … surrendering to the deputies on the scene, who cuff him and take him into custody.
The footage confirms what Martin County Sheriff William Snyder shared Monday morning on CNN … where he described Routh’s demeanor as “perplexing” during the stop.
The sheriff added … “His facial affect was so flat. His demeanor was relaxed. I honestly thought it looked like somebody that just left the church picnic and was on his way home.”
Routh became a prime suspect on Sunday after Secret Service clocked an AK-style rifle peeking out from some shrubbery about 400 yards away from where the former prez was playing a round of golf.
An agent responded to the potential threat by shooting into the area where the rifle was spotted … prompting the suspect to drop his weapon and flee in a nearby SUV. The suspect’s gun reportedly was not fired.
Authorities later shared they searched the shrubbery area where Routh allegedly fled from and found at least 2 bags (including a backpack), one with food in it … a digital camera … and a loaded “SKS-style” rifle with a scope. The gun’s serial number was “obliterated and unreadable,” according to authorities.
TMZ Studios
The Martin County Sheriff’s department put “all their resources” into locating the suspect after receiving an alert from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s department … Sheriff Synder confirmed Monday.
It’s a good thing they did, as they were able to apprehend the suspect … who is now in custody — and will remain there until his arraignment on Sept. 30.
Routh has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number … though, more charges are expected.

Clowns With Guns: NYPD Police Officers Shoot 2 Bystanders And 1 Fellow Officer Trying To Catch $3 Subway Fare Jumper
NEWSBossip Video

According to NBC NewYork, two NYPD police officers opened fire against a man who allegedly jumped the subway turnstile to skip out on a $2.90 fare. Upon observing the man, officers followed him onto a platform and ordered him to stop and turn to face them. The unidentified 37-year-old is said to have been argumentative and threatened to kill the officers saying, “I’m going to kill you if you don’t stop following me.”
The report states that the man then entered the approaching train and was chased by the officers who attempted to taser him to no avail. Upon exiting the train while it was still in motion, the man allegedly charged at the officers with a knife. In response, the officers fired multiple shots that struck both the alleged attacker and several innocent bystanders including another police officer.
New York Mayor Eric Adams attempted to spin the narrative about what happened on Twitter and was hit with a community note that exposed his…untruthfulness.
In addition to the fact-checking community note, an independent journalist for The City named Katie Honan posted a tweet explaining the note, “The mayor’s post is community noted because he didn’t mention every person shot on the subway — including one random straphanger in critical condition after being shot in the head — was shot by police.
The 37-year-old attacker is currently listed in critical condition.

Trump Campaign Says Shots Fired in His Vicinity, Former President Is Safe
SLIDER12:50 PM PT — Fox News’ Sean Hannity has just given a recap of events … saying he’s spoken with Donald Trump and Steve Witkoff — one of the people golfing with Trump this morning.
Hannity says the two of them were on the fifth hole when shots rang out. He says Secret Service returned fire to where they heard the shots. He says Trump and Witkoff told him Secret Service found an AK-47 at the scene and a suspect was identified and chased by local law enforcement — unclear if they arrested the suspect.
SH says it’s still unclear if the shooter was firing on Trump or if the shooter simply fired his weapon near where Trump happened to be golfing.
12:44 PM PT — Kamala Harris just tweeted about the shooting … saying she’s glad the former president is safe and adding gun violence has no place in the U.S.A.
12:37 PM PT — Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been informed of the shooting, according to the Daily Mail which cites a White House statement.
Donald Trump’s safe after his campaign says gunshots were fired near him … marking this the second shooting scare of the summer for the Republican candidate.
The former POTUS’ campaign team put out a statement just minutes ago … assuring people 45 is safe after gunshots popped off “in his vicinity.”
His communications director, Steven Cheung, adds the campaign has no further details at this time.
Politico reporter Meridith McGraw says multiple shots were fired at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach today — where DJT was reportedly playing a round of golf.
We’ve reached out to Secret Service and the local sheriff’s office for more details … so far, no word back.
Of course, this shooting comes about two months after a sniper shot at the former president during a Pennsylvania rally … killing two people and striking Trump in the ear.
Trump had to wear a bandage on his ear for a couple weeks after the incident … though he’s ultimately recovered from the shooting which caused a major uproar and led to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepping down.
TMZ Studios
It is unclear why the shooting happened or who was the target … though it appears the shots were not fired at the former president this time.
A representative for the Secret Service tells us, “The U.S. Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m,” reiterating Trump is safe and saying more details will come soon.

Perfect Timing: Shedeur Sanders Confronts Colorado State QB Over Instagram Trash Talk– ‘You Can’t F**k With Me’

After a year of trash-talking Shedeur Sanders and Colorado, Colorado State’s QB gets a rude awakening he can’t “f**k” with Shedeur.
Last year’s game between Colorado and Colorado State was intense and one of the most viewed games of the year. During the game, Travis Hunter was walloped and lacerated his liver which caused him to miss several games. For almost a year Colorado State players trash-talked Colorado and awaited a rematch.
Some players even revealed they turned down $600k to transfer to other schools just for the rematch.
While QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi led the front trash-talking on social media he was joined by his head coach’s wife who slandered Shedeur online.
However, Deion Sanders took the classy route when asked about the situation calling Jay Norvell’s wife “delightful” to flood out the drama. Last night, the much-anticipated rematch went down, and Colorado won 28-9. Shedeur was slinging the football down to the last second hoping to add to the score.
After the game, CSU QB Brayden attempted to shake the hand of Shedeur who immediately addressed his year-round slander. Poor Brayden was reminded in front of the world and straight to his face by Shedeur: “You can’t f**k with me” before he lowered his head and disappeared into the unknown.
Zero NIL dollars, Missed out on $600k, unlikely to be drafted to the NFL but at least Brayden had a delightful year talking trash right?
You can watch the confrontation between Shedeur and Brayden below.

Very Shady, ‘Very Demure’ Drama: Fans Suspect Law Roach & Naomi Campbell Shaded Rihanna & Her ‘Ta-Tas’ After NYFW Snub
CELEBRITY NEWS, NEWSBossip Video
The fashion faves are at it again! Law Roach and Naomi Campbell recently took to social media with a message. Fans and social media users have begun to speculate the duo was throwing shade Rihanna‘s way. This comes after a video of the beauty mogul seemingly ignoring Law and Roach began circulating social media.
Source: Mike Marsland/John Nacion / Getty
As BOSSIP reported, Rihanna recently appeared at the Alaïa fashion show during New York Fashion Week. Though running late, the singer and actress stopped and said hello to former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enniful. However, on the way to her seat, she walked past supermodel Naomi Campbell and fashion stylist Law Roach and did not acknowledge them. In the video, you can see Roach lean forward as if he was expecting Rihanna to speak.
There are many reasons why the mother of two may have opted not to say hello to the fashion icons. As mentioned, she was running late after presenting an award to her friend and Fenty Beauty’s creative director, Jahleel Weaver. Additionally, Roach and Campbell were sitting, so she could not have seen them.
Nevertheless, social media has been buzzing with rumors that Rihanna intentionally ignored them. It looks like Roach and Campbell believe the rumors and feel disrespected by the alleged snub. They recently posted a video imitating the viral “very demure” trend.
Roach and Campbell seemingly reference the “Man Down” singer’s many iconic fashion statements, many of which reveal her breasts. In response to the potential shade, many social media users tweeted in defense of Rihanna.
Law Roach Kills Rumors Of Rihanna Shade
In recent developments, Law Roach took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to the rumors of he and Campbell being shady ladies. In the 24-second video, Roach got straight to the point, stating that social media misconstrued the situation.
He also captioned the post, “Can Yall stop making s*** up?”
So far, X users are not buying it. One user believes Roach and Campbell knew exactly what they were doing.
However, there are a couple of commenters who understand are on Roach’s side.
Campbell has not made any public statements regarding the social media drama.
Do Naomi Campbell And Rihanna Have Beef?
The alleged New York Fashion Week snub continues to fuel the rumors that Campbell and Rihanna have a strained relationship. The two unfollowed each other on Instagram several years ago, sparking talk that they had a falling out. The origin of this potential beef has never been revealed. Additionally, when Campbell visited Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she shot down any talk of disdain for the singer.
“Everything’s fine,” she said in reference to her relationship with Rihanna. “I’m an actress now, Andy.”
“I don’t have beef especially with Black women. The support is powerful, we are all out there doing the same thing. We all have the same struggle,” she added.
Rihanna has not made any statements regarding the “snub” towards Roach and Campbell or their alleged response.
What do you think? Were Roach and Campbell trying to shade Rihanna?

In a controversial decision, an Adams County judge overturned a five-year prison sentence for Aurora paramedic Peter Cichuniec, converting it to four years of probation. Previously reported by BOSSIP, Cichuniec was convicted for his role in the 2019 death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain, a Black man who was injected with a fatal dose of the sedative ketamine while in police custody.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions from both prosecutors and supporters of McClain.
“Truly Exceptional” Circumstances Lead To Sentence Change

Judge Mark Warner cited “truly exceptional” circumstances in vacating the sentence during a brief hearing on Friday. According to the Denver Post, Cichuniec had been serving time for criminally negligent homicide and assault by drugging, after he injected McClain with a lethal overdose of ketamine.
The judge explained that the case involved unusual factors that warranted reconsidering the mandatory minimum sentence (as if deadly negligence while working doesn’t deserve serious consequences).
Prosecutors Slam Sentence Reduction
The prosecutors were not having it. Before the decision was made, they argued in a court filing that reducing Cichuniec’s sentence would “undermine the jury’s verdict” and Colorado’s mandatory sentencing laws. In fact, the Denver Post reports that such reductions are rare, with only 203 sentences modified between 1977 and June 2024 under the statute Cichuniec used to make his request.
“A sentence modification in this case will undermine the jury’s verdict, the legislature’s mandatory sentencing scheme, and the deterrence of the abuse of anesthetic drugs for improper purposes,” the filing stated.
Peter Cichuniec’s Role In Elijah McClain’s Tragic Death
Cichuniec was one of the key figures at the scene of McClain’s death. On that night in 2019, Aurora police placed McClain in a neck hold. Meanwhile, as the supervising paramedic, Cichuniec injected him with enough ketamine for someone 50% bigger than McClain’s 143 lbs.
According to the Denver Post, Cichuniec admitted during the trial that he administered the high ketamine overdose because he didn’t want to follow the regulations of injecting the lower correct amount and waiting for a doctor’s permission before giving McClain more.
Judge Warner’s Justification For Letting Cichuniec Walk
Despite the severity of the charges, Warner believed Cichuniec’s background played a crucial role in the sentence reduction. The judge took into account his clean criminal record, rehabilitative potential, and good character. It seems that McClain’s good character and complete innocence at the time of his arrest, based solely on reports of walking while wearing a mask, didn’t mean as much.
Warner noted that Cichuniec’s role that night was mainly logistical, and his decisions, though tragic, were made quickly under pressure. However, the first responders are trained and trusted to do just that so they can save lives in emergencies rather than take them.
Warner made it clear that the deterrence effect the case was supposed to achieve had already been accomplished, noting that this situation was “unique.”
Celebration and Disappointment In the Courtroom
As soon as the decision was made, Dever Post states that Cichuniec’s supporters erupted in tears and cheers.
“Pete is coming home,” they exclaimed.
However, the celebration wasn’t shared by everyone. A spokesman for Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office, Lawrence Pacheco, voiced disappointment over the ruling.
“We are disappointed the court reduced his sentence today, but we respect the decision.”
McClain’s Mother Opposes The Decision
Elijah McClain’s mother, Sheneen McClain, who has been vocal throughout the case, did not attend the hearing but has made it clear she opposes any reduction in Cichuniec’s sentence. Court filings confirm her stance.
Cichuniec isn’t the only one to face charges in connection with McClain’s death. Officials say that Paramedic Jeremy Cooper and former Aurora police officer Randy Roedema were also convicted of criminally negligent homicide but received lighter sentences, serving 14 months of work release.
Meanwhile, two other officers, Jason Rosenblatt and Nathan Woodyard, were acquitted of all charges.
This latest development in the Elijah McClain case leaves the door open for further debates on how medical professionals and law enforcement should be held accountable for their actions. Tragically, crooked cops aren’t the only ones who seem to get away with murder.
BOSSIP remains committed to updating this case.
