Four years ago, Lifetime’s ‘Bring It’ dance coach John Conner III was arrested and charged with criminal exposure of HIV after meeting a 16-year-old boy online, inviting him to join his dance troupe and then having unprotected sex with the teen. In August 2016, the teen told his parents about the relationship and said he should be tested after apparently hearing chatter about Conner’s diagnosis.

The teen did test positive for HIV and Connor was charged. Now, he’s been handed his sentence.

The dance coach was sentenced to nine months in prison Friday after pleading guilty to exposing a teenage dancer to the AIDS virus, WMC reports. According to District Attorney General Amy Weirich’s office, 30-year-old John Conner III must serve four years of sex offender probation once he is released from prison, and he must register as a sex offender for life.

But this isn’t over for the defamed dance coach. He has two similar cases pending involving 17- and 24-year-old sexual partners.

"Love Is Blind" Private Screening & Reception

“Some people want fame so bad!”

One of the controversial stars of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” is calling out the woman he fell in love with on the show. As previously reported Carlton who initially hid being gender fluid to his fiancee Diamond is claiming that he’s being hit with death threats and harsh criticism.

Now Carlton says Diamond herself is making disparaging comments about him in the press.

According to Carlton, Diamond was a guest on V-103 Atlanta and she and Tigger BOTH made biphobic and homophobic comments about him and his sexual history. He’s now threatening legal action.

Can y’all do me a favor and tell her STOP TALKING ABOUT ME IN THE PRESS! This “woman” literally just said on the radio “he made a CHOICE to be bisexual”! Oh so LGBT people made the CHOICE to deal with this type of homophobia and biphobia?! Then @bigtiggershow gets on and asks if she was worried due to STD and HEALTH concerns. I’ve been CELIBATE for the past 2.5 years by CHOICE and have NEVER had an STD! As if the LGBT community is just so promiscuous. How trashy! Some people want fame so bad! If this is how we are playing, LET’S GO! My LAWYER is READY!‼️ #Obsessed #Homophobe

Carlton also sent some shade Big Tigger’s way and accused him of being on the down-low. It also sounds like he might be threatening him.

“So @bigtiggershow implied that I have an STD this morning on his radio show and that it was the reason Diamond didn’t select me. Now, he’s posting about me on his story! YOU A BXTCH FOR THIS! How dare you play off of the ignorance of the Black Community. If we all started bringing receipts on your alleged DL escapades, we’d be asking you that question! I’ve been celibate for 2.5 years bc I don’t believe in sex outside of a relationship. Stop over-sexualizing the LGBT community. We deserve LOVE to. It’s more than sex to some of us. How irresponsible of @v103atlanta @themorningculturev103 to even allow this! My family is on the way to ATL! Bet.”

Now, Carlton……

This all comes after the two seemingly were playing nice in a PEOPLE magazine interview and spoke on getting back in touch after filming concluded in 2018. According to Carlton, they reached “common ground” and Diamond added that she forgave him.

CARLTON: It took a full year because I didn’t send a message until the holidays. And that’s because all the cast was on the GroupMe app and you can break off and do private messages. I’d seen that she was in there and the cast had met up on several occasions and I just didn’t go because I didn’t know what the energy would be. Not that I felt like she would lash out or anything. I just didn’t want for either one of us to feel uncomfortable because we had not had spoken. So I just wished her happy holidays she responded in due time. And I think the next message was Happy Birthday or something and then it just was small talk. And then when it came to us getting the emails saying the show was coming out, I called her. I’m glad that we were able to come to a common ground to still have respect for one another.

DIAMOND: I do understand where Carlton is coming from. The reason why I didn’t want to speak to him before was, because I needed time to just heal. Honestly, I was hurt. As you see, I’ve cried on national TV for hours. The cameras didn’t even get me right away. So I needed the time to heal. And then also I wanted to make sure I knew what to say and understand where he was coming from. Because I give Carlton the utmost respect for coming out and telling the world his story. And I feel like the world can be very negative about it and then they can be positive about it. I know it’s hard for anyone to do something like that. So I’ve wanted to make sure I had the right questions and just knew how to approach it. And also I had to forgive him and be able to be in a comfortable space with him. And once he apologized, I wanted to hear him out. I wanted to hear why. You never know what people are going through. You never know their story. And I really wanted to know what happened, what was going on and why it happened that way.

Sources say however that there have been other shady moments between the two that might play out in the press.

What do YOU think about Carlton and Diamond (still) having some petty public beef?

Stephen Belafonte Seeking Full Custody Over Mel B’s Daughter Madison

According to a TMZ Mel B is in jeopardy of losing custody of her daughter with ex-hubby Stephen Belafonte.

In court docs, Stephen claims Mel has ‘all but abandoned’ her youngest child since moving to the UK following her split from Stephen. The 44-year-old producer also claims he’s been the sole caregiver of Madison for the majority of 2018 and 2019.

The single dad claims in the docs that Mel is absent from Madison’s life. Stephen also wants Mel to have access to Madison but only in L.A. and only supervised visitation.

The documents come after Mel, also 44, had her request to take Madison home to the UK for Christmas blocked by courts in December after they ruled in favor of Stephen. In November, Mel filed court documents asking to return to the UK because she can’t find work in the US.

Yikes! Hopefully, these two get it together and come to an agreement soon that makes everyone happy. Thoughts?

Azriel Clary Is Back With Her Family

It’s been a rough week for Azriel Clary, one of R. Kelly’s girlfriends of the last several years, but she is finally back home with her family.

Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage both shared a relationship with singer R. Kelly who is now behind bars for sex crimes and obstruction of justice but their relationship came to a head this week during a domestic fight. The ladies recorded an argument that leads up to punches being thrown. Joycelyn was eventually charged with misdemeanor battery.

Fast forward, Azriel Clary has reunited with her family. The 22-year-old confirmed she was full of smiles after seeing her dad yesterday.

This reunion is significant because The Clary’s, Azriel’s mom and dad, have pleaded for their daughter to break free from R. Kelly on public platforms several times. Azriel had refused to be with her parents since she was 17-years-old but, in a statement to PEOPLE, Alica Clary says her daughter’s chains are finally broken and the ‘battle is won’!

“The battle is won because she’s still here, she’s still alive, she’s still breathing and though she lost a few years of her life, she’s still here to tell her story,” Alice tells PEOPLE. “Because I chose not to keep her secluded in her life, she’s here now and we’re able to say the victory is won because she finally came to her senses and she’s back home with her family.”

“My daughter could either not be here because of the choices she made when she was 17 or I get to be able to fight and help her grow,” she tells PEOPLE. “To be honest, the battle is won because she’s still here, she’s still alive.”

The ‘Love and Hip Hop Hollyweird’ star is keeping things moving after unfollowing single-mother-savior Fizz on Instagram. The single mother hasn’t addressed what has made her emancipate her timeline from her B2K lover yet, but folks are guessing they’ve called it quits.

Apryl just posted up this sexy video of herself in a deep cut bodysuit with a song playing on her phone with the lyrics “you sexy”. Fans have been in her comments asking her what’s happening with her love life and she’s been ignoring them.

Do YOU think this means that she’s single now?

In recent news, Tiffany Campbell, Fizz’s ex-girlfriend, revealed he was “boring” and insinuated that their #LHHH romance was fake. What are the chances Apryl and Fizz just made this all up for ratings? Thoughts?
