"NAKED LIL NAS X FIGHTS COPS, CARDI B'S SPIT ATTACK TRIAL & WENDI ADELSON THROWS MOMMY UNDER THE BUS"

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Wednesday, August twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. Today on Celebrity Trials, we're putting the celebrity back in Celebrity Trials with some good old fashioned Hollywood insanity. Lil naz X allegedly attacked cops while completely naked on Sunset Boulevard and no, this isn't a music video. This is what happens when fame meets whatever he was. On Monday Night, Cardi B's assault trial is under way, and her former security guard just testified that the rapper spit on her, called her racial slurs, and attacked her with those weapon grade acrylic nails. Your bodyguard needs hazard pay when you're the hazard. And Donna Addlson's murder trial took a wild turn when her own daughter Wendy took the stand to basically say, Mom controlled everything in my life except you know, the murder of my ex husband. Sure, Wendy, Sure, all that and more on today's Celebrity Trials. Let's start with Monday Night's naked breakdown on Sunset Boulevard starring Lil nas X real name Montero Hill, who apparently decided clothing was optional and fighting cops was mandatory. According to LAPD reports, officers responded to a disturbance call around two am Monday to find the Old Town Road singer completely naked in the middle of

1:35 Sunset Boulevard, screaming at passing cars. When officers approached, Hill allegedly told them, and I quote the voices, told me, I need to cleanse the demons, the demons on Sunset Boulevard while naked at two am. When officers tried to get him to put on the emergency blanket they offered, Hill allegedly swung at Officer Martinez, catching him in the jaw. Then he tried to grab Officer Williams's taser while still completely naked. It took four officers to subdue him. Four grown adults to control one naked pop star having what appears to be either a psychotic break or the worst drug trip in Hollywood history. Hill was charged with two counts of battery on a peace officer, one count of resisting arrest, and one count of public indecency. He's currently being held for psychiatric evaluation at Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

2:30 His lawyer Dennis Block released a statement saying Hill is dealing with mental health challenges and we ask for privacy during this difficult time. Mental health challenges is that what we're calling running naked through traffic and punching cops. Now, look, I'm not making light of mental illness, but this is Hollywood, where mental health challenges is often code for took too much of whatever his dealer was selling. This is the same Lil nase X who made Satan's shoes with human blood in them, who gave Satan a lap dance in his music video, who's built his entire brand on shocking people. Well, congratulations running naked through Sunset boulevard attacking cops. That's definitely shocking.

3:14 The officers involved were treated for minor injuries. Officer Martinez has a bruised jaw. Officer Williams has scratches from where Hill tried to grab his taser. Four cops injured by one naked singer. TMZ got video of the incident, because of course they did, showing Hill completely nude, screaming about cleansing and demons while officers try to talk him down. At one point, he appears to be speaking in tongues, or maybe that's just how people talk when they're naked on Sunset Boulevard at two am. Hill's team is pushing the mental health angle hard. But here's the thing, whether it's drugs or mental illness, you don't get to attack cops. You don't get to endanger traffic. You don't get to turn Sunset Boulevard into your personal exorcism stage. Facing up to three years if convicted on all charges, but let's be real, he's a celebrity. He'll get probation, court ordered rehab, maybe some community service the Hollywood Special. Meanwhile, if any regular person ran naked through traffic, attacking cops while screaming about demons, they'd already be in state psychiatric hold or county jail. But hey, he made Old Town Road, so apparently that buys you a naked rampage pass in Los Angeles.

4:25 The demons on Sunset Boulevard, they're not supernatural. They're fame, drugs, and a justice system that treats celebrities like toddlers who need timeouts instead of criminals who need consequences. Now, let's check in on the Cardi b assault trial, which started Monday with jury selection and opening statements. As of this recording, we haven't heard from Cardi herself, but her former security guard Imani Ellis took the stand yesterday and folks, the testimony was brutal. Testified that on February twenty fourth, twenty twenty, Cardi b real name Belcalis Almanzar didn't just assault her, she humiliated her, spit on her, and used racial slurs against her. Your own security guard, the person whose job is to take a bullet for you. According to Ellis's testimony, the incident started when Carti was upset about something. Ellis isn't even sure what triggered it, but Carti allegedly started cursing at her, calling her a fucking bitch and worse, then came the racial slurs. Yes, a black woman allegedly using the N word against another black woman in a derogatory way. Ellis testified Carti called her a dumb N word and told her she was nothing. But the physical assault is what really stands out. Ellis testified that Cardi spit on her, spit on her in the middle of a pandemic. By the way, February twenty twenty, COVID was

5:55 already spreading and Cardi's spitting on people. Then those nails came out, those signature Cardi b acrylic weapons. Ellis testified that Cardi struck her in the face and head with those nails, leaving cuts and scratches. She was using her nails like claws. Ellis testified, I tried to protect my face, but she kept coming at me. The defense, led by attorney Alan Jackson, tried to minimize the incident, called it a brief altercation, suggested Ellis was exaggerating, claimed there's no medical documentation of serious injuries. Brief altercation. Your client allegedly spit on someone and attacked them with acrylic talons. That's not an altercation, that's assault with a manicure. Jackson also tried to paint Ellis as money hungry, noting she's seeking unspecified damages, right because wanting compensation for being assaulted by your employer makes you the bad guy. Other witnesses testified yesterday too. Marcus Johnson, another secure guard, said he saw Carti going off on Ellis, saw the spitting, saw the hitting, but he didn't intervene because, quote, you don't get between Carti and whoever she's mad at think about that her own security team was so scared of her that they wouldn't stop her from assaulting one of their own. Maria Santos, who worked as Carti's assistant, testified she heard Cardis screaming and saw Ellis crying. Afterward, said Ellis had visible scratches

7:26 on her face and spit in her hair. Spit in her hair. This is the same Cardi B who threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj, who pled guilty to assault for ordering an attack on strip club bartenders, who has a documented history of violence. But she's famous, she's rich, she makes music people dance to. So we're supposed to pretend this is just Carti being Cardi Number. This is an employer assaulting an employee. This is a powerful person abusing someone who depends on them for a paycheck. This is workplace violence with a Grammy nomination. The trial continues this week. Carti's expected to testify, though her lawyers might keep her off the stand. Can you imagine Cardi B under cross examination having to explain why she spit on someone, why she used those nails as weapons. Her defense is going to be that Ellis provoked her somehow, that it wasn't that bad, that no real damage was done, the usual celebrity excuses, But twelve jurors are going to have to decide. Is it okay to spit on your employees if you're famous enough. Is it acceptable to attack someone with your nails if you have enough Instagram followers? Ellis was doing her job protecting Cardi B. Cardi B's response was to assault her, humiliate her, and treat her like she was less than human. That's not just assault. That's a breakdown of basic human decency. And no amount of platinum records makes that okay. We'll be right back with Wendy Addelson throwing her mother under the bus, but somehow

8:59 not for murder. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one. The Donna Addelson murder trial took a fascinating turn yesterday when her daughter Wendy took the stand, and folks watching someone try to condemn their mother for everything except orchestrating murder is truly something to behold. Wendy Adelson, the ex wife of murdered FSU professor Dan Markel, testified for over two hours about her relationship with her mother, Donna, and according to Wendy mom was a micromanaging control freak who ran every aspect of her life. She micro managed everything.

9:45 Wendy testified what I wore, what I ate, how I raised my children, where I lived, who I dated, But apparently not whether to murder your ex husband. That's where Donna's micromanaging allegedly stopped. Come on, Wendy painted a picture of a domineering mumm who couldn't let go, who called constantly, who had opinions about everything, who desperately wanted Wendy and the grandchildren to move from Tallahassee to Miami. But when prosecutor Sarah Dugan asked the obvious question, did your mother arrange Dan's murder, Wendy said she didn't believe. So didn't believe so not absolutely not not. My mother would never Just didn't believe. So. Here's what Wendy admitted on the stand.

10:27 Her mother was devastated when the court wouldn't let her move the children to Miami. Her mother called Dan difficult and unreasonable. Her mother offered to pay for the most expensive divorce attorney in Florida. Her mother researched whether grandparents could get custody if both parents were dead. That last one let that sink in. Donna Addelson was researching what happens to grandchildren if both parents die before Dan was murdered, but sure she had nothing to do with it. Wendy also testified about us suspicious conversation with her brother Charlie after Dan's murder. Charlie allegedly told her I looked into hiring someone to hurt Dan, but it was too expensive, too expensive, not too wrong, not too evil, too expensive, but here's the kicker. Wendy admits she drove by the crime scene the morning Dan was murdered before anyone called to tell her about it. She just happened to drive by the exact street where her ex husband was dying from gunshot wounds. Her explanation she was going to buy liquor at ten am, taking a route she never usually took.

11:38 The defense tried to use Wendy's testimony to show Donna wasn't involved. Look her own daughter says she's innocent, But all Wendy really said was that her mother was controlling, obsessive and desperately wanted those grandchildren in Miami. You know what controlling, obsessive people do when they can't get what they want legally, they find other ways. Defense at Hey, Robert Morris tried to suggest that Charlie acted alone, that Donna knew nothing, But we have Charlie on wiretap saying his mother was involved in ways you can't even imagine. We have financial records showing large cash movements between Donna and Charlie around the time of the murder. We have Donna researching what happens when people get arrested for murder immediately after Dan's death. And we have Donna trying to flee to Vietnam on a one way ticket after Charlie's conviction.

12:28 But Wendy wants us to believe her micromanaging mother, who controlled what she ate and wore, somehow had nothing to do with solving the biggest problem in Wendy's life. Here's what I think happened. Wendy knows exactly what her mother did, but testifying against her means admitting she probably knew too. So she threads the needle. Mom was controlling, but not murderous. Mom was obsessive but not criminal. It's a performance, and not a very good one. The prosecution still has phone records to present financial documents Charlie's co conspirators who've already been convicted. The evidence is overwhelming. Donna Addelson orchestrated the murder of Dan Markel because she couldn't stand being separated from her grandchildren. She got her son involved, he got his girlfriend involved, she got gang members involved, and Dan ended up dead. Wendy can testify all she wants about her mother's micromanaging, but when you micro manage everything in your daughter's life except the murder of her ex husband, that's not innocence. That's consciousness of guilt. Those grandchildren Donna was so desperate to have near her, they're teenagers. Now, they've lost their father, their uncle is in prison, and their grandmother is on trial for murder. Great job, grandma, you really showed them what family means. The trial continues today with more prosecution witnesses, and despite Wendy's attempt to save her mother while condemning her for everything else, the evidence is clear Donna Addison was the puppet master who

14:01 set this entire murder plot in motion. She wanted those grandchildren close. Now she'll be lucky if they ever speak to her again. That's celebrity trials for Wednesday, August twenty seventh. Three stories today showing the full spectrum of celebrity insanity. A naked pop star fighting cops on Sunset Boulevard, a rapper who allegedly assaults her own security, and a grandmother whose love for her grandchildren allegedly led to murder. Fame, folks, it doesn't just corrupt, it destroys. It makes you think you're above the law, above basic human decency, above consequences.

14:42 I'm read, Carter, whether you're running naked through traffic, spitting on employees, or orchestrating murder plots, one thing's clear. Celebrities have forgotten that laws apply to them too, until the justice system reminds them. Sometimes, see you tomorrow.
