Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears Accused of Child Sexual Abuse
Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears have been accused of child sexual abuse in a new lawsuit that claims the comedians forced minors to perform sexually suggestive acts for sketch videos. As The Daily Beast reports, a Jane Doe has filed the suit on behalf of herself and her younger brother.

We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run….” Once fans picked up on the news, another user asked if NOFX would play in Los Angeles before breaking up. To that comment, Fat Mike responded, “Los Angeles will b...
