Pinky Cole Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged $87K In Unpaid Rent At Two Slutty Vegan Atlanta Locations

Pinky Cole is once again facing a lawsuit over alleged unpaid rent, this time involving two Slutty Vegan locations in Atlanta.

Slutty Vegan founder, Pinky Cole Hayes, is facing a new lawsuit over claims of unpaid rent at two of her Atlanta restaurant locations.

An affiliate of Asana Partners, the real estate firm behind popular Atlanta hubs like Krog Street Market and Plaza Fiesta, has filed a complaint in Fulton County State Court accusing Cole and her current and former businesses of breaching leases on two Edgewood Avenue properties, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. According to the suit, Cole and the entities owe more than $87,000 in back rent, late fees, and interest.

The lawsuit follows Cole’s February 2025 financial restructuring, when she revealed that she briefly gave up ownership of her business to an assignee due to a $10 million corporate overhead and cash flow issues before repurchasing it under a new entity, Ain’t Nobody Coming to See You, Otis LLC. Since then, her businesses have faced lawsuits in Maryland and New York over alleged unpaid rent and credit card charges tied to the period before the restructuring.

As news of the latest lawsuit made its way to social media, reactions are mixed, with some offering Cole prayers and encouragement. In contrast, others argue her business troubles stem from the rapid expansion of the Slutty Vegan franchise.

“Praying that she’s able to clear this all up in Jesus’ name, amen! Let’s pray for ppl to win,” one supporter wrote before the critics chimed in.

“Expanding without the proper knowledge base of sustainability is clearly what occurred here,” one critic wrote.

“Case of growing and franchising too big too soon! Something I shared with the owner in the beginning and was shunned!” claimed someone else.

Some questioned how Cole, who recently spoke at Invest Fest in Atlanta, can offer guidance to other business owners while facing ongoing challenges with Slutty Vegan.

“But she was at a workshop this past weekend telling folks how to manage business,” they wrote.

Cole has been candid about the challenges at Slutty Vegan. In March, she shared how the restructuring stemmed from “chasing something that I couldn’t catch for many reasons,” with the business growing too large and costly to manage. The shake-up also led to the cancellation of a planned Concourse B location at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the closure of the on-campus Spelman College spot, replaced by Twisted Taco.

Despite these hurdles, Slutty Vegan continues to operate eight locations nationwide, five in Georgia, and one each in Alabama, Maryland, and New York.

Angel Reese Reveals Latest Reebok Release Honoring Baltimore ‘Charm City’

'This one's for Charm City, to honor my roots and the community of Baltimore that has backed me from day one,' said Reese.

Reebok and WNBA star Angel Reese announced the next release from the Chicago Sky center as the colorway of the footwear will represent her hometown NFL team, the Baltimore Ravens.

The Reebok Angel Reese 1 is debuting September 18 with three colorways: Diamond Dust, Receipts Ready, and Mebounds. According to Sports Illustrated, Reese just revealed a fourth color way that is scheduled to go on sale in October, which honors her city, Baltimore.

The sneaker that she wore in her recent basketball game against the Connecticut Sun, called “Charm City,” will be available for consumers in October for a reported $120.

“This one’s for Charm City, to honor my roots and the community of Baltimore that has backed me from day one,” said Reese. “This city gave me my grit and made me who I am today.”

The shoe matches the team colors of the Ravens.

Recently, the Chicago player made many children in the city where she plays very happy when the second-year WNBA player was on hand at International Sports Chicago, where over 2,000 students walked away with supplies to use throughout the school year.

The event took place on Aug. 16, where the students received new Reebok backpacks filled with school supplies. At the back-to-school event, attendees were surrounded by live music and food to help set them up for the new school year. The gathering was presented by Reese’s nonprofit organization, Angel C Reese Foundation, and powered by Reebok.

Although Reese has been playing a little banged up this year, as she has missed a number of games, she is still breaking and making records in her second year in the WNBA.

Reese just tied another record with Tina Charles. This is Reese’s 45th career double-double, reaching the feat in only 60 games, while Charles got hers in the 68th game of her career during the 2010-2011 WNBA season.

She is also tied for this season’s lead with Alyssa Thomas and A’ja Wilson.

VIDEO: Man Threatens Lawsuit Against D.C. Authorities Over Racially Targeting Black Residents

Unidentified man seen on video being detained in the street and not being informed of why he was in handcuffs

With the current climate in the Washington, D.C. area being volatile after being sieged by a direct order from President Trump as he has directed the National Guard to take over law enforcement efforts, a man’s video clip of him being detained is making the rounds.

A video clip of the unidentified man was posted to the Instagram account of a group that calls itself harrietsdreams. They label themselves as a Black-led abolitionist community looking out for Black people who are “at risk for state-sanctioned and inter-community violence in the DC area.”

The unidentified Black man is seen in handcuffs between a police officer and an FBI agent, being filmed as he expresses his thoughts on being detained in the streets of Washington, D.C. He claims that he was only walking down the street and was approached by at least 20 law enforcement officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

Although he was caught with a weapon, he claims that he wasn’t asked about his magazines for the gun, so he can only assume that they are holding him with the possibility of planting evidence. He was ensuring that those witnessing the scene would listen to his account of the stop by law enforcement officers.

He did state that he was being detained for more than 30 minutes without any of the officers telling him what he was being held for. He has vowed that he will be filing charges against anyone who has touched him in any capacity.

As phone cameras were rolling, he told the crowd, “As an officer of the D.C. Bar, that these officers are violating my civil rights under federal law, and I will be pressing charges.”

“This is tragic. In a country where Black men are being killed by people that look just like this, I was sneered at, I was ignored, and I was not told why I was being detained.”

Woman Receives Prison Sentence After Impersonating Dead Mother In 25-Year Social Security Scam

The fraud scheme started in 1999 following her mother’s death, up until 2024.

A judge sentenced a woman to one year and a few days in prison after federal prosecutors caught on to her Social Security scheme, impersonating her deceased mother for 25 years to collect benefits, USA Today reports.

The daughter of the year is Mavious Redmond of Austin, Minnesota, who fraudulently collected $360,627 by pretending to be her deceased mother to claim Social Security Retirement Insurance Benefits. The fraud scheme started in 1999 following her mother’s death. Until 2024, Redmond used her mother’s identity, using biographical information including her birth date and Social Security number, on official forms. When necessary, Redmond forged her mother’s signature and acted as her mother during phone calls and in-person visits to the Social Security Administration (SSA) office.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson labeled Redmond’s scamming ways as “brazen and shameless.” “This wasn’t free money. It was taxpayer money, stolen from a program built on the hard work of Minnesotans who paid in every paycheck,” he said.

After her mother passed away, Redmond called the SSA offices to hypothetically inquire about how the benefits would be terminated if she died. Officials told her that she would be required to notify the SSA of her mother’s death so the benefits could be terminated; however, Redmond never did.

While Redmond’s attorney, Robert Meyers, labeled his client as “not a hardened criminal,” her scheme included fraudulently taking $3,200 of COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments that the IRS processed into her dead mother’s bank account. However, Meyers says this was all out of desperation. “Mavious Redmond’s crime was a crime of opportunity born of desperation,” he said.

“This fraud was not so that she could live large.”

After living with her parents her entire life, the 54-year-old was forced to survive with no support system following her mother’s death. Redmond worked full-time at a local Subway, earning $8 an hour and relying on food pantries, but after her scheme was uncovered, she secured employment at a McDonald’s, working 25 hours a week for eight months. However, once the fast food chain learned of her Social Security scam, she was fired.

Describing herself as a housing stabilization advocate, Redmond moved to the Twin Cities area, living in a homeless shelter and actively applying for jobs.

As Redmond will be on supervised release for a year once released from prison, Thompson says her case is just a small area of growing concern about the fraud crisis within the nation. “Cases like this are part of the broader fraud crisis gripping our state, where too many see taxpayer programs as their own personal piggy banks,” he said, according to KARE 11.

“We will not let it stand. We will keep bringing prosecutions until every fraudster in Minnesota understands there is a price for stealing from the taxpayers.”

Trump-Appointed Judge Pushes For New Majority Black State Senate District In Alabama

Montgomery’s District 25 is currently represented by Sen. Will Barfoot, a white Republican, and District 26 is represented by Sen. Kirk Hatcher, a Black Democrat.

A federal judge, appointed by President Donald Trump, rules that the state of Alabama must redraw its Senate map to include a majority Black — or close to — district in Montgomery, or be in violation of the Voting Rights Act, AL reports.

The current map gives Black voters a lesser chance to elect a candidate of their choice compared to other voters, U.S. District Judge Anna M. Manasco found that the Montgomery section violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. “As the Legislature considers such plans, it should be mindful of the practical reality, based on the ample evidence of intensely racially polarized voting adduced during the trial, that any remedial plan will need to include an additional district in the Montgomery area in which Black voters either comprise a voting-age majority or something quite close to it,” the judge wrote.

Montgomery’s District 25 is currently represented by Sen. Will Barfoot, a white Republican, and District 26 is represented by Sen. Kirk Hatcher, a Black Democrat. With all 140 seats in the Legislature, including the 35 Senate seats, being on the ballot for the 2026 elections, the ruling comes at the right time and is being celebrated by civil rights advocates. “This decision proves that when we challenge injustice, we can make progress, Benard Simelton, president of the Alabama State Conference of the NAACP, said in a statement.

Manasco’s ruling coincides with a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Alabama, the Legal Defense Fund, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, seeking to block the state from using the current map for its state Senate election. Two weeks before the judge’s ruling, a federal court ruled Alabama must continue to use a court-drawn Congressional district map until 2030.

The battle over the state diluting Black voting power has been ongoing since 2021, causing continuous back and forth between lawmakers and the high court. In 2023, the GOP-controlled Alabama Legislature drew new maps after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the judging panel — including Manasco — in finding that the map, which had only one majority-Black district out of seven in a state with a 27% Black resident population, likely violated the U.S. Voting Rights Act.

The ruling comes with some backlash as plaintiffs in the lawsuit pushed for violations against the Huntsville portion of the map, but Manasco ruled that it did not. Deuel Ross, director of Litigation at the Legal Defense Fund, called the ruling “a hard-fought victory for Black voters in Montgomery who deserve fair representation in the Alabama Senate,” but says the fight needs to continue in Huntsville. “The court’s decision recognizes that, even today, the State continues its terrible history of discriminating against Black voters,” Ross said.

“While we welcome this win, leaving the Huntsville district in place illustrates that voters must continue to fight for their voices to be heard.”

As Trump seemingly started a battle of congressional seats after demanding Texas “find” five Republican seats, Alabama State Sen. Steve Livingston, who also serves as majority leader, said leaders are “pleased” with the court’s ruling on Huntsville, but, according to WCVB, is “disappointed by the ruling in the Montgomery area.” We will determine next steps after a thorough review of the opinion in the coming days,” he said.

Alabama’s primary is scheduled for May 19.

Former New Orleans Mayor Tearfully Reflects On Hurricane Katrina 20 Years After Storm

Former Mayor Ray Nagin led the city in the aftermath of the storm.

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is reflecting on Hurricane Katrina 20 years after the natural disaster hit the city.

Nagin took to the pulpit at Household of Faith Church in Harvey to discuss the city’s handling of displaced residents in the storm. He recalled the days-long evacuation and the challenges they faced to get everyone out, stating that he would tell the “truth” about the situation. According to WDSU, the Church posted his speech to Facebook.

“So I’m gonna tell y’all some truth today. All these documentaries and all these interviews and people that weren’t here telling the story. We ain’t having that, but let me get to it,” explained Nagin. “This is my first time speaking in probably over a decade. After all this happened, God told me to be Quiet and just wait.”

He recounted the city’s success in jobs and entertainment before Katrina hit. He began to tear up as he recalled his own testimony about his experience leading the city in the midst of the storm’s impact.

“It was the largest mass evacuation in the history of this country, and it still is the largest mass evacuation in the history of this country,” he stated. “When I went up [in a helicopter], it brought me to tears to see the city and the region so devastated. Water was everywhere. There were people on roofs crying for help… Some of them were being rescued, but it was just so many of them.”

He added, “The buses started to come. People started to be evacuated, but it took seven days. They can send an aircraft carrier around the world in a couple of days. It took seven days for the last person to be evacuated from the Convention Center.”

He also addressed his controversial “Chocolate City” speech. He emphasized that New Orleans would remain a predominantly Black city even post-Katrina.

“We kept working, and then Martin Luther King’s birthday came up, and I gave a speech on the steps of City Hall,” he detailed. “The Chocolate City speech, and let me tell you, them folks lost their mind. They couldn’t believe I would say that New Orleans would be a Chocolate City again. It had been that from the beginning.”

Nagin was initially commended for his efforts to get assistance for displaced New Orleans residents. However, his tenure later became entangled in a city corruption scandal. The controversy resulted in a 10-year prison stint for wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering.

Nagin stepped away from the spotlight for decades following his political decline. However, he has since returned for the anniversary of Katrina to emphasize the city and its people’s resilience.

Black Conservative Influencer Welcomes Trump’s Call To Send National Guard To Chicago

Black Conservative Influencer Welcomes Trump’s Call To Send National Guard To Chicago

A Black MAGA supporter in Chicago is welcoming Trump's call for National Guards to her city.

A Black conservative woman in Chicago is welcoming Donald Trump’s plan to deploy the U.S. National Guard to her city, similar to what’s being done in the nation’s capital.

Danielle Carter-Walters, a personal fitness trainer and co-founder of Chicago Flips Red, believes Trump was talking about her when he recently told reporters inside the Oval Office that “African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please.”

“We knew he had been listening to us,” Carter-Walters told the Chicago Sun-Times. “When I saw it, I said, ‘Oh, wow.’ We’ve been asking for it in our videos. Now, he’s doing it.”

Her remarks come just days after Trump reiterated his plans to expand federal troop deployments to Chicago, following the militarized presence in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. While critics argue the president is singling out blue cities with Black mayors, Carter-Walters insists her community urgently needs military intervention to keep its streets safe.

“Yes, I do,” said Carter-Walters, who lives in Marquette Park. “Our communities are out of control. The destruction. The devastation of what’s happening. We are being displaced out of our homes by illegal aliens.”

“I stay on the South Side of Chicago. I’m living the experience. You can’t sit in your car without worrying about being robbed, mugged, shot, carjacked. We definitely need something to be done,” she added.

Speaking with reporters on Aug. 22, Trump boasted his support among Black voters and pointed to his Black MAGA base in Chicago while defending his expanded use of federal troops on U.S. soil, an effort he has claimed is to “crack down on crime” in select cities.

“I did great with the Black vote, as you know. And they want something to happen. So I think Chicago will be our next, and then we will help with New York,” Trump said.

Carter-Walters is backing up Trump’s claim, saying there are “thousands” of Black Trump supporters and even more supporting in silence.

“There’s a lot of us, thousands, silently supporting us,” she said. “People think that Black women can’t be MAGA. People are starting to see there’s a lot of us.”

Trump has called the troop deployment in Washington, D.C., a success, even though most arrests there have been tied to immigration violations. Reports indicate the Pentagon is preparing to send personnel into Chicago as early as September, amid Trump’s claim of having the authority to carry out “takeovers” of cities across the country.

Southwest Airlines Receives Pushback For New Refund Policy Labeled As Anti-Plus Size

While the airline still permits plus-size passengers to apply for the refund, social media users worry the policy could be deemed discriminatory.

A new refund policy from Southwest Airlines is making it somewhat uncomfortable for plus-size customers to be reimbursed for extra space, USA Today reported.

The airline has updated its “customers of size” refund policy, introducing new conditions for eligible customers to receive refunds. Once encouraging such customers to purchase two seats when booking a ticket and then applying for a second fare refund, Southwest’s policy now says the flight must depart with at least one open seat, both seats should be purchased in the same fare class, such as Choice, Choice Preferred, Choice Extra, or Basic, and the refund request is required to be made within 90 days of your date of travel.

With the new policy going into effect Jan. 27 — the same day Southwest switches to an assigned seating preference — plus-size travelers feel the new policy is sneaky and eliminates the benefits the airline once had, adding complications.

“It seems like a sneaky add-on from a policy that had been around for 20+ years without much hitting the bottom line,” travel influencer and Chubby Diaries founder, Jeff Jenkins, said in a statement.

“I just hope that consumers are aware of this change, and I wonder if plus-size people will skip out on flying with them at all because of them not knowing if the flight is sold out or not. It’s just more anxiety to an already high anxiety experience.”

Some advocates are already banking on supporting a different airline, like Corinne Fay, a writer for a fashion newsletter called Big Undies. She says she only flew Southwest because of their plus-size friendly policy, but that is about to change. “I definitely felt like crying because it’ll make my life a lot harder,” Fay said, according to The Washington Post.

“We’re talking about the difference between spending $400 versus $800 or even more.”

Tigress Osborn, executive director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, believes the new policy will ultimately harm the airline, as customers can’t afford to risk their money in such a manner.

“They can’t afford to take that gamble,” Osborn said. “We are hearing from a lot of people about how this will literally mean they cannot travel by air anymore.”

While the change is profound for some, social media seemingly takes nothing seriously. As the announcement went viral, users began comparing it to a famous scene in Tyler Perry’s 2007 box office hit, Why Did I Get Married? where character Sheila, played by Jill Scott, was forced to drive to Colorado after being kicked off a flight due to her large stature. When the flight attendant said she had to purchase two seats, her husband, Mike, played by Richard T. Jones, laughed, saying, “I’ve been telling her big ass to lose weight for months now. Glad someone else said something.”

@naveljr108 The fact that the husand is letting her go😵‍💫 #whydidigetmarried #removedfromplane #badhusband #movieclips #moviescene #foryou #viral #fypシ #fyp ♬ original sound – Naveljr10

Other users took the time to express rounds of applause for the airline’s changes. “Good – I was on a flight & this woman was in my seat too, one thigh in her seat, the other thigh in mine! Literally, they had to move me and refund me,” a user on Instagram wrote.

Another user feels the policy is going to get discriminatory — and fast. “Southwest is gonna go bankrupt so quickly. First, they start making people pay for their bags, now this? And why are they suddenly saying plus size passengers have to purchase two seats as if the people who already know that they’re that large have to purchase two seats anyway?,” @theclosetratchet asked.

“Is plus size defined as anyone that they see is big, or is plus size defined as you can’t properly clasp your seatbelt? Because this could get discriminatory real fast…”

However, in a statement, Southwest said the policy is to simply guarantee travelers have the space they need as less than 0.25% of customers request extra seats. “To ensure space, we are communicating to customers who require an extra seat that they should purchase it at booking,” the company said in a statement.

Shilo Sanders Gets In Game Fight, Cut By Tampa Bay Buccaneers

'You can't throw punches in this league,' Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said. 'I mean, that's inexcusable.'

Shilo Sanders was on the verge of securing a spot on an NFL roster until he got into a skirmish in the last preseason game, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave him his release papers, leaving him a free agent, but he may not be going anywhere.

According to USA Today, the undrafted football player was let go by the Buccaneers after they had to get their roster size down to 53 players by Aug. 26. The safety may get a chance to join the team’s practice squad, since they like his presence, although the fight may have sealed his fate.

After Sanders was ejected from the game against the Buffalo Bills, Aug. 23, when he threw a punch at the Bills’ tight end, Zach Davidson, in the second quarter of the contest, Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles was not happy with the incident.

“You can’t throw punches in this league,” Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said. “I mean, that’s inexcusable. They’re going to get you every time. Gotta grow from that.”

By releasing Sanders, the team saved $1,572.

Sanders, 25, didn’t get selected in the NFL draft in April but signed with the team as an undrafted free agent soon afterward. He was listed as a third-string safety before Saturday’s preseason game.

Although no NFL team selected Sanders, he was able to latch on to the Buccaneers when they signed him after the draft. His collegiate stats showed his game capabilities, but no reason was given for him not being picked by any team. He played for his NFL Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, and is the older brother of his star quarterback brother, Shedeur. After Sheduer was anticipated to land amongst the first three picks in the NFL Draft, he dropped and was finally picked in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.

Shilo played at Jackson State University and the University of Colorado Boulder until he graduated this past summer.

As a free agent, he can go to any team that may need his football skills, although he may stay with Tampa Bay if they decide to use him as a practice player.
