Speaker 1: I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody, you know, if.
Speaker 2: You don't lie about that.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, y'all, what's up. It's Laura Rosa and this
Speaker 3: is the latest with Laura Rosa.
Speaker 1: This is your Deli Dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
Speaker 1: and all of the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, checking behind the scenes of the grind.
Speaker 1: I told you guys a bit about what I was
Speaker 1: experiencing with my grandmother and some health things and just
Speaker 1: the feeling of like being you know, older and watching
Speaker 1: the people you love get older as you.
Speaker 3: Care for them.
Speaker 1: We have finally convinced my grandmother to you know, do
Speaker 1: the things that she does not like to do, which
Speaker 1: is get the skins and you know all of that.
Speaker 1: But I just I know from a previous experience with
Speaker 1: her that things are just not some something's going on.
Speaker 1: So we've convinced her to do that. Things are moving.
Speaker 1: She's going to get the care that she needs. So
Speaker 1: I'm in a much better space about it. But let
Speaker 1: me tell you, guys something. Trying to convince an a
Speaker 1: seven year old black woman who'll still do what she
Speaker 1: wants say what she wants, go when it where she
Speaker 1: want to go and do, and sit down and let
Speaker 1: people pin and.
Speaker 3: Poke and all that at her.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 1: That is harder than trying to break a story on
Speaker 1: any given day of the year. Okay, that has been
Speaker 1: my life's submission for these last twenty four forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: But I was successful at it, so you know, Mark,
Speaker 1: she gonna be good. So we will keep you guys
Speaker 1: updated on that. So you know, yeah, I've been able
Speaker 1: to just kind of clear my head a little bit
Speaker 1: within the last This has only been an update within
Speaker 1: the last like I would say, three to six hours
Speaker 1: that she agreed to these things and she's you know,
Speaker 1: getting the proper care now. But it just puts me
Speaker 1: in a lot better of a space knowing that we're
Speaker 1: being proactive a bit, even though a bit reactive and
Speaker 1: not fully you know, reactive, because you know, matters of
Speaker 1: the heart and just matters of health in general when
Speaker 1: you get to a certain age are just very different,
Speaker 1: very different, a lot more sensitive. So yes, we'll keep
Speaker 1: you guys updated. But I an't able to breathe a bit,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to get into something that is breaking
Speaker 1: right now in the latest so giving you guys the
Speaker 1: latest right now box with Jironte Tank Davis, who was
Speaker 1: facing new domestic violence allegations out of Miami. So some
Speaker 1: time ago, it was back in November, Gironte Tank Davis
Speaker 1: was supposed to fight YouTuber Jake Paul. This was a
Speaker 1: huge fight for Netflix, it was a whole thing. Then
Speaker 1: randomly the fight was canceled. So we found out, reached
Speaker 1: out and did this via the Breakfast Club that the
Speaker 1: fight was canceled and Netflix had actually had a few
Speaker 1: different reasons then, and we talked about it a bit
Speaker 1: here on the podcast Why Things We're not going to
Speaker 1: move forward. So at the time I had actually posted
Speaker 1: this story back on November fourth, twenty twenty five, the
Speaker 1: source that I had familiar with the Netflix situation told
Speaker 1: me that there are several different reasons they were allegend
Speaker 1: that the fight wouldn't move forward. They said, number one,
Speaker 1: Javonte Tank Davis was horrible to work with. They alleged
Speaker 1: that Javonte Tank Davis was horrible at being on time.
Speaker 3: He was late on the time.
Speaker 1: They also alleged that Gavonte Tank Davis wouldn't promote the
Speaker 1: fight in the way that they needed.
Speaker 3: Him to they alleged he was spoiled.
Speaker 1: But most importantly, I was told that Netflix, you know what,
Speaker 1: scrapped the fight in some of their countdown content that
Speaker 1: was planned to air the weekly up to the fight
Speaker 1: because there have been a video from an alleged incident
Speaker 1: at Club Tatise in Miami. Now, the alleged incident that
Speaker 1: I'm referring to is what police today, you know, some
Speaker 1: months later, on January fourteenth, twenty twenty six, have issued
Speaker 1: an arrest warrant for Javonte Tank Davis over and police
Speaker 1: in a press conference today in Miami said that they
Speaker 1: use that video that I told you guys existed to
Speaker 1: be able to confirm the victim's accounts. The alleged victim's
Speaker 1: accounts of what she claimed happened. Let's take a listen
Speaker 1: to police. A they had a press conference today down
Speaker 1: in Miami.
Speaker 3: Guards. Let's take a listen to.
Speaker 5: Themcober twenty nine, twenty twenty five, at two fifteen pm,
Speaker 5: the victim entered the Miami Gardens Police Department, accompanied by
Speaker 5: her attorney, to report an incident that occurred on October
Speaker 5: twenty seven, twenty twenty five. At the time of the incident.
Speaker 5: The victim was employed at a local gentlemen's club located
Speaker 5: within the city of Miami Gardens. According to the victim's statement,
Speaker 5: at approximately four to fifteen am, while working, she was
Speaker 5: approached by mister Davis. The victim was approached by mister Davis.
Speaker 5: The victim reported that mister Davis grabbed her by her
Speaker 5: back of her head, coiling her by her hair with
Speaker 5: one hand and by her throat with the other. He
Speaker 5: forcefully escorted her down ea stairway and toward the parking
Speaker 5: garage while maintaining his grip on the back of her head.
Speaker 5: Upon reaching the parking garage, the victim reported that mister
Speaker 5: Davis released her, at which point she was able to
Speaker 5: run towards her coworkers for safety. The victim reported substaining
Speaker 5: minor injuries, including visible bruising to her left arm at
Speaker 5: the time the report was made, and she sought medical attention.
Speaker 5: The victim further reported that she has known mister Davis
Speaker 5: since twenty twenty two and they were previously involved in
Speaker 5: an intimate relationship for approximately five months, which ended about
Speaker 5: a month prior to the incident. She stated she had
Speaker 5: blocked all forms of communication or mister Davis after the
Speaker 5: relationship ended. During the course of the investigation, Lee Detective
Speaker 5: Gary Florencio obtained and reviewed video surveillance footage that coroborates
Speaker 5: key elements of the victim's statement. As a result of
Speaker 5: the diligent and hard work of our Special Victims Unit
Speaker 5: and arrest warrant has been issued for Javonte Bryant Davis
Speaker 5: on the falling charges battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping.
Speaker 5: The investigation determined that mister Davis used forced to restrain
Speaker 5: and attempt to remove the victim from the location against
Speaker 5: her will. The victim was only able to escape when
Speaker 5: mister Davis released his hold to retrieve his vehicle. At
Speaker 5: this time, the Miami Gardens Police Department is actively working
Speaker 5: with the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force to locate
Speaker 5: and apprehend mister Davis.
Speaker 1: So the warrant has been issued on charges including false imprisonment, battery,
Speaker 1: attempted kidnapping based on the victim's account. So, yeah, this
Speaker 1: news conference went down today in the Executive Officer Miami
Speaker 1: Gardens Police Department. Executive Officer Emmanuel Emmanuel Gentti is who
Speaker 1: you heard from and he also mentioned during this press
Speaker 1: conference that their team is working with US Marshall's Future
Speaker 1: of Task Force to find Davis. I did reach out
Speaker 1: to Javonte Tank Davis's team to see if he plans
Speaker 1: to turn himself in, when that would happen, What does
Speaker 1: that look like?
Speaker 3: Is that even a thing like basically.
Speaker 1: Anything, any statement in anything that they can say at
Speaker 1: this point, and at this time I was told that
Speaker 1: there's no comment.
Speaker 3: So not for sure what's happening, but what we will
Speaker 3: see happen.
Speaker 1: Of course, he will have to turn himself in on
Speaker 1: these charges, and you know, I mean he'll This is
Speaker 1: sadly not the first time that you know, he's been
Speaker 1: through some things with the law. So I'm sure he
Speaker 1: will have an attorney with him and we'll hear from
Speaker 1: him shortly and probably through that attorney and through the
Speaker 1: legal process.
Speaker 3: But it's just sad to see.
Speaker 1: Because you know, I'm from Delaware, you know, so you
Speaker 1: have the whole DMV area, which is you know, DC, Maryland, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Then you have the Philly Jersey, New York region. In Delaware,
Speaker 1: I feel like we sit kind of in the middle
Speaker 1: of that. So with Javonte Tank Davis being from Baltimore
Speaker 1: and me living and growing up where I grew up.
Speaker 1: We've watched Jervontae Tank Davis build his career from nothing,
Speaker 1: and I've gone to his fights.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Where I'm from, and you know, Baltimore, DC, Maryland, everybody
Speaker 1: the people come out for Davonte Tink Davis so much.
Speaker 1: Number one, because it's really good at his craft and
Speaker 1: his skill when he's applying himself to the right things
Speaker 1: right when he's in that ring. But also there is
Speaker 1: an attachment to his career over all this time because
Speaker 1: we've been able to watch him grow from nothing to
Speaker 1: where he is now. The issue though, that keeps coming
Speaker 1: back up and keeps surfacing with Javon say Tank Davis,
Speaker 1: his actions. It's very sad to see someone you know,
Speaker 1: with all this opportunity in their hands. We've been who's
Speaker 1: been able to make a life for themselves and the
Speaker 1: people around them lose you know a lot of credibility,
Speaker 1: you know, public support and I'm sure money at this
Speaker 1: point behind you know, actions, some proven, some alleged, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I don't know, we mean
Speaker 1: at this point in time of things like this, you
Speaker 1: just wait like I said, he'll be turning himself in
Speaker 1: on these charges. I'm sure there'll be statements from his attorneys,
Speaker 1: if not directly to the media. Probably so though, but
Speaker 1: if not, it'll come out when there's you know, the
Speaker 1: arraignment and you know the court proceedings as well too,
Speaker 1: which we guys, which you guys know. We'll keep you
Speaker 1: updated on the latest within that story, within this story,
Speaker 1: but at this point in time, there's nothing more to
Speaker 1: report but the fact that, you know, what I'd reported
Speaker 1: about there being a video following the incident at Mssitsis
Speaker 1: has been cooborated by police who have actually seen the video.
Speaker 3: I have not seen the video.
Speaker 1: I was just told that it exists and that it
Speaker 1: showed everything what I was told that. What I was
Speaker 1: told was that allegedly it was footage like security footage
Speaker 1: from the venue where they were at, you know, which
Speaker 1: captured everything. So yeah, we'll keep you updated there as
Speaker 1: there are any up dates. Now, speaking of updates, let
Speaker 1: me tell you guys one thing. This is an update
Speaker 1: that I have been waiting on. So Nini Leaks in
Speaker 1: the latest the latest with our girl, Nini Leaks, formerly
Speaker 1: of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Honey, that is the house
Speaker 1: that Nini built. Today, it was confirmed that Nini Leaks
Speaker 1: will be returning to working like the Bible in the
Speaker 1: Housewives franchise. Now, to be clear, Nie Leeks is not
Speaker 1: returning as like a housewife on the Real Housewives of Atlanta,
Speaker 1: but she is returning to a specialty show that they
Speaker 1: have happening.
Speaker 2: I'm just don't go on, excited to do this.
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see all of you girls. It's gonna
Speaker 4: be a time. It's going to be a time. Yes, bitches,
Speaker 4: I am good. Okay, now pick your faces up off
Speaker 4: the floor.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 3: Now this comes years after her exit.
Speaker 1: If you guys remember the decline of Niemi Leeks and Bravo,
Speaker 1: it was so sad to watch because we all know
Speaker 1: that that show is not the same without Nini. I
Speaker 1: love my OG girls. I love Porscha, I love Candy,
Speaker 1: I love I love Kenya. You know Kenya Moore hair care. Okay,
Speaker 1: the og Girls when they're together, Citia Bailey, when they
Speaker 1: are together, it is magic.
Speaker 3: It is you know.
Speaker 1: Kim is nothing like what we've ever seen before in
Speaker 1: reality TV. And I feel like that era of reality TV,
Speaker 1: the feeling of it just doesn't exist anymore. You got
Speaker 1: a little bit of it with Potomac, And you know,
Speaker 1: I've heard other franchises are doing well too, uh you know,
Speaker 1: I know Beverly Hill, shout out to Bosema, Saint John.
Speaker 1: It's also on the radar as well. But Real Housewives
Speaker 1: of Atlanta, honey, those girls wrote the book. In the
Speaker 1: book itself was created by Nini Leaks, and the girls
Speaker 1: wrote in it. So the sea her, you know, getting
Speaker 1: to a point where she didn't even want to film.
Speaker 1: By the end of her time at Bravo, she was
Speaker 1: barely in scenes.
Speaker 3: When she was there, she was not participating. There was
Speaker 3: a lot going on.
Speaker 1: You know, Nini had alleged that there was racial discrimination
Speaker 1: from Bravo and Andy Cohen and opportunities that she believed
Speaker 1: should have been hers on the table.
Speaker 3: Then there was that.
Speaker 1: Whole lawsuit that happened, and then there was an alleged settlement,
Speaker 1: which we really.
Speaker 3: Don't know the details of.
Speaker 1: But following all of that, production sources rerebualed because let
Speaker 1: me say this, about two months ago there was a
Speaker 1: rumor that Niini Leaks was going to be returning.
Speaker 3: To Housewives, and I tried.
Speaker 1: My heart is because with a lot of these like
Speaker 1: Real Housewives things, there are certain fan pages that once
Speaker 1: these rumors start, if it comes from certain people with
Speaker 1: certain fan pages, and I'm a girl that's locked into
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives.
Speaker 3: Okay, this was my beat when Niini Leaks was on
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 1: A lot of it is believable at least worth asking about.
Speaker 2: So I had DM.
Speaker 1: Niini back in December, so IDM need on December eighteenth,
Speaker 1: she did not respond. I also reached out to reps
Speaker 1: for her team, who did not respond to the song either.
Speaker 1: And I said, because there was a rumor that she
Speaker 1: was in talks to make a Bravo return after the lawsuit,
Speaker 1: all the things that we just talked about. And I
Speaker 1: said to Nini, I said, is this a Housewives return?
Speaker 1: Because just Bravo is anything. Because here's here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Nini Leaks had worked with the network NBC following all
Speaker 1: of this you know stuff. But to have her back
Speaker 1: in the seat with Bravo and all that, that's a
Speaker 1: different conversation. So I said to her, is this just
Speaker 1: a Housewives return? Because just Bravo in quotation marks, is anything.
Speaker 1: We need you back on Housewives or with your own
Speaker 1: reality show, will it be something like that question mark?
Speaker 1: She did not respond. TMZ then did a story confirming
Speaker 1: that the return was actually happening on January thirteenth. So
Speaker 1: production sources tell TMC that The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Speaker 1: alum Ninni Leeks will appear on Bravo's newly announced working
Speaker 1: title series, The Real Housewives Ultimate Role Trip, which Andy
Speaker 1: Cohen announced during Bravo Con. While the series was announced,
Speaker 1: no cast members were named. The source continues to tell
Speaker 1: TMZ that Nini, who departed Real Housewives of Atlanta after
Speaker 1: season twelve back in twenty twenty. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: been so long since I seen my girl on the
Speaker 1: screen with them, will not be a.
Speaker 3: Full time cast member.
Speaker 1: Will not be a full time cast member, but will
Speaker 1: but will have a notable presence when the show makes
Speaker 1: its way to Atlanta. We're told she will appear only
Speaker 1: during the Atlanta leg of the trip. The source continues
Speaker 1: to say that the series will also feature numerous camuos
Speaker 1: from the Housewives across multiple franchises, with different women appearing
Speaker 1: in various roles in each city along the girls Trip.
Speaker 1: The new series is the latest evolution of Ultimate Girls
Speaker 1: Trip following a fan favorite, which, yeah, this show. People
Speaker 1: love when the girl all get together across the franchises
Speaker 1: and do these type of shows. So this is a
Speaker 1: great return for Nini And even though she's not going
Speaker 1: to have a huge, huge role, we know, honey, give
Speaker 1: my girl, Ninny leaks about five seconds she is the show.
Speaker 3: But also too, I.
Speaker 1: Think it just marks and it shows that Ninni Leeks,
Speaker 1: Bravo and Andy Cohen are in a really good space,
Speaker 1: which could mean anything in the near future. And she's
Speaker 1: said multiple times, you know, in the recent years, within
Speaker 1: probably like the last year or two, that she's not
Speaker 1: in a bad place with Andy Cohen, and you know
Speaker 1: he's echoed some of the same things. But I know
Speaker 1: when they did the Reality TV Awards, what were those called?
Speaker 3: Let me look up the exact name.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it was Bravo Khan twenty twenty five and
Speaker 1: Candy Burrs won the Wifetime Achievement Award and gave like
Speaker 1: a very touch and speech. She was joined on stage
Speaker 1: by Cynthia Bailey and her daughter Riley, and you know,
Speaker 1: all of the girls that we know and love were
Speaker 1: in the audience. So it was a good moment to
Speaker 1: see because I feel like the girls of Atlanta deserve
Speaker 1: so much from this franchise. The og girls Atlanta deserve
Speaker 1: so much. Let's take a listen to uh No. Before
Speaker 1: we take a listen to Candy Birsu's speech, Let's say,
Speaker 1: listen to Nimi Leaks speaking to Carlos King on Reality
Speaker 1: with the King. Hey, Carlos, who's also here on the
Speaker 1: Black Effect podcast network, because she was talking to Carlos
Speaker 1: about the fact that fans were upset, people were really
Speaker 1: upset to number one, not see Nini at this award
Speaker 1: show into number two, not see her mentioned or honored
Speaker 1: in a way in what she deserves because a lot
Speaker 1: of the girl like this was all about giving the
Speaker 1: girls are flowers. And you can't talk about Real Housewives Atlanta,
Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm gonna go ahead and say you can't
Speaker 1: talk about Real Housewives in general without talking about Niini Leaks.
Speaker 1: She carried that franchise, not just the Atlanta leg of
Speaker 1: it either, on her back.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's take a listen to Niini talking to
Speaker 3: Carlos King.
Speaker 4: I personally think it is impossible to erase something.
Speaker 2: This kind of legacy. It's impossible.
Speaker 4: I mean, we can pretend like I wasn't there day one,
Speaker 4: but I will be one and the only one.
Speaker 2: Okay, I was day one and so were you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was day one, And listen, I'm not
Speaker 4: saying that the other girls don't deserve to be applauded.
Speaker 2: H they do.
Speaker 4: Everybody put work in, but you know, it is what
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 2: I was day one and that's just what it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so they were celebrating a lot of people
Speaker 4: who came after me, and but that's okay.
Speaker 6: Andy revealed that you and him have been texting. You know,
Speaker 6: he was asked about you say obviously whatever you feel
Speaker 6: comfortable saying, but you two have been texting, according to him.
Speaker 6: If so, do you want to share what I've been
Speaker 6: testing about or how do you guys came to that?
Speaker 4: Well, we haven't text about my return or me doing anything.
Speaker 4: Most of you guys know that my son was sick,
Speaker 4: and so he was texting me about my son being sick. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 4: which was very nice gesture and a very nice text message.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we've text.
Speaker 4: Before that though, we actually text months before that. So
Speaker 4: you know, listen, I mean, everybody want to ask me
Speaker 4: about you know, Andy and I I'm not holding any
Speaker 4: grudges over here. I'm also not that kind of person though.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you can do anything to me,
Speaker 4: and I can forgive you. But I'm definitely the kind
Speaker 4: of person who doesn't hold grudges forever.
Speaker 2: To me, that takes a lot of inner I'm just
Speaker 2: not into it.
Speaker 4: Everybody moves on when they feel they need to move on,
Speaker 4: So I feel like I've yield from the situation.
Speaker 2: So I'm in a good place.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I know personally you are in a good place.
Speaker 6: Are you in a good place to where you want
Speaker 6: to return to the Real Housewives of Atlanta at some point?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know what that would look like
Speaker 4: with Niini leaves returning to the Real Housewives.
Speaker 2: They don't know why. I just know this. I know
Speaker 2: that I have a story.
Speaker 4: I don't think that the fans have really seen or
Speaker 4: heard from me since a lot of things have happened
Speaker 4: in my life.
Speaker 2: So I definitely have a story and I have always had.
Speaker 1: And it was good to hear that Nini wasn't bothered
Speaker 1: and that things are in a better place and that
Speaker 1: you know, people are having conversations. But I've always felt
Speaker 1: like Niani Leaks deserved a lot more.
Speaker 3: Always felt like that, And I don't know a person
Speaker 3: who would disagree with me.
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest with you, I don't know a
Speaker 1: person who would disagree with me about that. Now, let's
Speaker 1: say a listen to Candy Birds that she accepts her
Speaker 1: awards speaking to the girls of Atlanta.
Speaker 7: When I first joined all Right, Joey, I thought, okay, cool.
Speaker 7: You know I've already been famous before.
Speaker 3: I already want to grab me some What is.
Speaker 5: This gonna do?
Speaker 7: I was like, maybe it'll be something cute to do
Speaker 7: for a little while. And little did I know, Bravo
Speaker 7: was gonna have me crying, laughing, arguing, singing, reading bitches,
Speaker 7: and collecting more checks that I.
Speaker 3: Did not expect.
Speaker 7: But the real MVPs are the Bravo fans, y'all are
Speaker 7: my candy coded click for real? I thought I was
Speaker 7: gonna be gone from the Bravo verse, But then the
Speaker 7: torch passed to my daughter, Rady. You took the torch,
Speaker 7: lit it on fire, and brought that Burris heat to
Speaker 7: a whole new franchise, and I'm here for it. And
Speaker 7: Andy It means so much that our relationship is bigger
Speaker 7: than the show. Our random texts and check ins mean
Speaker 7: a lot to me now more than ever, and to
Speaker 7: every woman I ever filmed our howay with? I see
Speaker 7: some of y'all here tonight, the good, the bad, the shade,
Speaker 7: the reeds, the last, the tears.
Speaker 6: We made history together.
Speaker 7: Well, even though I moved on, I will always cherish
Speaker 7: my time as a housewife. I will always represent our
Speaker 7: Bravo family because I'm worldwide, and I will always be
Speaker 7: embedded in your mother fing brain bitch. Thank you Bravo.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited for this return.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are as big of
Speaker 1: a housewives sin and honestly I'm more I watch, you know,
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills because of Bozman, Saint John and Garcel, and
Speaker 1: I do, like, you know, I'm like some of the
Speaker 1: girls there, But y'all know me I am. If you
Speaker 1: got my if you got my girls on there, honey,
Speaker 1: if the black women are pushing through, I'm supporting it.
Speaker 3: But Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: That probably was the only franchise from Real Housewives that
Speaker 1: like I lived by I.
Speaker 3: Mean every second, every moment. It just hasn't been the same.
Speaker 1: I did start turning the backyard once Portia Williams, you know,
Speaker 1: return back to the show. I feel like she brought
Speaker 1: it as well, and I'll turn back in this upcoming season.
Speaker 3: As well too.
Speaker 1: But I hope that this means that we're going to
Speaker 1: see me in other regards when it comes to Rabo,
Speaker 1: and this won't be the last.
Speaker 3: I'm Laura l Rosa. This is the latest with Laura
Speaker 3: l Rosa.
