Gigi Hadid opens up about allegations Zayn Malik's hit mom Yolanda amid split - Page Six

Bad vibez.

After breaking up with Zayn Malik, Gigi Hadid has addressed allegations that her longtime partner hit her mother, Yolanda Hadid.

“Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time,” Gigi’s rep told People in a statement Thursday, explaining that the model’s priority is caring for her and Malik’s 13-month-old daughter despite the family discord. 

The outlet reported Thursday that Gigi, 26, and Malik have split amid the allegedly violent conflict, which a source later confirmed to Page Six.

“They are not together right now. They are both good parents, though,” a family friend told the outlet. “They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.”

Sources told TMZ earlier in the day that Malik, 28, allegedly struck Yolanda, 57, a claim that the former One Direction singer vehemently denied. 

“I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid,” he wrote in a social media statement. “For the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details.”

The former One Direction singer shares baby girl Khai with Gigi Hadid, Yolanda’s daughter.

Multiple requests for comment to all three celebs’ teams from Page Six went unanswered Thursday.

In his statement, Malik expressed hope that Yolanda will “reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.” 

The musician then shed light on what led to the alleged incident between him and the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum. 

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are seen in Noho last January.

“As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private place for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart,” he continued.

“In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”

Malik also shared his disappointment that his apparent issues with Gigi’s family were made public: “This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press.”

Broadway Returns with 'Six,' a Modern Day Rock Concert Telling a 16th-Century Story - The New School Free Press

depolitikblog.blogspot.com

Illustration by Harry Batalingaya

Divorced, beheaded, died… divorced, beheaded, survived! After an 18-month delay of its intended release, the six queens have at last arrived at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in a musical that features dazzling lights, glamorous outfits, and feminist themes.

On March 12, 2020, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’s Lawrence Oliver nominated West End musical was set to make its Broadway debut after a highly successful 14 month run in the UK. Unfortunately, that was the exact date Broadway theatres shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The future of live theatre was uncertain, and with Six yet to premiere in New York, its popularity was still localized. In May 2021, though, Broadway announced that Six would make its official debut on September 17.

My excitement to see Six was undeniable as I walked across countless Broadway theatres listening to “Don’t Lose Ur Head.” All of 47th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues was backed up by a seemingly never-ending line. The queue was moving slowly as theatre fans rushed to find their vaccination cards and IDs. After the Broadway shutdown in 2020, theatres have implemented more COVID-19 protective measures to keep theatre fans safe. At the front of the line, I was reminded by the ticket checker and the usher who directed me to my seat to keep my mask on at all times. The theater was packed; there were no open seats.  Broadway’s desire to keep people safe was not overpowered by the need to make money. Finally, I sat down with the signature bright purple playbill in my hand, ready to watch a musical I had listened to non-stop for over a year.

Six, co-directed by Moss and West End director Jamie Armitage, tells the story of the six wives of Henry VIII of England as they host a concert. This concert is also a competition with each of the queens making their case for why they believe they had the worst time as the wife of Henry. After the introductory ‘Ex-Wives’ song, which dispels each of their fates, each queen gives a solo song arguing why her trauma was worse than everyone else’s. Marlow and Moss fashioned each character after various modern-day pop stars. Director of lights, Tim Deiling, captures the multiple colors of the Six wives and gives this musical the exact concert-like feel it is looking to replicate. Costume designer Gabriella Slade provides each queen with a ravishing plastic-and-foil costume dazzled in jewels to show their similarities while each possessing a different dominant color to portray their uniqueness. 

The first wife, who is performed brilliantly by Adrianna Hicks, is Catherine of Aragon. Moss and Marlow modeled her as a mixture of Lemonade-era Beyonce, who she commemorates by wearing yellow. Inspired by Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson, and Shakira, paying homage to Aragon’s Spanish upbringing. Aragon establishes herself from the beginning as the first, the original, and the most potent queen in her song “No Way.” In this solo, Aragon recounts Henry leaving her humiliated after cheating on her with Anne Boleyn, trying to send her to a nunnery, and later divorcing her. 

Boleyn, played by Andrea Macasaet, tries to one-up Aragon with her solo, “Don’t Lose Ur Head.” While Henry did cheat on Catherine with Boleyn, he was also very promiscuous during his second marriage, which motivated Boleyn to “flirt with a guy or three just to make him jell,” which encouraged Henry to decapitate her. Boleyn is designed in green to pay homage to the classic English folk song “Greensleeves,” and features Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, and Lily Allen elements.

The most riveting solo belonged to Katherine Howard, played by the intriguing Samantha Pauly, parallels modern young sex symbols including Britney Spears and Ariana Grande. Her flamboyant “All You Wanna Do” song details all of her past relationships and emotional trauma, similar to Taylor Swift or Katy Perry. Her costume is sparkled and purple and features a choker to showcase her beheading. 

Six features a star-studded group of characters who all capture the essence of their characters very well. The musical has segments where it is entertaining, breathtaking and the cast shares a great cohesion that makes this show an absolute must-see. The elements of modern-day rock, pop music influence, and historical precedent pay homage to the 16th century, while blending in contemporary components. The orchestration of Tom Curran and the superb drumming of Elena Bonomo turn this retelling into a mosh pit in Midtown. no way you will leave the Brooks Atkinson Theatre unhappy after watching Six.

While Six has bouts of joy and fantastic modern theatrical rhythm, its message falls short of a more significant point. The first hour of Six is entirely upbeat songs detailing the lives of each of the Six wives within their marriages to Henry, and this angle works very well. However, when trying to figure out who won the contest, the queen’s point is that only speaking about these wives concerning their marriages to Henry plays into the patriarchal structure we live in today. While the message is very true, the musical is an exact culprit of this message. All we hear about in the lives of the queens concerning Henry is why they are linked and why they are called Six. Six attempts to focus on a much larger societal narrative, but at the end of the show, all fans are replaying “All You Wanna Do” and “Don’t Lose Ur Head” in their minds rather than thinking about the unjust way the six wives are remembered. Simply throwing in an important communal message after ignoring it for over an hour does nothing to the point you are trying to make, and this is where Six loses consistency as a musical.

Although Six is an entertaining if flawed musical,one important caveat to take away, Broadway is back! The last 18 months have been difficult for theatre fans, but with the return of Broadway, the vibrance of stage performance has returned to New York City.

Essex Man Sentenced to Six Years in Federal Prison for Crack Cocaine Distribution Conspiracy - Department of Justice

depolitikblog.blogspot.com

Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Joel William Hammond, age 35, Essex of Maryland, to six years in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine. 

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Assistant Special Agent in Charge Orville O. Greene of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore District Office; Chief Melissa R. Hyatt of the Baltimore County Police Department; Harford County State’s Attorney Albert Peisinger; Sheriff Jeff Gahler of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office; and the Harford County Narcotics Task Force comprised of members of the Harford County Sheriff's Office, Aberdeen Police Department, Bel Air Police Department, Havre de Grace Police Department; and the Harford County States Attorney’s Office.

According to his guilty plea, the Harford County Narcotics Task Force undertook an investigation into a drug trafficking organization (DTO) distributing powder and crack cocaine in Harford County, Maryland. Over the course of the investigation, detectives intercepted numerous drug-related communications over social media and phone calls, which identified Hammond as a drug supply source. 

On March 7, 2020, task force detectives followed one of the DTO members who met with Hammond at Hammond’s residence in Essex, returned to Harford County.  Detectives then observed a member of the DTO meet with several known drug users. Detectives believe that the DTO member obtained two to three ounces of crack cocaine from Hammond, which were then sold to the DTO’s customers.

Hammond met with members and customers of the DTO on at least 10 occasions between March and April 2020. Specifically, on March 31 detectives intercepted a series of communications indicating that a member of the DTO planned to meet Hammond to obtain crack cocaine. Investigators learned that Hammond sold approximately one ounce of crack cocaine to the individual during the meeting.

On April 21, 2020, investigators learned that Hammond and a DTO member were to meet later that day. Detectives observed Hammond and the DTO member make contact at Hammond’s residence. Soon after, the DTO member drove back to Harford County. A traffic stop by the Harford County Sheriff’s office led to a search of the vehicle by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team and Harford Narcotics Task Force, after first obtaining a search warrant for the vehicle.

As a result of the search, law enforcement discovered two plastic bags, both containing a white substance, as well as $660 in cash. One of the bags contained 16 grams of a white rock like substance that was similar to powder cocaine that had been directly cut off a kilogram of pressed cocaine. The second bag contained an off-white rock-like substance that law enforcement determined to be 41 grams of crack cocaine. The combined weight of the two bags was 57.9 grams.

On April 22, 2020, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Hammond’s residence and seized a small quantity of crack cocaine.

Hammond agrees it is reasonably foreseeable that the conspiracy involved at least 112 grams but less than 196 grams of crack cocaine.

United States Attorney Erek L. Barron commended the DEA, the Harford State’s Attorney’s Office, the Harford County Narcotics Task Force, and the Baltimore County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Barron thanked Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Romano who prosecuted the case.
