Assault charges against Remy Ma have been dropped

Remy Ma is off the hook in her assault case after a judge dropped all charges against her on Monday.

The Love & Hip Hop star was facing serious legal trouble after being arrested and charged for an alleged altercation between her and Brittney Taylor that occurred in April.

According to reports, the judge threw out all four charges against Remy Ma because there was insufficient evidence against her.

Did Remy Ma really just compare sexual assault victims to prostitutes?

“Remy has always maintained her complete innocence as she never laid a hand on her celebrity-obsessed, clout chasing, credibility challenged accuser. Unfortunately, these manufactured allegations caused my client to suffer the indignities of having to wear an ankle monitor while having her freedom limited by travel restrictions and an 8:00 PM curfew,” her attorney, Dawn Florio, told TMZ.

“These restrictions have hurt my client’s ability to perform, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost income. District Attorney Vance’s office should be commended for its exercise of sound judgment in agreeing to dismiss these unwarranted charges.”

 

Remy Ma faces four more criminal charges in assault case involving LHHNY co-star

Back in May, the “All the Way Up” rapper was hit with four charges by prosecutors which includes two counts of assault in the third degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and one count of harassment in the second degree.

At the time, Taylor’s attorney, Sanford Rubenstein told TMZ that this is not “reality TV” and his client is a “victim.”

“This arrest demonstrates how serious this matter is, it is real life and not reality TV entertainment,” Taylor’s attorney, Sanford Rubenstein, said in a statement, according to Billboard. “The victim Brittney Taylor has confidence in our system of justice and will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities.”

SNEAK PEEK: Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx shine in new ‘Just Mercy’ trailer

Warner Bros. just dropped a new trailer for Just Mercy starring Jamie Foxx, Michael B. Jordan, and O’Shea Jackson Jr. as they tell the real-life story of Bryan Stevenson and Walter McMillan.

In this incredible film, Michael B. Jordan portrays Stevenson, the real-life hero who has been fighting to exonerate the wrongfully incarcerated through the Equal Justice Initiative he founded in 1995. Since then, he has saved more than 125 men from the death penalty. In 2014, he wrote Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, which is the basis of the film produced by Jordan’s Outlier Productions.

Peep the official synopsis:

A powerful and thought-provoking true story, Just Mercy follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Brie Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.

Check out the latest trailer:

Just Mercy hits select theaters on Christmas Day and opens wide on January 10.
