*We bet Anthony Anderson is jumping for joy. That’s because the actor won’t have to face charges for allegedly assaulting a woman.
As we reported earlier, Anderson was accused of the attack earlier this year when a woman went to the LAPD. The specifics of her claims were unclear, but were enough to trigger a police report and then have the case shipped off to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, reports TMZ.
However, on Friday, Law enforcement sources said the D.A.’s office rejected the case, deciding not to charge the “black-ish” star with anything because the woman refused to cooperate and there was not enough evidence to go forward.
“It’s unfortunate that anyone can file a police report whether it is true or false.” A rep for Anthony said when the accusations were first made public. “The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim,” he added.
In other news, Ellen DeGeneres had no problem asking Nicki Minaj about her beef with Travis Scott. Minaj was a guest on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday.
“First of all, congratulations — this is No. 1 in 86 countries,” Ellen said, referring to Nicki’s recently released “Queen” album. “Now, when you were No. 2 behind Travis Scott, it seemed like you got upset about that.”
“Why do people say things like ‘upset’ or angry’? When someone says how they feel, they’re not always upset or angry,” was Nicki’s reply
“Well, what were you feeling?” Ellen asked, to which Nicki replied, “I felt like I wanted to punch him in his f–king face!”
Oh really?!
“What are those emotions then if that’s not anger?” Ellen asked. Nicki asserted her emotions were not driven by anger; they were simply reflective of “what’s right and what’s wrong — what’s fair.”
“I’ve had a No. 2 album, and I never cared,” Nicki explained. “It’s just when you have a No. 2 album to someone who’s selling shirts and merch and selling passes for a tour that’s not even announced yet, it feels like you’re being tricked. It feels like someone is playing a game and beating you at a game as opposed to just selling music. I wanna sell music.”
“He sold a lot of T-shirts and sweaters and tour passes, and so we’re not gonna have that,” she added, flipping her bright-orange hair back behind her.
