Mama Tina 2.0 Goes To Court
I’m on my Louis shit today fuck some Gucci Man.
People can’t seem to stop finding great bargains at Mary J. Blige’s weekend rummage sales. I can’t wait to scoop up the bubble jacket she wore in the video for “Love Is All We Need” so my Mama can give the rest of the usher board fever.
But I digress.
Tina Douglas told a Manhattan jury earlier this week that Devard Hurd attached photos of male genitals to some of the more than 30 rambling text messages sent to her cell phone over several weeks earlier this year.
“It was just disgusting and humiliating and extremely frightening,” Douglas said.
Hurd, a gym worker from Indiana, was arrested in July on charges of stalking and harassment after ignoring repeated warnings by Ashanti’s family to stop trying to contact her through her mother, Assistant District Attorney Carolina Holderness said in opening statements.
Defense attorney Richard Verchick said Hurd was misunderstood.
“Sending pictures and texts is not crime,” he said. “The intent was never to harass Tina or Ashanti. … What he wanted was what we all want in life – love.”
Douglas, who manages her daughter, testified that she “freaked out” and pulled her daughter out of a rehearsal of “The Wiz” after receiving a text that mentioned seeing Ashanti’s car as it arrived at the theater.
“I was afraid this person could have been in New York,” she said. “I wanted to protect my daughter.”
