 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities.

SHIA LABEOUF PLEADS GUILTY IN MARDI GRAS BAR ALTERCATION, SENTENCED TO PROBATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. (PHOTO).


 Shia LaBeouf pleads guilty in Mardi Gras bar altercation, sentenced to probation and training programs

  

Actor Shia LaBeouf has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor simple battery charge stemming from an altercation at a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras earlier this year and has been sentenced to probation along with court-ordered training programs.

The 39-year-old actor received a six-month suspended sentence and will serve two years of active probation. As part of the terms of his sentence, he must complete anger management and sensitivity training.

The case arose from an incident at R Bar on Royal Street during Mardi Gras celebrations. Authorities alleged LaBeouf became involved in a disturbance, during which he was combative with staff members and patrons and struck multiple people.

Investigators said one victim suffered a serious nose injury after being struck in the face. Police also alleged that LaBeouf used homophobic slurs during the incident, allegations that the actor later denied.

Following his arrest, LaBeouf posted a $100,000 bond and was released under several conditions, including participation in rehabilitation treatment, regular drug and alcohol testing, and orders prohibiting contact with the alleged victims and the bar.

The guilty plea resolves the misdemeanor battery charges filed in the case.

An attorney representing one of the victims praised the handling of the matter by prosecutors and the court, saying the case demonstrated that all individuals should be treated equally regardless of their public profile or level of fame. The attorney also expressed hope that LaBeouf would take the required substance abuse treatment, sensitivity training and anger management courses seriously and use what he learns moving forward.
