Hollywood talent agency CAA cuts ties with Kanye West after anti-Semitic tirade

Prominent Hollywood talent agency, CAA, has stopped representing Kanye West amid a growing call to boycott the rapper. 

The agency ended its relationship with Ye this month following his recent anti-Semitic outbursts in various interviews, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

CAA is the latest business to end its relationship with Ye over his remarks.

Other leading entertainment industry figures including Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel called on all companies that work with the musician to cut ties with him after he tweeted he wanted to go "death con 3" on Jewish people.

Kanye's antisemitic views has made it nearly impossible for companies to defend working with him, causing some brands such as Balenciaga, to cut ties with him.

J.P. Morgan and the Gap have also parted ways with the rapper.

His record deal with longtime label Def Jam has reportedly come to a close as well.

There is also mounting pressure on Adidas to cut ties with Kanye.

Ye has been with CAA since 2016, after leaving the agency for a year in 2015 for UTA.

A 5-year-old boy claims that he was an African American woman killed in a fire almost 30 years ago, and his revelations match the story of a woman who died in a hotel fire

Little Luke Ruehlman, 5, spooked his parents at age 2 when he began incessantly insisting that he used to live a previous life as an African-American woman called Pam Robinson who jumped to her death to escape the flames inside Paxton Hotel in Chicago.

After questioning her young son about the random woman to find out who she was, Luke revealed the startling truth about his alleged past life.

Erika told Fox 8: “He turned to me and said, ‘Well, I was’. [He said] ‘Well, I used to be, but I died and I went up to heaven. I saw God and then eventually, God pushed me back down and I was a baby and you named me Luke.”

Luke’s family, who live in Cincinnati, Ohio, said their son told them he travelled by train in Chicago despite them never taking him there, reports The Sun.

Erika decided to research the bizarre claims and was shocked to find out that Pam was named one of 19 victims who died from the fire in 1993.

Luke recalled eerie details about how he tried to escape the burning building and spoke about the moment he “met God.”

Erika says he also speaks about other moments that he “remembered” from his past life.

“He used to say, ‘When I was a girl, I had black hair’ or he would say, ‘I used to have earrings like that when I was a girl,’ she said.

Producers of a paranormal investigations TV show “The Ghost Inside My Child” have also delved into Luke’s case.

During the show, the little boy was shown a page of pictures of different black women aged in their 30s and was asked to find the late Pam Robinson.

Surprisingly, he was able to pick her out within the first go, according to the footage.

Following the creepy development, Luke’s mum decided to reach out to Pam’s family.

She said they described her personality and it revealed shocking similarities between Pam and Luke, such as their love for Stevie Wonder and playing on the keyboard.

Decomposed body of a missing woman found under bed of neighbor who helped search for her

The decomposed body of a South African woman, was found under the bed of her neighbour who had been helping search for her.

33-year-old Annelise van Rooyen, had been missing since April 24, 2022 in Cape Town and was found on September 19. 

The suspect, Jaun-Paul van der Westhuizen, 32, allegedly misled the family by saying he saw her in different places. 

The decomposing body of the victim was found when the accused’s brother was looking for stolen items.

For about five months the man allegedly attributed the sickening stench that his family and friends complained about to dead rats that he was struggling to find. 

While speaking to cops, Van der Westhuizen allegedly incriminated his friends Florenzo Steyn, 31, and Marshall Baartman, 27.

They all appeared on a murder charge in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, September 22, 2022.

The prosecutor read the docket in court: “The deceased went missing in April, and she was found on 19 September. Her body was under the bed of accused number one. It was decomposed. Accused number one made an admission to the captain that the deceased went to his home with accused two and three to smoke. He wanted to have sex with the deceased who tried to run; they strangled her and then put her under the bed

The State has indicated that they are opposing bail for all accused. The victim’s mom, Marlene, 53, says:

“This man has been coming to home, I treated him like a son. He helped us with the search and he would come and tell me that he saw Annie in Wynberg and other places and all along he knew what he did

The heartbroken mom says her daughter was last seen walking to a nearby shop. 

“We had been everywhere looking for her and then on Monday when Jaun-Paul’s brother was looking for stolen items in his bungalow he found the body and called people,” she explains.

"We knew it was her because of the top she wore the last time I saw her. I picked her clothes that morning. She was not wearing the tights and shoes she had on." 

Marlene also tells the Daily Voice that her daughter was mentally challenged. 

"She had a mind of a child, if you complimented her top, she would have taken it off. Jaun-Paul took advantage of that and took her away from her 16-year-old son.

Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg had confirmed that cops are investigating a murder case.
