Muhammad Ali's Brother Beat His Daughter Senseless

Muhammad Ali's Daughter Khaliah wrote a self help book called "Fighting Weight". In it she details her struggle with her weight loss. The crazy part is when she explains that she blew up to 270 pounds as a teen thanks to a vicious beating from her uncle. "He came in yelling at me as if he were my father. 'Round one, let's see what you can do, kid. Round two, round three.' Every time I'd get up he'd beat me down again or hit me by my crotch. He pulled me up by my hair and the back of my shirt and dragged me toward the kitchen. He was going for a knife and said he was going to end it for me . . . I blacked out. When I came to, he was kicking me in the face." Her family broke it up, and Khaliah was treated for bruised kidneys. "I felt ashamed", she writes, "the way victims do, as if it's somehow their fault" After that, she drowned her sorrows in food, eventually reaching 325 pounds before deciding to have gastric surgery.

Trouble For Tracy Morgan

NY Daily

A disk jockey filed a misdemeanor battery complaint against comedian Tracy Morgan, saying the NBC sitcom star inappropriately groped her at a South Florida radio station Friday morning.

Yuleika De Castro told police that Morgan smelled of alcohol as he touched her shoulders and arms, kissed the back of her head, Miramar Police Department spokesman Bill Robertson said.
De Castro said she pushed him away and he was escorted out of the studio by the people he came with, Robertson said.

De Castro, whose on-air name is Sandy Domingo, said she filed the complaint because she felt "violated" and "dirty." "He said he wants to impregnate me," Domingo told The Associated Press.

Morgan's attorney in Miami, Mark Shapiro, told authorities that his client was not yet prepared to speak to them, Robertson said.
