Some “lawyer” sent a threatening letter to the owner of the blog, The-Biz. I just saw her blog for the first time on yesterday and it is a good one for keeping up with celebrities if that is your interest.
I learned something interesting while looking at her blog. It seems that basketball player, Antoine Walker (whom I’d never heard of before, prior to reading The-Biz blog), has an “interesting” past. First of all, he’s been robbed twice. Unless someone lives in the heart of the ghetto, what is the probability of being robbed twice? It’s like lightening striking the same person twice. That’s unusual, especially for a man who has money and does not live in areas where that type of thing is rampant.
Secondly, Lashonda reported that Antoine hangs around with questionable people. For example, I have reported on the accused murderer, Reginald Potts several times on this blog. Well, according the The-Biz blog, Reginald is a close friend of Antoine Walker’s and attends all of his basketball games.
Of course it’s not against the law for a millionaire professional basketball player to be good friends with a man (Reginald Potts) who, by all accounts, has no steady employment to speak of, yet reportedly rides a Bentley, dresses expensively and has had several restraining orders taken out against him—not to mention the fact that he has attacked an officer in the past and on and on and on… Check this out:
Antoine has been rolling with some more “bad” people. One person in particular, his “best friend” Reginald Potts. Reginald, who attended all of Antoine’s Chicagoland All-Star Classic weekend events this year and was spotted driving around in a white Bentley (wearing a white linen suit/white knit cap to nightclub Excalibur on August 12th 2007) is currently being held on first-degree murder charges in the death of 28-year-old Nailah Franklin! sourceHmmmm…….
Antoine’s lawyer sent Lashonda a letter, trying to shut her up. I can tell you ahead of time that as a U.S. citizen with free speech, Lashonda has nothing to worry about because she has not slandered or libeled anyone. She is reporting facts. Because he cannot get her on her words, he is trying to threaten her regarding the fact that she has used some of Antoine’s pictures. Trust me, Antoine has no “rights” to pictures that were taken of him by photographers out in public. Go HERE to read the letter that Antoine’s lawyer sent to Lashonda.

Ok, Diva is on the case again….
Sorry, but I work in the legal field and something is fishy about this letter. Never mind that it starts off stating that LaShonda makes, “a plethora of inaccurate statements and unauthorized use and depiction of Antoine Walker.” It then goes on to only discuss pictures that were posted and does not reference any of the alleged inaccurate statements or ask for a retraction of said ‘alleged’ inaccurate statements. The legal citations are also a little ‘funky’ as though the author is not familiar with the blue book and how to properly cite caselaw.
Furhermore, I checked out http://www.martindale.com and did a search under Brian Nix in all states and all practice areas and only a Bryan A. Nix comes up in Las Vegas. Since no other information was given about the author of this communication, “Brian Nix, Esq.” I would recommend that Lashonda conduct a search with the state bar association from whatever state this individual is communicating to her from and see if he is even legit. It could be some ‘jailhouse’ lawyer wanting to front as though he is the real deal and may be simply spewing legal jargon into frightening her to refrain from blogging about this individual.
Diva,
Did you notice that in my first paragraph I put “lawyer” in quotes? I have the exact concerns that you have.
In fact, I also ran a search on Mr. Nix and ran into a dead end.
Yes, LaShonda needs to check to find out whether or not he exists for real.
GREAT investigative work as usual, Diva. If you ever leave HickTown, that will be my cue to close up shop, for real!

My sister keeps telling me that I missed my calling and should have been a detective. LOL
I meant to add, (I don’t know if LaShonda is a regular reader or not), but if she finds out this guy is a fraud, she should look into purusing harassment charges against him.
Actually LaShonda did sign up for this blog today but I don’t know whether or not she will actually sign.
