Two celebrities pled no contest to charges related to mistreating women today. I actually worked on a post about Ray J this morning and then scrapped it because it was not a story I had been covering here. The fact that there were two plea deals made today just struck me as odd so I thought I would mention it.
First up, CeeLo Green plead no contest to a felony charge of supplying a controlled substance stemming from charges made by a woman who says he slipped ecstasy into her drink and she later woke up nude in his bed.
According to Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said in a statement that the singer was “immediately sentenced by Superior Court Judge Mark Young to three years of formal probation and ordered to complete 360 hours of community service.” He must also complete 52 Alcohol Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous meetings with a private therapist.
CeeLo has admitted to doing ecstasy with a women while on a date. The woman later made charges that CeeLo had drugged her without her knowledge and taken advantage of her. The report was disputed by eye witnesses who said she left a bar with CeeLo that not and did not show signs of impairment.
On closer inspection, Ray J Norwood made his plea deal yesterday. Ray J was involved in some sort of drunken incident at the Beverly Wilshire last May. After a woman complained hat Ray J had touched her bottom in the hotel bar, Ray J was asked to leave. He threw a hissy fit with the valets and was arrested by Beverly Hills police. Once inside the cop car, he freaked out and began kicking the windows and shattering them. He then had his ankles restrained and in the process he spit on the cops. He was charged with four misdemeanor counts of sexual battery, vandalism, resisting arrest and battery.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Edward Moreton sentenced Norwood, 33, to three years of probation and 50 hours of community service for the trespassing conviction. He’ll also have to attend alcohol therapy and anger management classes. Norwood also is banned from the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, to which he must pay restitution determined at a hearing in December.”
It seems like Ray J had the better lawyer.
I thought Celo Green was gay. Huh.
I don’t see how a judge can sentence anyone to AA. That’s ridiculous and just infringing on personal rights. No problem with sentencing to qualified rehab. But to specify AA, with whose doctrine I personally do not agree is nonsense. It’s like sentencing someone to a specific church. I’d rather go to jail than an AA rehab. Those people are like the le leche nazis. It’s 100% their way or you are completely wrong. The success rate is not hood. And there is no science whatsoever to back it up.
Maybe they gave them that as a choice in lieu of longer probation, more hours community service, or maybe even a little jail time, just like they do when they offer rehab. Most rehabs are based on AA anyway.
Nothing there makes any difference to what I’ve posted.
The law requires us to have car insurance. How would you like it if they told you what company you had to insure with?
What is the point of going to AA when you have to pay for a private therapist?
Since it was a plea deal, maybe it was Cee Lo’s side that came up with the AA part.
Can anyone tell me what Ray J’s claim to fame is, other than being Brandi’s brother and pissing on Kim Kardashian, I’ve no idea how this guy is famous.
Frankly, I think he should get some positive regard for pissing on Kim Kardashian.

No TT!! We should all shame him mercifully for bringing her into our lives! With Paris Hilton!! Accccck! But I DVR every KUWTK episode. I suck.
Her Daughter watches the Kardashians! Her Daughter watches the Kardashians! (In my most shaming voice possible) actually I am interested in the metamorphosis of Bruce Jenner.
Oh Valerie. I can stop any time I want. Really , I can.
Her Mother must be so ashamed!

Preach! ^^^. Totally agree. AA is cult like in its narrow mindedness. I get that it can resonate with some, but when those people are the exception and not the rule? Um, what’s another word for unsuccessful? Um yeah, FAIL!
Either way, these two dudes are just complete and total assholes and there’s precious little hope of anything rehabilitating that sh*t.
Agreed.
That was to teecee’s 1st post. Also I’ve been watching “Atlanta Ex’s”…He has an odd relationship with his ex wife.
CeeLo’s ex wife seems super nice, but super co-dependant…they haven’t spent a holiday or birthday apart since they’ve divorced…he has his women, she wants to have a man..who waits for him to OK it? her son sounded more mature and realistic than she did .. I really really think she’s a super nice girl…I would love to be her friend, but ugggg…get far away from CeeLo…he sounds super controlling
What about him dressing her and all that? LoL
That one outfit was ATROCIOUS!
Yeah Christina is mesmerized my Ceelo. He’s got this svengali thing going with her, and when that doesn’t work, he just drugs them. She needs an intervention to get away from him. I agree, the son is way more mature. But she is so sweet and nothing like all those snarky women, with the exception of Ne-yo’s ex. She’s nice too.
Interesting photo. I knew about Ray j, which To me he went down hill after his song I hit first or whatever it was called about Kim k; however maybe I am out of the loop because I don’t remember anything about cee lol, was that complaint made a while ago ?
I think he was on the Voice at the time it happened or had just left. That seems like a long time ago.
What kind of damage did Ray J do at the hotel? Did Ray J touch her 4 times to get charged with sexual battery. It does seem like he had the better deal.
Ray J definitely had the better lawyer. He got no jail time. I believe he might have enjoyed prison as he could find other like minded men that enjoy pissing and spitting on each other. Class act.
Ray J wrote a little ditty called “I hit it first” referencing Kim when she was in a relationship with Kanye. Aside from it being a douchey thing to, he wants to succeed in the music industry and he thinks it is smart to piss off Kanye West? What a moron.
The idiot definitely got the better deal. I wonder if the woman with CeeLo plans to file a civil suit.
Josie, shhh. I’m gonna tell you a secret. I love Kanye. I hate that he married, “you know who.” I also think Taylor Swift owes a portion of the proceeds of every dime she received after he made her relevant on the MTV Awards. I know, I know, people say she was relevant before and would have been just as popular after the awards. I say bologna (sorry for my strong language). He thinks he’s Jesus and perhaps that makes Taylor, The Devil. No one can change my mind Josie, that’s why I’m trusting you to keep this in the vault.
(Whispering) no worries, Val. I will keep it between us. I think Kim is a twit too!
Josie, Her Daughter DVRs the Kardashians. Let’s point at her and laugh on three. One, two, three.
I knew there was something about CeeLo I didn’t like. Something about him always rubbed me the wrong way. Doesn’t surprise me. He reminds me of a predator. Too bad he has a son who he probably has embarrassed. His ex-wife is on Atlanta Exes.
And he is creepy on Atlanta Exes. Something very disproportionate about his body. Dwarfism like.
Something about the Ceelo case doesn’t seem right. I believe this girl and Ceelo allegedly go on vacations together and they are supposedly dating. Like TT said, the report was disputed by eye witnesses. Of course just because your dating and vacationing together doesn’t mean you should end up naked in bed with Ceelo. What am I missing? (I actually get a kick out of Ceelo.)
CeeLo creeps me out. He just does.
It’s the T-Rex arms, mostly.

AA meetings are boring and depressing. They always made me want to drink.
Any person I have talked to that went, said the same. The first thing they wanted was a drink. Then the whole religious thing. To each their own. It obviously helps some!
