This is your Deli Dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations that shake the room.

Baby checking in behind the scenes of the Grind my low Riders.

For everybody that has been here, you guys know, when we check in behind the scenes of the Grind, it's just a check in.

How are you, what's going on, what you got, what's the vibe?

How you feeling?

I will tell you guys.

I was supposed to head to Candy's opening night of her play She is back on Broadway in the play Anduliette, but I did not make it.

After recording the podcast and doing the show and a ton of things, I was just like, I'm exhausted, and tomorrow's Friday.

I when to finish a week strong at the Breakfast Club.

So I decided not to go.

But I will reschedule.

I've already talked to the powers that be.

I will reschedule to head to the play because I want to bring you guys a review of the play.

I know I've been seeing people, you know, talking about some of the videos she's posted, and some excitement, not so much excitement, people in the middle all of the things.

I think it's dope what she's doing with Broadway, whether she's on the stage or behind the curtain, behind the camera, I support it.

So I want to pull up, and when I do, I'm taking y'all with me.

Now, let's get on into the latest.

So top of news this morning University of Michigan former football coach Sharon Moore.

So, okay, just a little rewind because we haven't talked about this here on the podcast yet.

So Sharon Moore was the you know, one of the big the big dog coaches over at the University of Michigan, and he was randomly, like all of a sudden, just fired a few days ago.

And when he was fired, there was a statement that was released by the university that said that they fired him because they had credible evidence that he was having an inappropriate relationship with the staffer, which violated his contract and university policy.

Right.

So, after this happens, he is then arrested and being investigated at that point for an alleged assault.

There were not much details at the time besides the arrest, and then there were some more details that came.

TMZ got a nine one one audio call.

Let's take a listen to that non on one audio call that explains a bit more about the arrest.

Speaker 3

Three for domestic projective caller for it is in the altiplication and how it's attack here sixpense stocking here for months for the patilion's domestic they call that one's wife and niverse saying that these effectives shout sight.

Speaker 2

Of perfect I think it's job today through Phottle you want that with certain knife and just defin why there's a UM detective that's going to be making a location as well.

Speaker 1

Now in that audio call, you were hearing the dispatch talk about the fact that there is a woman in her home who has called nine one one that is alleging that a coach showed up in her home is assaulting her and it's threatening to take his life, like he may be suicidal because he lost a job and she's trying to get help to just you know, be okay.

At the time, based on you know, how this call is set up.

Until this point that the No One Want audio was released, there had not been any comment from Sharanmor's team whatsoever.

There have begun to be unverified reports that were not fully unverified, some of them unverified, and I'll explain why I'm saying that.

So, at the time that the No Want audio released and there was a bit more details about his arrest or what led up to the arrest and the allegations that led up to the arrest, reports have began circulating again at the time unverified that this relationship with the staffer involved the person that who's home he had went to, right, but again this was not verified.

Today, as I'm speaking to you guys, he has been in police custody for two days.

As I'm speaking to you guys, he has been in police custody because I don't have any updates that he's actually posted the bond that he was given.

He's been in police custody for three days.

So he was arrested Wednesday after police allege or prosecutors alleged he went to this woman's home.

Thursday, he was still in police custody.

He hadn't seen the judge.

There have been no charges really anything solid release from the police or anybody saying what happened.

All that was being released to media was that they were investigating an assault.

Now you get to day three and he finally sees a judge, and from there, what the government is alleging is that he's he's now facing three criminal charges.

They're alleging home invasion at a third degree fellony level, stalking in a domestic relationship, and breaking and entering, which are misdemeanor charges.

His bond is set at twenty five thousand dollars, and prosecutors then gave a rundown of what the actions that they alleged happened based on what the woman in the home, and pay attention to the fact that they said that this was a domestic situation.

So what we know is that there is a stafford that he had an inappropriate relationship with because the university said that is what they found in their investigation, which calls for him to be fired.

He's out twelve point three million dollars.

By the way, he will not get the remainder of his twelve point three million dollars that he would have gotten from this contract because he was fired for violating the contract and violating university policy.

But we also know that he has a wife and three kids that he shares with his wife.

But all you know is domestic.

We don't know the identity of the woman at this point.

Well, now in the arrangment, more details are coming out.

So prosecutor said in the arrayment today that Shara Moore, they alleged he forced his way into the staff member's apartment.

So there's the staff member coming back into play again in a domestic situation and said allegedly, I'm going to kill myself.

I'm going to make you watch.

My blood is on your hand.

You ruined my life.

Now, what they alleged happened is that they led Sharam Moore and this staffer had a relationship for some years, and that the staffer broke up with Sharon.

They're allegend this happened top of the week, so all of this is within the matter of days.

And what they allege is that after the stafford broke up with Sharon, the staff are alleged she begins to receive a ton of phone calls and text messages that basically got her and she says that she alleged she wasn't responding, but these text messages and phone calls she's alleging got her to the point where she were she was uncomfortable.

She was uncomfortable enough that she went to university officials.

Prosecutors alleged when she went to university officials, she provided them with phone calls, texts, a timeline of a relationship, you know, all the things.

And she had to basically come clean about everything, and then they move forward with firing Charon.

Now, I don't have any answer, but y'all know it is on my list to ask.

I don't have an answer to whether or not like what has happened with the female staffer yet we don't have that yet.

But in continuing and you know what they are alleging.

The prosecutors, uh, they called Sharon's alleged actions a series of very very threatening and intimidating and terrifying statements and behaviors.

They also say that, you know, if he when he is released on his bond, there are some conditions because of you know, the because of what the allegations and the charges are, so he will be tethered to a GPS mind of course, no contact with the victim and he's going to be ordered so no contact with the victim, he can't go to the victim's residents, and there'll be a probable cause conference that will happen on January second.

Now, a probable cause conference is just a meeting between the prosecutors and the defense attorneys and where they basically say like, Okay, here's everything we have, we lay it all out.

You kind of see this if y'all watch Power, you kind of see them have this meeting all the time where they get together and they talk and they're like, here's what I got, Here's what my plan is, Here's how I'm going to approach it at court.

And then the defense is able to be like, well, no, I don't think that you should be able to use this, and if you use this, we're going to do that.

And then they talk about plea deals and they talk about, you know, just how they plan to move forward, discussing evidence and you know, all the things, because if they get solved at that point, they solve it at that point.

Now, the only update that I am seeing per ESPN so far, and again, all of this is changing by the moment, literally been on like pens and needles kind of waiting to get more information, because again, all of this happens so randomly, like it was just announced that he was fired, and then all of this like down spiral just happened.

Speaker 2

Like.

Speaker 1

But so far, there is a statement from his attorney, and I said this morning on the Breakfast Club when we talked about this, that at this point, once the arraignment happened, you would be able to pinpoint who his attorney or spokesperson was, So we should be able to get more of his side of things if they plan to present it.

So far, all his attorney has said is that he underwent a mental health evaluation and it was turned back over to law enforcement.

And they're not giving details on like where he plans to go upon his release, like you know, what the situation is with his actual real family, like anything.

So there's a lot more to come here, so I will keep you guys updated with the latest.

I have questions, as you guys naturally have.

I'm sure tweet meet your questions getting the streets and into tweet at Laura Lao's everywhere, comment your questions below.

Let's talk about it, I mean, next steps, what happens here?

What are their lessons learned here, not learned here?

Just anything sound off about it.

I want to hear from you guys.

Now switching gears to some positivity.

See what kind of dealing with relationships?

Waiting to exhale?

They are celebrating the icons, the legends, the lovely pillars of black television and entertainment, some of them Miss Lee lover Sean, Angela Bassett, and Loretta Devine all miss I'm putting the miss in front of all their names.

Okay, I would never not are celebrating thirty years of the Waiting to ex Hell movie this month that movie premiered in theaters, and the soundtrack and just all of the all of the things.

So they said down with Gael King on CBS Mornings and just took a look back at how impactful bringing black women together who were literally just waiting to breathe in, breathe out, Let it all go together, right, navigating life, relationships, all of these things, but doing it together and showing out on screen just the ceilings that they broke.

Let's stick a listen.

Speaker 4

I just feel when you were making the movie that we're doing something very special that hasn't been done before.

Speaker 1

Did you know while you're in it, that this is something.

Speaker 4

Being knew it was special because it was our faces, a brown, beautiful, brilliant faces on the screen together.

It broke through, It burst through because there were so many times we'd go into a room and you would hear that stories or stories about black people didn't travel.

You know, didn't you know that they didn't translate, or they wouldn't travel to a year, it would only there was only a ceiling, very low ceil.

It we burst through that.

Speaker 5

I know it was special just because it was so unique, and I knew how excited everybody was about it, and I knew how how lucky we were, and how special everything that Whitney had done up to that point, like she couldn't make a flop.

So it was special in so many different ways.

Speaker 1

Every time I think about career, I think about impact like that is like probably like one of the things I think about the most is like how what I'm doing right now be able to help people after I'm not doing it anymore, or I've moved on to do it in a different level, different phase.

You know, all of all of those things run through my mind.

I look at these women.

I remember I met Miss Lee Levershan on a set of BT Talks, which was a show shout out to BT and a whole team over there, which was a show that Tamisa shout out to.

Tamisa, girl, you know who you are.

She like, oh my god.

They gave me so much opportunity in Free Range with the interviews I was doing for them.

But I met miss Lee Livershan and I cried.

I remember telling people I cried and they were like, why did you cry?

And for me, it was just like, okay, Number one waiting to excel is just you.

Just even as I'm talking to you guys about it and saying the name of the movie, I hear shoot, Shoot, Shoot, and I see that, you know, the scene in the car, and like all of the symbolism in that movie for me, and just seeing those women on camera and live live their lives and be doing it to it just felt like it felt so familiar and what that did for me just as a person wanted to be on television, be in the media space, act direct right all of these things.

I'm looking at this and I'm like this is amazing, Like this is when and I think my first time I felt like I was probably like maybe twelve thirteen years old the first time I saw Waiting six, So of course I didn't understand it for real.

But now let me tell y'all something.

Now, Okay, me and my friends did a ski trip like last year around this time, I want to say, and cause you know, you get busy.

You have things going on in life.

Everybody's in like relationships, and people have kids and it's just a lot going on.

But I don't think people understand how much getting back together with your good group of friends, especially you're good good girlfriends.

Okay, I'm talking about the ones where you put a picture in the chat and they naming they naming people by their jeans that they were not big jeans, okay, not goal chains, okay, Like the ones that you really can key key with that really know you, understand you, or even if they don't understand you, are willing to take a moment to try and understand you, or just be there to be silent to hear you.

Getting together with that group of friends you're good, good, good good girl, You're good, good, good good girlfriends.

It's a different level of like healing.

Wow, I'm gonna text my friends after this and be like, y'all, we need to do that again, and it needs to be like an annual thing.

But I remember when we did the trip, when we left, I put that because you know that there's that mean that always circulates with the waiting to excel cast.

And they're sitting on the floor and I think they might even be passing, like they might be smoking somewat or something.

I think they are, And the caption of the meme says, I in my adult life, I understand this so much more now when I tell y'all, I put that in the chat, and we really felt that because it's like, man, you really do like you the things that this movie does for the group chat and for the girlfriends.

All right.

But one of the other special moments that it was very emotional to watch them share was when Gail King asked them, what would Whitney Houston be thinking in this moment looking back on thirty years?

Let's take a listen.

What do you think Whitney would think?

Speaker 4

God, it's hard to say, isn't it.

Speaker 5

Oh?

Man, I think she would be proud.

Speaker 4

I think it would have been one of the seminal experiences.

You said, you think she would think It's a seminal moment.

Angela, you know, she's so used to being solo there in the in the spotlight, in the hot glare, and to be able to share this moment with your girls, you know.

Speaker 5

Yeah, she loved doing it.

She had so much fun and we had fun.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 5

She was just so warm and loving.

And I remember certain press people wanted just Angela and Whitney, and Whitney said, no, we go as a group, or we don't go at all.

And that was powerful to me that she stood up for us.

Speaker 1

And for the listeners who can't see that clip, Angela Bassett is like emotional, like she's like wiping you know, tears in the beginning of them, you know, before their access question there looking at the shoot video in Whitney Houston, and she's emotional.

Shout out to wait in text hel in thirty years, shout out to you know babyface who you know the soundtrack that we got from that I know shoot went on to when Emmys and I mean Emmy's shoot went on to win Grammys and yeah, I just men, black women are like huh us period.

And for anybody that didn't understand a little sentence that I just said, you're not gang but if you got it, you got it.

The girls that no no like black women.

Yeah we that period, guys.

That is it for this episode.

Wow.

Now I want to go watch Way in Texel and I gotta text my friends because we got to do their that trip again.

If anybody is inspired to go out and do your own waiting to excel trip, men can do it too.

It's just I think once men do it, it's like hangover, it's not waiting to excel.
