Cianci’s exit comes on the heels of an Instagram post from musician Paige Stark, who alleges Giovani, while working at Lookout Management, where he was employed from 2002 through 2014, “harassed and attempted to assault” her at the CMJ Music Festival in 2010.
“Immediately after this event he would not leave me alone,” recalls Stark. “He followed me and my band mate to a nearby bar and kept touching me and being in my personal space.”
“I told several friends and my boyfriend at the time but was too scared to come forward publicly,” she continues. “I blamed myself despite the fact that I did nothing to warrant Gio’s advances or aggression.”
Stark adds that in 2017 she emailed Cianci’s former boss at Lookout, and included a screen shot of the email in her Instagram post, but got no response.
Shortly after the Instagram post, lawyers from ViacomCBS reached out to Stark directly for her account, a source tells Variety, insisting that the company takes such matters very seriously.
Cianci had been a music producer on The Late Show since 2017.
(NEW YORK) — Tropical Storm Isaias raced up the East Coast bringing torrential rain and ferocious winds — and leaving deaths and widespread damage in its wake.
At least six people were killed by Isaias, according to reports.
Among them, a man was killed in the New York City borough of Queens when a downed tree crushed his car, New York ABC station WABC-Tv reported.
And in coastal St. Mary’s County, Maryland, a driver was killed Tuesday morning when a massive tree fell on the car, according to the county sheriff’s office.
Isaias made landfall in North Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane late Monday before charing up the East Coast on Tuesday.
Over 3.3 million customers remained without power overnight from North Carolina up to Maine.
Isaias bought powerful wind gusts, including 109 mph on Long Beach Island in New Jersey and 96 mph in New Castle County, Delaware.
The storm also brought torrential rain and flash flooding.
Sotterley, Maryland, was buried under 9 inches of rain while Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, recorded 8.59 inches of rainfall.
At least 26 reported tornadoes from North Carolina to New Jersey.
Isaias came after what has been a remarkable summer for the mid-Atlantic.
On June 3, a wind storm tore through Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and on July 10, Tropical Storm Fay made landfall in New Jersey.
July 2020 marked the warmest month on record for Bridgeport, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia.
(ORLANDO, Fla.) — It’s been a “challenge” for LeBron James, who is adjusting to his new life inside the NBA bubble.
The NBA season, which is officially underway, has rolled out new plans to keep players safe from COVID-19 by sequestering them inside Walt Disney World Resort hotels until the end of the season. USA Today reports that teams that made it to the second half of the season began quarantining roughly a month ago.
That means that the players have not been able to physically interact with friends or family members, which James says has been a hard pill to swallow.
“I miss the hell out of my family. My wife, my kids, my mother. And so on and so on,” the NBA MVP admitted to reporters after the Lakers triumphed over the Utah Jazz on Monday. “It’s a huge challenge.”
The Laker has been married to wife Savannah since 2013 and they share three children together — LeBron Jr., 15, Bryce, 13, and 5-year-old Zhuri.
Despite missing his family, James wants to make them proud by carrying the Lakers through another championship. The team stands to secure their 17th win, which would also be his fourth championship title.
The 35-year-old also understands that he is in a position to use his platform to make a positive difference and speak out against social justice issues like systemic racism.
“It’s given us the opportunity to every single day speak about, feel passionate about, whatever is going on in your personal life, whatever is going on in society and us trying to make a change,” he explained. “It’s being dynamic and being heard.”
The Lakers face off against Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
(NEW YORK) — Search crews have located a Marine Corps amphibious assault vehicle nearly 400 feet under the ocean’s surface after it sunk in a deadly accident off the coast of Southern California last week, according to military officials.
“Officials with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), and the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) positively identified on Aug. 3 the location of the amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) that sunk off the coast of San Clemente Island on July 30,” a military official said in a statement Tuesday.
Of the 16 aboard when the vehicle began taking on water during a shore-to-ship maneuver about a mile off the coast of San Clemente Island Thursday, eight were rescued, one of whom was pronounced dead at the scene.
Seven Marines and one Navy corpsman were declared missing and presumed dead on Sunday after an intensive 40-hour search and rescue mission. The AAV was determined to be too deep for divers to reach.
The Navy’s Undersea Rescue Command was able to identify human remains Monday using video from an unmanned sub, according to the statement. Recovery efforts could begin as early as the end of the week.
“The Navy has expedited the movement of assets to recover the remains of the Marines and Sailor, as well as raise the AAV. The equipment to properly and safely perform the recovery from the sea floor will be in place at the end of this week, and a dignified transfer of our Marines and Sailor will occur as soon as possible after the conclusion of recovery operations,” the statement said.
Lt. General Joseph Osterman, commander of I MEF, told reporters Friday that searchers had a good idea of where the AAV went down because Marines on other AAVs close by witnessed it go under. However officials initially estimated it had sunk as deep as 600 feet, as opposed to the 385-foot depth at which it was found.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Though Osterman said that only two AAVs have sunk in the last 25 years, Marine Commandant David Berger declared Friday that all AAV water operations will be halted until the nature of the accident is better understood.
President Donald Trump offered his condolences for the fallen military men on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.
“I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of eight Marines and one Sailor during a training exercise off the coast of California. Our prayers are with their families. I thank them for the brave service their loved ones gave to our Nation. #SemperFidelis,” Trump tweeted.
This week the Marine Corps released details of the nine service members presumed dead. All eight Marines served as riflemen in 1st Battalion, 4th Marines based in Camp Pendleton. The sailor was a Fleet Marine Force corpsman serving alongside them in the infantry unit.
Their names, ages and hometowns are as follows:
LCpl. Guillermo S. Perez, 20, of New Braunfels, Texas (pronounced dead at the scene)
Cpl Wesley A. Rodd, 23, of Harris, Texas
Cpl. Cesar A. Villanueva, 21, of Riverside, California
U.S. Navy Hospitalman Christopher Gnem, 22, of Stockton, California
LCpl. Marco A. Barranco, 21, of Montebello, California
LCpl. Chase D. Sweetwood, 19, of Portland, Oregon
