Former Gyantunplugged Affiliate Arrested In Botched Bank Robbery Attempt!

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

It’s a sad day for Gyantunplugged.com. Yesterday ATL commuters were caught up the middle of a police chase, and foiled bank robbery attempt by one of my former assistants Mrs. Ancely Green.

Ancely worked as my Personal Assistant two years ago while I was filming “Gyantunplugged TV”. Her warm, maternal demeanor was refreshing. And being a good judgement of character you can imagine my horrific surprise to hear the news report of a robbery followed by Ancely’s name.

Yesterday I was stuck in the melee after returning from a Zaxbys’s run. Who could knew that the insane traffic jam was due to someone I knew, and who I still have great respect for.

I won’t pretend to know what happened. Nor will I make any judgement calls until all the facts are released. But what’s obvious is life can change for any of us in a blink of an eye. And to risk being in jail for years, it makes you seriously wonder how someone with such potential, and with three kids, would get herself involved in such a heart-wrenching situation. To this day Green gave me the most amazing gift that I still cherish.

Per Fox 5:

A mother of three accused of robbing a bank, and then leading police on a wild, high speed chase was denied bond by a Cobb County judge on Tuesday.

According to Dana Pierce with Cobb County police, 39-year-old Ancely Faye Green walked into the SunTrust Bank on Mars Hill Road around 11 a.m. and claimed she had an explosive device. They say she made off with $425.

A police chase then ensued just before noon from Mars Hill Road to Macland Road, then west on Windy Hill Road to Interstate 75.

GDOT officials say speeds in the chase reached 120 mph. Police say the chase ended when the Green’s vehicle overturned after it apparently hit a median near the Mount Paran Road exit at I-75. There were no injuries.

The family is in my prayers.

The Scene: @Zaxbys2080LRR Hosts Make-A-Wish Circus Night For Local Youth Battling Life Threatening Medical Issues!

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

Zaxbys 2080 reached out to their community in a big way recently by hosting an incredible event for Make-A-Wish foundation. The Georgia charter volunteers are part of a nationwide network of nearly 25,000 caring people dedicated to making wishes come true. Although it has become one of the world’s most well-known and largest wish-granting charities, Make-A-Wish® has maintained its mission to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special event assistants and in numerous other capacities.

The theme of the night was all about the circus, great food, and a fun atmosphere. John Silvey, managing partner of this independently owned franchise, strives to build community relationships by hosting various events throughout the year. John tells Gyantunplugged exclusively:

We definitely felt honored to be asked for a third year to host such a great night for such special children. We are community focused and do whatever we can for our community. We are very happy that all the children had a great time and enjoyed some great food, before going to the circus! We look forward to continuing our partnership with Make-A-Wish and can’t wait for year four!

Make A Wish expressed their gratitude to John and Zaxbys2080:

“Thank you to Zaxby’s (Marietta Zaxby’s 2080 Lower Roswell Road location) for hosting 16 of our wish children and their families for their 3rd Annual Zaxby’s Dinner and the Circus event! Everyone had such a great time having balloon animals made, getting faces painted, watching magic tricks and attending the circus! Thanks again Zaxby’s!”

ATL Blog: ATL Gays On Alert Over Stunt Queen Robbing Unsuspecting Gays All Over Town!

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

I saw a blog post on this blog site I’ve been following under the radar that was so scary I felt it my duty to educate all the gays in ATL. Ya’ll better be careful out there.

 Per Luckey Star:

fter a couple of hours he left. But returned a few minutes later asking me what my plans were for the evening. I told him nothiing, and he suggested that I come to his house and chill. Im farely new to ATL so dont know the area. He told me he lived on McDaniel St (Luckey’s note: In the West End area). which I now have discovered is a very seedy part of town. Initially I was interested. In the art of full disclosure, I am a apple products guy. Anything apple I own. Mac book. iPod, iPad, etc. Cortez suggested that I bring my mac so we can watch movies because he didnt own a computer.

After a quick shower we were off or so I thought. He had “helped” me by packing my bag and we headed to his car. Once inside his vehicle I realized I had left my wallet in my house. My ininitial thought was to take my stuff with me, but he found that odd, and began to talk me out of my common sense. He assured me wouldn’t steal my shit because A. we’d been spending a nice grip of time together. And B. To make me feel better he backed his dark gray Kia SUV to my door in an attempt to prove he wasn’t shady. I got out his car. Ran to my apt door. I was in and out all of 12 seconds. When I went outside Cortez was gone and with all my stuff.

Bubbling with anger I attempted to call Cortez but he wouldn’t pick-up. I had no choice but to call the police. When the police arrived and I told them my story they chastised me, rightfully so. Apparently they have hundred of thousand of cases in the Metro ATL area on behalf of Adam4Adam. The officer stated to me that I wasn’t robbed more so a victim of theft. The officer reinforced my story that I basically allowed a stranger into my home and he walked away with your stuff. I could file a report, but it woudldnt do much good b/c this is more a civil “he said, he said”. Without proof of theft I was basically shit out of luck. [Source]

There’s way more to that story, but I pulled the good parts. People you have to be careful with these online thugs tryin to stick you for ya paper. Being a fellow gay in ATL I figured I’d chime in with a post. Keep reading because apparently this dude, who goes by “Cortez” is pulling stunts all over town.

Update: @ShawtyLo Oxygen Show Cancelled, Blogs Report Erroneus Story! [2nd Update]

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

It’s interesting how so many blogs — top blog sites, too– all took to their respective web destinations to tap away at their keyboards in exuberance about Shawty Lo’s new reality show being cancelled.

It seems some people — present company included– were offended that Oxygen decided to give the Bankhead representative his own reality show called ‘ALL My Baby’s Momma’s”. The show, you can imagine, would follow the alopecia sufferer as he provides, supplies and denies all 10 of his baby’s mommas.

The original report, that came down from top blog sites, who I won’t mention, was that show was cancelled due to outrage of viewers. However it seems Oxygen has no plans on canceling anything. If anything its coming to us all harder and stronger.

A source, who works for Oxygen, hit me personally to say the show has NOT been cancelled and is very much still in development. It seems the erroneous reports are nothing more than a smear tactic to make sure this show wont see the light of day. A tactic that clearly wont work.

Lets see what transpires. Personally Im watching to see if the blogs who ran with the original story are gonna do their jobs or just let it ride.

Stick with Gyantunplugged.com. We dont let u down on news and views.

That’s the thing about sources. They aren’t worth a damn when they get it wrong. SMDH
