Let’s cut the bullshit. In 2006, Michael Richards—the man forever clinging to the coattails of Seinfeld’s legacy—snapped like a twig at the Laugh Factory. A Black audience member dared to call him “not funny,” and Richards, the comedy genius behind Kramer’s slapstick, responded by spewing the N-word like a broken fire hydrant of hate. His defense? “I went into character.” Oh, please.
The Crime That Set the City on Edge
Jason Ayala, 37, a career criminal with a rap sheet spanning two decades, was arrested on January 12, 2025, after a brutal robbery in Manhattan’s East Village. In the early hours at an Avenue D bodega, Ayala allegedly attacked a 61-year-old man and a 51-year-old acquaintance, stealing a cellphone in the process. Despite being charged with two counts of second-degree robbery—a bail-eligible offense—what happened next sent shockwaves through the city.
A twisted Queens educator—nicknamed “Mr. Blunt” for doling out marijuana to his victims—allegedly turned a junior high school girl into his sexual plaything for two sadistic years, using blunts, porn, and threats to silence her cries for help, bombshell court filings reveal.
The Shocking Details:
Steven Perez, a Fort Hamilton High School social studies teacher, didn’t just cross professional boundaries—he obliterated them. Investigators say Perez spent years texting a 15-year-old student about his “girlfriend problems” and child support woes, lacing messages with unsettling pet names like “sweety” and “beautiful.” But it didn’t stop there. He allegedly fueled her underage habits with cigarettes and vaping oil—because what’s a little delinquency between “friends”?—before reportedly trying to kiss her after a drive home. Classy.
