Woman admits paying for monkey torture videos for 'deranged' sex fetish groups

1 week ago


An Illinois woman has admitted to paying for disgusting animal torture in order to distribute videos to members of "deranged" online chat groups, according to a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Amanda Leigh Fourez pleaded guilty in federal court on April 15 to charges related to distributing "animal crush videos" and receiving thousands of dollars in exchange.

'What kind of sick person would pay someone to make a video of sexualized animal torture?'

Fourez was a member of several online groups dedicated to "making, distributing, and discussing violent and sexual videos."

The videos involved mutilating the genitals of adult and baby monkeys, as well as their being burned alive and other "atrocities." She reportedly acknowledged making at least 11 payments for others to create the videos and then distributing the videos on at least 10 occasions.

"Fourez admitted to her role in making these horrific videos and posting them online," reads a statement from ICE Director Todd Lyons.

"What kind of sick person would pay someone to make a video of sexualized animal torture?" he continued. "ICE will continue investigating these sadistic online groups and do everything in our power to stop them."

ICE noted that another member of the depraved online groups pleaded guilty in February. Joseph Garrett Buckland of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, admitted to creating and distributing the videos of mutilating monkeys.

Buckland is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 29 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the charge of conspiracy to create and/or distribute animal crush videos.

Fourez is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 27 and faces five years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000. She is a U.S. citizen and 33 years old.

‘She sees herself as a man’: Jason Whitlock explains Megan Thee Stallion’s explosive cheating scandal

1 week ago


Just months after taking their relationship public, rapper Megan Thee Stallion has officially ended her romance with Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson — and she isn’t being shy about her reasoning.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay," Megan said in a statement. "Trust, fidelity, and respect are nonnegotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

While many fans have sided with Megan, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes there’s more to why their relationship didn’t work out.

“Don’t date a woman who calls herself a stallion, an uncastrated male horse. Megan the horse, that’s not what you want, gentlemen. She’s telling on herself,” Whitlock says, explaining that Thompson “made the mistake here.”


“One of these two people did not falsely advertise. She sees herself as a man,” he explains.

“Klay Thompson, you’re a man. You don’t want to date a woman who sees herself as a man,” he adds.

While Shemeka Michelle agrees with Whitlock, she also points out the fact that it is "ridiculous" that their relationship is such a big story in itself.

“I just think it’s so ridiculous,” she tells Whitlock. “I’ve seen multiple posts about women getting their own man back because they’re standing up for Megan Thee Stallion, and ... it shows exactly where we are, or at least where the culture is.”

However, Delano Squires believes there’s an even bigger issue at play here.

“This particular split continues a decades-long cycle of sowing discord between black men and black women. And part of the reason that concerns me is because you can’t build strong families. You can’t build a culture of marriage and strong families in any community where the default is discord between men and women,” Squires tells Whitlock.

“So that to me is the bigger thing, and I think both of these individuals represent two archetypes of what is wrong in the relationship marketplace,” he adds.
