According to actress, Donzaleigh Abernathy, Omar Epps must have gotten a wee bit too into his character and tried to do her harm for real, as opposed to acting like he was doing her harm. She was 59 years old at the time of the alleged incident and claims the broken arm wasn’t the only thing she suffered at the hands of Omar:

Via TMZ– Donzaleigh Abernathy claims she was filming a scene with Epps in May 2016 for the USA show “Shooter” where his character was supposed to murder her character, when he “completely deviated from the script” and “threw his left forearm with full force at [her] right arm,” and broke it. … According to the docs … along with breaking her arm, he also dropped her hard on the floor and injured her back. She claims production was stopped and she was rushed to the hospital.

Not only is Ms. Abernathy suing Epps, she’s also included Paramount Pictures in the lawsuit as well, for ‘negligence and assault and battery.’ In addition to that, she’s requesting punitive damages for her pain and suffering, as well as coverage for her future and present medical costs.

At this time, Omar Epps has yet to give his side of the story and as we all know, there are always three sides to every story- her side, his side, and the truth. So far though, this ain’t looking good for Omar. I’m all for method actors, who submerge themselves into their characters for the greater good of the art. But sometimes things can get a lil’ too real when they’re in the moment. Not saying that was the case for Omar Epps in this situation- wasn’t there, so I don’t know- but I’m just sayin.’

What I do know, is that as Omar Epps deals with this lawsuit, singer, Keisha (of the R&B group, Total), will be right by her husband’s side through it all.

The Epps Kids Back Then

We were used to seeing the Epps’ kids look like this just yesterday, or so it seems…

Where Did The Time Go?!!

But time has flown by and their mini-me’s ain’t so little anymore. Now Epp’s gorgeous eldest daughter, Aiyanna, has graduated high school, gone to prom, and is ready to step into adulthood. She aspires to have a career in education, according to Keisha Epps.

Apparently, K’Marie has ambitions of following in her momma’s footsteps. Keisha Epps revealed online, that K’Marie is singing now.

And their son, Amir, is following in his Pop’s acting footsteps with career ambitions of his own. Here’s what Keisha posted about her baby boy’s recent acting give and career ambitions:

lovekeishaepps: If you see this commercial, throw one up for my little man Super proud of him for the commercials and print he’s booked but even more proud for the way he conducts himself on and off a job. All the while, he’s working…he’s still a kid and that’s first and foremost. A polite & LOVING kid at that✨He doesn’t discuss it at school or take it too seriously. He’s a kid, having fun and saving money. He’s saving for “his” college because he wants to build roller coasters. Yup..an engineer! And yup a true kid because I’m still fussing about picking up behind himself‍♀️ #RealCaliforniaMilk #WhenACommercialResurges #EveryoneHasBeenHittingMeAboutIt #GoMirMir #NowShowMomma

And of course, the family that gets silly together…says together…

It’s a beautiful thing to see a celebrity couple that made it past the 10 year mark, which unfortunately is rare in the entertainment world. Can’t wait to see what the Epps kids ultimately become in life. One thing is for sure, they have two parents who have laid out a great path for them to follow.

Via TMZ: Omar Epps and his wife got a sweet deal on their nanny, getting her to tidy up the house and clean up after their pets too, without paying her a dime of overtime … according to the former employee.Alba Hernandez says she put in 8 years with Omar and his wife Keisha … taking care of their 2 kids. But she says she also ran errands for the Epps fam and took care of their pets.

Alba says her household duties required way more than your average 9 to 5. She says she put in more than 40 hours a week, but never got any overtime. She admits she made decent money … $65k per year, but clearly feels she would’ve made much more on an hourly rate.
She doesn’t says how or why she stopped working for Omar and Keisha, but she’s suing for back wages and unpaid overtime.

Keisha and Omar are typically not ones to talk about their private lives publicly, but apparently their former nanny didn’t get that memo, or maybe she doesn’t really care about that at all,because all she wants right now is the money she claims is her just due.

Hopefully the three of them can resolve this amicably and out of court because the last thing anybody wants is another costly court battle and lawyers fees on their hands.

On a side note can we pause for a minute to give Keisha and Omar their props for being ride or die for each other for the past 10 years? They have two children and are still going strong. Nothing like a strong happy, loving couple in the land of Hollywood, Hollyhood, and R&B…or whatever else you refer to the entertainment world as.

Another side note- We canNOT end this article without tipping our collective hats to the three ladies of Total: Keisha, Pam, and Kima, for reuniting and doing their thing on the recent Bad Boy reunion Tour some twenty some-odd years since their debut into the music world. And they are looking hella good while these days too…

And just for nostalgia’s sake…and because we love us some Total…Reminisce with us ILOSM family…
