Former Miami football star’s accuser makes statement
The family of a woman accusing former Miami University football standout Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault has issued a statement through its attorneys, according to Union Record in Milledgeville, Ga.
“Their daughter has done the right thing and reported this matter to the police,” a statement from the lawyers reportedly says. “She has been, and will be, available to the authorities to assist them in the criminal investigation. While the matter is under investigation, we ask you to respect her privacy, keep her name out of the press and allow the family space and time to heal.”
The 20-year-old Georgia College student told police Roethlisberger, a Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback from Findlay, assaulted her early Friday, according to the Associated Press.
Roethlisberger has not been charged and denies allegations.

TweetHoward Stern compares Gabourey Sidibe’s weight to suicide
Days after calling sweet as a cherry pie Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe ‘the most enormous, fat black chick’ he’s ever seen, Howard Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers continued to verbally push the fat kid around the school yard.
On his show Wednesday, March 10, Stern responded to critics of his early statements and compared Sidibe’s obesity to the recent suicide attempt of one of the show’s co-hosts, according to Examiner.com.
“Like, I kind of don’t see a difference between what our Artie did-Artie tried to kill himself. And I feel this girl, in a slower way…she’s gonna kill herself,” Stern reportedly said.
Earlier this week, Stern and Quivers went on and on about how “Precious” would be Sidibe’s only movie because she is too fat ( actually too fat and too black) for Hollywood and its absurd to think she has a shot at a career in the movies.
“Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” Stern said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”
Quivers was even tougher, calling Sidibe sick and criticizing Oprah for encouraging Sidibe to continue acting.
“Look in that room, who else do you look like,” Quivers said. “Those are the people who work all of the time.”
Sidibe has already proven the bullying duo wrong.
She’s landed a role in the Showtime series ‘The C Word’ and will star in the movie ‘Yelling to the Sky’ with and her next big-screen appearance will be opposite Zoe Kravitz in the drama
But Quivers and Stern do make a point, most of Hollywood’s actresses are a buck 10. Still there are plenty of plump actors.
