Comedian Seth Gor, Ex Engage in Twitter Exchange Over Abuse Claims

Seth Gor is finally speaking his truth. Late last year, the comedian faced some heat online following domestic abuse allegations by his then girlfriend of eight months, Shiko Phyna, of which he denied.
On Sunday, Gor tweeted a detailed statement, narrating the events as they transpired on the material day. "Last year hours before my birthday, my ex-girlfriend violently attacked me because of my insistence in ending that relationship", he began. "…she physically assaulted me, I blocked my face with my hands and one of her blows ended up breaking her fingernail. This is where the facts started getting murky, she ran to a police station and obtained an OB and a P3 form (She is a cop and called her colleagues on me ), then she immediately launched a campaign and reached out to bloggers to paint me as an abuser". The statement concluded saying that the case "was withdrawn, and she [Shiko] apologized." - A claim Shiko has since refuted.
When the allegations first made headlines, Gor alleged that his "girlfriend and I are cool" when blogger Edgar Obare reached out to get his side of the story. "Nothing is going on, we had an argument she hit me and her nail broke", concluded his response - the last to be heard of. However, Shiko said something different. In a detailed series of Instagram stories, she shared a medical exam from a recognized facility which read that Shiko experienced "blunt trauma".

'The Trial of Chicago 7' Trailer Released

Netflix has released the official trailer for upcoming movie "The Trial of Chicago 7". The Aaron Sorkin-directed drama follows the story of seven individuals on trial, accused of various charges surrounding the uprising at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.
The official synopsis reads: What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest — including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, and Bobby Seale — were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot, and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history.
"The Trial of the Chicago 7" debuts in select theaters this September and on Netflix October 16th.
